I played WoW a bit after its initial release through the first couple xpacs. Getting the MMO itch again, but I know the WoW I grew up with doesn’t really exist anymore, so now I’m pretty out of touch.
For those of you playing / recently played an MMO, which one? How’s the community? How’s the lore? Gameplay in pve/pvp/rvr?
I dislike MMOs that require friends, working together, joining other people. I’m not knocking it. It’s just not for me.
So the closest things to MMOs that I like are more single player but with people. Kinda like people who go to coffee shops with a laptop.
The list:
Fallout 76. I jump back in every few months to check out my house and then leave. I played for about 350 hours before I felt like I did everything.
New World. It got pretty good! Honestly I just like chopping wood. Maybe 100 hours?
Elder Scrolls Online. The combat is so “floaty”. But if you can get passed it, the story is really really really good. Maybe 400 hours?
Old School RuneScape is a mostly solo MMO. Essentially single player with people, like you described wanting.
