WOW! Final fantasy online sounds amazing! It uses controllers, thats way more immersive than keyboard :D And I am more used to controllers! Maybe I will give it a try too! :D

Give the trial a go, you'll subscribe, I'm sure.

I'm downloadering it as we type, it takes 7 hours though :O

I wonder what I should be, I was a druid in WoW, and wanted to be a rogue...........so mayby, maybe a jedi? But jedi are probaby rampant cause everyone will want to be like "Luke Sywalkerz omg!" or "OMG Anakin Hot OMG!".....what is another good melee class?

Soooo any others?

LOTRO - Craptacular payment method (I have Paypal, Direct Debit, and Western Union, do not have credit card!)

Vanguard - Same as above

Lord of the Rings Online maybe? I can't think of too many things that meet all or even most of your criteria. What exactly is wrong with WoW to make you look for something else? Also if you're really that hung up on, and I quote, "I cannot stand an immature player base, it is the ultimate factor, if the players are idiots in my eyes, then I must move on to another mmo. Stupid comments piss me off, as do irrational ones. ", you won't find too many solutions because every single mmorpg out there will always have people you would consider idiots, or people who made a comment that is stupid or irrational.

Furthermore, you say you "could care less about social interaction and social norms", which is fine because I'm partially like that myself, but if so, why even play a mmorpg in the first place? There are some quality single player rpgs out there where you won't run into these problems which you say bother you.

But to sum up, Lord of the Rings Online might be for you, and no I haven't played it, and I don't know how extensive character customization is, but I do know it focuses on questing, has a free trial, and is decently populated, along with being a Western MMORPG so you won't have to deal with many foreigners or bad translations.

 

I think I will give it [LOTRO] a try :D And the reason that I play MMOs is cause I'm 18. Have you ever tried to have a conversation with an 18 year old of today about something other than rap, sex, drugs, or some such topic? Something like genetics, the relation of muscle hypertrophy to the use of anabolic steroids, or the existence of anti-matter and it supposed different types? They generally don't have much or any knowledge in these fields, and that makes me look for people online to socialize with. Also I left WoW because the population was extremely immature and had grown worse since I started playing. And after 3.5 years of the same caps spamming, anti-RP community, who are self centered, and don't ever offer to help I decided to look for somewhere more mature. Plus in WoW noone even tries to socialize its all just "Gear!!!Gear!!!Gear!!! I needs a bigger epeen!!! I must win in the pvp!". I tried to say "Hello" "Greetings *bows* My name is >char name<" ect, but people are not into that kinda stuffs ^  ^ Well Thanks for the reccomendations :D

Ok, so my last LFGame thread fell to pieces, and I am going to make a new one that may offer more info about me, that may allow for better recommendations. My last thread was vague and just asked for a steampunk MMO, or a gun based MMO, but since those are scarce here are more things I expect:

I have played World of Warcraft, Anarchy Online, Everquest 2, Cabal, and Atlantica, Mu, Perfect World, and Second Life. In World of Warcraft I enjoyed the guild system and the emotes, and fluid body motions. I also enjoyed levelling via quests, I never grinded mobs such that I sat there for hours on end grinding mobs. In Anarchy Online I enjoyed the class flexibility and the community, the community was very mature and well mannered, and did not act like disfunctional children. Anarchy Online was the mmo that I enjoyed the most, by far, however the graphics were outdated when I started playing and the game has recently gone to pay to play. I do not feel the need to pay for such graphics. In Everquest 2 I enjoyed the character detail and the amazing graphics. I enjoyed the many different character creation sliders and all the different races and classes and combinations possible. I also enjoyed the mature player base in Everquest 2. I cannot stand an immature player base, it is the ultimate factor, if the players are idiots in my eyes, then I must move on to another mmo. Stupid comments piss me off, as do irrational ones. This may be contributed to the fact that many say I have Asperger's Syndrome, as I am a university student who could care less about social interaction and social norms ( I find them useless). To find a mature player base it is often recommended to have a higher level of difficulty in the mmo, so I would prefer a complicated mmo. (BTW the Anarchy Online population was the best I have ever found, also the brightest). I did not like Second Life at all, the only thing to do was have sex, and there was too much lag to even play.

