And yet you’ve never heard of it.
This game has a population 1/1000th that of WoW and yet if feels more ALIVE. The community feels active. They are helpful, they are kind (for the most part). Constant community activities. The population is small on paper but the experience it makes it feel more like an MMO then wow has in a decade.
A real indie dev made initially by just 2 people. A game I have ~2k hours on and only scratched the surface of the content available to me. With absolutely no pay to win mechanics. Buy to play and go.
It even gives the famed FFXIV community a run for it’s money.
I don’t even wish to speak it’s name of these forums for doing such a thing would risk the toxicity and doomerish that plagues wow from spreading to that paradise.
It might not be the prettiest game but it’s the most fun mmo I’ve had in a long time. I still enjoy WoW. (Mostly raiding with my guild) but it doesn’t feel like an mmo anymore. Few mmos do.
When wow classic, hardcore, and SoD launched it had that feeling of community back… for a few months or so until it too died. This game community has been strong for years now and is growing slowly but surely.
You’ve never heard of it. Perhaps you never will.
But for those of us who know it and enjoy it. There is nothing else like it.
If you’re interested I am sure you can find it.
Not one of those fomo cash grabby “indie” pvp mmos. It’s PVE. No cash shop. Just an optional sub that gives a handful of small hardly needed benefits. Otherwise buy to play for a free time unlimited demo.
I wouldn’t say it’s perfect but I can’t think of another MMO that comes close. Some MMOs do some things better. WoW better endgame, FFXIV better story. GW2 has it’s horizontal gameplay. Wildstar (had) housing.
This game has community and 1000s of hours of content. New updates are slow but few of the longest players have experienced EVERYTHING this game has to offer.
It’s biggest flaw? It’ll steal you’ll soul. You’ll never want to play another game. Other games begin to feel like a chore rather than a recreational activity.
