A Fresh Adventure

I’ve been really craving a good role playing game lately something with a fantasy setting that I can really get into. Usually I play Dota but recently I’ve grown tired of how polished my game plan feels; nothing new ever happens, you know exactly which item’s to buy and there’s no loot. When I feel like something more persistent I generally play Ragnarok Online but because I play in a private server the heightened experience rates mean all you do is look for better places to grind. There’s no use doing any of the quests as quicker rewards can be had by harvesting a high value item (turned regular loot by bloated drop rates), selling it to a non-player character and then going to the marketplace to pick up some donation items. The whole experience feels so stale, all the secrets of the world have been discovered; all the best class builds have been perfected and posted on the forums.

Single player rpg’s tend to have a good amount of depth and storyline but they always seem so lonely, there’s no-one to share your achievement with. What I really want is a fresh world not yet touched by human thought, where you can pick up a looted sword and just put it on and where leveling up is simply a byproduct of participating in a living community full of adventure. Let me know if you’ve found it.
