Another lost level 60

[Treesh]

Actually Horizons did this

The game had some awful features but the crafting and the sense of creating stuff was excellent. The worst aspect of the game was the community. Not that they weren't pleasant people, they were exceedingly pleasant. But 99% of the community were hardcore crafters with no one to sell it to. Pretty much everything I could make after at month or at any time in the future was being dumped on the market for pennies by bored high level people. There was no pvp and high end content was very poor

But helping people make houses was a very interesting aspect. In WoW, I particularly would like to see a player built battleground, so the side with the hard-working crafters has stockades, steam tanks, minefields, and ramparts

GG, Tal, and I all beta'd Horizons. The crafting was great (and that's where GG and I get a lot of our "WoW's crafting system sucks!" attitude from), but you're right about the community, no pvp and I never bothered to get to high end content because I didn't play release. I saw how things were in beta so I didn't buy release. I still wish for a game that has excellent crafting and excellent combat (along with good people), but it's just a dream. Never going to happen anytime soon. There are smaller companies out there trying to not just be a clone of other MMOs, but they just don't have the resources to pull it off. Mourning (used to be known as Realms of Torment) comes to mind on that score. Just not enough resources to put into it and so it comes off as half-assed.

I absolutely loved crafting in Horizons (the houses, buildings, real tailoring!) and I still miss it to this day, but the rest of the game just had too many problems for me to actually buy it.
