Online games for rank grinding / exp farming to play while listening to music?

[Soren Arica]

I'm looking for online games to play where you can grind ranks or level ups and play forever without getting bored, maybe a game that isn't too stressful and where you can listen to music on your pc while playing it.

i've been doing that in guild wars 2. it's constant action with no real goals other than moving fighting and exploring.

there is probably some kind of main quest but i've not even found it yet

I don't like guild wars 2 because it's a walking simulator and the gameplay isn't that much fun. It goes from pressing random numbers as a noob to creating a meta build and pressing specific buttons while you have to walk and use your mount so much that it's basically a walking simulator also the story is overrated and boring to play. EverQuest Project 1999 is much better in every way.

oh man I felt this 🙁
I haven't played GW2 but this perfectly describes turn-based JRPGs

Ye. They killed any class identity over time in GW 2. The rotations are much faster than they used to be. And with sooo many particle effects. Every class is melee now. Even my main elementalist (basically a mage) is melee now. Just hug the enemy and faceroll your keyboard. I tried really hard to still enjoy Guild Wars 2 in the latest expansion but I just couldn't. It changed too much. Then I remembered World of Warcraft vanilla. Did that and had a blast.

So speaking of which, WOW vanilla. Give it a try if you haven't. I mainly played by levelling multiple classes on both factions. Levelling is quite easy (difficulty wise) but not brain dead easy like in modern MMOs. Do try the Turtle server. Best one I ever saw. Can play together if you want to.

Not online, but Vampire Survivors feels like that kind of chill game. Just move around and avoid enemies. A LOT of stuff to unlock.

Tetris Effect Connected. It has REALLY good music already put into the game. When you zone out and the tunes play in rhythm with what you are doing it feels awesome. You got endless levelling with XP that doesn't really do anything.

Northern Journey. It has moments of intense fighting. Didn't find them that difficult. But the focus is on exploration and the vibe. Very good in game music as well. Nothing to unlock.

I'd say Path of Exile, but then you said "isn't too stressful", so that's out I guess. D2 from Blizzourd I guess then.

Can't really play right without your ears. Need to listen and know what's going around you.

I have stopped myself playing this game it is very addictive.

If you want something with a little more depth then Port Royale 3.

Trade and build up colonies in the Carribean or just be a small time trader or go into major overdrive and build up war fleets, conquer colonies and beat up pirates.

It is all ship based, you can fight battles or have them automatically done. Some people dislike it but many like it and see it as the best Port Royale there is.

If you really wanted to you could just have one ship and play a simple game or do bit of everything or build a great colonial empire.
