I don't recommend doing so, unless you want to kill your social life. But have any of you played an MMORPG? MMORPG, stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Where thousands of players play the game at the same time. And they are highly addicting. How about you? Have you ever played an MMORPG?

P.S. I have, and it ruined my social life for years.
 
When I was younger I absolutely no-lifed a lot of mmorpgs, but it was always the free-to-play ones (most of which are never free-to-play friendly though), I never got into anything that was incredibly popular like WoW or Runescape. Sometimes I try to go and revisit old games I've played just to see whats going on but as I've gotten older, I really can't be bothered with that type of gameplay as it really doesn't appeal to me anymore. I don't get how I was able to just sit there for hours doing the same things over and over again.

I've played so many, too many to count, but heres some I can remember that I enjoyed: Trickster, Tales of Pirates, Aura Kingdom, Digimon Masters Online, Elsword, Riders of Icarus, Fiesta, Dragomon, Dragons Nest, Flyff, AdventureQuest, and probably so many more that I can't think of. I didn't play each and every one of them faithfully, but I dabbled in each well enough to hit endgame.

I played Ultima Online, the game that kind of started the MMORPG genre as we know it today, for much of my childhood. It kind of spoiled me for all the others; there aren't any others like it.

I don't have a social life anyway.

To answer the question, yes, I love MMORPGs (more commonly called MMOs these days). Some personal favorites being EVE On-line, Second Life, Matrix On-line, Guild Wars, Auto Assault, among others. This was long before the explosion of "Free to Play" MMOs. Second Life is free, but you get a tonne of perks with a paid account.

Of the ones listed, only Second Life and EVE On-line still exist....

Not really, but I have played a RPGMMO, where I play a game of someone playing a MMO.

To be fair, most of the SAO games of today is that kind of game play.

I've actually just started playing World of Warcraft for the first time in my life! Finally caved in after 20 years. It's pretty good! It's very confusing at times for my little brain but definitely fun playing with friends.

Just be careful not to let it consume your life because it slowly will if you are not careful.
 
Yes and my favorite is the elder scrolls online. It could use more attacks for each character though which is the only downside. But it's still a super fun game.

I've played it before. 🙂 It's cool, but I prefer sci-fi, outer space stuff. I've gotten back into EVE On-line. 😀

Oh, I have heard great things about EVE Online. How do you like it and do you get into spaceship battles too?

It's cool! Very deep and complex. It's $20 a month now, which is a bit steep. But all expansions since the very start have been free. Yes, there is a lot of inter ship combat, both PvP and PvE. I'm mainly a miner/industrialist tho. 🙂

I'm debating on getting a sub next month.....

WOW, I was wondering how long it was going to take someone to increase the $14.99 subscription model. I bet more MMORPGs are going to follow.

Hell, there aren't really many sub based MMOs out there anymore anyway. I can probably count them on 1 hand!!

Got to be honest, I've lost interest a little. Nothing has really grabbed me to want to stay and put hundreds of hours into it.

That's because it takes so much time to put into one of these games to get anything out of it and another reason is there are not many people willing to pay monthly for these types of games.

I hear ya. All the free ones seem to have microtransactions though, but I don't mind them. If I play a "free" on-line game, and I enjoy it, I'll happily buy stuff or get in game currency.

When I played the Elder Scrolls Online it was $14.99 for a sub and they gave you 1,600 crowns which is currency to buy stuff in the in-game store. You can also buy crowns if you want to.

Yup, sounds about right. It's gone free to play, it seems. Unless you want to buy perks/coins.
 
Only free-to-play (STO or SWTOR), or one-time purchases (New World; though Season 5's changes are ... meh). I don't play subscription MMOs.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot more F2P MMOs besides just STO and SWTOR! 🙂
 
I haven't played a lot of MMORPG but I tried Dune Awakening when it was released in 2025. I played it on PC. I hear they are releasing the game for PlayStation and Xbox this year.
 
Yes. I played NexusTK from the time I was 15 until I turned 32; had Wony not completely destroyed that game, I would still be playing, but considering all of the nonsensical changes he made (he is the owner), I will never go back to it.
 
I prefer MMORPGs, which is why I enjoy Palworld. It’s my current favorite game, although I’m taking a break until the 1.0 release or another major update.
 
I have actually played a few like mobile legends or some other ones like towel of fantasy, moon blade and so on, but i don't actually play them for long. Which games did you actually play?
