After many decades of gaming, for the first time, I have a good enough internet connection to be able to actually play an MMO.
I am a complete MMO virgin, in fact, the last mutiplayer of any kind that I have played aside from LAN was NOLF deathmatch, so that gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.
I'm looking for an MMO that meets the following criteria:
- 1st or 3rd person, no top down.
- Fantasy or Sci-Fi-Shooty
- No soft, cartoony art-direction. Fuck WOW and anything that looks like it.
- Huge world to explore, actual things to find a bonus.
- Solo viable even if there is a ceiling where you can't advance without other players, I'll probably be bored by that point anyway.
- Deep crafting system: I want to have to search the world for components to craft a +2 Sword of Death to replace my +1 Sword of Death.
Some games that I'm considering from my own preliminary research:
Final Fantasy 14 - This seems like a safe bet, but safe is probably kinda meh, that's the feeling I get anyway.
Dual Universe - This sounded interesting, a NMS clone with a persistent multi that works?
Black Desert Online - This one is really teasing the shit out of me, I'll bend her over and try her out if nobody suggests something that sounds better.
