Maybe you guys can stop with your nostalgia and move to XIV

Played it, came back. It's an excellent version of what it's trying to be; it's just that what it wants to be isn't what I want to play.

XIV is like my compromise of, "I want to play a progressing MMO that lets me always improve my character" and "I don't have much time and I don't want to talk to people." Also I love the final fantasy theme.

Otherwise, GW2 feels like the perfect casual/fun MMO to me right now... and it has a brilliantly well built f2p system. I'll probably get back in after the expansion.

Ill never quit 11, I've officially quit 14, but GW2 is fantastic.. dont expect any of the FF depth or interest, but the WvW is a blast.

Black Desert still looks cool, if it ever comes out in the states.

2016, they say.

[Edit: now they say 2015 almost everywhere. So soon, maybe!]

Yea GW2 isn't really a replacement for anything since it's honestly just very unique all on its own. WvW makes me actually enjoy pvp (which I typically loathe) and all the random events and such as always fun and easy for me to jump into. Also I love the combat, I feel like it is action MMO done right; FFXIV took a lot from GW2's action style but didn't go all the way, which creates all these issues of predictable boss fights and such... well I still enjoy it, but yea, GW2 really sets itself apart.

I feel another reason people don't speak in DF is because most players are horrible at their jobs and you don't want to get to know them

I went to FFXIV when it originally relaunched and enjoyed it. (lets be honest, you can only farm TT so many times before it got old and yes the game isn't perfect but if I could find a good group of fun people I would 100% go back) My original guild all quit due to rl/WoW and I came back to ffxi.

Getting specific about XIV for a second: Duty Finder removes any need to interact with the other people in your group, and since it's cross server, you aren't going to see these people again, so you have zero motivation not to be a total asshat. (Some people are still nice! But there's zero incentive to be so.)

To be fair, I routinely go through Vagary and Alluvion shout groups without saying much of anything after "<job> {Do you need it?}".

People will be lamenting the collapse of social structure in the post-WoW MMO until the Earth cools but people like being able to do co-op multiplayer content, the one semi-unique thing MMOs have going for them as games, without dithering about in an AOL chat room. The main reason XI's been able to survive as long as it has without a matchmaking system is because relatively little progression relies on your active participation in groups.

Seriously, I don't know why people are so eager to ***on MMO matchmaking systems. Could you imagine, say, TF2 if you had to ask nicely to join a game?

Look up pantheon: rise of the fallen; looks very promising since its creator openly said he was going for slower paced combat like ffxi and eq1, and that most of the game wont be soloable, even at lower levels.

I play Archeage and it's quite fun. If you play it do exp-quests till level 15-20 then start farming and building your ships for fun (because quest spams are boring).

Wildstar looks perfect for XI hardcores. Plenty of punishing mechanics during raids, weeks to beat one area, rewarding feelings after finally overcoming 'that challenge' only to be handed another.

Also, smaller playerbase from a game most people have comfortably written off. Sound familiar?

Looked this up because I'd never heard of it. Stopped looking as soon as I saw Korean MMO.
