i am looking for an mmo similar to old EQ. no instances, lots of trains, long travel, painful death penalties, a hard game where grouping is necessary. anyone know of something like it? i've played wow, vanguard, eq
I suggest Asherons call as well... thought the game is abit dated with its graphics... it (to me anyway) is stuill HUGE.. I wish they would put some effort into it.. (Turbine that is) Asherons Call 3??? I would be there instantly...
Final Fantasy XI comes to mind. Much harsher than anything you ever played before. Also, Lineage II for more PvP - centric experience.
I "third" that (did I use that correctly lol), for the first 20 (or was it 21) levels it's really harsh to travel because you don't have your Chocobo license, and after you get to that level your gonna need a high level escort to Jeuno to get the quest for the license, and don't even get me started on the airship passes lol. So there is a lot of walking lol.
lol yeah FFXI, im playing it atm, if u have alot of time then this game is it, the death penalties get really high when you get into higher lvls, u will be losing alot of exp per death. and yes, in ffxi u need to group up to do pretty much anything. Only a few jobs can solo the game and it isnt even recommended that they solo it XD.

Maybe you could try Everquest II and Vanguard

EVE Online fits a few of your requirements.
