Ever since I permanently quit WoW in 2011, I've been trying consistently to find a new, better MMO to delve into, but thus far, I've been unsuccessful. Despite many attempts to get as invested in a new game I've yet to give up, and I think the reason I've never really settled in to a new MMO like I did in WoW, is because WoW for some reason, also got the social aspects right, at least back when I played it. It's just far more fun to play with friends, and meet new people, something I've failed at repeatedly for the last 4 years.
So If anyone else here is interested in investing in a new MMO with me, perhaps start a guild and build it up, please let me know here, or just discuss MMOs in general.
Currently, I'm considering getting Wildstar, which I Beta tested and really enjoyed, but never bought since I had no friends who would also get it. But now Wildstar is going Free to Play later this year, and I'm hoping that'd be incentive enough to encourage other people to at least try it.
And I'm considering pledging to Crowfall, an upcoming MMO, due for release in late 2016 sadly, but with Alpha testing to commence this summer. It's a very, very interesting game, essentially a Game of Thrones type game, but here you actively take part in massive, world spanning Throne wars. The game itself utilizes Voxel technology, just like Minecraft, except much less blocky. The art style Is closer to EverQuest Next, or even Wildstar, but with fully destructible environments, and physics.

Sure, I'd be willing to give it a try after it goes ftp. I've played WoW, and am currently playing Everquest. I'm seriously considering Everquest Next whenever it comes out. My favourite was City of Heroes, but as you likely know, the servers were shut down two or three years ago. Sadly, the local Walmart is still selling copies of it, and at full price, even after I told the workers there that the game discs are now just colourful paper weights.

I still have a City of Heroes disc set on the shelf. The only game where you're more likely to spend more time in the character creator, than in the actual game. You can check out Crowfall here: crowfall.com/#/If we pledge now, the cheapest bundle is 38 Dollars for the game. It's also Pay once, play forever like Guild Wars 2. Wildstar Is currently 15 Euros for the basic edition, Deluxe version is 30, but of course that's going F2P in a few months.

Let us know how that works out. WoW seems to get steadily more unpopular these days, and I for one can't be bothered to try it again, so I'm quite curios how it handles now. I also remembered; I'm playing a lot of Trove at the moment. It's a voxel based, free to play MMO. It's a lot like Minecraft, they both use voxels, though Trove is less blocky. It has quests, classes, mounts and all the other fancy stuff you expect from MMOs, but it has the Minecraft "build whatever you want" side as well. It's a lot of fun, especially considering It's free. There are mini transactions sure, but It's certainly not pay to win. I'm loving it, and please do let me know if any of you decide to try it. www.trionworlds.com/trove/

Pathfinder online is offering a fifteen-day trial for their beta testing. Click hereI'm downloading it now. Update: if anyone is trying this game and looks for me, my character's name is, of course, Rictras Shard.

Anyone know if WoW is giving free time or something at the moment? A while ago I decided to see if there were any patches that needed to be downloaded, and it let me log in, despite me not having an active account.

None that I'm aware of, but they have been, and are doing pretty big changes to their whole subscription system. If you check your Blizzard account on the main site, you should be able to see if you have any game time remaining.

Trove Officially launched yesterday, and It's still a blast to play. Along with the launch they added a new class that should appeal to the demographic here: The Tomb Raiser. A Necromancer class that's quite fun to play, good for crowd control and decent but very consistent DPS. Along with it came 2 Spider mounts and ghostly undead wings that lets you glide. I love it dearly already. www.trionworlds.com/trove/Still entirely free, quick to install and lots of fun if anyone's interested. MMORPG.com, and Curse.com are also running mount giveaways, so if you're quick, you can grab a couple of awesome free mounts.

Alas, Trove doesn't interest me that much. Perhaps I'll try it sometime in the future. By coincidence, I was checking out Archeage today, and I might give that a try.

WoW currently allows free play with some restrictions up to level 20, and they have gifted 7 days to at least some former players, so for the time being I am playing it again. Anyone who wants to look me up can find me on the Moonguard server. My alliance character is a night elf druid called Eraisuithon, and my horde character is a forsaken warlock called Rictras.
