No decent MMORPGs left - there's only crap out there

I'm enjoying Neverwinter right now, but I haven't even reached lvl 40 yet, so I might get discouraged once I reach the levels you've described.

I've heard from a lot of people that SWTOR is good, but I haven't been able to try it myself because it's not available for Mac.

When you reach the level I mentioned you'll notice how many different currencies you need to get purple equipment. All of these currencies can be obtained by killing monsters but in order to survive against these monsters you'll have to invest a truck load of money to exchange for the ingame currency and buy another purple equipment. Basically it's a vicious circle from which you can't get out no matter how much money you invest - whatever equipment you buy it's never enough, so you're forced to invest more and more money. Everything in this game is about compulsion on you to keep spending money while getting nothing for it.

We play DDO. It's not really story-driven like others, so if that's wht you're looking for this isn't it. The cool thing is the character customization. There are 14 classes. Each class has 2 or 3 subclasses (enhancement trees), which are mix and match. There are 14 races, and they have meaningful differences. Plus you can multi-class up to 3 classes. So, even when you know all the content, you can play it over and over with very different playstyles. You can solo most quests or join a guild to get into good groups. Pick-up groups are pretty bad from what I hear.

I'm downloading it now. Never played this game before. Cleric's description sounds better than the rest of the classes. In principle my favorite class is the cleric or any healers role. In most games this is the class that progresses faster than the rest and has the highest chances to survive a battle, hopefully it will be the same on DDO as well.

I played a cleric in DDO. It's pretty cool. I would up making him a melee attacker to conserve spellpoints. Unfortunately there aren't very many good ways to regain sp in this game, though enemies don't respawn in most dungeons.
