1) SWG pre-CU no questions asked
2) UO - wide open world with no obvious quests. Very different at time and still one of the better games out there even now for this type of gameplay
3) Ryzom - monsters that migrate with the seasons and realtime…
Crafting? Really I'd rate the crafting a solid 2/10 for this game. The crafting is the same old node harvesting add A+B to make C that has been done in almost every theme park since WoW.
Skill and combat systems id rate the game a 9/10 though. Th…
Been meaning to reply to this for a while now and never got around to it so sorry for the semi-necro post.
To answer the question:What is a crafting system that works and is fun requires 3 basic things. Items, harvesting, craf…
1) SWG back before it was destroyed: Bio-engineer. Loved creating the biggest nastiest beasties then putting them in a small rabbit body. Add creature handler to this list too
2) LOTRO- LM, loved how this class was a little bit of everything. Most…
Very pretty game. Playing it just drove me too nuts to continue though. Feels like a bad console port at the moment. UI is probably the worst I've encountered in a game yet, in a beta yes... but still. I did like the class system and as someone that…

Stuff like this seems to basically be a PR move and is a sign that even they have noticed spammers/botters are hurting their numbers. However, it's really just a token gesture to appease some of the masses. Banning doesn't work against spammers, it'…
UO: Quit because I moved and lost net connection for a little over a year. Never could work up the willpower to restart my character.
SWG: Game I started playing didn't exist anymore

Yup ryzom has seasons... and yes they kinda did put the effort into making the world different for each one. You can only find certain plants in spring for example... and other plants are only harvestable in fall etc. Just adds one more layer on a f…
If you mean skills and how you use them/get them as you level... then Ryzom is leagues ahead of most anything else in my books.
It's also the most complex I've ever tried though so that doesn't appeal to many people.
Basically you don't get sk…
I have to admit I love CC classes... that's generally what I play because they require so much more strategy to them (having to switch targets multiple times in a fight/switch from CC to dps to debuff to holy crap run like hell) most games I've play…
LOTRO for me so far... many of the classes have locked tiers and responsive actions that are only unlocked when 'something' happens. Makes every fight so much more indepth than just 1,2,1,2 stun mob 1,2,1,2 mob dead... rinse repeat of games like WoW…

I like item decay in games that have crafting that matters... or maybe the item decay MAKES crafting matter... what came first the chicken or the egg?
Anyway I hate bringing this up again because it looks like it's been discussed to death on t…

Short answer no
Long answer...... kkkkkiiiiinnnnnnnddddddddaaaaaaa yes
The F2P game model isn't misleading simply because you can play the game free of charge and most of these games (that I have played anyway which is between 5 and 10 n…
Anecdotal sure but I'd consider myself a peaceful type and I'd still play a sandbox game... the more games I play the more I think I prefer sandbox.
I think it also depends on the style of crafting/gathering too, if i'm out grinding ore by the…
