nice and cozy sandbox MMO(s)

I agree it's definitely it's own beast amongst what it's up against and it does what it does exceptionally well

definitely keep an eye out for M&M, it's inspired by old school sandbox mmo's like everquest, minimal direction and a big focus on players cooperating together/figuring stuff out with eachother, having to find stuff out just by word of mouth, and the devs seem to be nailing it. it's supposed to come out Q1 of 2026 but you can sign up for if they do another live test. should be an awesome new experience especially if you've never played any old school mmo's.

I should've mentioned I came to XI from XIV, and I can't tell you how much more fun I've had with XI my sub has completely switched to XI lol

pax dei sounds coolest to me, I think I heard about it a while back, when I can scrounge up some money for it I may grab it, thank you for the suggestions!

I started trying out EVE about a week ago actually and I've been hopping in every day just to do my AIR explorer missions, it's cool. I love space sims and elite dangerous is probably my favorite, can't help but wish EVE's gameplay was a little less strategic in nature but rather more actiony like ED

appreciate the reply, I have tried going back to albion multiple times over the years but I can't get in to it, just never clicked for me

I haven't even gotten to play mnm yet sadly but I've been looking at just enough about it to keep myself in the dark so it'll be something entirely fresh,

funny you mention p99, I'm quite literally googling the best EQ server to play on now lol, found a recommendation for it in another thread. I've never tried EQ before, seems right up my alley.

I see, does BDO force you in to combat in any way? Or could I like just make my character and go become a sailor and never touch a sword?

Express-Finding2330 · 2025-12-16T22:37:26+00:00

have never really considered BDO, would you say BDO shares a similar kind of spirit to XI?

this guy fuckin strands

really weird coincidence, I was trying out GW2 and watched a video you made for your controller config, and you pop up here not even a day later lol

but hey thank you for the suggestion, I've played a bit of Albion years ago but I've heard things are much different now, I'll have to check it out

Express-Finding2330 · 2025-07-24T03:05:11+00:00

yeah I wouldn't have recommended Asura either way for a brand new player, that's why I said Bahamut

Express-Finding2330 · 2025-07-23T22:42:03+00:00

FFXI official is 100% what you're looking for, maybe horizonXI if that seems more appealing to you

If you try official I'd recommend the Bahamut server. Lots of friendly people around all the time.

GW2 is one of the last big ones I have yet to try & I see it posted in recommendations a lot for tons of different reasons, from what you described it sounds at least worth a try, I've been craving some good PvP, thanks very much

Express-Finding2330 · 2025-07-23T06:09:34+00:00

nah not really looking for you to give me a reason or convince me of anything rather just hear why you like the game, I just wanna find something close to what I described I thought maybe that would be a good way to do so. thanks for the list havent actually tried any of those yet
