2moons will always be our favorite...I've still got Jade Dynasty loaded in my computer, as well as Requiem Bloodymare (they recently changed the name to Requiem Momento Mori), and Runes Of Magic...Usually I end up quitting a game because of issues with controls (I can't WASD :o)...Rohan's map system sucked, Magicworld's graphics were crap (so was weapon enhancement), but it was a decent game until lvl 60 or so...I guess Jade Dynasty would be the best after 2Moons, but there's a pretty large gap between them...Jade Dynasty's crafting requirements, and non-existant weapon and armor drops (because of the crafting requirements) are totally sucky, other than that, good game...Shaiya is okay, but I got bored after level 40 (which is strange, because I was entering a new map), the monsters were all just too similar, that's all I can think of for the lack of interest.
There are SO many to try...Some are good, some are bad, it really depends on personal preferences.
Google 'Free MMORPG'...Check out each one to see what the game is like before you invest too much time and effort into installing it...See what Characters, Classes and Abilities are offered, and check out the combat control and general movement configurations...We got Brad hooked on 2Moons, but I don't think his system at his house can handle it now...If you wanna check out a free MMORPG, let me know what you're thinking about trying, and I'll give you all the info I can about it...If it's not too bad, I most likely already have a character and can meet you there ;)
Dustin and I are still searching for an MMORPG that's at least AS good as 2Moons...No luck yet, so we don't play very much anymore (at my level, there isn't much left for me to do at 2Moons...I played the higher maps on an accelerated server, so I was pretty much done at 2Moons about a year ago)...Our friends at 2Moons have invited us to many other MMORPGs, which is how we ended up at Jade Dynasty, but we just didn't stick around...Our gamer friends are also on the lookout for a better game.
OH...And for the record...WOW sucks...You aren't missing a thing...I hated the controls AND the crafting...The people who like WOW, absolutely love it, but if you play 2Moons first, WOW just isn't all that great...I think the WOW players just haven't really played much else...OH, we hated Everquest also, and I have friends that are hooked on that game like CRACK...They never played 2Moons either ;)
I'll make you a deal...If you manage to find a GOOD MMORPG, Dustin and I will get new headsets (the baby lost/destroyed both of ours), you get a headset, too, and we'll hook you up with Ventrillo...Then we'll all play...You'll be a true gamer geek :D
Just wanted to add...Shane, Seri and their friends are also LARPers :D...They tried to get Alex to join, but he's just not into it, and if you're going to do it right, you REALLY gotta be 'into it'.
