Ok, I'm in the market for an MMO and I'm having trouble wading through all of them because this usually isn't my genre. There are a few caveats I have which make finding a game hard:
-No hotkey combat. I can't stand the slow pace of them and the only one of the lot that felt natural at all was Guild Wars 2, which was still clunky sometimes.Â
-Being able to move while casting. Neverwinter and Tera is pretty close to what I want, but playing a mage sucks on account of being rooted while casting.
-It would be awesome if the game had some interesting meta-story. Not really needed, but at least its a nice change from the terrible filler quests.
To date the only MMOs I've really liked are:
Guild Wars 2: The game has pretty much everything I like in an MMO, outside of good solo story stuff. Played this one to death at launch so its gonna be a while before I could boot this up again.
D&D Online: The feel of the dungeons and the number crunching made the game really compelling for me. Played this one to death a couple of times now.
Lord of the Rings Online: The combat majorly sucked in this one, but the world and questlines more then made up for it. Was nice for a one time through, but I could never see myself going back to it.
As of right now the only one I've found that looks good is Dragon's Prophet, and that is in closed beta.
