If you want to scratch a similar itch, and have not already, try Guild Wars 2.

It does have microtransactions, but only because they have no subscription fee and they are mostly cosmetic with a few rare exceptions.

It also has no FOMO except cosmetics from certain festivals, which you can also buy in the next year.

It is still the best MMO on the market IMHO, because it values your time and money compared to other games in the genre.

Guild wars 2 has so much variety i would not know where to start. Would just search it on youtube and find the fitting mood i guess.

That people still pay monthly for save games has always been wild for me.

Guild Wars 2 as well. :)

Played the demo last year and instantly bought it now. Very chilled out game so far.

Maybe not so similar but more like Xcom is The last Spell.

Can highly recommend that and it is weird not many people are covering it.

Has any of the rapists or apologists in ubisoft had any repercussions yet?

Then i am not interested in their games anyway.

It started long before. I remember boycotting d3 when the auction house came out and i stopped wow a decade ago because you are paying monthly for a savegame plus microtransactions.

I can buy way better indie games for that price or keep playing guild wars 2 which has no sub.

Please try guild wars 2 with your wife if you have not already. It is brilliant with a partner.
