Wow did it for me. OW2 convinced me it's not coming back.
Played wow again after not touching it for years a while back. They finally get the mechanics good and fun and pushing out content, in game community is dead unless you are already in a guilds discord server. Just saying 'hi' is enough to get you kicked out of a group. Raiding out of LFG is impossible unless you have a damn raiding résumé ready to send. No point to play it anymore.
All the parts of a good game are there, but the soul is long dead. Community is only a few steps away from being as toxic as League of Legends.
Have you tried GW2?
It's the "beige diesel station wagon" of MMOs. It does everything people explicity ask for: tame monetization, distinct playstyles, a world that's worth playing outside the most recent level-cap zones, broad cosmetic options-- but it's still seen as an afterthought.
I hear about it every now and then, but honestly, I thought it was long gone just not seeing news of it floating around. Ill have to look into it a bit more next time I get the MMO itch.
Another rec for GW2. I'd recommend you try the F2P game so you get a general sense of the mechanics and see if you like it, then wait for a sale to buy the "Elder Dragon Saga—Complete Collection" for half-price. I mean, there's enough content for it to be worth 100 bucks, but for 50 it's a bargain.
Maybe give FFXIV a try! There’s a pretty expanded free portion that lets you play through a large portion of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay and there’s something resembling a story.
I gave it a try and it didn't quite hook me. I think if I knew other people IRL that I could play with, it would help. Its hard to get people to buy a game let alone get into an MMO.
Ah yeah I could see that. My family got into it for a few months and was a lot of fun. I did have pretty good experiences with randos though.
