RIFT
Rifts tear open across the sky at random, spilling elemental invaders into Telara and forcing nearby players to drop what they're doing and fight them...

If Where Winds Meet hooked you through its wuxia combat and setting, start with Sword of Justice — NetEase's other open-world wuxia MMORPG, which went global just a week earlier and runs on the same honest free-to-play principles. Age of Wushu is worth a look for genre history: a smaller-budget but genuinely influential wuxia MMORPG that the "steal your skills" idea traces back to.
If it's the combat feel you're chasing more than the setting, try Naraka: Bladepoint — another NetEase wuxia title with the same grappling hook and parry rhythm, wrapped in a battle royale instead of an MMO — or Wuthering Waves, whose dodge-and-parry action system feels similarly kinetic in a gacha format with no MMO layer at all. Black Desert Online is the pick for players chasing the same density of systems outside combat — crafting, economy, character customization — in a Western fantasy setting instead of an Eastern one.
