Suggestion for Alternate Online Game
I've been playing Dragon Nest for some time, and despite playing the game with my friends, the fatigue of playing just one online game is starting to get into me. So I'm considering getting a second online game for a change of pace.
As much as possible this online game has the following: • Looks good and works perfectly even on minimum system requirements - Dragon Nest is surprisingly great even with the absence of a video card. I hope that this game would look just as good even with humble specs. • Interesting but easy to understand gameplay - My standards may have shifted due to how great Dragon Nest is as an action game, but a point-and-click MMO is also fine because I haven't played a point-and-click for a long time. • A community closer to home - As someone from the Philippines, it would be great if this game has a PH server or a SEA server. The choice of regions is not only due to the cultures involved, but also to make connection to the game server a much easier task. • Non-browser platform - My browser's really slow when it comes to stuff like browser games, and loading the game files on every time I play is a PITA. The games that I had played in the past were the following: Tantra, Dekaron, ROSE Online, FlyFF, Perfect World, Grand Chase, O2Jam, RAN Online, Cabal Online and Special Force. I'm also playing Ragnarok Online, but the game publisher is not doing a great job in handling this ten-year-old MMO.

World of Tanks would have been great — relatively small client size at 5GB and a SEA server, but then I discovered that this game is not something to play as a "change of pace" to Dragon Nest. Worse, it may actually worsen my mood as I have a bad experience with PVP and any game with a competitive tempo.

Upon further research, though, the game's English version (and I think even the original Japanese version) currently has very few players, and the former became pay-to-play, which I assume was the reason why the English version had less than 100 players in one day according to a Cosmic Break player in a YouTube review of the game. The graphics are certainly nothing to write home about, and with a really small client size (at 1.2 GB makes it even smaller than Ragnarok Online Renewal), I may try this out... although I doubt I'd last.
Any other suggestions?

I used to know a lot of MMOs, but since I can't really play any I just forgot most of them.
This is how I found them all, though.

Oh god, that's a godsend! Thanks for the link.
EDIT: Age of Wushu is slowly wooing me into downloading the 7 or so gig client. Imma go for Avatar Star instead.
