I'm looking to invest in an MMO of some kind.

Wildstar, SWTOR, Archeage or Rift?

(No ESO, since it's not F2P and I'm broke)

I would not go with WildStar, I tried it and got so lost due to the world being too full of stuff. It is also so casual it made me feel dirty for playing... still scrubbing off what it left on me a three weeks later. ArcheAge is pretty good, but without enough friends the late game isn't much fun. also there is almost no social aspect to either game just party up, raid/fight, repeat.

ESO is only a one time payment though.

There's also a game called Perfect World, it's free, pretty good, makes it's money off one of those player stores.@Asura

I am greatly displeased with the current trends among the Guild in its roleplaying sections. Perhaps I just have at last reached the point of no return, but so many of these topics feel either flimsy from their inception to just their execution. Others seem like mirror images of the same topic - as though a player or viewer just up and left with the idea, modified it slightly, and reproduced it. It might just be today this illusion has fallen on me, but I have not been more frustrated in my search for a long term roleplay to join in some while.

If you are looking for a RP to host I have one that would be long-term, with room for a second story. It is completely fantasy based with a team of Champions much like Gauntlet but with a coming calamity that the gods need prepare the champions for, and could even have its own form of deities to be played. I haven't the time to actually host it, but if you want it I could send you the notes and whatnot.
