Perfect Ten: MMOs that deserve another chance (Massively)
5. RIFT
RIFT is one of those titles that seems to keep coming up on my friends' lips whenever they ask, "You know what game I should go back and play?" I concur with these sentiments; RIFT is a really solid game with plenty going for it, not the least of which is a very generous F2P model and the upcoming Nightmare Tide expansion. So head on back, rediscover how cool the mix-and-match soul system can be, and team up with friends for instant adventures. Gah, now I've talked myself into installing it again.
6. Star Wars: The Old Republic
I am rolling in mirth as of late at seeing how SWTOR is -- by all indications -- thriving even long after it was pronounced both "dying" and "dead." It's got a ton of players, a promising future, and a brand-new housing expansion, on top of a really solid game that keeps pulling my friends back in. It's no longer cool to hate it or cool to like it; it merely stands on its own merit. That's a great time to return to an MMO.
9. The Secret World
The Secret World hasn't been growing as fast as some of these other titles, but I can assure you that what it has added is of the highest quality. Rediscover -- or experience for the first time -- an MMO that asks you to use your brain to solve quests, that can genuinely unnerve you, and that can tell you some of the best stories in the business. Plus, it's buy-to-play with a lot of bang for your buck.
I'll second TSW- if you haven't played it, it's worth a try.
