Gawd, I'd love to just level a party and explore a world FF1 style. 3d doesn't concern me - 2d is just fine. I'm old, so turn based is preferred. Yeah, I played Atlantica for quite some time, but it got to be too "grindy" with no "soul". I just want some 8 or 16 bit pixel fun... but something more substantial, like a mmo. Anyone have any suggestions? The contents of this post do not necessarily reflect the views of MMORPG.com and its management.

Anyone have any suggestions? I think there would be a suprisingly large market for this type of game, but I don't think anything else besides Atlantica fits the description. Hopefully one of the big developers will have acknowledged Atlantica's success and will work to innovate in that direction.

If you are looking for a good pre ff7 (pre 3D rpg?) thats an mmo I'd suggest ultima online absolutely loved ultima single player rpg's back in the day and never really gave the mmo a shot.. but Its definitly complex (I did try free trial a week ago)

Yes.. the wizardry series is a great classic cRPG imo worthy of looking into.. lots of wizardry 8 mods out there too.. download custom themes and what not ;p its a 3D rpg not sure thats what you want tho heh wizardry 5 was a good balance between hardcore ridiculous dungeon crawls and accessibility to people new to the series imo.. and its 2D
