Yes. It's the easiest genre of game on the planet. That's why boomers and casuals play them. You dont even have to move during combat in 9/10 of them.

it's just rotation and cooldowns.
The hardest part is finding a raid group.

Mechanically, they're all pretty accessible, honestly. Everyone's different of course, so some might be more immediately intuitive than others depending upon the individual player and what they're used to, what their UI tastes are, etc. So you can shop around and look at videos and see what they consist of if you're curious, and then try one you think suits you if you like. But the actual act of playing them, beyond that, is usually pretty simplistic.

Socially, and sometimes in terms of what you want out of them in terms of roleplaying, that's more complicated to answer, though.

I stopped playing MMO's when even after trying five or six of them, I discovered that even on RP servers people didn't RP consistently. And when people started just generally being jerks in them.

I was under the naive, mistaken impression that the point of MMO's was to experience a shared fictional world populated by other people rather than NPCs, who would engage with that fictional premise and setting. Virtually nobody I encountered did in my experience though.

Instead, it was all LFG shoutouts, power leveling, farming, metagame strats, high level players crushing newcomers in starting areas, and trolling. Essentially, it was just like the rest of the internet, but with graphics. Unless you play exclusively with a dedicated group of friends, which is what I would recommend personally.

For me though, I'll stick to single player games. Or, if I want a more social gaming experience, co-op, or tabletop RPGs.

It's as good as any other WOW clone. You can get a comparable experience from any of them. Lotro has a nice story though.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The combat in the later levels is very easy and everything around you, including dragons and NPCs, flies into the sky from your scream.

[Dadpool]

Metin 2 should be fairly simple.

I liked that one. It's accessible like all MMOs

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...]

do people hate ff14 anymore since it hasn't been suggested? they have a free thing up to a certain level for new accounts.
i think MMOs get boring, but i played that for a bit when it "re"-released since i grew up on final fantasy

[Grimmz]

i've been playing this lately. its nearly 3 decades old but still holds a small community of players.

its pretty grindy but people in there are extremely friendly and helpful.

the music in this game is absolutely fantastic.
