Therian Saga Online 1.31

MMORPGs provide players with unparalleled freedom and a lot of options, but they also require a massive time investment. People who recognized this problem has developed a new genre - asynchronous MMOs. While none of them offer as much complexity as a real MMORPG so far, they don't require as much time commitment. One of the major ones is Therian Saga Online.

To install Therian Saga Online, you need to have Steam installed. Once that happens, you'll need to go to this link to install it.

The main thing about this game is that there is a massively steep learning curve. You will almost certainly need a guide to get your feet on the ground. After that, though, there is a pretty awesome gameplay loop. While yes, on paper it sounds boring - you have to craft items, explore the world and go on quests to get resources, the way it's handled is fantastic.

There are a ton of different classes and specializations for your character that ranges from stone cutter to carpenter. Each of these professions can be exploited to acquire wealth. Since this game is asynchronous as well, you can stop playing at any time and let the AI take care of everything. And since this is all asynchronous, you don't need to worry about keeping up with others too hard.

Overall, Therian Saga Online actually has great depth and can keep you playing for a long time. Simply mastering the classes themselves will take you a while, and you could lose yourself for hundreds of hours easily.
