Sigh now you have made EVERYTHING you have to say in this video questionable. Sorry but pushing a mobile gotcha game is the fastest way to make your content suspect of being bought and paid for bias on your part. Came here looking for honest, valid, personal reviews of content without having you being paid as an influencer to push certain games. Now I have to realize you're just pushing ads for whoever is the highest bidder.
tequatl from gw2 niiice, forgot to mention funny npcs can be "i think she said something about wanting a duck" for example or "your mom's IQ is so low she thinks elemental is three letters in the alphabet" second one said early in asura start map metrica province. also the toys are fun too let you do stuff like play music or turn into a skritt ^^
Is that Asmongold in RUnscape lol ?
Bro shoved in the ad right as hes about to talk about ff14 wtf
Just knowing that there are other people in the world is enough for me. You are never truly alone and if you want can always party up. I enjoy doing stuff on my own in real life, so this seems natural in an MMO. There's stuff you can get done alone in life, quite alot. But there are things you'll need friends or other people for. That's what I love about MMORPGs.
thanks for the thoughtful answer!
hardcore player kills me.
This is me when playing mmorpg. I don't need friends to play it, I just need the players around me interacting. It's fun.
❤
All my time playing mmo's have been solo , but love to play mmo's cuz it feel like i'm a part of something even if i'm playing solo
One note on ESO. A lot of solo players are mount collectors. ESO makes it near impossible to work toward or even buy a cool mount you see in the game. That is because they have 5 basic mounts. A Wolf, A Cat, A bear, A horse, and A Frog. Each season, or month, or something, these 5 but with a new look become 'available'. I say available, But here's the rub. Say they are doing a fire theme, and you love the fire bear. You have to buy loot boxes, which can rarely drop a mount. But not your choice of the 5. Even if a mount drops, it may be the frog, the horse, you could go broke trying for a specific one. Also, if you're out in the world and see someone on... say an epic frost looking Cat, you have no way to quest toward or buy one. That was in the 3 months ago loot box. Maybe it will will come around next year, when you can have a chance to get a chance to get that particular mount again.
TLDR: see a cool mount, most likely no way to earn or buy it.
This sounds personal
Guild Wars 2 is the BEST! Don't be put off by the fact that it's so old. That just means you have YEARS of content to play through. Plus we have the nicest community and a mega-awesome wiki to help out. Hope to see you there!
Actually Lord of the rings online has a better community. Gw2 is very solid, but the younger demographic is a little bit squelched, tho very helpful.
Lotro should not be missing from this list. It's a good challenging single player experience and one of the best expressions of Lord of the rings. The story content is an excellent playthrough. The biggest downside is the fee to pay system is very capricious. Sometimes it's way too expensive. Sometimes they give away the store for free.
downloading rn !
I 100% agree. The players are older and most I meet are 35-75 years old! Not very many younger people playing but there are some. I even think they are better than FFXIV community, which is great also!
Thats why i like guild wars 2. You can just follow a group around and play without even talking. Same with eso
It's been years that my friends got too busy with real life to get gaming, but I kept at Guild Wars 2 and had tons of fun (and met new people) even alone, getting lost exploring and running after everything randomly. 100% agree that many aspects of the game are very solo-friendly!
Great list with just the right caveats to make it clear what you are getting yourself in for. I play these games almost exclusively solo with the exception of the auto grouping open world encounters. For me, I play solo because I like to absorb the story and lore and play at my own pace, but it is nice to FEEL like you are in a world that is actually alive. I like SEEING other players and knowing they are there sharing the world with me, but I can still do my own thing. I ran a WOW guild with over 200 players (not characters... players) and that eventually became more work than fun and broke me of all desire to play with others. So solo I go and I am very happy for it.
I have played a good bit of SWTOR and I LOVED the story quests (I played mostly when it first came out). That one I can vouch for myself is SUPER solo friendly. It is sad to hear they simplified the content too much, but I still think it is worth a play as you said.
I mainly play my mmo’s solo. Been playing GW2 since launch. Recently I discovered genshin impact. While technically not an mmo but single player, it still feels like an mmo to me (due to size and quests).
I literally was going to comment something very similar. I never expected that I would love Genshin but it has elevated to my main game and it does very much feel like an mmo at times.
Lost Ark made the list and Lord of the Rings Online didn't. Go figure.
It is because some people don't care about playing with others but just their presence. Knowing real people are around without any obligation or judgment of who you really are.
