Similar to EverQuest 2

Hey guys,

I am looking for my next fun MMO but am having trouble finding one that really appeals to me.

My first, and only real MMO has been EQ2 but dislike how Sony have evolved the game - I miss the early levels where alien looking void beasts and funky bladed robots did not roam. When they removed the starting isle it really saddened me. I also find it very difficult to get into again after taking a break (EoF to TsO) all t he stats had changed and have not been able to get to my previous standard due to stat/item dependency from raids.

I am not necessarily interested in the best end game raiding games as I prefer to group/duo in my own time.

I must admit I am very picky in the sense I seem to compare everything to EQ2 which really dampens my enjoyment of new games so any advice on how to look at a game without thinking of the nostalgia of your last MMO would be very helpful .

I especially liked EQ2 when you picked an arch type class and did not progress it further until level 20 when you could choose your final sub type.


To sum it up for quicker and more eye friendly reading, I will list what I ideally would like to find in a new MMO:

- Good quality graphics with enthralling environments which are begging to be explored

- Good choice of Characters / Classes

- A range of Spells and Abilities - no button mashing games please

- Easy to get into without being too overwhelmed

- Usually play a Sorcerer/Warlock type Class

- A game that isn't going to leave you in its dust if you take a break for a few months (Falls in "Easy to get into")

- No Aliens,void beast monstrosities, light sabres or guns!

I do not mind mature themed games nor paying for a monthly subscription although free to play is always good!

Thanks in advance,

Termy
