Probably my favorite genre of PC games are MMORPGs. The first one I ever played (and still to this day ranks as one of the most memorable) was Ultima Online.

Sure I've dabbled in others over the years like Asheron's Call, Anarchy Online, Champions Online, Rift, Warhammer Online, Star Wars Galaxies, DC Universe Online, and Star Wars the Old Republic, just to name a few, but for some reason I really haven't found a good MMORPG in the past five years that I've been able to stick with. And it doesn't seem like many new good MMORPGs are coming to market. I've tried going back to some, like Star Wars the Old Republic, but it's just not the same. You log in and find your friends list empty, towns/player hubs mostly deserted, and long queues for instances/raids because so few people play. Anyone else feel like this genre has hit a lull and is in need of a next "golden age" of gaming? The only MMORPG I've got on my radar at the moment is Camelot Unchained, the squeal to Dark Age of Camelot, but that hasn't even entered a beta stage yet. I liked SWTOR.

Only 2 MMORPGs I really got into Pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies and Mabinogi(which is unique because it doesn't have class restrictions and in theory you could learn every skill there is and use them as you need to).
I did try Star Trek Online a while ago but very quickly it felt like World of Warcraft "IN SPACE!" and the campaign plots were  . I have better things to do than attend religious sensitive training.  Yes there was a mission where they sent Klingons to sensitive training so they didn't offend the Bajorians. Never mind the fact the Dominion just Pearl Harbored DS9. I uninstalled the game after that. |

I feel your pain. I did LOTRO for 7 years off and on, and then SWTOR mixed in there some. The content kinda died. Not enough players.
Both of these are still good for single player fun if you like the lore, especially as LOTRO just now got to the Battle of Gondor, and has been slowly releasing updates. My favorite used to be PVP both in SWTOR and LOTRO. What turned me off was the grind to get gear for PVP. I'm still looking for another one to start. |

Same. Had high hopes for Albion Online. It looked to be kinda like Ultima Online of sorts, but it too went the route of The Division with a PvE and PvP area, where PvE players would be forced to enter the PvP area for loot and to farm crafting materials. Also, not hearing that end-game has much to do. Was also keeping my eye on The Repopulation and Shroud of the Avantar, but both are getting mixed reviews and have been in an "early access" stage for at least a year now. I simply refuse to pay to alpha and beta test developers games, so I don't do any of that early access crap. Black Desert Online looked interesting, but I hear its a port of a Korean grind-fest.

The only MMORPG I've got on my radar at the moment is Camelot Unchained, the squeal to Dark Age of Camelot, but that hasn't even entered a beta stage yet. I played Lord of the Rings Online for nearly 3 years. Nearly the instant they went to free to play the game died out. I was in a 10-15 player clan of people who were willing to pay the monthly fee and group with. Was pretty fun playing through the game with them. As they quit shit got given away to other clan members. I wound up with maybe 3 other players in control of the clan and bored as hell. Wound up with around 400 gold on my toon before I quit. The free to play crap combined with outright lazy story/quest levels is just horrible. No real immersion or reason for feeling like you are vested. These days I find it more fun if there is a solo play coop like Diablo 3 to play. Not sure what to say about games these days. Too much emphasis on graphics and crap perhaps and not enough focus on good game play. I thought maybe it is because I am getting older. But look at the Command And Conquer series for instance, I can still play and enjoy the original Red Alert and C&C. Originals are more fun than any of the newer C&C offerings by EA. The gaming experiences just are not as fun as they used to be. Best game I can recall in the past 3 years is The Witcher 3. GTA-5 being maybe 2nd in line. Rest of them leave me pretty much bored of them after a month. The MMORPG isnt any different. |

One of the biggest problems (IMO) is that companies are pushing for games to be both PC and console. The best MMORPG's are strictly PC, which many see as a dying breed since PC's are being dumped from households at a steady rate.
Another is that the player base for MMORPG's is currently stretched around multiple games. What really needs to happen is old active MMO's (WoW, EVE, SWTOR, FFXIV, ESO, GW2) need to shut down and focus on new games. |

Spent an insane amount of time in EQ and WoW was good too. SWTOR was decent. I too would be interested in a game that captured the old EQ level of interest but I don't think anything that epic exists or is even forthcoming.

I spent a ton of time playing Ultima Online. I had a lot of stuff, small castle, rares, server rares, but I gave it all away during the time when they were doing champion spawns. I was so pissed that they seemed to be unable to stop the speed hackers, and that just ruined the game for me.
I tried some other games, Everquest, D&D online, but I could not get into them. Then City of Heroes came out and I was hooked. To this day that is the game that I have had the most fun in. I played regularly with a great group of people, content was great, the game mechanics to me were almost perfect. I remember how cool it was to have bad guys and citizens talk about you in the speech bubbles. Really helped you get immersed in your character. A lot of players who were on CoH in the beginning said they were just playing it until WoW came out. I tried WoW, but was turned off in the very beginning by character creation. City of Heroes had a ground breaking character customization. WoW had a few choices. I stayed with CoH until issue 4, when they nerfed movement powers, but I came back for the Hammidon raids and stayed until they nerfed Hammidon enhancements. Then I came back for crafting and played off and on until they shut down the servers. I have a Star Trek online account, and I played it for a few months then life got in the way and I have not had the time to really learn the game. I feel like I am so far behind the curve now I would not know where to start. I played Star Wars the Old Republic for about 9 months, and I liked it but again life got in the way coupled with the fact that crafting was poorly instituted and felt more like a grind than any other game I have played. Star Citizen looks interesting to me, but since I'm the kind of person who really gets wrapped up into games I like I'll stay away for the sake of my 4 year old daughter. |

Not just MMORPGs, but the whole gaming industry is in need of an enema. The whole "micro-transaction" thing is killing gaming. Sometimes they even dress it up under the friendly title of "free to play". A good industry wide crash is due to get the market back on track.

