Yeah I’m aware they chew up your life lol.
But I’ve enjoyed warframe and what was that gacha clone of btow lol.
I think for me grinding for those different skins or upgrades we’re really fun to me.
I think I’m looking for combat focused and something I can do solo
World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy and The Elder Scroll Online are the three pillars in “modern” MMORPG.
Pick the one appealing you the most in their own universe, their beginners experiences are differents but each one IS legit in it’s way. Don’t be affraid
Guild wars 2 is extremely casual friendly and tbh best played without other mmo experiences changing your perception of the genre.
I’ve played many many many many many MMOs ever since GRAAL online. Like well before EverQuest came out.
Paid to play - WoW. Close second, Final Fantasy 14
Free to Play - Star Wars: The Old Republic (however…much better if paid monthly)
