Been feeling the itch to get into an mmorpg. Hard to tell if there's any good ones out. Seems some in the works but what is good this currently available?

My context: was huge into EQ2 for a long while. Loved Rift. Played AION. Didn't really get into WOW but played it a tiny bit.

I like crafting and love the idea of building my house and world. One if the things I loved most about rift was building my dimension. I had HOOOOUUURRRS into it with some very cool stuff.

Anyway... what if anything is anyone playing. It feels like that genre is currently in a drought.

For an ex-Wow addict from vanilla through WoD, would you mind eli5 what's the deal with private servers and how the work?

Sorta what they sound like. They're privately owned and hosted by third party people. You have to download their own launcher to play but most are pretty much free.

Check out ascension. It's wow but classless, you have a couple servers, one where you choose from 3 random abilities when you level up and another where you get more leeway in the abilities you chose. It's a really interesting way to play wow.

I thought Blizz went all in to shut down private servers, and that's how Classic was born?
