    Hey guys, currently on my summer holiday from uni and have some time to burn, I've been looking into MMO's particularly action based.

    I have tried TERA and due to the UI bug which drops my frame rate considerably I decided against it.

    Tried RaiderZ which looked GREAT but,has issues with Nvidia Optimus leaving me with crappy textures and poor fps.

    So! If any of you could be so kind as to recommend me a game similar to RaiderZ or TERA OR provide me a fix for RaiderZ that'd be great!

    Cheers guys!

    You could try Dungeon and Dragons Online. It's not fully action-based, it's sort of a hybrid, dice-roll-meets-live-action type game. It's pretty fun. Archer builds especially are pretty mobile and combat is fast and furious. Challenging game as well, you will die a lot if you try to solo it, which leads me to the next point - it's excellent for grouping up. Running a quest with a few other players is a lot of fun and very rewarding. If you have any interest in D&D check it out.

    Oh, and you should have used the thread at the top of this page. :p

    Give Rift or Star Wars The Old Republic a try. Both of those offer a free trial so I would recommend at least giving them a shot.