You are absolutely right. Modern MMO's are pretty awful. Nothing will capture EQ and UO.
However, there are some fun games out there. Elder Scrolls Online is actually pretty good. Many opportunities for genuine roleplaying. |

The only two that had any staying power for me were SWG (Pre-NGE, as DragoMuseveni outlined) and WoW.
Star Wars Galaxies - My first real hook in to MMORPGs. I could play it every day and not get bored. Loved exploring, the class systems, and the economy and player cities. It really felt like you could do almost anything, and the Jump to Lightspeed expansion was awesome. WoW - Got in to it a bit after release when everyone was talking about it. It was great in the beginning, the long walk to 40 to get a mount. Had to run with the guild to get your class mount. It just went downhill from there. I was never a big raider but now it's just too easy. I recently got a 7 day free pass with a L90 boost. Just logged in to check my toons, I was able to faceroll a couple quests since I can't remember my rotations. I see you can buy a L100 for 60 bucks, so the game is about played out. There is a long list of games I played for a month or two that couldn't hold my attention like SWG or WoW did. Fallen Earth, Tabula Rasa, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, Star Trek Online (was excited for that one, too repetitious), EvE (The complexity of SWG was there, just lost interest)... Elite Dangerous kept me going for a couple months but now it's evident it will just be a grind to upgrade my ship doing the same things I am doing now. |

I'm playing SWTOR right now. It got a really nice makeover and now it has nine ops that are at level and fun on both standard and hard mode. There are also four additional mini-ops (two single-bosses and two event-based ops). If you get on a good server like Harbinger you can almost always find people to play with.

Maybe I should retry on that server. I have almost one of each class that used to be leveled up. I liked to play them all for the story lines, which I thought were fairly good. The PVP used to be fairly good too when we had guys that would play together. |

Getting ready to cancel my sub to FFXIV. I just burn out too fast on game anymore and I've stopped enjoying them like I used to.
If I had to go back to a game, I would have to pick Eve Online. Rejoin Goonswarm. Or atleast long enough to evac my hardware from their space/firesale it. That said, my PC time anymore is doing research and listening to netflix. Maybe the occasional round or two of WoT. Just not a big gamer like I used to be. |

I played once before, then after a long break, came back and restarted from scratch, then took another long break so my top toon is a level 40. Not a fan of the changes. The original stats have all been combined and renamed. Instead of trying to find something with a strength bonus for knights or aim for commandos, the primary attribute is called mastery, so there's no diff int he loot or gear between classes other then medium or heavy armor. Custom gear for the companions is out, they get a weapon and basic stats and you can't craft or buy better gear to make your NPC better, You still can changed their appearance though. Crafting has changed too, basically a whole rewrite. And now they have a things called 'leveling' where you're downgraded to whatever level is supposed to be appropriate for the area you're in. My main guy hit Alderan as a level 39 and the game lowers his stats to 34. Also there seems to be a fuck up with the trainers. An ability was listed on the trainer as being available at lev 40 when I saw it, then after I hit 40 I went back and it's listed as being available at lev 41. It's like they read the history of SWG and decided to do exactly the same shit SOE did to piss of players. |

Camelot Unchained is the only good one on the horizon. My brother and I are just like he OP. We love good MMORPG's but they are all played out currently. Even WoW has turned to shit. We gave up on that turkey a few years ago. We mostly play World of Tanks, Battlefield 4 and 7 Days to Die these days waiting on Camelot Unchained.

Everquest was my first love. Star wars galaxies pre fuckup was the peak of MMOs imo WoW started ok, but since has catered to the crybabies and became far too easy Player a shitload of mmos, shadowbane, asherons call 1/2, swtor, anarchy online, etc etc. SWG was THE best. I spent way too much time in swg. It was amazing. The nge just killed it. So sad. Agree ETA: SWG Jedi paid for almost a year of college for me.

Now you can use multiple companions as you level instead of just having one that is geared. With the new influence system they can become more powerful than any prior geared companion (too powerful IMHO). The stats change for companions is a part of the influence system now. Effects everything. A level 50 companion is as powerful as many human players.
3. Level sync irritates some, but after a while I like it. It keeps all planets relevant. Also, with it they made all heroics at level and they give good rewards. You can do weekly heroics on whichever planet you like at cap. 4. The trainer likely isn't a fuck-up. If you have a skill it autolevels it for you. The one you saw is likely the next level of that skill. |

That game will be killed off for the next StarWars MMO that takes in the New Movie universe. |

Everything sucks right now... Even regular RPG's are substandard
I never thought that I would put less than 300hrs in a FO RPG and be bored to tears... 
I miss the days of FO3 and TES: Oblivion... |
