Looking for MMORPG suggestions?
I followed this discussion because I faced the same issue as the original poster. Yesterday I logged into EVE online, and honestly, I’d love to play it but it’s set for casual play. It’s clear from the start. In free play you can collect about 7-12% of the content, which lets you take down pirates or explore anomalies, and recycle resources. With friends it’s really enjoyable. I noted PSO2 could be a solid choice, particularly for groups of four. I’ve played a lot of PSO on DC and PSOBB on PC—grind-heavy but with interesting areas and good for casual or social sessions. Black Desert Online resembles Monster Hunter, with a tough endgame as people say, and there’s also a free trial available for BDO. It’s not strictly an MMORPG but... Factorio might be worth checking out? Being stranded on an alien world, you’d have to rebuild technology and try to return home. You’d likely need to host the game on a server or rent one, which is usually affordable. There’s a free demo and many community mods that modify the base game as well.
Pso2 feels good, similar to Xenoblade with its battles or Elder Scrolls Online.
It seems you're looking for a way into the expansion Path Of Fire. You'll need to purchase it, which grants access to both Path Of Fire and Heart Of Thorn maps. If you have gold to convert, you can unlock seasons 3, 4, and 5, giving you new maps and more achievements.
This discussion focuses on various games and gaming experiences. People share opinions on titles like Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, Space Engineers, Monster Hunter World, Factorio, Destiny 2, and TemTem. There’s a mix of enthusiasm for creative and action-oriented games, along with some critique of repetitive or shallow gameplay. The conversation also touches on preferences for different genres such as RPGs, MMOs, shooters, and casual titles.
You might consider giving Aion a shot. It remains a fantasy genre, yet it's open to play and solidly built. Plus, it fits your needs for PVP happening in distinct zones (mostly).
Well there is the Diablo series by Blizzard and that sort of top down game, like Torchlight 2 and Titan Quest Ooooor, for something more, Grim dark... there is Grim Dawn , the multiplayer is a bit finicky with some routers. Otherwise Warhammer 40k Martyr. Sadly you dont play as a Space marine or Ork. Some would say Path of Exile but i wouldn't recommend it unless you have experience with Diablo like RPG games before, played PnP Rpg or you want PTSD, also has a somewhat weak story. More towards the "normal" MMORPG direction... there are few i can remember, but they are your typical half naked bikini armor Korean nonsense games with a cheesy story. There combat is fun though: there is TERA and Blade and soul ...i guess i could mention Black desert online BUT it has open world PvP after level...45? but it has alot of cool little features few other games have like farming, player driven market, deep crafting and trading stuff (caravan and such). Vindictus is one, its old so im not sure how it is these days but i played the shit out of it, its not Open world though. There is also Archage ...but last i remember there was Pay to Win cash shop nonsense, they made a no cash shop version called Archage Unchained but people dont seem to like it..not sure why. some similar features to Black Desert online but its not as deep, still something. Housing and more advance/bigger farming is locked behind a Subscription sadly and the two big selling points is you can cruise around on ships, and glide around on a "kite"... Also has some PvP elements, similar to World of Warcraft with the multi faction thing going on. Two sides are at war, and also there is the Criminal Faction you can join, very PvP focused. There is also Shroud of the Avatar , this one im not sure if i would call it Action MMORPG or just the usually but it has its charm, no classes either but it dosnt hurt to specialize because it takes time to get stronger. Non of theses game are Subscription depended but some unlock benefits that might be worth looking at if you plan on sticking around for awhile.
