Any solo friendly MMOs?

I'm looking for solo friendly MMOs, because although I like talking with people, I prefer to solo dungeons and the like sometimes. Any recommendations? I'm not looking for anything with too heavy grinding.
I'm also up for doing dungeon runs with Eggcavers as well, but I prefer actives.

Any recommendations?

I haven't played any MMOs in a while. I used to play W101 when I was younger but I out grew that :/ I would love to see other users suggestions if you don't mind me doing so ^^

@newlife When it comes to MMO's there is one I'm particularly addicted to.

Mabinogi while not completely dungeon based has many, many dungeons scattered throughout it's vast world, not to mention special dungeons to do while following a huge story line and field bosses you can come across while exploring outside dungeons.
Aside that, Mabinogi has amazing character customization and class selection making yourself completely unique from everyone else.

If you were looking for something completely dungeon based, I'm not sure how Mabinogi fairs. But I think you'd enjoy it nevertheless. Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for, just couldn't pass an opportunity to share one of my favorite games ^^

W101 was weird... I never played it because of the fee honestly. Yeah sure, go ahead xD Not that I'll stop you.

I play Elsword, but it's more of a social game, where you have to interact with people (sometimes super rude ones) which is why I'm seeking a solo friendly MMO, which is a lot better xD

@kisamari
Is it solo friendly or do you have to group up with people often to clear dungeons or no?

@newlife It's completely solo if you choose to go through it alone ^^

What is the level cap, and how is the grinding, in your opinion? I've done plenty of grind work before, so it's not a big deal, but some games have crazy EXP tables.

How is the community too? Is it bad or is it mostly friendly?

@newlife

It has no cap, I've known people above the 10,000's.

And Mabi is a little special with level grinding, once you get high in level it may be a little hard to keep leveling. So they let players rebirth which sets you back to level one, but keep all your stats so you can keep growing.

For your last question, the community is amazing. I've only played on one of their four servers-Mari-so I can't vouch for the others, but the players I've met are very nice.

@kisamari

Wow, that's kind of scary o-o

Huh, that's interesting. All the MMOs I know make you pay money to rebirth.

FINALLY. An MMO with nice people xD

And curious, is it a "Free to Play" or subscription, and do you think that when you get into a high enough level, you have to pay money for gear and accessories?

@newlife The only thing they make you pay money for, is additional pets after the two they give you in beginner quests, and the ability to create a guild. Mabi also sells gatchapons on their site but the things inside are sold on in-game markets by normal players if you don't feel like cashing out real money for them ^^"

Gear and accessories can be bought from NPC's with gold dropped from enemies or made if you choose to take up sewing or blacksmiths in-game.

There aren't any clauses like "After level 100 pay so much to keep leveling" or things like that. I've come across many games like that and they infuriate me. Mabi is completely free to play.

I downloaded Mabinogi on Steam but it said I needed a Playstation account or something to play it XD
