Illuminaughty

I thought this MMO might be something for your average INTP. It's not the typical fantasy MMO like Warcraft. The Secret World is actually set in the modern day world, the only twist is that every urban legend, myth, spooky story and conspiracy theory is actually true. A monster living in the NY sewers, Illuminaty controlling the underworld, vampires in Transylvania, mummies in Egypt, ancient native american burial grounds, communist dwarfs (wtf) etc...
The entire game is heavily inspired by Lovecraftian horror, so frequent references to his stories can be found all the time (Innsmouth academy, large Cthulhu-like bosses, talismans of the elder gods...).
Story-wise, the game is so far excellent. 90% of the content is free right away, there several extra missions that you can pay a small amount to get, but they are in no way crucial to the story or the game. You also pay no monthly fees (though subscribers have certain benefits) and it's certainly not pay-2-win, as you actually cannot buy any gear for real money that would help you in the game.
You can join 3 factions at the start of the game (Illuminaty, Templars, Dragons) and you can progress with the story solo or with friends. It take around 80-100 hours to beat every mission and the whole story but I am sure it can be done faster.
The end game content is very rich. The game is mostly PvE oriented, but there are many PvP playgrounds for players. There are currently 11 end game dungeons, 3 normal raids and 3 hardcore raids (which almost no one beat until this day) that keep you occupied even after you geared up to the max. There are no levels in the game, the only way to improve your character is earn ability points to get new abilites (525 available) that you can freely combine and grinding gear.
The only downside of the game is the shitty engine. Be ready for constant FPS drops and UI reloading. No amount of graphics power will help you. But IMHO, the story and gameplay makes up for it quite well, so I am willing to put up with it.

I certainly recommend buying the Ultimate edition as that gives you access to most of the extra content for a lot less cash.
