.Need a new MMO.

Hi, I am currently looking for a new MMO ever since I became extremely bored with WoW. I tried Guild Wars for a bit but didn't like the low level cap or the fact that better gear is just cooler looking at lvl 20. It was a good idea but not my cup of tea. I tried WAR and AoC at launch but quit after I saw all the problems these games faced. Does anyone know if those games have gotten it together yet? I recently played the trail for Lotro and I liked it better than WoW but wanted some feedback to it. Oh yeah, don't mention EVE because I don't like games that give me headaches lol. That is about it, leaning towards LotRO but might go to AoC or WAR if they got it all together. Looking forward to your opinions.

WOW, if good looking gear is what you came for looking at Guild Wars you missed the whole concept idea of the game; the game isn't about leveling up or having a cool gear - it's all about doing missions co-op with your friends, killing enemies and bosses with tactics - arranging your own skills as you may noticed you can only choose up to 8 skills, costumize your weapons and armor that best suits your tactics, it's all about the PvP or PvE - I want you to slay the dragon at the end of the game just by using a good lv20 armor and weapon and clicking on some random good skills - it take all of the 6 players to build up a team tactic to slay the dragon since it changes it's own tactic against you depending on how much HP it has left - now that's a game!

I remember when I loved playing SWG, ahh those were the days. Now I can't stand playing mmo's. The idea of grinding has killed those games for me.

Try WWII Online. They just started a new campaign. Guarentee you've never played anything like it.

Yes. I play it from time to time, great fun. Very deep, quite overwhelming, but very unique. Worth a try at the least.

Downloading the trial right now. Looks like fun. Thanks for the tip ;)

You could try Everquest 2. Its sorta similar to WoW, but is pretty different at the same time. Similarity is that its quest focused. I'm just starting up

From what I know of in EQ2...

EQ2 you can buy a house, or your guild can have a guild house. Pretty big world looking at the in-game map, and TONS of content.

(edit, whoops forgot to add)

The game has a good size population too. Some servers are really low, but Antonia Bayle server is very crowded throughout all the levels. Or another good server, not as populated as Antonia but still a good size med-pop is Lucan Dlere. Both are RP servers, but at least on Antonia, there doesn't appear to be much RP outside of guilds (similar to WoW RP servers (at least ones I tried) I guess)

age of conan used to be fun when you can 1-2 hit a mage. after the nerf they cant take 10-12 hits... ruined it

Age of Conan is a decent adult-themed MMO, and I think they have a free trial :) I tried it - It wasn't my type of game but it was pretty.

Warhammer Online is another decent game if you like PvP and I enjoyed the group quests :)

Dungeons and Dragons Online is Free to Play now and worth checking out if you are a D&D fan.

EVE Online can be VERY complex, but also very rewarding. You can make money doing missions, pirating, building ships, or simply playing the market. It does take a few months of training to be able to pilot the very big ships, but you can make an impact even as a new pilot. Death Penalty is probably the harshest of any game as you lose your ship permanantly and most components that were on it.

AION is a newer MMO. It's very pretty and I enjoy it quite a bit. The player base for some servers has started to decline a bit. It's like WOW-questing for the first 15-20 levels, then mixes in some grind along with more quests. It was originally a Korean MMO but has been somewhat changed for Western players. I will say I love the armor customziation :) I'm not sure if they have a trial, but I know if you head over to thier forums here on Gamespot there are people offering buddy keys.

Those are the one's that I have personally played. I have not tried Guild Wars so I cannot comment :)
