What MMO's are worth playing these days?

So I maxed out my third character on guild wars 2 last night, gotten 100% map completetion (work from home so I have a lot of free time) and getting kinda bored of pvp/wvw now. Sadly thinking it's time to move on and call another MMO my home. I really like the look of Wildstar but not sure when that's out. I'm a former SWTOR and WOW player so other than going back, are there any MMO's atm worth checking out?

EVE Online

If you have the compulsive need to pay other people money so they can bore you to death then you should definitely try EVE.

If you are  burnt out on GW2, you could give Rift a try.  Just play the first 20 levels for free and play around with classes and abilities for a while.  The only downside I experienced so far is the low populatioen at lower lvls, but it's pretty easy to level up solo for the first 50 lvls

I like both Rift and SWTOR myself.

I started playing Darkfall Unholy Wars. I like the concept but I'm going to quit because I just cannot sink that much time into a game to progress. It's just too much for me.

I wanted to enjoy it, but the grind is too much. Just to stay somewhat competitive you need to sink 30+ hours into it a week. I don't want to dedicate that much time to the game.

Neverwinter is actually pretty ok.

If you are really interested in Rift.

Get the Rift Trial + Raptr

Then:

http://raptr.com/rewards/rift-storm-legion

The client for the Rift Trial is the same as normal.  So all you do is play it like normal and/or leave it running in the background with Raptr.  The promotion lasts until June 23 (or they run out of games), but you get experienced (top 60% based on time played) and you get a free copy of the game, free copy of expansion, free month of play time.

I'm playing Star Trek online, simply cause I want to design, and fly around in some Federation ships.

I wouldn't really recommend the game for normal mmo play, I have barely started to play the game, so I can't really recommend anything.

Though if anyone knows of any other 'recent' Star Trek game where I can do the same, then that would be cool.

The Secret World looks cool, but the combat not so much. The combat and movement feel floaty like in Oblivion and the weapons have no punch when shooting. 

Which one, aside of SWTOR and WoW, has a really good storyline to follow ?

Rift's is alright I guess. No modern MMO has a really strong storyline.

I got a friend addicted to WoW recently, so I've been playing that.Allicrombie

There was a time when I was subscribed to at least two MMORPGs at once (sometimes more) but now, I'm not playing any. The genre has become stale.  Now, if somebody made another game along the lines of SWG (the first year at least) and it wasn't filled with BS micro-transactions, I'd get excited again.  

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be giving EVE a go, in the mean time I tried out Rift and Tera but neither got my overly excited.

do not try EvE, it sucks. PVE gets boring really fast. it's only fun if you're a hardcore player.

try SWTOR for the class storylines.

if you have a lot of free time you should definitely try EVE, it's quite possibly the most rewarding mmo ever.Kh1ndjal

Don't listen to this bitter man. Eve is awesome if you like sci-fi and you're patient. Everyone should try it at least once.

If you actually plan on trying Eve send me a PM and I can help you get acclimated to the game. Eve is way more fun with friends.

I play WoW and RIFT these days. The only one's worth the money imo. SWTOR is decent too.

I think it is time you take a break

WoW, Rift, Eve Online, and some will disagree but Guild Wars 2.

Star Wars The Old Republic and DC Universe Online.

Eve is not free to play.

Unless you're talking about playing with PLEX, but then you're still not playing for free. You still have to earn the ISK and purchase a PLEX someone paid RM for.

srsly dont play eve. it's a trap.

eve online  = 1% rape everyone else

scamming is legal in that game.

get ready to have your hearts broken, thinking you are playing a regular MMO

Did anyone say Guild Wars 2? Doesn't get much love on these forums but I'm having a blast. It's the best looking MMO out there, has a good story entertaining story with it and loads of places to visit, monsters to kill and characters to meet. Countless hours of gameplay.FelipeInside

also, no fees. Major plus

Obviously he means FTP, no monthly fee,but thanks for pointing that out caption obvious. Advid-Gamer

Is that anything like Caption Crunch or Caption Kirk?  How about Caption Kangaroo?

I recently picked up The Secret World, and so far i'm really enjoying it. No subscription costs so that's always a massive plus. Only got around 10 hours logged so far but i really like it. It's got a skill system similar to GW1 (Limited to 7 abilities / passives), the quests are decent and differ from the standard MMO quests (Less kill x of this and more detective quest types), there is PvP but i've not tried that yet. Other than this i occasionally jump onto GW2. Gotta love no subscription costs. :P

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="Jacanuk"] Nothing WoW is "been there and done that" and the rest Eve, neverwinter nights, guildwars, star wars, are all free to play and not really worth it.Advid-Gamer

neither EVE or guild wars is free to play

Free to play means you don't pay anything to play the game, or now is every game you buy free to play?  And EVE actually has a monthly fee.  

Also, it's Captain Obvious

RIFT if you want a good PvE mmo.

Otherwise go with EVE Online, that is ofc assuming that you the will to learn the game.

I would stay away from the MMO genre for the time being. It's at its worst state, but if you prefer to play something over nothing go with F2P only to kill some time. This way you are also helping the genre evolve and make companies merge and deliver a true MMO with MASSIVE class/profession choices, massive world featuring more freedom and player choices as well as allowing structure building like housing/hospitals/guilds/cantinas/bars/military bases and strict security against botting/cheating/3rd party programs/multiboxing etc.

It's been done in the past before WOW came and I'm glad I was part of that era to truly immerse myself in an epic scale, massive world. Now that's what I can see myself playing for years and gladly spend $ on. It's been now 2 years, 4 months and 3 days since I've spent $ on a new MMO. Yea I bought DCUO cuz of the great IP and on discount for $35.

I'm currently trying out Neverwinter and DCUO expansion DLC coming this month Origins. Aion 4.0 coming next month and then there is TERA as well as Age of Wushu that recently launched as well as Ragnarok 2.
