Mine was AION in its original form, partly because the cryengine made it look very pretty but also because the private servers were actually functional unlike the WoW private servers which were largely a mess at the time.

    I've been playing ff14 recently and am quite enioying it so far. Does it really take that long to progress the main campaign? Cos I'm speeding though it quite quickly with the road to lvl 80 xp boost

        Lvl 22 quest in the campaign so still realm reborn. But I'm grossly overleveled at 38 and have been playing it on and off in rotation with ESO, Aion and WoW so didn't spend much time getting there.

        It's been a lot of fun so far although all the reading does make me miss ESO being fully voice acted. Also the people playing the game seem very chill and friendly.

          If it helps, at and after level 50 there's a lot more voice acting, especially as you enter Heavensward.

      I didnt play the NG+ but apparently they trimmed down ARR quite a bit to make it more palatable to newcomers (especially when grassroot marketing is all about "Heavensward is the greatest story ever in a videogame, btw you need to play 250 hours of the most mind numbingly boring shit before you can access it)

      I almost gave up on it, because I was getting so tired of 'Pray return to the Waking Sands', iykyk

      Also, even tho I'm too socially maladjusted to find a random group of people to grind it, the endgame stuff is pretty great, they make a serious effort to give the gamer quality slop to enjoy
