Hi folks,

First off my MMO history-

• The matrix online
• Star wars galaxies
• City of heroes
• City of villains
• AION
• Champions Online
• LOTRO
• World of Warcraft

WAR

Level how you want and the game is easy on soloists or players that dont want to feel forced to join an organized group that seems to forget mmos are video games and not life.

Multiple ways to progress usually means sandbox, of which you have many different options. 

Ultima Online, Wurm Online, Eve Online, Ryzom, Mabinog, Istaria, Darkfall, and on and on. I'd just pick some and start trying them all until one catches your attention.

I didn't even think of that. I just assumed he wanted different options while leveling. Like how war lets you level in Pvp and Pve.

Cheers for the tips i might try out EVE online or some others looking really for something i can start with now and then really get into it when i build my new PC next year around january time!

I'd add Vanguard to the list of games to check out too. Similar to EQ and WoW, but more epic in scope and feel. PvP is weak, but it's mainly geared for PvE anyway. VG has a unique approach to leveling crafting and diplomacy is something I haven't seen in any other game I've tried.

If you're serious about this, then Eve Online really is the perfect game. Make a character today, and then train skills for a few months until you're ready to play. Other people will probably criticize the idea because you will be investing money in a game you won't even be playing for a few months and in a game you don't even know if you want to play, so I suggest actually playing the trial now, seeing if you could like it, then skill train for a few months until you're ready to play with your new computer. Then you would be good to go. 

The other problem would be the question of what skills to train. If you get to that point I'm sure plenty of people can help out, myself included. 

And of course it wouldn't hurt to try other games as well during the Eve trial, to make sure you don't find something you like better. Just an idea.
