MMO Fantasy
1) Everquest 2: What sets Everquest 2 apart from most of the other games out there is it has tons of content.

And with the ability to purchase a level 85 character you have the option of skipping all that grinding and getting to the good stuff that much sooner. https://www.everquest2.com/
2) C9: Continent of the Ninth Seal (or C9 for short) is different from the traditional MMO’s as this is an action MMO. What that means is you will have to move, fight and counter attack your foes instead of just clicking on them. http://c9.webzen.com/main
