Looking for a new mmo to play

Hi, I'm looking for a new mmo to play and I figured I'd ask here and get some feedback.  :)  Here are things that I am looking for

 

- Able to level (at some point ie lv 10, lv 20) almost completely through dungeons and have quick queues as tank or healer

- Has neat dungeon design and are preferrably not "on rails"  (I only know of a few older games that do this - EQ1, EQ2, DAoC, and Vanguard)

- Roles are clearly defined and it's not everybody can do everything 

- Good group finder, I've found the best ones are ones that give rewards for queuing up in "all normals, all experts, all masters" as options ala rift and ffxiv

 

If vanguard was still around, I'd play it *sigh*  loved that game!

 

Games I am considering:

Final Fantasy XIV - I played it already, lv 28 or so on almost every class to keep it even with my wife

World of Warcraft - I don't know enough about it to say whether it matches the above criteria for ease of leveling up in dungeons

Rift - I don't really want to do this one unless I have people I know that play, I already have the original 4 archetypes up to level 60+ and all having dps, heals, and tank specs.

Everquest 2 - I could take a mercenary and go through the dungeons as a muo I suppose?  But I play mmos to play with people!

 

I'd love to hear about other possibilities proposed!

Check out the "One Tamriel" section, it may meet all your needs.  ESO has evolved a lot, end game content and 4-man dungeons require pretty firm roles.

I think you should give wirld of warcraft a try. 

Dungeon leveling is possible, dungeons can be both fun and challenging.   As far as roles are concerned, yes tanks and heals Instaqueue. You are encouraged to play the role and class you want to. 

I think Blizzard still offers a boost to 100 once you buy Legion.

We have a great  group in Wow, ready and willing to share our knowledge of the game with you.

Wow is, i think , a viable option for you.

I agree with Carwyn. I think that World of Warcraft might be what you are looking for. It is completely possible to level up through dungeons to 90 or 100 (Max is 110).  Also, there are many feature that boost your xp like heirloom gear, potions and Refer a Friend.

 

As for Rift, dungeon queues are filled with crickets for the most part at lower levels.

 

Have you ever looked into Aion? There is a Social Adventure for it, but I don't think anyone is active atm. It might be worth a look if you enjoy a bit of PvP mixed in with your PvE.

Ok, GW2 does not fit the bill or what you want :p

Have you tried WildStar?

Thank you folks for the reply - I may drop into rift from time to time, but I've played it so much that I don't want to pick it up again as a main game.  I'll be trying WoW since I haven't played it aside from one or two months back when it launched and I got yanked back to EQ heh.

 

I had tried wildstar kitty, but queue pops even as a healer took a very long time, and I found the UI to be somewhat hard to read - I'm not sure why, but it didn't seem comfortable to read for me, probably there are some UI mods but perhaps not.

Welcome to the WoW [GSCH] Social adventure :)  I think it will fit all of the things you are looking for.

Vanguard was the best.  Game.  Ever.  The creator is working on a new MMO and I look forward to seeing it and beta testing it soon.

As far as leveling, when (if) you purchase the current Legion expansion you will get a free level 100 boost.  Since you are new to the game you may want to try several classes before committing the boost (just my advise).

Either way, you have found a good home and we look forward to helping you get familiar with the game in a fun, stress free environment.
