Can anyone recommend a game for a casual player MMORPG style?
I played Skyforge for a few months at beta and just afterwards.
Upside is it's a very pretty game, atmospheric graphics, nice thematic styling with lovely combat animations and wonderful avatars.
Downside is the combat is a bit consoley and can get quite twitch frantic, and the maps do get repetitive, and the difficulty curve can very quickly become a vertical wall if you don't plan your character's stats the right way.
In terms of 'casual' though, the real problem with the game comes if you satrt to take it too seriously and follow through to the end game of becoming a god and all that jazz. Then it becomes a major, major team&guild-based timesink, which is when I stopped playing.
But if you ignore the end game, it makes a nice diversion. If you liked, you could level up to the point where you have access to the open world mission areas and just wander around, looking at all the prettiness, the beaches, the greenery, architecture...
The game is free, so it certainly has that going for it if nothing else
