I am someone who loved early Star Wars Galaxies, Ultima Online and vanilla WoW.
Is there currently any MMO out there for me? Any coming out?
no
no

Yes, it's called clicker games. Click to make numbers bigger, all day every day. No challenge, no thinking, just clicking forever. The natural evolution of the old-school MMORPG.

Tree of Savior, maybe. Depends on if you can gather a group of like-minded friends who play it for fun.

What defines old-school mmos was what was at stake, not grinding. I barely grinded at all in any of the games mentioned.
For example, in SWG Jedi could actually die permanently, so Jedi hunters making their own end-game and fun popped up, creating some truly thrilling encounters.
Modern day wow is, what, 90% token and instance-queue grinding?

Let me guess, there’s a cash shop

In other words, after spending 100 hours mindlessly clicking on stuff, you could be randomly reset and had to start all over again spending another 100 hours mindlessly clicking on stuff. So thrilling.

>Mfw i actually put 100 hours into this game
Its fun for whatever reason and addicting as fuck. Don't have to dump money into it at all either.

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about

feel free to explain the process of becoming a jedi in SWG, and how it totally wasn't just randomly grinding out classes until you hit the jackpot.

This is how retarded you sound.

it was like that for a little while but sadly casuals complained and they changed it

Modern WoW is grindier than ever, because everything is so streamlined and fast-foodified
>Uh oh, I am behind in gear score! I need to go to the Isle of Whateverthefuck to farm faggot tokens so I can grind the latest repetitive instances with interchangeable strangers so I can then grind those same instances with other interchangeable strangers on heroic mode so I can grind End Game Content ™

It involved traveling all around an open world and doing varied things that could lead to dynamic player interaction. Nothing like what I mentioned above
mmos where players can actually affect the world are all dead

>tfw Everquest Next could have saved us
>>342114216
>dynamic player interaction
that's the thing i hate most about current mmos, literally no social aspect
>>342114710
But a social aspect would create inequality between players who want to play it like a single player game which is very bad >:(