The thing I've not yet seen in other MMO's I've tried is HOW gw2 handles group activities just on the maps, you can join in AND your contribution is counted toward the event itself AND you get your own loot, no sharing and no competing. The map 'meta' are great fun and there are other smaller event chains on most of the other open world maps that you can just join in on, get xp for the event succeeding and everyone can get rewards from kills and open chests. If the event succeeds for you it succeeds for everyone who contributed and the event chain continues if there is one, for everyone on that map. Same with nodes for materials, everyone has their own loot from them so you aren't ever depriving someone if you hit up that rich iron node or whatever. Some of the events are huge, require multiple groups of people co-ordinating across the maps and reward everyone with a bunch of chests to open that they all can open. So you can do "solo" stuff all day but you always feel like you're kind of in a group anyway on any map bc anything you do to progress any of the little events that pop up everywhere is rewarded to you.
warhammer online did that well before it shut down
@@HabitsOftheWolf How was that game? Never looked into it deeply despite having played mmos since 2005.
@@jeremywright9511 I thought it was great. Definately one of my favorites other than WOW. I think it has been rereleased on a private server somewhere and has people playing it.
Ff14 is the same. Except the big open world map metas are few and most group content are instanced
Thank you for explaining WHY people play MMOs solo. Far too many times in game forums and other places, you always have THAT person who rants, "Why play an MMO and not just go play a single player game?!?" I really hate that. You explained WHY in a very articulate manner. I am the type of player who isn't a game hopper, I prefer to play a single game for months or years at a time... something you cannot do with a single player game. However, the downside of your video, you should mention WHICH of these support controllers and which do not. That is the reason I cannot play SWTOR or WOW, because they don't offer controller support. I play on PC but with controller, since I play on the couch, it isn't feasible to play with KB/M.
WoW does indeed now offer controller support. How feasible it is to play with controller limitations is another story though!
You may not want to do this due to costs involved, but I use a lapboard to play WoW on my couch. It’s not quite as convenient as a controller but it works really well for me. You might consider giving it a shot :)
This is definitely something I find value for in MMOs as sometimes I jump on games like this to play on whims and don't want to plan everything out with people on my friends lists. Having the ability to solo and enjoy rich story content in an MMO is something I really appreciate these game makers putting focus into.
I'd like to see a video for "Best MMOs to make new friends in" personally. I feel like its rather easy to find enjoyable solo MMOs, its more difficult to find enjoyable MMOs for multiplayer.
Lost ark would be on that list at the top for me. It arguably should not be on the list in this video, endgame without other ppl to play with feels bad. Once you get past the easy content, you will need to play in a group. Otherwise you will not be able to progress. The endgame content is actually very challenging to progress through for the 1st time on the level of gear requirement and not getting carried buy over geared players. This challenging content and the very harsh gatekeeping in pug lobbies pushes you towards finding other players to play with regularly.
I would recommend Lord of the Rings Online. Its one of the most beautiful mmos out there and often overlooked by people. Absolutely tons of solo content and the most book accurate portrayal of Midde earth of any video game.
Played every game here except New World. For me GW2 & FF14 are tied for best solo experience
GW2 wins for an actual voice on your own character. I found the silenced replies of FFXIV off putting
Thumbs up for helping out us solo players!
love your channel it's always nice to listen to someone talking about the things they enjoy doing in such a detailed manner
You're always lookin gout for us Solo players. We appreciate you a lot!
Thank you for the video. A couple I've never tried (and probably never will), but definitely need to revisit GW2, SWTOR & ESO it's been a couple or so years... For now WoW and New World are in rotation. New World is as you said night and day different than beta and launch. Love the improvements with the recent xpac too!
Gw2 for certain. The others later.
GW2 is extremely active. I just went back after 6 years and was just blown away by all the player activity and new content. ALSO no SUB fee yayy
Please keep in mind that currently ESO PvP feels a bit too homogenized, dominated by a few hybrid builds. Necrom chapter for PvE story is good.
Wish GW2 was on console. Just got a console back after losing everything in my house fire. Don't have the extra money to replace anything else since I'm having to rebuild. Gaming is my escape from reality.
finally a video for me , a solo mmo player who SOMETIMES group up for end game activities and more often for pvp endgame
My wife and I play MMOs "solo" for story line and world exploration. We are both business professionals who still enjoy gaming so we don't have time for guild events or raids. I'm very happy with the trend to focus on solo play and story line. We have played many of the existing MMOs and moved on when the content got boring, grind based or PvP focused. Today, it is hard to justify staying in a boring MMO even if it is F2P. You still feel like you are wasting time if not money.
