Been feeling the itch to get into an mmorpg. Hard to tell if there's any good ones out. Seems some in the works but what is good this currently available?

My context: was huge into EQ2 for a long while. Loved Rift. Played AION. Didn't really get into WOW but played it a tiny bit.

I like crafting and love the idea of building my house and world. One if the things I loved most about rift was building my dimension. I had HOOOOUUURRRS into it with some very cool stuff.

Anyway... what if anything is anyone playing. It feels like that genre is currently in a drought.

Final Fantasy seems the one for you to be honest.

The player base is quite chill and overall enjoy playing casually, doing RP, decorating the house, etc. Crafting is actually interesting instead of just seeing a bar fill up!

I would not recommend ESO as it's very very very choke full of microtransactions and you actually will have a bad experience playing without ESO Plus (restricted space in bags, most content locked).

The same can be said for GW2 really and on top of that, it's way less polished than FF.

Just try FF, I couldn't stomach the classic oriental style cinematic and the quests until lvl 60 can get really frustrating (fetch quests) but overall it has the better potential considering your taste IMHO.
