I'm looking for something that doesn't require too much effort to progress, as I wouldn't spend too much time playing it (I want sth to play beside all the single-player games)... It also shouldn't have too complicated game elements (to be honest, I find all the bonus stats, gems and enchants on equipment from WoW kinda puzzling) and relatively simple pvp/pve mechanics (again, all the spell combos for the highest damage from WoW is really sth I'm not looking for). And finally, it should not be a WoW rip-off (Allods kind of thing or whatever). I've just recently quit Conquer Online from TQ, after 6 years, but I have to say that it was one of the best MMOs I've ever played. I thought about returning to Runescape but I gave up on that idea and now I'm considering Eudemons online, once again from TQ but before I start to play it, I thought I may ask here for some recommendations.
The only game that kind of fits in to what you described is Guild Wars. Its a great game, good graphics, relatively simple. Also it doesnt have a monthly fee. Also, you mention that you want to play runescape. That game has to require the most time in order to do anything.
I was just playing Rift, trial. Pretty easy to get into... but I don't think any MMO is "easy" per se... because they all take a lot of time and effort to get things done.
I played Lord of the Rings Online until level 30 and it was very easy with a hunter. Then I had to buy quest packs to advance so I stopped. But it was easy to solo and can't beat free. :)
You could try DC Universe Online. There's a monthly fee, but it only took me about two weeks of very lax play to hit the level cap(it's only 30), and it's not that complicated of a game.
I don't feel like starting a new topic for this so I'm just gonna send it here... As I can't get my hands on Guild Wars just yet, is there something else you'd recommend ? It should be free and basically I'm looking for something where leveling is quite fast. Also, I'd rather spend a minute or two killing one mob and having to kill like 30 to level up than having to kill 1000 mobs to do so... Any suggestions ?
Most major MMOs have private servers that alter xp and drop rates. They are not always stable, but some are worth looking into if u dont have the time or don't feel like playing retail. They are free to play too, so it's a great way to get to learn the game before going to retail.
