r/LFMMO

Hello everyone,so i want to get into the MMO genre,what i want from an MMO are the following:

1.None of the subscription bs
2.Action Combat if possible
3.An MMO where i can leave for a couple of months and come back without missing a gazillion things
4.Active community
5.Going back to the combat,i want it to feel impactful and smooth
6.Horizontal Progression
7.Reasonable learning curve
And lastly i don’t care much about the lore,i know some people critique a game off of its lore i’m just not one of them.

Thanks!

Hello, recently me and 2 mates played aion 2 and its good but we have no interactions between except duels and dungeons after 10 hours. We didnt reached top level so not all content is available but its tiring. Do someone know a mmo with decent grind (not a drop of 0.18 for leather) while allowing friends to play together. It can be f2p or need to be bought, my friends will probably not like 2d or isometric view. They liked aion 2 really but without real interactions its honestly shit, you cant even trade between friends you need to be top level to sell stuff to others peoples. Thank you in advance!

Edit: monthly payment is probably impossible its either free or only need one payment

I have experience with mmos through WoW, FFXIV, RuneScape, BDO, and New World. I am looking for a game that is a mix of New World 3rd person combat, namely having to aim for magic, and the amount of spells you deal with in WoW and FFXIV.

Since Turtle WoW got taken down I haven't been able to scratch this itch. To me, TWoW was just about perfect...

- large immersive open world with an active RP scene

- cosy vibe

- basic graphics without over-the-top flashy particle effects and animations

- RNG visual upgrades (I enjoy RNG grinds for stuff to make my character look the way I want - usually a forest wizard/druid or something along those lines)

- slower paced gameplay

- horizontal progression (can take long breaks without feeling like my progress is being made redundant).

- bonus that it was free too (I don't get much time to play, maybe 3-4 hours a week, so subscriptions usually don't feel worth it, plus they make me feel pressured to play to make the most of the sub fee).

I'm the meantime I've been dabbling with my OSRS account again, which I'm enjoying, but it lacks the deep immersion of something like WoW RP - where I can get cozy with a mug of wine, a bit of weed, and get lost in another world.

Hoping someone will be like "oh dude, how have you not heard of X before?! It's exactly what you're looking for."

ive been wanting to get into mmorpgs for a long time but because i dont want to spend any money for a subscription, i dont think i ever got the chance to play a good mmo (except probably for turtleWoW). I've also played Albion but i dont think it's what im looking for, it's pacing and gameplay just doesnt sit right with the type of mmorpg i want to play.

games i wanted to play:
WoW, FFXIV, (OS)RS

if anyone knows a game close to those that's also free or at least non-subscription based, please lmk. TYIA!

Title pretty much sums it up. My spouse and I want a long term MMO to play for the foreseeable future. I play a lot of them already, such as runescape, WoW and FFXIV but my spouse is new to it and is very against subscription models, which rules all of the MMOs I play out. Anything we are going to play together has to be something you can play without a subscription (one time purchases of expansions is fine).

An easy to follow story/questing experience would be a bonus. Gameplay doesn't matter too much, we'd be willing to try anything in that regard. I think my spouse would enjoy it more if there were cosy side activities like housing or pets.
