Seriously, are there any good mmorpgs out there? Last year I've been playing Flyff and I have to agree that it was perhaps the only MMORPG I went up to level 40. But now, it's been nearly 1 year I haven't touched that game again because of the lack of interesting quests, repetitive gameplay and as usual, anime style graphics which is way overused, not to mention the bugs that I have found... which is quite surprising to me that this site gives the game a 9/10, which I think that it's by far a good game, at best I would give it a 6/10.
And before that, I tried Maple Story, at first it looked nice, but it was another grind fest, and I quit at level 23 because of most of the reasons given above. My rating for this game would be a -5/10. I'm being very biased here but I just can't imagine how awful this game is, so pardon me.
Now I heard that there's a new game called Fiesta which I heard from people that it resembles flyff. I heard some saying it's a bit better than Flyff perhaps raising my rating for this game to 7/10.
I also tried Dofus, perhaps the best one I played yet which had a decent story but you have to pay to get access to more content and the graphics are not that great even for a 2D RPG.
So if anyone of you knows a bettter MMORPG which is free to play, then please give me your opinions. I'm looking for an MMORPG more targeted to Adults and hopefully, if it ever exist with a turn based battle similar to the Final Fantasy series (ABS battle system).
Already tried Myth War Online but character customization was lacking a lot.
If you don't mind buying initially, I found Guild Wars to be pretty good. Quite engaging quests, interesting mission system, instanced mechanic which means no ks or waiting for bosses, and very little lag in the instanced sections. Lack of exploration and high aggro can get frustrating though.
Otherwise, I would suggest investigating means to playing Ragnarok Online free. There are several methods of going about it, the more devious of which we can't discuss here (though note they are abundant and not exactly hidden). But persist and you may find something that should keep you busy if it's your style of gameplay.
