I might be open to a new MMO at some point. I'm 100% out if it requires grouping for the main storyline, is super grindy, or I have to do corpse runs. I have two jobs and no time for that. I enjoy doing some group stuff, but I don't want to pay for a game where I get nowhere because of my schedule.

I'd also be out if it had some parry system (quicktime events, basically) or souls-like combat in general as it's just not my bag; I'm there for the quests and story more than anything else.

    If you'd like a spreadsheet MMO with no graphics but still have other players who talk, Prosperous Universe has been good

    Does that mean something like Eve Online or an MMO actually done with spreadsheets somehow?

    You never actually see a spaceship, it's just a name and some values in a ledger. The game has financial reports built in. Something like 300 players online at a time, but you interact with their market orders and not their bases/ships.
