Looking for a non-woke fantasy MMORPG

As I've mentioned before, I've played WoW since day 1, but War Within is getting to be too much. I don't mind pretty much every NPC romance since SL being gay. Retconning Chromie to be a tranny because her creator didn't understand dragon naming conventions is lame, but whatever, dragons can do what ever they want with their aspects. I ignored the horrible Pelagos storyline because we finally got to almost kill Sylvanas, woohoo.

But the nonbinary knolls in DF started to skeeve me out. I just can not with the furries ruining Worgen, Vulpera, and Dracthyr (which sucks because those are actually cool races, but the furry association is nasty).

In WW, most of the Earthen NPCs are they/ thems, and beards on women is just gross. The quest to open the Tranquil Strand flight path has the NPCs whining about being colonialists. The Goblin stuff was fun until they turned into commies. I just got around to starting the new Arathi quest line, which starts with the NPCs whining about being human supremacists. [Edit: I main Alliance, so this is based on the Alliance version of the quest line.] We then have to help the disabled black girl (who is going to marry Anduin or I'll eat my '23 baseball Natty shirt) figure her shite out.

I just want to play and have fun with other people with a common goal of killing big bosses and making my characters look cool and pretty. That's it. I don't need to play a game that hamfistedly tells me I'm weird for being normal or that I should feel bad about allegorical historical events I had no hand in.

Any recommendations? I like the social aspect, so I'm not looking for single player games. I'm already familiar with FFXIV, which is even worse with the furry shite. LotR is kinda dead, unless I just don't know what servers are good. Anyone know of any fantasy MMORPGs for normal people that has flown beneath my radar?

Yes, this is indeed stupid af. I'm about to give up and just go play with my brother and nephews on their Minecraft server.

RuneScape or Ultima maybe?

I wouldn’t equate the anthropomorphic creatures to FF “furries” though. Hell I’d love a chocobo…

I waved the flag on wow too. The politics they push are one thing, but the game objectively is just not good anymore. I didn't even raid this expansion. Played since BC but I'm out. Ashes of creation looks promising but I haven't played yet.

It's hard to escape the push to LGBTQ+ANUS69 MMOs, especially in June. If you really enjoy the WoW world, you might want to look into an emulator server where the owners tone that stuff down. I've been playing EQ: The Hero's Journey for a month or two now and there's no push of that stuff by the server owners (the last specialized event they did was for Easter, dropping Easter Eggs as random loot and opening them gave you a chance at a special Easter loot table).

Elder Scrolls Online seemed totally devoid of it, I played up until about six months ago.

Conservatives and father figures have told kids for 30 years to not get degree's in writing, or art, or design, so they didn't.

Now all the writers are trans and white hippie women. So this is the nonsense you get, and will continue to get, basically forever.

And for 200 years that being a teacher is womans work.

Sort of self inflicted, sadly

MMORPGs are... kind of a dying breed.

Also, define "non-woke"?

LOTRO
ESO
Black Desert Online
Guild Wars 2


I don't recall any of these being "woke" - now, if you consider bi romance options "woke" then you're probably out of luck (though I do not recall many MMOs having romance, aside from Star Wars: The Old Republic); these days developers just find it easier to to let everyone romance everyone. That's what they did in Skyrim - the only relevant flags are:
1. Did NPC's quest/quest chain
2. Wear specific item

This is good advice. No one needs any of these degrees. Not even the people with jobs in these fields.

This is more related to the reality that an accusation from a female (or male) student will ruin your life, even if the accusation is false. The woke "believe all women" nonsense started in school systems a long time ago, even taking out a beloved science teacher from my own high school in the late 1990s even though everyone knew he was innocent. The school system will settle out of court EVERY SINGLE TIME, and your name will be ruined.

It's great advice, but when all the writers for tv and game are trannys because they are the only ones who didn't listen, this is what we get. Woke nonsense :(

GW2 was good back in the day
LOTRO was also good

EQ was the best MMO I ever played, but have been out of the game for a long time.

Asherons Call 2 was and is still my GOAT. I had so much fun in that game. Life pulled me away from it and then it officially ended. Sad day.

I really wish LOTRO would get an entire graphics overhaul. The amount of content is absolutely massive.

I just cant play it with how dated it looks

I quit DF sometime before the second raid tier was released. Glad I am missing out on this extra woke crap.
