Hate to say it, but honestly the only game I can think of that hits all those markers at least some what is EVE. And well... steep learning curve space sims tend to not be everyone's cup of tea.
There's plenty of people playing EVE at all stages of…
lmfao, all the people claiming BGs killed Warhammer. Ya, it definitely wasn't the fact that the game needed another 1+ year of development before it got forced out or anything, nope definitely not.
Also, people aren't fucking reading - these are go…

I never got why Ashen Empires did not take off and become more mainstream. I almost feel it is unfair now because newer sandbox games like Linkrealms are going to get a Steam launch and Ashen Empires never had that chance.

Not sure how opposed you are to old games, but Dark Age of Camelot sounds right up your alley. Sub based game, no p2w at all. With some of the most interesting pet classes I've ever seen. Animists summon "shroom turrets" and can set up stationary fu…

ESO - no world pvp
GW2 - no world pvp
Ugh, what? I assume you mean they have open world PvP in dedicated open world PVP areas, but not in leveling areas?
I feel like I have an obligation to at least mention the original RvR game, Dark Age of Camelot.
3 Realm factions with PvP in their designated areas.
However the game is still an old school price model, subscription based.
Blade and Soul goes into "Beta" soon and is similar to your criteria, might be worth your time to check it out.
I put Beta in quotations mainly because the game has been out for years over in Asialand, but is only being localized now.
I played Inspirit on beta launch which actually wasn't that long ago - while the game was ok, it took me 16 hours to hit max level and there was literally no other content in the open world after that. It was all group dungeons and raids, which were…
Game has been in development forever, and there is barely any new content now than there was 5 years ago - it's a shame honestly. They also have videos advertising content that isn't even available in the beta (mining/blacksmithing, PvP philo sto…
I hate when companies announce MMOs like this, honestly they need to stop feeding these hype trains and just work on the damn game until there's something to actually show.
Crowfall is a perfect example of how a game's development should be deliver…
If a game is designed and built with both in mind, and they meld them well, absolutely. The problem comes when one aspect is focused on primarily, the other tends to suffer as a result.
The grind in this game is real - you can make it to like tier 5 - 6 in a full day (which makes it seem extremely fast paced at first) and then it drops to an absolute crawl: and while this exactly isn't so bad the fact that grinding is basically har…
I might come off as sarcastic or something here, but I assure you I don't mean to.
That being said, isn't there like literally nothing to do progression wise at level 50 other than raiding?
I played for a month after the re-release of ARR, farm…
Dark Age of Camelot has some significantly satisfying Perma-Stealth gameplay, Although the game is 15 years old the graphics are still quite decent (imo better than WoWs or EQ2s, etc)
World of Warcraft is an obvious example, you have the rogue with…

While I applaud their attempt, TESO is nothing like DAoC RvR in any aspect except concept.
You will never see DAoC RvR again until you see DAoC gameplay mechanics, which haven't been done (at least in triple A mmos) since DAoC.
Dark Age of Camelot…
