HELP! looking for an MMORPG to play this summer

Phantomflow

I have played mmorpg since tibia started, later on I left and early this past years i've been searching for an MMORPG but haven't found one I truly like, i will appreciate if anybody knows one that's like tibia or ragnarok (grinding to lvl up more than following certain storyline or mandatory missions to lvl up), most likely as tibia that has an open world, and u have the options to do quest or grind to lvl up or to get better equipment. Obviously I don't go back to that games because of the P2W stuff and that, but I will really appreciate if someone have tried a MMORPG like this could tell me. Thanks ahead.

Were all in the same boat as you, frustrated in gimmick fast buck games $$


Even the classics have sold us out with cash shops and patched in content to follow what main stream is forcing on us.

IMO the only two MMOs on the market worth a damn are Wurm and EVE. Wurm only if you absolutely love crafting and don't need combat, graphics etc. to be very good. EVE only if you are ok with the idea of losing your gear, forced Open World PvP in all areas, and scamming and griefing openly tolerated. (It's actually not as bad as it sounds with the right mindset but the speadsheets in space aspect it what kills it for me.)

If neither of the above sound appealing I'd suggest making the switch to survival games for now. Find a server with a ruleset that fits your playstyle and with a community you enjoy. There are a lot of titles to select from and with the modding community you can find something that fits your needs pretty easily be it some Minecraft mod or one of the many survival titles currently on Steam.

Well. If you enjoy Ragnarok then play Ragnarok. Or maybe try the "sequel" Tree of Savior (not Ragnarok 2, that one is garbage).

You can try also Ragnarok Journey for a change.

You want to grind for gear and levels in the old school way?

DAOC free shard is the place to be right now.

EQ2 its free now.

I also look, but I shall not find. The ones I want are all unreleased. xD
Within this hollowness pit, I can't recommend anything.

Hefaistos

Look for a game 3 years or younger.

FFXIV/ESO/WOW atm are the best pve wise.

Vendetta Online is worthwhile.

Outdoors Offline is a great MMO for summer. That's the one I'm playing.

If your looking for an awesome mmo-rpg experience... time to go old school and play some table top sessions. XD

There's Roll20... or roll40? idk, seems like fun.

Light? What's that? I live in the Pacific Northwest.

Maybe can try out RaiderZ , a free WoW like mmorog 

Mikeha

If you want to grind instead of questing to level up then Black Desert is the only game that fits what you are looking for. The only other game where you can grind is Lineage 2 but its an older game.

Shut down 2 years ago.

Whelp, for some reason many peeps have been poking on World of Tanks.

I resisted.

EQ1 is about to launch a new progression server in a few days.

Like Tibia? That's a tough one, and will tell you right now there aren't many here that would recommend anything like it (they hate FFA games it seems).

Are you looking for the hardcore aspects of Tibia as well or just want to kill some monsters/explore and read?

You may enjoy something along the lines of ArchAge if you are looking for similarities. The re-releases of Darkfall may also be along those lines. Nothing I can think of that has the permadeath servers, maybe Path of Exile but it's not an MMO, isometric action rpg. 

You could also just play some Tibia, quite a few still playing on all the different rulesets.

Well, you can check out on youtube here, it was one of HL's first vids (close to 5 years ago now... wow)

Yeah, it is closed now, since 2015 (August). And I wouldn't say wow-like, it was more like poor man's Tera (but more honest and fun) mixed with poor man's Monster Hunter (in gearing). Was kinda brainless, with nice gfx, heavy focus on action and almost none on the story (with sometimes 4th wall breaking puns about how lame their questing, maybe that's why I liked it - I'm a story player, but self-irony and self-deprecating humor is cool). Dungeons were pretty good, and their version of Tera's BAM mechanic was nicely implemented.

If I remember right, the final nail to the coffin was a massive duping, compared to which the later occured Neverwinter's Caturday was just a weak prank   RaiderZ never really recovered and after a while PWE closed it off. They don't close games often, but since even Maiet has stopped to care about the game, a few months later it became pointless to keep the servers open without a dev team behind it.


(without stretching the posting rules much, I think I can drop this fairly safely: go "wild"  and try a net search for private servers   )

You could join me in Screeps, and learn to program AI at the same time. Massive world, shared by a couple thousand, PvPer, better than usual crafting to do anything, and a really good community.
