What MMORPG are you playing, and why? (feddit.it)

I'm back for my annual month on FFXIV, but I honestly admit I'm growing a bit tired of the gameplay loop, the "omg you're the main hero !!" story and the sometimes very weird community. I love the world setting though, so I usually stick around anyway.

I would love to give GW2 more chances, but I'm not totally vibing with the combat system; plus, I wish art direction went a little differently, the game is not exactly holding up well these days (but I admit that square-enix is quite a high standard in that regard: even FFXI still looks artistically coherent, two decades and a half later).

Brighter Shores! It's a new game by Andrew Gower on his new game engine (just came out last month).

It's a point and click game similar to RuneScape that's mostly a second screen game. It's in early access and a lot will probably change in the coming months based on feedback (they've already confirmed they're rethinking some of their combat design and adding action queuing).

Unlike RuneScape it's been designed out of the gate to provide people with a way to engage without sinking a ton of time. You can do fully offline training in this game, so you can be gaining XP while you sleep.

The game runs like a dream, has a very well done sound track, tastefully simplistic graphics, and just generally is a cozy/feel good MMO with light humor and puns.

No micro transactions, generous amount of free to play content, and a $6/mo subscription for all content.

Huh I heard about his new game but didn't realize it was already in some sort of early access. Cool!

If you're interested, now is a good time to start playing. There are some limited edition hats being dropped for the holiday!