I've played Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2, and recommend both of them. I mostly play GW2 now because there isn't any subscription. I'm a mostly-solo player, although I'll happily group up for events/raids. I might check out New World. Looks interesting.
Man, I put way to many hrs into E.S. Online. I LOVE soloing because I love to farm and craft. MMOs can be a great escape from a highly stressful day. Usually I just want to collect resources, make stuff and repeat. Good list and thanks for the fun video. Cheers
Lucky Ghost has just explained my lifetime experience in few sentences..and did an amazing job. Quality content as expected! Keep up the good work mate!
Great video, played many mmo’s, started with EverQuest, playing solo is better for me due to the fact that I can play a little or more if I have time . Grouping can be hard at times due to some players having bad attitudes to others , the final fantasy sounds good with their ban nasty players rule, may try it out, thanks for the info
Solo-play feasibility is helping to keep the genre alive at this point, so it's a good thing.
A very good list and also no sugarcoating.
Besides highlighting the different games, you also mention drawbacks of each game.
As a german, i appreciate the honesty and i may actually give one or two of them a try.
Thank you for making this video and best wishes for the future.
Surprised RuneScape 3 didnt make the list as its 5x more solo friendly than OSRS. Also, ive been stuck in New World for months as i cant find a group for a specific expedition. There are no challenging solo pvm encounters.
First off, thanks for being the only creator (I've come across) to share content regarding solo MMOs or PVE players. Some titles can indeed become overwhelming to get on board with. One qn, do I need to understand the plot of Guild Wars 1 in order to play/understand Guild Wars 2? I've heard tons of good things about it.
you can definitely play GW2 without playing GW1! don't sweat it
Loved the vid, Think I will give GW2 a go. Black Desert doesn't have a optional sub, it doesn't have a sub at all, it's just buy, and play, however the cash shop is huge. Thanks for the vid!
A well put and interesting video!, as expected of you:)
I'd love to hear your opinion on PSO2/NGS.
Can we just get a remastered LOTRO
Or an official fix for the UI scaling. I'll take anything at this point.
Lotro should be above several games on this list.
I'm so lonely I created a talking sock to argue with. Love this video!! Your voice/editing is extremely well done !!!🎉
For Lost Ark, it's more like you "miss the opportunity" if you don't daily daily.
Co-op is a sometimes food.
I love people but I see and interact with people constantly at work and in my private life.
Games are “me” time.
But doing a co-op activity with no mike, dancing and emoting to each other and being as good a team player as I can is occasionally very cool too. Nice to have the option.
Its good they are focusing on making the games better for the solo players, there are a lot of good MMO games that are focused on having to play with others where you have to join a guild or be in a group past a certain level. I know its an MMOP and that's the point, but I like to play a game for its content, story and re-playability. There are a lot of people like myself that only really likes to play with close friends and not a bunch of randoms/trolls/children or adults that act like children.
I consider myself a public solo player. Just minding my own business and sometimes this means doing something with other people. But not really the person that joins statics or something. I really like talking to random people and such but I kinda switch games like every week and don't like the pressure of "I have to log on every day" most groups require of you. I can simply peace out for half a year or longer whenever I like. Also in the many many years of playing MMO's I really noticed a change in attitude, just like the rest of societies. For example guilds are often consistent of a core group of friends that knows each other for a long time and that plays games together. And then their are the rest of the grunts that get randomly invited to do the busy work. And as a grunt it's kinda hard to rise up. Like going to club now-a-days is no longer about meeting new people but you see just all these groups with minimal interaction between the groups.
Would like to add to gw2 meta events are compleatly instant grouping so defenatly would say gw2s content is over 90 % soloable i have played it for over 5k hours got over 20 legendary weapons and could prob put in another 3-5 k to get to the point where i feel like im done with the game so if u like fashion for endgame its very good combat is also very fun being a mix beetween tab and action combat so with time i came to enjoy that the difference in dps caluculater came alot more from me improving mechanicly as a player then trying to increace my stats% wich u can do very fast once u reach max level
Dragons dogma online should definitely be on this list. It’s so much fun to run around with your Pawns killing stuff
I bought BDO like 4 years ago and have always really played solo. I joined a clan once but then rarely played. Only issue with BDO is that there are so many systems on systems that if you stop playing for a while or never really got to end game b4 (like me) you get lost when coming back after long hiatus.
