My friend and me kinda had a revelation recently about the genre and how it fits into our lives now-a-days: We simply cannot play as much as I could 3 years ago (6+ hours a day). However, we are giving up on the genre yet. We are looking for something new that doesn't take up alot of time or require a huge thought process.

I'll try to sum up what we are looking for:

P2P/F2P - Doesn't matter as long as the F2P model costs more than 15$/Month to be successful.

Grind - We are looking for something that has a low grind time. Somethign that after a one hour game session you can feel satisfied and what you did and feel like you actually accomplished something and not 15 gold/1 exp bubble.

Easiness - I don't want to number crunch all day to understand the game mechanics (ie: WoW - Res, Dodge, Parry, Hit, Exp, ArP, etc)

Crafting - Doesn't matter at all.

PVP/PVE - Either a very strong PVP game or a very strong PVE game. One or the other.

Community - Realtively large community especially if its a PVE game.

 Ehmm...Lunia?

Dream of Mirror Online

MegaTen (okay so certain parts of the game are a huge grind)

To be honest, if you feel that WoW was a "number cruncher", I don't think you are going to fill your wishes for easiness. WoW is pretty basic in that area. X does Y.

Indeed, pretty basic stuff.

Ahem. I'd like to look at this as sarcastic, but I'm afraid you're serious. Number crunching in such a -simple- game like WoW is certainly a waste of time and very unnecessary unless you have a probability fetish.

I was going to suggest WoW. It is as casual as an MMORPG can get -IF- you treat it casually. If you treat like this quote than you certainly are going about the game the wrong way, in a casual perspective that is.

Thats what she said.
