Maplestory and Ragnarok Online for the games. Both are absolute pain in the a** to grind but it's cute, highly customizable characters, and still a decent amount of players even though the games are 20 years old (I checked and just felt my age).
I heard LaTale (On steam) is similar to MapleStory but I haven't personally tried it.
Elsword is also an option (been years since I played it) but it's quite limited on the customization iirc (maybe that was back then. Idk about now but I heard they have a new Character and gave away a lot of stuff for their 13 year anniv)
Though it's not free... Final Fantasy XIV. Customize-able Grindy and lots of things to do. People in FF14 can even get married and just have a farmer's life if they wanted to
Anyone know similar games and manhwas? I'm so invested
