Ok, here's the situation I'm in at the moment. My wife and I are looking for an MMO we can enjoy playing solo/duo. We like mob grinding, but not when its a slow treadmill. We like fantasy, though that is not an absolute requirement. We don't mind returning to an MMO we already played, if they've improved it significantly in the last 6-12 months.
We played LOTRO for a few months, but I don't know if they've really done much to make the advancement process more fun. I don't want another WOW quest grind.
We played AOC, but really hated a zillion different things about it.
We played WOW, multiple times, but starting up WoW is such a chore. You have to do a crapton of UI modding, and you know that in the end, all that will happen is you'll hit cap in a few weeks and be forced to either join a raid guild or sit around like a chump.
We played EQ2 multiple times, but we really don't know if there's anything really new left to do there.
We played WAR for a few months after release, but the crappy state of T4 and the insane amounts of CC just made high end RvR a drag.
Yeah, I realize I am being very negative here. I'm sorry for that.
Are there any MMOs out there of this general type I've missed that we should try? Anything that's friendly to duoing groups that want some fun, mob killing action?
We generally play a tank/dps and healer/support combo.
Urg. Was going to mention Final Fantasy XI, but you guys aren't into slow soloing and duoing, right? Although, in a party, the sparks can fly very fast. And at higher levels, monsters (that aren't bosses) can fall quickly. Well, good luck. Don't know what I can recommend--unless you want to try an F2P game like Mabinogi, for instance.
Flyff could be pretty fun if you play duo a fighter and an Assist(Buffer,Healer)
There maybe some grind but that wont be a problem when your 2 people (you wont get bored)
Burned out MMOer: But I still want to MMO!
