WANTED: Isometric MMO

Off Topic What Else Are You Playing?
1

Hey guys, lately I’ve been in the mood to get into an MMO, but don’t feel like going back to WoW.

I am however quite picky I guess, and 2 days of googling netted me zero results.

Must Haves:

  1. Isometric camera angle
  2. Mouse movement (not forced to use WASD)
  3. Guilds
  4. End game PVE such as 5,10, or even 25 man raids
  5. Decent population (reasonable wait times when LFG)

Cost:
I’m willing to try just about anything, but my preferences are:

  1. B2P: one time purchase grants full game access, pay only for expansions
  2. True F2P:Only QOL and cosmetic purchases in shop for RL$
  3. Freemium:F2P with optional membership that grants bonuses like +25% XP
  4. Subscription: reasonable monthly payment, full access.

I’d prefer fantasy, but I’d be willing to try sci-fi or something.
Note: I don’t care for PvP, so while that’s obviously going to be in any MMO, so long as it’s not mandatory that’s fine.

Losk Ark and Lineage online show promise, but release dates are unknown.

Thanks!

In my opinion, Final Fantasy XIV is really good. And although it’s F2P, Tera was another really fun one. Loved the combat in it

I’ve read mixed reviews on FFXIV, the biggest complaint being that it’s very slow with a long global cooldown

I’d drop Lineage from your list if you’re not a big fan of PvP, because it’s almost a forgone conclusion you’ll have it forced on you. PvP forms the backbone of every NCsoft game. There’s simply no getting away from or around it. Was the thing I hated most about Lineage (while international servers still existed) and why I couldn’t stand Lineage 2.

I play Realm of the Mad God, it’s mad fun.
Yes it’s not isometric it’s top down sprites make it look like a Final Fantasy 2 knockoff, but it’s really charming.
The fun comes from it effectively having perma-death and is completely off the wall hectic with it’s everyone on the server ‘dogpile’ on the boss chaotic style.

guildwars 1?

Try Devillian, you might like it. Check their websitefor more info. It’s freemium of course.

Path of Exile? :smiley:

Its actually not bad, started playing it yesterday. Only level 20 but it was definitely better then I thought it would be.

Not bad, fits my criteria, thank you very much. The characters have some…interesting? body physics… guess I’m not used to anime =)

I haven’t played since beta, has it changed so much that there are guilds and 10man raids in end game?

Rifts? its F2p and pretty cool
