    What do you when bored? Suggestions please.

    Firstly this isn’t a complaining post I’m just curious as to what others do when they get bored of playing this game. Could anyone recommend some other MMO’s like this one? I’ve been doing some research and have been trying Black Desert Online, however I don’t think it’s for me. I find this game just so repetitive and although I’ll never give up thanks to the Housing situation I want another MMO to spend my time on and get excited about but I’ll always be a FF fanboy. I’m looking for a MMO that’s more or less PvE with a decent story and one that actually contains a social aspect with a similar combat system. As a casual player I find FFXIV to be a single player game, I play for a few hours a day and barely speak to anyone as I’m just doing roulette’s. Graphically I wouldn’t mind something realistic akin to Black Desert, but nothing less style wise than FFXIV. Alternatively, can anyone suggest something fun things they do in FFXIV; bearing in mind I mainly have a couple of hours a night. Any help would be appreciated. Oh I'm currently waiting for Bless Online to try.

    Most of the time I'm back to FFXIV when there's nothing else. For instance, there's Ni No Kuni 2 and Far Cry 5 that are released tomorrow so I will leave Eorzea for a few weeks I think. Maybe until a few days before 4.3 ?

    I had stopped the game for a few months and it was great to play it again for a month or two, I even leveled a PLD that may become my new main class after years of DRG. Now, well, I'm doing some housing, a few roulettes but well, it's good some new games are coming to refresh everything a little.

    Yeah, BDO's not for me either. As far as MMOs go... it's pretty slim pickings. Depends a lot on the mood I'm in. FPSs aren't normally my thing, but Overwatch has tanks/healers and is non-FPSer friendly enough. Factorio for my basebuilding fix. Sometimes I like being sneaky in Metal Gear. They are Billions is kinda fun but I'm not sure I see the longevity in it. And lately I've had my eye on the PC release of FFXV. But back to MMOs... it's, again, slim pickings. Just not much being made. Traditional RPG style and with the trinity narrows things even further.

    Within FFXIV, you could try some obscure stuff like choco racing or lord of verminion. Try your hand at gathering/crafting (but it'd mostly be singleplayer again). You could try breaking into the raid scene, which at the very least requires socialization with you group... or something like mount farming or PotD floor 200 groups if raiding sounds a bit too intense.

    I guess there's one MMO I can recommend for story. Secret World. It... it's an MMO with a lot of problems, at least last I played. But they're the only ones I think could compete with Square for story. Updates come at a glacial pace though, so once you finish the story, don't expect any more for a long, long time.

    If you're feeling super retro and don't mind putting up with a metric ton of bullsh** just to get it installed and running, and don't mind an extra monthly fee, you can play the older FF MMO -- FFXI. And once you're in, it's still a huge timesink to get stuff done and you need a wiki open constantly. But it's got story. It's FF.

    Thanks for the suggestions. My gathering and crafting are already LVL 70, most of them anyway. I really don't want to turn to WoW but seems the most similar game. I've been looking at ESO as an alternative. Anyone played it before. I just want a bit of excitement back in my MMO. Logging on yo wait 15 mins for a roulette. Rince and repeat a few times a night just isn't exciting lol. I wish FFXI was more with it as ive played years (game time) on that game and abandoned it for XIV.

    When I get bored, I jump onto one of the many other RPGs I have that I haven't finished yet(Tales of Zesteria, Tales of Berseria, Dragon Age Inquisition, FFXII, FFXV, Star Ocean - just to name a few).

    Yes, as Rinuko pointed out Bloodborne download for free if you have PS+. I really love this game and there's an amazing story too, give it a try~

    I'm guessing that's not an MMO? For anyone interested I just found out that Elder Scrolls is having a free to try campaign until 27th March.
