The Best MMORPGs In 2021

What is MMORPG?

A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a type of video game that allows players to interact with one another in a virtual world. It’s like living inside your favorite video games and TV shows.

Most MMORPGs are based on worlds created by their developers, but some games such as RuneScape allow users to create their own journey themselves. There are often many different servers running parallel to each other for people who want more variety in their gameplay experience.

Best MMORPGs This 2021

RuneScape

One could argue that Runescape is the ultimate game of our time. It’s been around for two decades and counting, it has over 250 million players who have invested a lot into their characters, and yet despite its age nobody can come close to matching what this MMO offers in terms of sheer longevity.

In the game, you can choose your own path. You don’t have to follow a linear story or complete side quests; instead, players are free to explore and experience any aspect of Runescape that interests them most firsthand without it being too hard for those who prefer more traditional approaches. The skills in the game advance through hard work and for some, by buying OSRS gold or RS3 gold, depending on which version you’re playing. 

Black Desert Online

Black Desert Online is the most recent Korean MMO to be released in America and it has been met with much fanfare. Alongside standard leveling, questing, combat systems that are snappy but still enjoyable for those looking for something a little more traditional than say World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2 there are also property management elements where players can buy buildings at varying costs depending on what you want to do with them – from residences (for player housing) to crafting repositories.

The great thing about Black Desert Online is your actions have consequences: if you take control over an entire city then as well as gaining all its benefits, you’ll also need to deal with any problems within it too.

Final Fantasy 14

With the release of its third expansion, Shadowbringers, Final Fantasy XIV has finally found its stride. The newest additions are easily the best out of all three expansions; emphasizing a heartfelt story instead of your typical good versus evil paradigm that we’ve seen in other games before!

The Shadowbringers expansion has given players a lot of new content. In addition to adding the ability to fish, city restoration projects have been added and there are two brand-new raids for adventurers. There’s also an entire host of activities available in Eorzea that you could spend years exploring.

The Elder Scrolls Online

You have seen the other Elder Scrolls games, but now you can explore Tamriel in its entirety with The Elder Scrolls Online. And for even more adventure there is a new Dark Heart of Skryim update that adds dungeons and zones all across the continent to explore as well as an updated vampiric storyline that expands on lore from previous games like never before. 

ESO is a great game for those who would like to enjoy all of the fun aspects of an MMO without committing too much time. With plenty of activities and exploration, ESO will keep you entertained while giving that familiar feel from other Elder Scrolls games.

Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 is an innovative MMO that doesn’t try to beat WoW at its own game. It’s refreshing, and it never feels suffocating! You’ll also enjoy dynamic events which give the weight of your actions – a town you helped might later be attacked by the same ogres who were there before.

When you are playing Guild Wars 2, it is almost like an adventure. The world reacts to your actions and the quests feel more meaningful because they are not just a grind that must be done for something else better to happen down the road.
