Anyone want to recommend me a mmorpg?

skyscan

Some of you are very knowledgeable in this category, so I've decided to ask you guys.
What I'm looking for is:
-user friendly interface (WoW is way too pr0 for me)
-f2p or 1 time fee (no subscriptions please), p2w is fine
-easy to level (i don't like challenges in grinding)
-decent quests to do <- not that important if its easy to level
-easy to get into -> as in, people post tutorials/guides to help you along and everything is very self-explanatory
-skillful pvp (not like runescape, where you just sit and atk eachother)************************************************************************************** <- most important xD
-move around quickly (mounts/smalls maps/teleporting, things like that), because i don't like games where i spend most of my time getting there
-NOT turned based

Currently I'm playing conquer online (been playing for 5 yrs, but it's been going downhill for the past 1-1.5 yrs). And in between I've played some maple story and tried Rappelz (too laggy), Last Choas (...enough said).

I liked Last Chaos, but it was a little too frustrating for me. Too many glitches and a lot of things just don't work. The community was pretty nice, but for the size of the game, not many people played.

Runescape didn't have any pvp and the community is terrible. Most people hack/bot and the main thing is grinding, and hard to level. Best thing about it, it was really easy to get into and everything was explained right out in front of you.

Aion looks pretty fun
might also try Runes of Magic

Thanks in advance to anyone who actually tried to help me find a good one

Guild Wars was what came to mind for me, randomly.

 

I wouldn't suggest AION to you despite playing it because leveling is quite slow in AION.  It takes time and skills aren't every level, they're every 2 levels below 10, 3 level 10-25 and 1-4 levels 25+.

Honestly buddy, you are not going to find a great mmorpg experience unless you are willing to pay a subscription fee. 10 bucks a month is nothing, and is definetly worth it, since the community and the game itself will many times better than something with a cash shop.

Don't have a credit card, most mmorpgs sell game cards.

i would say give Runes of Magic a shot if youre already considering it. Its very well done by F2P standards, and even better than many P2P games that have come along recently. great overall crafting & enhancement system, pretty good community, cash shop with the ability to auction in game items for Diamonds (cs currency) so you can buy CS stuff even without spending real $, pretty good pvp system with good & evil influence based on your actions.

Biggest draw of all is the dual class system. allows for you to basically pick a  main class that you like, and have a secondary class backing it up to give just the right kind of support youre looking for with access to some skills from both classes, stat bonuses, and special Elite Skills based on your class combo. for example priest/rogue becomes somewhat akin to a Shadow Priest in WoW, with healing capability as well as the best dps by far of any priest combo, while at the same time, switching to your rogue/priest side gives you access to elite skills such as a very nice dodge buff, and a massive crit boost on your strongest finisher. it makes for some very interesting pvp siince youve got people doing things like combining dps & heals, dps & tanks, 2 dps classes for max killing power, etc

ive played RoM on and off since launch, getting back into it again today actually. there is SOME grind, but honestly its not very bad because of the massive number of quests you can do, as well as repeatable daily quests.

I would recommend trying Chronicles of Spellborn, its just gone F2p. Its a great game and its very skill based, as you have to mix and match skills in your deck for what suits you best. The only problem you may find with the game is the traveling distance, as it can be a annoying sometimes. I would also recommend Guild wars to you, but i wouldn't buy GW now as GW2 is coming out and you may as well wait for that.

let me make this clear. i'd rather spend $10 each month on a p2w game then a p2p game. Why? I'd have more fun, because I'd have so many more advantages. Like i said, I'm not a heavy gamer. If I'm spending money each month, things in-game better be easier for me.

so you find glitches and intollerable 15 year kids and no support from the company to be easier?

you mean the same exact thing you get with like 95% of P2P mmos? recent big example: warhammer.... though at least there wasnt all that many kids, but the rest was true. nearly every class still severely broken in some way a year after launch as well as many other issues such as realm class imbalance, server lag, crit errors/crashes, and changes being implemented allegedly by player request though they were protested by nearly every single person in testing and on the forums. now after repeated server merging to keep populations high, theyre down to about 3 servers worth mentioning and those have become near ghost towns too, meanwhile f2ps like RoM are growing massively. stop assuming or trying to make others assume that f2p = bad. ive played many of both f2p and p2p, and with the exception of maybe 3 p2p games in the past few years, most of the f2ps have actually had better communities and support/fixes. people mistakenly think that f2p = they make no money and have no support, but if that were the case they wouldnt keep making so many of them and converting several big p2p games into f2p (hell even blizzard is toying with the idea of some f2p stuff too). these companies rake in lots of cash through microtransactions WHEN they do it properly, and it results in great support and constant updates. myself and a lot of others i play with have spent anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand on certain f2p games over a few months (sometimes shelling out $100+ in a shot just for a CHANCE of getting a much wanted upgrade to your equipment), so we're obviously not there because we cant do p2p, some of the games are just plain better & lots more fun than anything else out there