I am looking for a free to play or pay to play mmo. It MUST have 3d graphics and a medium populace, preferably with some roleplaying. I prefer WASD or Arrow Keys, if possible gamepad compatibility, as I used that to travel in WoW (it was more fun than the keyboard, and if i knew I wasn't fighting it was awesome to travel between A and B). I also enjoy fantasy and sci-fi settings.

In short, if you are too ingorant to read the full text; I am looking for:

-A MMORPG, free to play, or pay to play.

-A mature community, result from a complex mmo.

-3D graphics and WASD or mouse movement.

-Complex character creation with a high degree of specialization ( alot of ways to look different).

-A Sci-fi or Fantasy setting.

-A moderate populace.

-Roleplaying aswell as combative elements.

-A talkative and English environment.

-I have tried WoW, Anarchy Online (fav), Everquest 2, Cabal, Mu, Perfect World, Guild Wars, Atlantica, Second Life, Project Entropia, Flyff, and.....I hated the Korean fail MMOs by the way.

-I really would like properly translated text, you know "Materials" instead of  "Matiriels" and other such FAIL Korean translations.

I know its alot to ask, and there isn't probably any MMO ever created that meets these requirements (other than real life.....j/k...sorta.....but there are alot of idiots in real life too...) but if you have any suggestions, other than to stop being a stuck up asshat, I would love to hear them :D

And by suggestions I mean a reccomended MMO that meets my requirements :D

Heya! I'm sick of the shit hole community that is WoW  so I left. The people who played on my server lacked basically all brain cell function, enough so that my hope for humanity dropped a little.....moving on, I've always like the steampunk and cyberpunk genres and I wanted to know if there were any gun based MMOs out there. P2P or F2P, it doesn't matter, and also a relatively mature population who are not sociopaths would be really nice. And I would like to avoid the Korean super anime look that is present in Cabal, MU Online, Perfect World, ect ect.....and also multiple races, maybe some beast races would be cool. Really wanted to try the Neo Steam game, it fits my description perfectly, but is not in NA anymore....any suggestions?

*Raises his voice and points finger at OP menacingly*

First, I would just like to say to the OP, Are you a f@@@^%$ Re#@%#? "Does anyone actually roleplay?". Who asks that sort of thing in a Roleplaying Discussion Forum? *facepalm* Of course someone in the world, of 6 billion people or w.e the hell the human population is now, roleplays...Ya know, stupid comments like that, let the people who do roleplay know to avoid you.

But as to the actual content of your post many would agree that in MMOs the game mechanics do not promote roleplaying, since the only thing that people care about in MMOs is levelling and being better than other people. Yay for e-peens and machoism?......NOT.

*lowers voice and ignores the OP, whose stupid troll like question has deemed him ignorable with any negative effect*

Moving on, I roleplay quite frequently in Never Winter Nights 1 and 2 on persistent worlds. Most of the PWs that I play enforce complete roleplay or banning/booting. And you have to know your Forgotten Realms v3.5 Campaign lore, or you will look like a idiot. But as for MMOs, they attract the "OMG I PWN YOU! HAHAHA" crowd, and these people have a brain cell count of 5, and are barely functional human beings let alone capable roleplayers. Much more is needed for quality roleplay than the ability to type lol and noob over and over again, and steal mommy and daddy's credit card on a monthly basis. Thus you won't notice alot of roleplay in MMOs. And yes I know NWN is not an MMO, I never said it was (some idiot is still going to quote me and say "NWN not a mmo NOOB").

BTW RAWR, FEEL MY NERD RAGE!!!
