Guild Wars 2

or you can play a single player rpg and get that w/e your missing. I do it, i don’t expect an mmo to have the same level of story as Skyrim or Dragon Age Inquisition or Witcher 3, i just stop being cheap and buy those games so i don’t complain. Branching story archs…..your lucky this game even has those, most mmos have super linear story line from start to end…..

In all seriousness, vanilla personal story and living world season 1 did not feel personal at all from the start, starting from living world season 2, then HoT expansion, all the way to living world season 3 the story is getter better lorewise and gets more and more personal.

Personal story (“my story” under story journal hero panel) only really goes to killing Zhaitan. Everything beyond that is technically “living world” which is supposed to be less personal. In RP terms 1-80 is when your character is learning and developing, and when the story focuses (or at least should) on your character growth. Once you hit 80 you’re pretty much at the pinnacle of ability for your character’s class (besides elite specs), so it’s less about your character and more about the world itself. Since everyone goes through the same world, from that point there can’t be serious divergence in storytelling or there’s no chance at immersion in what’s supposed to be a “living world”.
