That sounds like the perfect mash up. One of the big draws for Elyon is the focus on big-scale epic battles in terms of letting players not only control mechs and airships directly, but also in huge Realm vs Realm battles as well.
Remember that trading card game with cool fantasy art work that the older kids used to play at lunch while you were stuck with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh? Yeah, this is that same Magic , but now in an online RPG. Turns out, Magic as an IP is actually doing great these days. The verdict is still out on how appealing it will be over the long term, but it has a solid foundation with Dark Souls -style action combat. This is a callback to the classic early s-era of MMOs with a heavy focus on team-based PvE content like dungeons and raids.
This one is a little bit complicated. Guild Wars 2 wants you to have a nie time, and to see its world and story without needing to work thousands of hours for it. It combines multiple settings from the various iterations of Bethesda's singleplayer RPGs, allowing you to explore from Tamriel, to the High Elf realm of Summerset and the Khajit homeland Elsweyr. As if knowing its audience, tThe Elder Scrolls Online also does a fine job of balancing being an MMO and a decent singleplayer experience.
For those who want a solo experience or a massively multiplayer one, there's no judgement here, and if anything, it has increasingly offered more of the former. This is one of the few MMOs where your character development isn't all about making numbers go up, but in the relationships you form with others.
You can befriend and betray, murder or confess your undying love to NPCs who aren't just static quest-givers. Like ESO above, TOR's developers know a lot of people are coming to it from their love of Knights Of The Old Republic, and once you've reached the expansions, you're hit with this episodic structure that's frankly more like a singleplayer game than an MMO.
You're thrown into your own instance and free to make plenty of tough decisions that'll affect your story alone, no one else's. This is easily one of the best Star Wars games out there. Black Desert Online might be one of the nicest looking MMOs out there, with a vast, gorgeous world that puts a lot of others in the genre to shame. It's worth downloading just to play around with its gorgeous characters creator.
You've also got fast-paced combat with an emphasis on aiming, dodging, and blocking in real time, but what really sets Black Desert Online apart, is its focus on building empires and civilisations. You can hire workers, set up production chains, and even set up full-on businesses, like this one centered around brewing beer. Not only is Runescape free-to-play , it's an MMO with a wealth of skills to get stuck into. I'm talking about everything from fishing and farming, to divination and dungeoneering.
There's a huge amount of depth to each class, with money to be made on the marketplace, or by standing in banks and yelling "Iron bars for sale!!! The quest variety is also on point in Runescape, as you won't find the usual barrage of fetch quests, but actual stories with engaging conversations, fights, and puzzles; there's even some longrunning quest lines and penguin conspiracies.
Let's not forget Old School Runescape too, which allows you to experience the version of the game with updates based upon player voting.
EVE Online has earned a name for itself as being a cold, callous universe filled with exploitative players - and that's justified. This is an MMO where war, betrayal and espionage between real players is the norm, with results that are engrossing for those involved and fascinating for everyone else to read about. In the shallows of space, where you start out, you might be surprised by how generous people are. Player-run corporations need new players to join the fray, and strangers are often willing to hand over ships, blueprints and in-game currency to help you get started.
After the enormous failure of Amazon's other game, Crucible, it seems like Amazon still hasn't figured out what the New World should be. What's never changed is the emphasis on massive PVP territory battles with 50 players on each side battling it out to control various forts and settlements scattered around the map.
While I'll never say no to more PVP-focused MMOs, I'm also excited to check out New World's action combat, which actually requires carefully-timed dodges and melee attacks instead of memorizing complex hotkey rotations. But given its numerous delays and constantly changing features, we're a little skeptical. Even so, New World could be a surprise hit and we're eagerly waiting to find out. New World should launch this spring. It's been in development for years, but this space-faring MMO has some cool tech under its belt, especially in how it plans to handle thousands of players in a small area at the same time.
If you've played sandbox survival games like Empyrean or Space Engineers, you'll be fairly familiar with how Dual Universe works. Everything is destructible and how you can design vehicles and spaceships is completely up to you—as long as you have the resources and skills, of course. What's cool, though, is that Dual Universe takes that familiar survival sandbox and drops it into a massive galaxy where entire player alliances can cooperate or fight one another.
You can design ships and then sell blueprints to others, and there's even a LUA-based scripting language so you can create in-game automation for machines like autopilot protocols or advanced security systems that can also be sold to other players. The ambitions behind Dual Universe are sky-high, but if it succeeds it might be the next big evolutionary leap the genre has been waiting for. In the world of MMOs, "theme parks" are that movie you like to put on in the background—the one you've seen a thousand times but still love.
They don't push you into deep waters like most sandbox MMOs do, instead wrapping you up in a comforting and familiar blanket. They are games that, just like their name implies, are all about having fun as you tour from one attraction to the next.
Though they might rely on a time-worn formula, they can still conceal a surprise or two. These are often the most popular MMOs, and they've earned their reputations with every dungeon, every level, and every quest.
No other MMO has had a greater impact on the genre and the entirety of videogames as a whole quite like World of Warcraft. For that reason, putting it anywhere but first on this list just doesn't feel right—even if Final Fantasy 14 is still our best pick for the MMO of it's a tight race, however!
Though it might be getting on in years, World of Warcraft continues to surprise. Shadowlands, its latest expansion, returns to the glory of WoW's early years through a mix of ambitious new systems and one of the best endgames the MMO has ever had.
Whether you love dungeons, raiding, player-versus-player battles, or just exploring a wonderfully charming world, World of Warcraft has you covered. In Shadowlands, there's also unique activites like Torghast, a roguelike dungeon that changes each time you enter it. There's also fun events like Timewalking that let you revisit old expansion dungeons for cool loot, and World Quests that help you accomplish something meaningful even if you only have 20 minutes to play. There's not a lot of negative things to say about Shadowlands, though.
Its story and questing feels tired, but each is such a small fraction of how you'll spend your time in Azeroth that it's hard to get too mad at them. That said, World of Warcraft's endgame is still very diverse and fun—even if it has frustrating flaws. The path to its throne is littered with the bones of would-be usurpers, but World of Warcraft's unparalleled zeal for bringing the world of Azeroth to life is a force to be reckoned with.
Final Fantasy 14's journey has been a long road full of disappointment. Launching in to an overwhelmingly negative response, Square Enix refused to give up and rebuilt the whole game with a new team. The second iteration, A Realm Reborn, has done a better job of rekindling the love fans had for Final Fantasy better than any recent game in the series. It's at once unflinchingly dedicated to following in World of Warcraft's footsteps while also introducing a host of refreshing ideas—the best being the innovative class system.
Gone are the days of needing a new character for each class: Final Fantasy 14 let's you swap between them whenever you please and there's even room to borrow abilities between classes, just like in the classic Final Fantasy Job system.
But Final Fantasy 14 isn't just about combat, either. That was it for our list of old school MMOs that are still worth giving a shot in If you have any questions or suggestions for the list, let us know in the comments!