Haven't played DFO in what feels like forever. It's been several years that's for sure.
Adventure quest 3d is a good mmo as well for solo…. Has a lot of content story wise the dungeons are fun an all classes are free besides 1 soooo def check it out if you guys have time
"why would you want to play an MMO solo" because it has the elements I very much enjoy in video games except for the communities.
I don't have friends who play MMOs anymore because they've moved onto consoles but the point of MMOs is that you can join other people anyway which is why i like them. You're never truly alone in the game as they make it so accessible to play with others that it makes them so fun to play. Especially Guild Wars 2 with its quest event system where anyone can join in. For now though I rotate with New World, Lotro, SWTOR and Guild Wars 2. Have been trying to get into WOW but have had trouble trying to enjoy story or whatever is going on. Been trying to stick to one mmo to progress further but they all have their niche and setbacks and is hard to choose 😅
If I had to choose I'd stick with SWTOR or LOTRO but SWTOR (Even though I love Star Wars) I feel doesn't have enough end game progression (To stick with one character) to keep you invested and LOTRO (I could be wrong) just doesn't have the large community anymore to do group content... Or at least everyone doing it is at level cap I imagine. Is a reason why I think of getting into WOW as it is massive and still has the massive community and alot of group content and items to collect by doing content and not via a store.
Ive just never been able to get a feel for Black Desert Online. I just can't adjust to the attack skills part with all of the forward+ b and y or the diagonal up right + back twice lol. Its got a huge selection of classes and variants of each. It just feels to me like all the skills are the same on all classes but they are just skinned and animated differently. You are always casting one if several spell or ability types that look completely different depending on class. They are still the same outcomes though.
Lost Ark is really interesting and fun. Like a japanime Diablo ish arpg. The linear story arewas you progress through keep it from being my top played game. I would have loved much more open world with the game. Its still very good as is though.
Played (tried) Black Desert back in 2020, it was a convoluted mess with a horrible "tutorial" if you can call it that, controls sucked, yadda yadda. Then as I googled to learn how to play, it was a convoluted grind-fest with little reward for playing. Reviews said the same thing so we aren't wrong.
I looked at Lost Ark since you mentioned it, same ol' same ol', WAS good ... Review from a guy with over 300 hours: now toxic, P2W, Microtransactions galore. Sad that the MMO genre is a dying breed.
Having just watched the video, I couldn't agree more with the idea that MMOs are becoming more solo-friendly. For years, I've believed that solo play content is a crucial aspect of these games. While I love the immersion of being in a world filled with other players, the freedom to progress on my own terms is something I've always valued. Forcing players into mandatory party situations has often been a frustration for me. It's fantastic to see the industry evolving and recognizing the diverse preferences of players. Here's to more MMOs embracing solo-friendly content!
LUCKY, what's your opinion on star citizen, it technically comes under the mmo criteria. it can be played solo or with friends.
That's tough. I tried to do the most basic quest in the game and it bricked half way through. the ai enemies took 8 seconds to respond to me. Star Citizen is a cool idea, but its so far from being a reliable functioning game that I can't recommend people spend money on it yet. If they ever finish it, its got a lot of really cool ideas
fair play shame it crashed on you, ive been playing star cit for about 2 years the current patch is the most stable one yet , the closest comparison id say is its black desert in space. but hopefully you'll be able to give it another shot in the future.
@@LuckyGhost
That wow UI looked amazing. Assuming they're adons
I'm surprised that LotRO wasn't on this list? The community is amazing, and solo play can be done. The story is pure Tolkien and the regions are breathtaking.
Making content easy in STWOR does not make it bad. All content is adjustable to the difficulty that works for you. Nightmare to Story mode. It is up to you how hard you want the play to be.
I'm almost 20 now and I've never played sny mmo in my life. I wanna start and that's why I'm watching this video. All of em look fun and I wanna get into mmo to see what the hype is about
Its a shame more of these arent availabe on console. As a PS5 player my only options are FF14, ESO, and BDO (PS4 version). Dont get me wrong they are great but I wish I could play GW2 on PS5
FF11 is also solo friendly these days due to the trust system where you can form a party with npc's.
