Been feeling the itch to get into an mmorpg. Hard to tell if there’s any good ones out. Seems some in the works but what is good this currently available?

My context: was huge into EQ2 for a long while. Loved Rift. Played AION. Didn’t really get into WOW but played it a tiny bit.

I like crafting and love the idea of building my house and world. One if the things I loved most about rift was building my dimension. I had HOOOOUUURRRS into it with some very cool stuff.

Anyway… what if anything is anyone playing. It feels like that genre is currently in a drought.

    Have you ever checked out Ark? Not quite a true MMO, but it’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to feeling that “brand new to EverQuest” feeling. The worlds are massive, full of a massive amount of different dinosaurs, and the base-building is robust. Highly, highly recommend.

      To add to the above, there is also an absolutely massive modding scene for Ark, that can add anything from hundreds of new dinosaurs, to NPC’s, to new structures and mechanics.

      A lot of fun to be had with Ark, doubly so if you can convince some friends to give it a go with you.
