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.

Is legends as good as the original? The original was truly a game you had to try out. Loved all the puzzles in that game.

It's the same game, just with a load of QoL improvements, and iirc a few of the expansion chapters come free. Biggest change is combat and targeting... idk if I can explain it well without making it sound like trash, but instead of click-to-target, you have to aim your character at the thing you're fighting, which sounds clunky, but you get used to it in a hurry - it makes combat much more fluid. Also all the currencies from various factions you could acquire in the base game, 90% of which were obsolete, have been consolidated back down a more reasonable number.

I started on TSW back in the day; switched to SWL. If I ever get the itch to dive back in, it will 100% be for SWL.
