I asked chatGPT about new players and MMOs to stick with and it said:

Best One‑Game Investment for New Players
1. Final Fantasy XIV
>Community: Welcoming and patient—new players often helped by “sprouts” becoming tomorrow’s mentors
>Content: Deep story, varied group and casual activities, cross‑platform support with strong expansions
2. World of Warcraft
>Scale: Massive enduring player base and subscription model maintained through regular updates
>Variety: Offers both casual and hardcore PvE/PvP content, plus a thriving Classic and Live split.
3. Old School RuneScape
>Accessibility: Large active population, nostalgic sandbox gameplay, ideal for solo and group play
4. Guild Wars 2 & The Elder Scrolls Online
>GW2 remains stable (#8 in active players), with its free-to-play core and world-oriented design
>ESO provides console support, ongoing expansions, and immersive exploration

Recommended Choice: Final Fantasy XIV

If you want one MMO to last a long time, Final Fantasy XIV is the strongest pick:
>Growing, loyal community and high population (≈340K daily)
>Unmatched blend of narrative, social features, and endgame group content
>Strong support, welcoming atmosphere, and cross‑platform reach

Final Takeaway:

For new players wanting longevity and one stable home, Final Fantasy XIV is the best-rounded option. If you crave maximum active players and flexibility, World of Warcraft is the enduring juggernaut. Want sandbox vibes and nostalgia? Go for Old School RuneScape.
