If you want to scratch a similar itch, and have not already, try Guild Wars 2.

It does have microtransactions, but only because they have no subscription fee and they are mostly cosmetic with a few rare exceptions.

It also has no FOMO except cosmetics from certain festivals, which you can also buy in the next year.

It is still the best MMO on the market IMHO, because it values your time and money compared to other games in the genre.

Guild wars 2 has so much variety i would not know where to start. Would just search it on youtube and find the fitting mood i guess.

Played the demo last year and instantly bought it now. Very chilled out game so far.

Maybe not so similar but more like Xcom is The last Spell.

Can highly recommend that and it is weird not many people are covering it.

Try guild wars 2.

You can play without completly downloading it.

Its f2p and you can explore all together, since every starting map gets unlocked no matter what race you pick at the start.

It is also very easy to learn and you can even outlevel each other if anyone wanna keep playing in private, since you get levelcapped depending what map you are in.

Brilliant game design all around and still one of the best multiplayer games out there IMHO.

Im an idiotic old man who can barely repair my PC anymore and it was very easy to make an account here and on mastodon. Dunno what people are on about.
