I can't seem to find games with lively communities anymore. It's like, everything is pay-to-win-to-afk.

Know any games that just feel like there some trace of soul left in it?

I've tried maplestory, but it's impossible at the moment without putting countless days of effort just to make some money, plus it's too expensive to make money faster through nx.

I need a small break from mabi, I log on, I forget why I logged on, and I close the client.

I've finished almost all of my steam games

Vindictus is boring

I have no fucking clue what to do on ragnarok online

Warthunder is full of cheap-asses

Tera was alright to begin with, but I found out the game doesn't really "start" until you've finished the very very linear quest-line at level 60.

Not interested in Startrek online.

Nothing to do in darksouls 2, or darksouls, finsihed most everything in a straightforward fashion.

Guys help.... mee...... pleaaaaase.... I'm sooooo bored.... and it's driving me crazyyy...

What exactly do you mean by "lively" community? And what kind of game do you prefer? RTS? Adventure? Arcade?

You could try Aura Kingdom, although I haven't played it myself, I heard a few good things about it.

could try FF14, but that's sub based.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is fun when playing with friends since chatting in limited.
But classes can be weird like a ranged tank.
If it had better classes it'd be great.

Rift was pretty boring imo

What do you even mean by soul? Please explain. Do you want interesting mechanics or do you want a good story and graphics and just polish. Also, list a genre you are interested in.

Also, you should not judge a game based on its community. Every game you will play will have different types of people in it. There is no such thing as a good community. Its just a bunch of people playing their game. I hate when people comment on a games community, saying that it is good or bad based on there experience. It is different for everyone.

Now that I'm done ranting I'm going to reccomend you some games that are just fun.

Awesomenauts.

Wildstar is on beta weekend free. From what I'm hearing the quests are quite silly and worth checking out. I don't know if worth paying for.

Battleblock theater.

Silly platformer from the creators of Alien hominid and various other fun games.

Fistful of frags

Very fun shooter that was turned into a standalone game from a mod. Its 100 percent free and its super enjoyable. Hard to not recommend because of its freeness.

Everyone and their grandmothers are playing League of Legend, that's where the lively community is, although it's also very toxic and makes you want to murder people.

As for game suggestions... I say play Path of Exile. It's got a lively community, and fun although not really an RPG in the traditional sense.

I also been playing Smite. Although I got my ass kicked in last few games as Ao Kuang, but dammit I am going to make it work (Mostly because I spent all my favors on him).

If you haven't played Dragonnest yet, it's a good game to try. I really like the story and combat is amazing.

Hearthstone if you are into card games. Add me if you are interested, we can playing together.

Kinda late on this thread, but I would have to disagree on Dragon Nest.
I actually went on the NA servers of DN and blazed through the dungeons SOLO, and raised an Archer to a Sniper and to level 54, again solo.
Then I went to the European Private Servers and did the same thing, except I hit the cap this time.
That game has almost no challenge, the combat is pretty much "spam skills and run around until the cooldown finishes, rinse and repeat"

beat'em up games like DN isn't the best game out there.
Instead, I suggest you try out some free games on mobile devices (Smartphone or iOS). Some are very addicting, but if you can maintain a tight wallet (aka, not spend money for those games), you'll definitely get a "refresher" like you would.
The only downside is there is literally no community for you to interact with.

Several people on my friends list said they are leaving Mabi for this when it comes out. http://onigiri.cyberstep.com/

Dunno anything about it, but I'll probably try it when it's released and see if it's ok or not.

Things gets really hard around level 60. But it could be archers have easier time than Force Mage, or you are just not going for the harder difficulty in dungeons.

I played a lot during 60 cap. The dungeons really weren't that challenging at all except for when the suffix 2 dungeons came out, they were kind of hard for a while, but eh. The challenging content in dragon nest, imo, comes from the raids (and some other nests). They are really fun, but the game does have a lacking social environment, which is something pretty necessary to become involved in (good) raids. I never thought dungeons were intended to be challenging content, but were there to start to prepare you for the actual challenging content, and progress you through the game level-wise. I've talked to the OP a few times before, and based on what I've learned during those conversations, dragon nest does not seem to be the game for him.

I kind of give up around 60 because I can't keep up with people in my guild, they are all fine running through harder dungeons and nests, I got killed like 2/3 times during a run. Probably because my equipments are only blue with some orange. Another thing that puts me off is how Nexon refuse to allow me to buy big wings directly, I hate that dragon egg crap. I just want my big angel wings >.<

Yeah, apparently you can blame the non tradeable gach items on maplestory LOL

D3 is prety fun, you can prob find a clan or something if needs be.
Dota2 is pretty fun too.

Havent touched GW2 or Tera in a while but I think they're populated.
Wakfu APAC (free version of Wakfu) is decent if youre into turn based.
