New Home, New Journey - LF a New Game

Good evening everyone! Long time lurker here!

So here is the basics:

3 weeks ago, I picked my family up and moved from Wisconsin to Mississippi due to a promotion at work.  For 3 weeks, I have been "gameless" as we finish unpacking, getting everything hooked up, and getting some new furniture while adjusting to my new job, getting the kids adjusted to school, etc.

NOTE: The Comcast Horror Stories Are True.  Enough said.

Now that I am settling in, I am ready to jump back into the MMO world.  Except with my new position, I don't have time to "Game-hop" - I want to focus on a single game in a support role for a guild/clan/whatever it may be.

 

What I am Looking For in an MMO:

  • Can be fun Solo or in Group
  • Dungeon Finder Preferred
  • Decent Population
  • Fantasy/Psuedo-fantasy (SWTOR, FFXIV) Setting
  • GOOD VALUE FOR SUBSCRIPTION (not P2W, but "VIP")
  • Worthwhile Crafting
  • Engaging Lore

Games I have played that I don't want to go back to:

  • WoW (WoD killed it for me)
  • Archeage (Just couldn't get into it... i tried...)
  • TERA (Combat was okay, but didn't feel right...)
  • Rift (Just overdone with it)
  • DCUO (Great Game, just not my cup of tea)
  • Firefall (so mad about beta vs release...)
  • Champions (Do I have to say it?)
  • Defiance
  • Secret World (I will admit, I will be playing this on the sie... I just don't want this as my main game).

 

Games I have played that I would consider making my main:

  • SWTOR (Is it Worth it with VIP?) 
  • FFXIV (Had an account, can't access it, but would re-buy if no other suggestions)

 

Please don't suggest:

  • Trove
  • Anything Perfect World unless you have a VERY good reason
  • Anything that isn't available in the US (ie: Blade and Soul)

 

I implore you, MMORPG community members, help me find a new game!

     FFIV or the new EQ2 TLE server

    It seems like from your list you're looking for a big name MMO. Most of which you've already played. I'm sure a lot of people would suggest Skyforge, I guess you could give it a shot, but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Outside of some Dungeon Defenders 2, I've been playing mainly indie browser games.

    So yeah, maybe SWTOR or Skyforge imo.

    When all is said and done, more is always said than done.

    I know of very few games where crafting is useful but the only thing that comes close (in my opinion) to what you want is FFXIV.


    Fun is subjective but it has plenty of dungeons and solo content
    It has dungeon finder
    Very good population for a non-behemoth game like WoW
    Fantasy
    Required sub
    Crafting is somewhat different from the norm (as you probably already know)
    Engaging lore is subjective

    What exactly was wrong with ffxiv? Beyond that, you could hold out for Wildstar to go free to play, it shouldn't be much longer now judging how far they've come along.

    It seems that SWTOR has most of the things on your list.

    @Koruption i know you wrote WoD killed WoW for you, but take a look at this video

    i think the next expansion (legion) could revive it

    Mate, that is journey in the horseshit X Factor sense of the word.  People travel, shit I travel, a lot and very far. You have played so much you need to travel more instead.

    LOTRO is my go to for suggestions. It offers everything your are asking for. 
    Comcast horror? Never heard of that. I have the provider for years and never a problem except for having to negotiate prices every year. I guess that is another discussion though! :)

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
