You want crafting check out FFXI one of the best. Just started on a fresh server and tons of group play and player run economy with auction house. You even have your own mog house.

FFXI has exp penalty on death and it makes it feel painful when you lose. You don't want to lose. Why did Demons / Dark Souls do well? It brought back the pain in games and the difficulty.
Playing emulated FFXI nothing like it. So much group content and open world with notorious monsters to hunt with others. If anyone wants to join on a fresh server join us here: https://discord.gg/ec6d8Br