I play ESO and Final Fantasy 14 completely solo I do not like grouping up with people...but love how big the worlds are...I all honesty I hate multiplayer because of the toxic players and grew up when you played games at each others houses but that is just me
The point to me is: I don’t want to be forced to group up. It should be totally optional, in my opinion. If there is dedicated group content - fine! As long as I don’t have to play it (in order to get necessary gear or important story parts). The main story should be completely designed around the solo player, but with benefits, if you group up, but don’t make me miss something important.
People shouldn’t be punished if their friends don’t play video games. I also don’t want to be forced to play all the time (subscription/ guild). I like jumping in my MMOs (ESO & Guild Wars 2) like for one or two months a year, that’s enough for me. Most of the time, I prefer playing different kinds of games.
I could see how Eve can be here, but also not. It can be a good place for solo content, but it also has an amazing world for group content.
I've played almost all of these and ESO is by far my favorite. I didn't not like any of them. I'm over 40 and the "relaxing" solo play of ESO combined with the excellent story makes logging in every day enjoyable without the punishing frustration of accidentally doing a mechanic wrong and getting deleted instantly.
All my friends are on console. PC gaming for me is a solo affair unfortunately. I have a hard time making new friends on games because of my work schedule. tough. id love to play MMOs with others but i barely have enough time to play, so learning the harder content is tough. lol
Unless things have changed drastically in bdo pvp is not mandatory they have 1 server/channel where you can log in and it force flags everyone over a certain level but every other one besides arsha(the pvp one took me a min to remember the name) is pvp optional.
BDO for sure tops this list, although with the right guild it's almost like your never alone 🥰
I started in 2006 in MMOs and the thing is games need to evolve to survive and if that means solo content then so be it. My life has changed my needs for gaming has changed so if rather solo and see others in the world with me. I've had too many bad experiences with grouped content except in FF14 to be honest
Dude you explained the reasoning behind why we play MMORPGs perfectly. I couldn't have explained it better!
awesome! thanks!
I play solo because I don't have ppl irl who play any game I wanna play. I could never raid in D2 because of that and the LFG was garbage
personally i disagree with 2 of the choosen games but i can only talk about 1 becouse i havent play too much of WoW, first Lost Ark is a game that you need to play with people and specially in endgame, to be able to play on endgame without getting gatekeep is esencial to have people to play with, and yeah you can do all the rest alone but for a game that doing raids is one of the most important aspect of the game you need friends or at least people to play with, Lost Ark is not really a game to play alone. (now if you dont mind getting gatekeep and not finishing all the raids you have sure go for it).
Good content. I played most of them some way north of 1000hrs. What kinda amazing is that how good some of them look in your video and how terrible they look in reality. New world has amazing graphics. BDO, somehow manages the same quality and somehow manages to be the most beautiful one even though it is 7-8yrs old now.
ESO on the other hand looks fine here is but is an eyesore. I could not get myself to expansions to know if it got any better but if you do care a bit of graphics, you would not touch it.
I tried GW2 it was amazing.
I love being in a social guild, friends to BS with while you run around doing stuff. But I don't want the on rails feeling of having to do what a group wants to do.
Good video, still don’t know which one I’ll pick 😂
what did you think about "Conan Exiles"?
Woah, I never heard of that banning policy of FFXIV. One of the main reasons to not get back to WOW is because of toxic players. Also the reason I am not actively looking for new MMOs. I definitely need to check out FFXIV then.
Click bait for the Lonely people….😢
With the bumble ad waiting
This video brought to you by onlyfans cuz…we know..we know
Who else playing that genre?
Lonliness is a comodity now
I don't think you understand what click bait is
No way FF14 is solo when you are forced to complete dungeon as part of the main questline. I remember waiting for days probably close to a week before I can get a group to finish that dungeon before I can proceed progressing the rest of the questline. No way it is solo-able. When you are forced to group and there is no other option, then it is not solo friendly.
I have and play them all 😂✌🏻 Definitely enjoy my Solo games LOL 💜🔥
Subbed 👍🏼 EDIT: wut accent is that??
finally some content that i can realate to
I'm going to slightly disagree with ffxiv because of the post ARR content. All the way up to 50 and the end of the base msq you can do dungeons solo or with npcs but after the base msq you get bombarded by 8 player dungeons (which can't be done with npcs) and a forced 24 player dungeon (which also can't be done with npcs) before you can finish ARR.
