Looking for a good MMO to play.

Okay i am a former WoW player. I played for about 2 years. I was able to finally quit about 6 months ago. But now im getting withdraws from not playing that type of gameplay. I dont want to go back to WoW, Ive tried Age of Conan and Age of Rekoning(Warhammer). those were too much like WoW. Is there any other MMO's out there that are pretty intense? I'm thinking about looking into StarTrek online.
 
I know what ya mean, since Tabula Rasa closed I've been missing mmo play as well. I'm currently waiting for Aion to come out in the US, give that a look, might be worth trying :)
 
I know what you mean :(

I used to be addicted to EQ2, which is unfortunately dying, and is similar to WoW but with better graphics and more in-depth gameplay, not to say I didnt go through my time addicted to WoW also. I eventually got tired of both, because most MMORPGs are just the same level after level quest quest quest grind grind grind.

I was looking forward to darkfall, fail, and AOC, fail there also.

I played warhammer at launch... it was JUST like WoW and EQ2....

I am looking forward to someone creating a out-of-the-norm RPG game that is also MMO! They seem to be stuck in the never ending vortex of button bashing targeting doom that all MMO's have...

yeah their all about the same after you get done with your first one. Might i suggest UO Ultima Online. Its old but still around i am sure.
 
I would say City of Heroes. It's still so far the only MMO of its kind on the market, and it really does some things right. There are drastic differences to be had when compared to normal fantasy MMOs, but it really manages to pull you in. Probably the selling point of the game is the shear level of customization you can have for your character, from your costume to your abilities to your supergroup (AKA "guild") base to the recently introduced mission architect, which essentially allows you to make your own quests. I can give anyone who wants one a free trial for the game, so just ask and give me an email address to send it too.

If your talking about proper raiding or pvp in wow i can tell you which MMO's I've played that AREN'T a good replacement, as i havent found one yet lol, hope this still helps:

WAR (you already know)
City of heroes - massive imabalcne problem, no high level to the game, only one raiding instance, combat lacks in skill. But fun to play nethertheless

Guildwars - It's alright, but endgame is just basicly take wow, remove all the end content of the game, and repalce raiding pvp ect with just WSG that guilds can do as a team. It's basicly just that, hall of heroes or guildbattles are like small battlegrounds and you make up a build from the large pool of abilites, bit unique in that respect rather than wow where everyone knows what abilities and builds your running. So it's basicly a large arena or small battlegrounds were you amke like say an 8 man team each with builds to complement eachother.

Eve online is really interesting, player driven and a real political and thought driven game, the metagame is amazing. But the fights are rubbish, you'll spend most of your game traveling or mining, and when you fight soemone you just get in the perfect distance for your said weapon, orbit the enemy ship at that distance and press a button to fire. the comabt is really lacking in depth, its no touch on sunwell concentration

I used to be a wow player and i still think its the best MMO out there unfortunaly, i hate the art design and universre/lore but nothing has the depth, content and intesnity of raiding/pvp and skill level. If i was you I'd wait till blizzard next unaounced MMO, blizzard have a nack for making substance.

Ya it does seem the WoW is the best MMO out there just because every MMO i have played after just hasnt hooked me like WoW did. I hope blizzard stops making expansions for WoW and just makes a new game.
 
yeah i just quit WoW a few months ago but now im really temted to go back since theres more coming out


try guild wars

UO is still goin, but ruined beyond all repair. Soon as Mythic got put in charge it has gone down hill & I can't imagine itll last too much longer. The new KR client that they came out with was by far the worst thing to happen to any mmo ever in the history of gaming. & its gotten ot the point where they dont even ban dupers anymore, they support staff jsut doesn't care like they did back in the day :<
