OSRS
>>
>>731040406
OSRS basically doesn't matter until you get to bossing tier combat which is literally the endgame.

all of the shit you do <90 in a skill might as well be filler content.

guild wars 1 doesn't have any of these qualities except for the tab targeting. we are in the bad timeline where every MMO (including guild wars's sequel) copied WoW. there was a possible good timeline where every MMO copied gw1 but we'll never see it.

OSRS is a sandbox game you can play however you want.

Sure most people want to get to high levels and do high PVM contents but that's not the only way to play the game.

>>731040661
Has the gw2 modern writing sensibilities creeped back into gw1 reforged? I'm thinking of picking the game up.

No, reforged is just HQ textures + some mechanical changes.
>>
>>731040581
Everything up to the point that you're running bosses is filler. Bosses are mostly at 90+ combat stats. An overwhelming majority of shit you grind on is 0 threat to you, and likely makes you 0 money or resources that matter.

This is true for MOST skills, but especially combat.
>>
>>731041308

Most people only bother raising skills because they're pre-reqs for quests.

All gatherables in runesecape remain relevant throughout the game. It's why early levels and f2p worlds are infested with bots kek

at that point might as well join a chat room. The point is OSRS has little to no actual multiplayer content. It doesn't have to be combat but a way to interacted with the game world with other players is a keep component of MMOs. Hell even the Sims Online figured this shit out. Yeah it's a social mmo, but there are tons of activities that can be done in a group which helps stimulate the conversation.

OSRS group content is people just talking to each other while they stand around idling.

Except almost nobody else in that random chat room will also be playing OSRS.
Even if you solely use OSRS's multiplayer features for chatting, you already have the common theme of OSRS.

Sure, which is why everyone uses the same potions for combat, the same food for healing, and the same gear.

Anon, when we grow up we learn that "thing I don't like" and "things everyone ought to hate" are two entirely separate concepts.
>>
>>731044540
the only bummer with dofus/wakfu is the aggressive french nature of how the quests are written. You do a lot of esoteric bullshit for a few levels and then bigass deserts of nothing to do except grind dungeons. Granted, I really love the combat. I really wish the game wasn't build around you basically multi-boxing since coop gameplay is rough.
>>
Does Dungeons and Dragons Online even counts as a MMORPG? It's not very "massively", I think.
Regardless, my favorite game of this kind, with Mabinogi being a close second and peak Archage the third, I think.
Actually, Ultima Online is somewhere in there. Probably tied with Mabinogi.
>>
>>731045464
Mabinogi got New Rise'd and everyone is being pushed into the end game hamster wheel unfortunately. None of the directors have tried to expand the fantasy life aspects of the for a decade so this was natural course of things.

>tfw bought GW2 but still need to finish out it's story
You know, I never understood the "skip story" people even in shit like WoW until I played this.
There's a decent amount of okay / good enough / "whatever" stuff, then a few select spots I'd say are legitimately good like Icebrood saga and the first half of LW4, but then you have to trudge through absolute dog water like LW1-2 the last 1/3 of SotO all of EoD, and a couple others that will suck your soul straight out your arse from the misery.

It really doesn't help that sylvari are an entire race seemingly devised by a room filled exclusively with californian modern women. It's literally just Canach that's decent and he got flanderized pretty hard in EoD and even harder beyond.

It's not the only way to play WoW, FFXIV, Guild Wars or anything else either but for some reason OSRS is the only game afforded this level of dick sucking.

i went back to guild wars 1 and been playing for a month

>>731028890
The problem is the first two are a winning formula, but every MMO that comes out tries something else instead even though everything that does all fails.
>>
MMOs are pretty much dead right now.
WOW is a crock of shit.
XIV is a crock of piss.
GW2 is bland as fuck and stale, too.
All of the old-school ones like Flyff are monetized to pretty much exclusively attract only whales.

It's a dead genre. It's unironically over.
