Haven't played any mmo games in awhile, but thinking of getting back into the genre...

World of Warcraft followed closely by FFXIV.

And by WoW I mean Classic, BC, and WoTLK. And small parts of the others.

Check out WoW classic when you have the chance for some old school MMO.

The longest that I have played and where I actually purchased something in game with real money is DC Universe Online (played for 5 months straight) and FFXIV (played for more or less 4 months) then there are lots others that I just got bored after a couple of weeks up to 1 month.

Edit: Is gunbound MMO?

League of Legends. New stuff have been released getting ready for Season 8!

ffxiv a realm reborn for sure

Final Fantasy 14. Deep lore, story driven MMO, very regulary updates with new content, deep crafting system and nice visuals :D I'm addicted to it since more then 2 years now and I don't think it will change soon. There is a free trial, so you can get an idea of it.

FFXIV.

Played Guild Wars 1 and 2 a lot, Blade and Soul (run away from this one) and even tried very shortly WoW.

But my favorite one is FF14. For the same reasons already said above, I spent a very long time on this one and am pretty sad that I currently can't play it.

this new stuff you speak of is jank

Whats Jank? Never heard of it
