Looking for new mmo. Please suggest something

Hello All,
Sadly I find myself in the unfortunate position of looking for a new game to main I love Lotro but they have given up on it for now I have played it for a long time but the servers are just way to unstable. 

Anyhow I would like a game that has good crafting, housing and is not focused on pvp I suck at it. The game I would love to play is BDO the crafting is so awesome but there is no sub and to get the stuff you want for crafting buffs run more than a sub would. I am open to paying for box and sub I do not care if the game has a cash shop that some would consider pay to win if i can reasonably get everything I would want game play wise with the sub. I do not really care about outfits and stuff like that but like bdo they lock a lot of stuff behind expiring scrolls that cost like $60 a month.
My favorite game ever was SWG do to the crafting my fav class ever has been the lotro warden. 

I have tried ESO and it was decent I do own New World but haven't really tried it @Quizical suggest Uncharted Waters so I will download it and just see what its like but please make a suggestion. A bonus would be a game that can have a good duo team and the more open world/sandbox the better.

Thanks Guys!
Abimor

    So I went through and looked at BDO prices and for the stuff that is essential the three buffs for a month its a total of 60 but they are account wide IDK. I am really torn the life skill stuff is really fun to me.

    Well you own NW, I would give that a chance.  The crafting is not bad if you are into that.  Crafting/Harvesting loop is probably one of its strong points, although not better then SWG/UO.

    However SWG/UO crafting, you wont find that except for those games.  MMO's are in a slump so new games are not amazing.

    If that doesnt work, then you will need to time warp back many years ago.

    Everquest 2. I really love the housing there. The crafting was really fantastic when it launched though not that bad even now after it was simplified.

    There are two different Uncharted Waters MMOs.  Online launched in 2005, and Origin launched less than a year ago.  The latter is what I'm playing.  Unless you've played an Uncharted Waters game before (including the old SNES console games), they're very different from anything else that you've played.  EVE is likely the closest comparable among MMOs, but it's not very close to EVE.

    If you play on the PVE server (Utopia Ocean) and choose Joao as your starting admiral, I can get you into the #2 guild on the server (CsdaIndia).  And I don't mean when you reach endgame (though the game doesn't really have a formal endgame in the sense of theme park MMORPGs).  I mean you can join even when you're level 1 if you want to.  We have +2 fleet speed, among other goodies.

    Also, have a look at my Steam guides, especially the one with tips for new players:

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3121861290

    Top player lists are heavily dominated by playing time, not money spent, and some of the top players in the game spend little or nothing.  Some red gem mate skills are nearly mandatory, but they're permanent and very cheap:  $5 will cover all that you need of those for several months.  Free players can readily get them by selling stuff on the auction house, but it's easier to spend a few dollars.

    Don't pay real money (or equivalently, red gems) for the gachas.  Do use the tickets that you get by playing the game, but don't spend real money.  They're there to give blue whales a way to drop tons of money on the game, but you don't need them, and hardly anyone buys them.  Natural C-grade mates trained up to S-grade is how to get a strong fleet.
