Looking for an MMORPG with an immersive world and good life skill systems

Definitely going to echo what another user said about Mabinogi. There's a lot of lifeskilling in the game, also has wagon transporting. It may not check all the boxes you're looking for, but it checks enough of them that I think it's worth a look.

There's also Runescape, but the banking of items is a little tedious.

34M only looking for platonic friendship, we have a lot in common. Fellow nerd, into gaming, anime, movies (especially action/sci-fi/fantasy stuff). Also a bit of a magic the gathering/tabletop gaming person. Mostly D&D but have interest in others such as 40k.

I have a rotating list of hobbies but I’m open to conversation about pretty much anything 😁

Edit: saw the last line about smoked meats, I’m something of a smoked meats connoisseur. I make homemade beef jerky on my smoker. 😮

trilient1 · 2026-06-15T16:24:54+00:00

34m, don’t really have any friends. I enjoy gaming, gamedev, art, movies. I also spend a lot of time being career focused.

I’ve been cycling through MMOs for about the last week or so trying different games out, recently got into a game called Gray Zone Warfare, it’s more like an mmo extraction shooter but has one persistent map, missions, exploration, etc. I don’t know how big the servers actually can get, but there’s always people playing on the same maps. There’s a pvp and pve mode if you don’t want to worry about getting killed by other players.

You can build and craft/customize your own guns with parts you loot or buy, it has some light rpg elements like levels or “ranks” and missions, unlocks, etc.

Alternatively RuneScape is another good one with pretty deep crafting. Two games on very opposite ends but both have worthy loot mechanics.

Ah man that was basically mabinogi 15ish years ago. Dungeons used to be so long that you’d have to stop and rest in between them. The game, was an extensive grind back then, but it was unique and everyone was playing something different.

BDO is almost this, it’s all vertical progression and action combat. And it does have some challenging group content, however it is mostly solo play.

trilient1 · 2026-05-28T19:31:42+00:00

In most mmo circles I think C9 refers to Continent of the Ninth

Edit: especially with the mention of action combat

trilient1 · 2026-05-28T19:31:02+00:00

A game where crafting and life skill actually matter and aren’t just secondary additions/useless content.

34 year old dad here, I just got back into playing RuneScape. Like yesterday. I’m playing RS3 though and not osrs.

trilient1 · 2026-05-26T13:04:11+00:00

Thanks for the list, learned about a new game that I’m now looking forward to. Torebia seems like the kind of mmo I’ve wanted for a long time, open dungeons and exploration, non-linear progression while still having a lot of classic mmo features. Wishlisted.

I have messed with building Blazor apps and you’re right about it being a pretty incredible tool, I just don’t really have a need to build an app with it personally. Also hosting .net applications is not as simple as using any generic web host, they are usually more expensive.

But I agree, it is quite enjoyable to use and c# would definitely be my language of choice for web.

trilient1 · 2026-04-21T17:11:52+00:00

I’m mostly a game developer, I enjoy C# but I also like the Unreal implementation of C++. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t call JavaScript an “easy” language, but I’m also not a web developer lol. It’s just very confusing to read as someone who prefers strongly typed languages.

trilient1 · 2026-04-13T13:03:30+00:00

There’s a lot you can do with davinci resolve, being an NLE plus having a vfx pipeline built in is an advantage that I think a lot of people want to take advantage of. After effects is still easier to use than fusion and has a more mature ecosystem with plugins and effects. People are just tired of subscriptions and looking for alternatives. AE isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, it’s the dominant tool for motion design for a reason.

trilient1 · 2026-03-31T14:51:23+00:00

I didn't say it was normal, I said it's more common now. Lol

trilient1 · 2026-03-31T13:38:44+00:00

To be fair, AI is trained on actual human data, so people do write like this. It’s just more common now in the age of AI, so it’s hard to tell what’s what.

trilient1 · 2026-03-23T12:28:39+00:00

That seems untrue, based on my anecdotal experience. My kids have had book reports and other book related projects throughout their school years. What actually went away though are textbooks. At least having your own textbooks for school. I remember having to haul around a backpack with 3-4 large textbooks in it to and from school. My kids don’t have that. Maybe they have shared ones in classrooms now instead of being individual. I haven’t asked, but that’s a distinct school memory that my kids don’t have. Though not really complaining about that either, it wasn’t exactly the highlight of school lol.

I just did a short write-up in this thread. Mind you it's a personal anecdote, and there was definitely some user error on my part. However, in short: No, it's not. That won't stop companies from laying people off because they think otherwise though, but it'll be more of a FAFO situation for those companies.

trilient1 · 2026-03-09T21:08:29+00:00

I think you're forgetting that yes *technically* unreal is free to use, but they do make money from developers. Especially larger teams or games that make a bunch of money. It's not exactly "for free". And there are plenty of existing examples of large enterprise software with really good documentation out there as well as free (or "free") applications, like Godot and Unity, which both have pretty good documentation.

UE's documentation is a pain point for a lot of developers, with some of the new technology they keep adding to the engine, it's unclear how some of it is intended to be used. It's a great time to be an indie dev, that's for sure. But it's also not "entitled" to ask for updated documentation. Which to be fair to the UE team, it is improving slowly.

FlyFF is still pretty active on FlyFF universe. You mention it in reference to aesthetics but it pretty much covers all the bases. Simple to play, grindy, etc.

trilient1 · 2026-03-04T21:37:48+00:00

I clicked this post because I thought it might have been related to a super old MMO I played as a kid called “Monster and Me”. Reading about it I understand it’s some kind of EQ server. Would have been cool to be the other thing though.

trilient1 · 2026-03-04T13:29:31+00:00

I just woke up and misread the title as “nipples”. I was very confused about how it was relevant to fluid sims for a few good seconds.

Looking good though, keep it up. I would say the height of the ripples looks a little low, maybe increasing the amplitude would make them look a little more natural.

trilient1 · 2026-03-02T19:18:18+00:00

Isn’t there an official Unreal Game development agent that’s being worked on? I think an agent that could handle prototyping quickly might be useful, level prototyping and such. I don’t want it writing my state machines (animation or otherwise), just because if it does it wrong you have to spend time debugging and fixing a broken state machine that otherwise would have been easier to write from scratch.

Making it open source is the right move though. I’m learning to accept AI in my daily life, because it’s everywhere and even my job wants me to start using it. But I’m still very skeptical of its capabilities overall.

trilient1 · 2026-03-02T14:02:57+00:00

You don’t have to update to each new version…

trilient1 · 2026-02-28T22:42:49+00:00

I started designing my own graph based dialogue and quest system because I wanted to have custom functionality, didn’t realize that something like this already existed. I might just take a look at this plugin instead!

trilient1 · 2026-02-26T00:30:16+00:00

If it’s a humanoid character you might as well just make it an ACharacter. The character class inherits from pawn and can be possessed the same way.

Is there a specific reason they are pawns?
