Seeking a MMORPG with lots of Skills. (Crafting)

GRunyon

Hey everyone.  I'm trying to get off Runescape especially now since I lost my account.

WHat I liked about Runescape I think was the variety of skills... especially the crafting and resource harvesting ones.  I'd really like to find a game that would let me do the same.  I have tried in the past:

FFXI  <--- HATED IT
Everquest 2  <--- Loved it.
World of Warcraft  <--- Loved it.
Rubies of Eventide  <--- It was okay, better if it didnt take 30 seconds for the server to process info.
Project Entropia  <--- Second best game to Runescape.  Loved the community.


Thanks for any MMORPG suggestions!  I cant seem to find any more... with crafting at least.

P.S

I cannot stand 2D games.  I cant play knowing my avatar was drawn in Microsoft Paint.

Well harvesting and crafting are major elements of the Saga of Ryzom.

But it is sort of the anti-WOW in almost every aspect so if you loved WOW you might not like it. However, there is a free trial, so I suggest giving it a whirl and seeing what you think. The trial gives you a very good feel for what harvesting and crafting are like in the main game.

Actually, WoW drove me crazy because I felt the need to do every quest I found.  I only played until level 18 before my OCD took over and made me quit.

I liked it because there were lots of cool people to play with and I liked the graphics style and the fact it ran smoothly on my computer

For crafting and a bonus community....go with Saga of Ryzom, also they they just released a new expansion and a new server to come. Anyways a great game for what you seek

Well the standard answer is... pre-CU SWG.  No offence man, but as far as I'm concerned, SWG and Saga of Ryzom are pretty much the only MMOs with any actual crafting in them. Yeah, I haven't played every game out there, but at least none of the stuff in your list has crafting that's worth a damn. Sadly, SWG was ruined and SoR is crafting-only.

You may want to look at Roma Victor.  It has a nice crafting system, and plenty of skills.

No you don't.
If you listen to this guy, you will have more fun taking a $50bill and watching it spin around in the toilet.
