I had a super enjoyable time with ARR a few months back so I can 100% recommend it as a great beginner MMO. It does a good job of introducing new concepts and teaching you dungeon mechanics, while also allowing you to just solo quest and enjoy the world at your own pace. It’s really flexible.
Saying that, the story is... bad to non existent and the last 10 hours or so killed any interest in continuing on with the next expansions but I still had an immensely enjoyable, relaxing 100+ hours prior to that which I don’t regret playing. Going into it if you set your expectations that the side quests and exploring is vastly superior to the main story quests I think you’ll have a great time with it.
Saying all this, WoW is still really good with more (and vastly more varied) content and better writing but the onboarding is a bit steeper for absolute beginners imo (though still not hard).
@meestero: I also agree with everything said here.
Edit: wow 2 year old thread? My bad lol.
