Need help finding a new MMO title.
0
Starting this topic may be redundant as I have played more mmo's than I care to count, but I would like to see if anyone could help me find a new title to spend my time in as I am bored with the ones I mainly play.
What I play now:
League Of Legends (My staple, I guess.)
WoW (Basically done with wow anyways.)
Runescape (When I can afford P2P.)
Minecraft (Whenever I feel like it.)
Hearthstone (Very rarely.)
Starcraft II (Rarely.)
What I used to play:
MapleStory
Tibia
Awesomenauts
Mabinogi
Ogre Island
EVE Online
DotA 2
Games I look forward to:
MapleStory 2 (Main reason I quit maple.)
WildStarr (Wont last long for me.)
StellarDawn (ETA of release is like 2025)
In essence i'm looking for an MMORPG that has leveling up that isnt 100% asian grinder. I dont care if it's medieval or sci-fi, but it must have a followable storyline. I cant give much more than that as i'm not really sure as to what i'm looking for myself. Prefferably not P2P or Pay to win. I understand that P2P isnt always avoidable but you never know.

Define asian grinder, because the Shin Megami Tensei MMO might be possible for you. For story, there's also Rusty Hearts and The Old Republic.

Where theres no actual purpose to the game besides hitting max level through spending weeks grinding the same monster for no reward just to gain a meager amount of experience. (Yes this is unavoidable in some sense. But you get what I mean.)
Edit: Then once you hit max level, you sell your account and start over.
Shin Megami Tensei? You mean that game I used to play on my Super Famicom as a kid?
Rusty hearts... Never got into that one, I tried it awhile back. Might be worth trying again I guess?
I've never tried Old Republic because i've heard mixed opinions on it and from what i've heard i've just become confused. Might be time to say "fuck it" and give it a whirl.. Question : How does it's subscription model work? Ive heard it called 'hybrid' but I dont understand what that means. Is it anything like runescape where you get 0 access to any cool stuff until you pay.

Ah, you mean excessive grinding and lack of real endgame content. Hopefully what I listed don't fall under that.
And yes, it's based on the same universe, monsters and concepts.
Go for Rusty Hearts now. It's got some new characters.
Hybrid basically means you can play for completely free or opt for a subscription. Microtransactions with real money are available too. Unfortunately, the only thing F2P players of TOR get full access to is the story itself. Everything else is pretty limited unless you pay.

Wildstar, Elder Scrolls Online, Blade and Soul, and Everquest Next are all supposed to release this year. All of them have caught my interest one time or another.

I vowed after trying it to never play it again as it totally did not turn out the way I thought it would, im not going to get into detail, but lets just say ESO is a definite NO.
Blade and soul ill have to look up. Everquest Next? That franchise is still alive?
Ill have to check out star citizen I may be surprised.
K well that hybrid model sounds like it ruins TOR in my opinion, but I guess I could atleast give it a spin. Ill check out Rusty Hearts when I have the time.
Could you also elaborate on Shin Megami Tensei? Is there a new one?