Oh and you can't just skip this stuff and go to heavensward its mandatory. The biggest problems isn't necessarily forced play with others its an mmo but my god even as a tank I have the longest wait times. Sometimes several hours just to do one boss to continue with the MSQ.
This is the 2nd video of yours that I have watched that you pulled adds over FFIV and had no other comment about it. Any reason why since I have never played it but just curious as to why you have done it.
Not sure I follow?
I don't have time to test or play all of them so I need a particular order! Also anything with a jumping puzzle is vetoed.
they each have strengths and weaknesses. You can try GW2 and FF14 for free if you want risk free trials. if you hate jumping puzzles, GW2 is loaded with em, but they are super optional so I wouldn't say that would ruin the game for ya. the rest don't really contain a significant number of them
Been playing mmos for over 20 years. I've played everything in this video. My suggestion is ESO. It is very solo friendly and has a bonkers amount of content. It's also easy to get into, with having a very limited amount of usable skills.
I find RuneScape 3 even more solofriendly than OSRS tbh, at least if you dont have at least 3 hrs + per day and like extremely grindy games. They both are somewhat grindy, but RuneScape 3 really embraces solo gameplay on another level and you get things done faster (although still not really that fast lol.). Also, you have more content to do in general but the single content pieces itself are faster paced so it could be an interesting consideration for people who dont have multiple hours to play everyday, which I found to be absolutely necessary when playing OSRS. Now in RS3 I make lots of progress while only playing 1-2hrs / day on a regular basis, ofc on days off, it would be way more. That doesnt mean though, that RS3 was a game which is faster completed, there is so much more things to do, so much more content than in OSRS, Id say double the content, so you still always have things to do. Just dont get turned off by Reddit, the OSRS community really throws a lot of (unjustified) hate towards the game. RS3 was in a bad state when OSRS was created, but now, over a decade later, theyre two completely different cames and both are great in their own ways, they just have different target groups.
On BDO you have marni realms for instanced pvp free grinding
Another good MMO, IMO is STO. Otherwise known as Star Trek Online. It's also free to play, with an optional subscription.
Bro put his sponser in to take up half of the FFXIV chapter. Which, unironically, was more enjoyable to watch than going through the MSQ of Final Fantasy.
New worlds takes way to long for lvling and grinding thousands of resources just for a few lvls or stuff like that is a big turn off to. They went way aboard which all the grinding stuff.
Lovely list but i would suggest wow as it very anti solo and casual game and new world is a pvp game so being solo there aint the best
i quit ESO when animation cancelling became the meta a year in. never wanted to go back, totally killed the game for me.
does bdo have group content yet ? for console
very little tbh
Love love love solo :) you shouldnt have to rely on strangers to be able to play a game and get the best gear… however it is nice to team up the way gw2 does it :)
I've played almost all of these, The best, imo, are FFXIV and SWTOR. SWTOR I only really enjoy the quests up to around 50. After that, there isn't really a cohesive story. FFXIV's only weak point imo is that late game gets a bit difficult for me. But I do still have a char that has leveled all the way up and done each and every story quest and job quest needed to the point there will be no more for her until Dawntrail comes out. Many do love ESO and GW2 but I just never could really get into those two. Black Desert is a ton of fun at first as well. Lovely game and great combat but unless you watch EvilDoUsHarm's youtube guides on leveling via quests you end up needing to grind too much. I personally think Black Desert's crafting/trade/gathering system to be the best of all games hands down.
On GW2: "Zone completion is insanely fun"
Hmm... is it though?
WoWs last user survey and Bellular research along with Josh S-H findings shows that 70% of WoW players have never finished a single raid… at any tier level. Almost 50% say they play mostly or exclusively solo.
SWtOR is similar as are many others.
Nothing unusual about solo players in MMOs.
Guild wars 2 mounts are amazing
Best MMOs to play without LuckyGhost in the presence? Background? In front of?
I’ve never played an MMO except to solo it.
The first MMORPG I played was Maple Story. Then this genre became more and more enamored with group combat. I am not interested in dungeons, raids and other group combat scenarios. I can take PVP in small doses because players come and go during the battles. But being stuck with one group to complete progression required group combat is frustrating. Almost becoming a complete negative, if the game requires this, I am not interested.
I play solo because I have no friends, and I've found that most other players online are hackers.
