Elite Dangerous, because it can be as intense or chill as I want, it's a remarkably good space sim, and I can easily opt out of PvP while still affecting the state of the galaxy.

I've wanted to get back into Elite Dangerous but I wasn't even aware that it was an MMO. What am I missing?
I wasn’t even aware that it was an MMO.
The entire galaxy is shared by everyone playing the game, in real time. You can encounter each other, fight, team up, or avoid each other, and your actions influence the state of the shared simulation. Definitely an MMO.
What am I missing?
The most recent thing you probably missed was the thargoid war, culminating in a battle with the titan that parked itself over Earth and took over the Sol system. You might compare it to a fantasy MMO raid, but at a much larger scale.
Colonisation is coming soon.
I've recently gotten into New World: Aeternum. I'm on console so my MMORPG options are limited but I'm really enjoying it. There's dungeons, raids, world bosses, collecting, crafting and more.
FFXIV because I'm trans and I think it's a requirement at that point.
I have almost no time to play much, especially an mmo, but I have been trying Throne & Liberty and was kind of impressed from what I have played so far. Again, I am only at the beginning and barely did much, but from what I have seen, I like the mechanics, and it looks really good. I have no clue if it holds up once you get near end game stuff or if P2W takes over.
2009scape. Because I can self host it.
I'll probably try Project Rubi-ka when they reopen the servers/help them out with some bug hunting, since Anarchy Online, despite its flaws, is still the best MMORPG I've played to date.... which is kinda sad tbh
Re-subbed to WoW for a month, for the huge 20th Anniversary Event. Since I've played so much earlier in the year (another event and expansion launch), I'm not interested in continuing after the sub runs out. There are a few more achievements I'll finish, but otherwise I'm kinda done.
FF14 is the only other MMO I've played, have like 650 hours on Steam, and I think I'm in the middle of the Stormblood campaign. It's been a while since I played it, but some day I'll make it to Endwalker.
Not really into MMORPGs, but I've been trying The Finals and it's pretty cool. Like the destruction of Battlefield mixed with the movement of Apex Legends and maybe a light touch of Rainbow Six: Siege or COD. Definitely worth the $0.
I tried GW2, but I'm just not a fan of the graphics. There are also numerous clipping issues throughout the world. With a game as old as GW2, it worries me that simple vertex issues still exist. I need to see what end-game looks like, though. Maybe it's worth it, idk.
I'm still playing endless Luanti while waiting for Guild Wars 2 to get SteamDeck verified.
Edit: Downvoter can't handle that Luanti is an MMO, now. I can't help that I'm the world's most accomplished self-hoster. (This is sarcasm, humorously implying that I'm hosting the world's biggest Luanti instance, such that it qualifies as "massively multiplayer". Which one might almost believe if they read my post history... I'm pretty active in both the Luanti and self-hosting communities.)
