drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:33 AM

#

ff14 is closest u can get if u can bare like 200h of story

#

depends what parts of wow u look for also

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:34 AM

#

actually havent played WoW in over 10 years and looks like i missed alot

#

even watching all the exp on the shop looks new to me

#

im very confused xD

#

is wotlk back?

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

wow is splitted to hardcore retail and vanilla

#

vanilla is at wotlk now

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

back then i used to play alot wotlk and pandaria

#

is it worth going back now?

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

dunno, wow is never worth to come back imo

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

If you want to experience Wotlk again, sure, but do be aware that there’s some monetization differences compared to back then

wdym?

#

im sorry for asking so much havent play any mmorpg games for years

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

You can buy mounts (that I believe weren’t buyable before? But don’t quote me), character boosts, and now there is the WoW Token, which ruined it for me imo

#

Also you’re fine I ask a lotta questions too

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

you mean they added cosmetic shit which you can buy with money like eos does

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

Well, boosts and WoW tokens arent necessarily cosmetic

#

But mounts? Sure I guess

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

boosts = max lvl for money, token = gold for money

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

oops sorry i missread boots xD

#

im also thinking about ff14

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

A lot of WoW refugees flee to FF14

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

be ready to watch cutscenes and talk to npcs for 200h

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

does it have a necessary sub?

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

yes like wow

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

Yeah it’s a monthly sub

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

sub + expansions

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

Also you can just buy a story skip if it bothers you that much

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

i dont get why you have to pay to get the game and then pay more to play it

#

Pepejuicesad

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

Well, I’m 14’s defense, you don’t have to pay anything other than the sub

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

i mean not skipping story is utter pain

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

The only thing at the store are cosmetics and boosts which don’t vastly benefit the player like it does in WoW

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

I’ve never skipped 14’s story and eh I don’t think it’s that bad

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

im sorry but english is not my primary lang

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

You’re all good!

#

Oh right yes you do have to buy the game first, then sub to it, but aside from that there’s no real monetizations aside from cosmetics and boosts

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

yes thats whats funny to me

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

Wdym?

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

and makes me rethink of getting it

#

that i have to buy it AND pay monthly sub

#

in oreder to play

#

order*

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

wow was same for years

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

Well if you dislike that then unfortunately FF14 might not be for you because it’s a similar one to WoW, which I believe you wanted to avoid

#

Aside from FF14, I’ve heard some praise about Lotro from WoW fans, but it might be more niche

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

this one?

leaden slate Dec 30, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

its very outdated tho

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

look ill try to help you a bit

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

Yeah, but idk if that matters much to Mimic

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

a loved eos class system combat and everything just played to much that eventually got bored of it

#

i dont my mind recommended games like it despite f2p or not

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

Oh yeah, have you ever tried GW2? Don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s very recommended a lot

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

damn it looks nice i think ill give it a try

#

do you recommend buying any of those?

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

Buying the expansions? I haven’t yet, but I’ve heard vanilla has a bunch of content already

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

fluid owl Dec 30, 2023, 10:51 AM

#

The base game doesn’t require any money nor is there a sub iirc

drifting basin Dec 30, 2023, 10:51 AM

#

aight thanks alot for your time i appreciate that ill give gw2 a try
