Been feeling the itch to get into an mmorpg. Hard to tell if there’s any good ones out. Seems some in the works but what is good this currently available?

My context: was huge into EQ2 for a long while. Loved Rift. Played AION. Didn’t really get into WOW but played it a tiny bit.

I like crafting and love the idea of building my house and world. One if the things I loved most about rift was building my dimension. I had HOOOOUUURRRS into it with some very cool stuff.

Anyway… what if anything is anyone playing. It feels like that genre is currently in a drought.

    WoW (Private Servers)

    GW2 (Personal fave out of these)

    FFXIV

    ESO

    I also hear New World has vastly improved since launch but I’ve not played it since beta so I can’t really say.

      I could’ve swear I wrote this… Only thing I’d say is to pick your WoW server well. If you like the story pick a server than has good scripting. Imo the one that has the best scripting is TauriWoW but they are still on Pandaria. If you want something more modern try Felsong. Still alright scripting bit naturally, the closer you get to retail on Xpacks the less polished they are on private servers.

        For an ex-Wow addict from vanilla through WoD, would you mind eli5 what’s the deal with private servers and how the work?

      I played New World through beta to launch and didn’t touch it after release. I just bought it and started last night. Really enjoying it so far.
