I just want an mmo to be multiplayer outside of instances

[Toutatis]

I've been playing Eureka the past couple of days and I do get to interact with a lot of people. Bozja was the same but I don't know how populated it is rn...

it depends at what time you go. Evenings and weekends aren’t bad but outside that I found myself doing the ShB relic quests in Bozja alone 90% of the time earlier this year. Had to solo spawn and clear my own Critical Engagements.

Having Critical Engagements that would spawn occasionally in the open world in addition to fates would be nice. Having to go to Bozja isn’t very fun: you’re stuck in an instance, if you want to check your retainers, empty your inventory, help a friend, you have to exit and lose your essences.

Atm open world group content is pretty much limited to fate farming, hunt trains and treasure map runs.
