Honestly I'm looking for a new MMO to play, but instead of people recommending me what to play, how about telling me what you play and why or what do you like about it.
Final Fantasy XIV. What do I like?
- Very High Focus on Story. And story especially after the 3.0 content gets super intriguing.
- You can be every class with one character. Mixing and matching depending on what you feel like/ trying out new classes is fun and makes alts pretty much unneeded.
- Entire game is a love letter to Final Fantasy fans. Tons of winks and nods and just sometimes straight up inclusions of things from Final Fantasies past. i.e Recent 24-man raid was based around Ivalice from FFXII/ FF Tactics
- Very pretty game. The dungeons and set designs for all the major fights in the game are total eye candy.
- Incredible music score. Soken is an absolute madman. He's produced some of the franchises best music tracks. No hyperbole when I say that either.
- Game is fun at both a casual and hardcore level. Challenges exist for all types of players.
Game is free up to level 35 with the trial. Progress is carried over. Give it a try if you haven't.
This does make me wanna restart my FFXIV sub, but alas, I only have time for one MMO in my life and none of my friends want to play FFXIV.Final Fantasy XIV. What do I like?

Oh wow, lots of FF14 players here.
I played it for about 3 months but lost interest quickly after the first month or so. I beat the story up to the point where you had to do all these quests to get to heavensward stuff but got tired of it. I was a scholar.

Been playing WoW since launch, this xpac is not in the best place in terms of endgame however if your looking to start fresh its hard to deny the leveling experience is pretty good.
As probably one of the biggest wow stans of all time on gaf and now here, I would note that both of these experiences you've mentioned (sheer content, and levelling) are vastly better in FF, and on a surface level the gameplay of the two games is extremely similar, which given how poor wow is right now makes it REALLY hard to recommend wow as it stands.WoW.
I regularly return to it due to the sheer content and allied races pulled me back lately, a paladin troll was my untold dream and it actually became possible recently.
Also I have some nice and rare things and much time invested, I don't see myself starting from scratch elsewhere a this point.

I'd love to know this as well because honestly I've loved all the MMOs I've played but it seems like those are becoming a thing of the past. We really need another one with a solid pvp aspect to it for those that want it without it being completely dumbed down a year in and making those players jump ship.Bit off topic, I havent played an mmo for a while due to a lack of time. I loved ESO and GW2, also FFXIV looks brilliant, I hope to get back into an mmo soon. I worry that there is a bleak future for MMO games, is there anything that looks good coming in the future or are we in the final phase of the traditional MMO's ?
Wow. I never got to play CoH, but always wanted to. Didn't really care for the DC mmo. Hope someone can get a public server up and running. I'd love to try.City of Heroes...hmmm I've heard a lot about this game. That it was very fun, and unique and that it closed back in 2012.
