Phew, this was a long video and I know I still left out plenty of your favorite MMORPGs.
I look at the current landscape of MMOs and tried to break down some of the best games out there by a few different subgenres.
Because this is such a long video I've broken it up into chapters so you can see what I had to say about your favorite game but I need your help, too! Comment down below on games I may have missed, games you're interested in or playing currently. I know a few key games I left out were Eve Online, SWTOR, and SWG for example but there are many many more. Help me make this video and the comment section a place for MMORPG players to find their next MMO to play.

Gw2 has been my favourite for 5 years now. What I love about it is the customization, the fashion, the end game challenging content, the movement being so smooth thx to mounts and also the community is amazing. it's easy and accessible from start, but gets harder yet more enjoyable throughout your journey of understanding the game. And the best part is, it's getting progressively better and better. Definitely give Guild Wars a chance, if you want perfect balance between solo and group content, plus very neat pvp with the world vs world system. it's also always easy to pick up on the game if you take a break. 9/10

Runescape was a huge part of my life. The one thing I would say is stand out for the game is its quests. It's been almost 2 decades since I last played it, but I still remember details of many of the quests I've done in the game when talking to a friend that's still playing it. I am currently only playing Guild Wars 2 when it comes to MMOs. The combat is what makes me stick by it. I've played almost all the MMOs that was talked about in the video, and while there are games that feel better at first in terms of combat. GW2 follows the same philosophy as Pokemon imo. Very simple gameplay mechanics, but the depth is there for people that look for it. In Pokemon, you can easily just pick a team with high stats, and use moves with high power and sweep through the story. There is however, a lot of depth when it comes to team synergies, and battle strategies when actually fighting against another player. The same goes for Guild Wars. You can easily just use the weapon with the highest numbers in their skills (usually greatsword or scepter), and just treat it like a typical action RPG. If you want more engaging and deeper gameplay, you can think about combo fields and finishers, as well as trait and skill synergies. the team synergy is also extremely good. Unlike most MMOs where team play is basically a trinity system or 4-5 ppl playing a single player game, GW makes it rewarding to think about team composition. Some things that come to mind are things like a trait for Guardians makes it so you gain an extra 25% crit chance when you have the Resolution boon. It is hard for a Guardian focused on DpS to supply that much for themselves, but there are some support classes that can provide you that boon if they change their build for it. Another example would be Chronomancers with the Slow debuff. Similarly, they gain 15% crit chance against slowed enemies. Someone else in your party can trait for slow application to increase your contribution.

EQ2 continues to be my favorite solo MMO experience. Low populations means that grouping isn't great, but you can level up your toon to max 125 and never have to group once. Great quests, good alternative advancement system, hundreds of hours of gameplay. i've played dozens of MMOs, and EQ2 continues to be my absolute favorite. Hints: 1. Get an all access pass, as it's more than worth it. 2. Join a friendly guild with a lot of helpful, established veterans. They love to see new blood, and you will get loads of helpful advice.

I keep coming back to LOTRO and FFXIV. LOTRO's world just puts you in a headspace where you don't need to rush, it's like the retirement stage of an MMO player, and I'm currently completing all of the story books (of which there are tons) at my own pace, taking it like a real adventure. It's an exercise in immersion and you feel yourself getting invested in lots of small tasks and making your own priorities as to what you want from your stay on Middle Earth. In FFXIV I enjoy the social aspect, the world, as well as the MSQ, but I only find my self returning a couple months a year or every two years, and I tend to be an expansion behind in terms of story, taking my time. Ultimately, these two games don't make you feel guilty for playing them casually and I'm happy to give them money when I feel the urge to revisit them as someone in his 30s without the drive to no-life an MMO like I used to when I was in a race to server first raiding guild on WoW.

Very good video. it may be because I'm getting older so perhaps I "lucked out" on the timing, but for FFXIV, ARR felt like worldbuilding (fine, well done, enough that I felt like I couldn't skip story), Heavensward felt fun but a cliche MMO story (tons of fun though, it wasn't bad), Stormblood had a really really good story (post-Stormblood content being a step up to what was coming so much so that there was a boss fight with literal story content going on during it), and Shadowbringers was the pinnacle of MMO storytelling for me. As far as the older bit, as corny as it sounds, I very much remember thinking and being serious when doing so "I better live long enough to see the end of the Hydaelyn saga/Endwalker completion because this is going to feel sad otherwise" and then Endwalker, much like Shadowbringers, did an excellent job of doing callbacks to earlier content and just bringing everything to a satisfying conclusion. Which was one thing I hated about WoW's story and to an extent EQ's (though admittedly, I was late high school/early twenties when playing EQ so I may be downplaying EQ on story), but WoW always felt like we were getting better and better and then we kill the big bad and then we're back to square one: all the stuff we did was fairly meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Comparing that to FFXIV where, sure, there's new stuff with the next expansion, but everything you did felt like it was getting your side into better position to combat the other side. Just beautiful stuff, honestly. Stormblood and on, masterwork. Endwalker was the conclusion of the previous story so I'm kind of hoping the next expansion is just, well, fun maybe. Maybe an expansion without life or death stakes would feel like a nice palate cleanser for whatever comes next. The PvP can be pretty meh though, you are right. I do mildly enjoy the Crystalline Conflict stuff though. But it feels like a very fun mode held back by the skill system a bit (though can kind of tank in it, even as a healer, if everyone is focusing you which is kind of interesting)

An example of toxicity i've had was people thinking i was cheating bcuz of 1shotting squishy ppl on my thief which led to people threatening to DDOS me and make bomb threats, which i reported them for and sent screen shots and Arenanet said they couldnt do anything unless the people went through the actions and actually did it.(pretty shitty service imo) IDK if they go off IP though bcuz my roomate got banned a few times for whispering and swearing at ANET mods before then.

As someone that played most of these games that were mentioned i can say that you nailed most of the info pros/cons and as for rs3/osrs the game has so much content, has so many skills that can literally take you weeks or months to max each as a new player. The playerbase does kind of has this (doing quests is exp waste) mentality and sorry but i am also one of them lol! Dont get me wrong i do a new quest once a blue moon and i dont even got half of them done. Theres just so much to do and on top of that you can get into the market system of it and learn to basically understand its economy and get to meet other people that have unique setups for bosses or even grinding exp. You can literally go and just be free and do whatever you want and reap benefits one way or another but most importantly you get to learn what weapons and combos work best on each NPC and just have tons of fun. I know you didnt mention DCUO or ASE but those 2 are literally dying specially ASE. I played those 2 for years and ASE is getting its official servers shut down but the unofficial/dedicated servers are still fun. Just wouldn't attach myself to it if i were new to it. The new game ASA is coming out as well but im kind of boycotting it so please dont buy hehe. As for DCUO it was great when it had a bigger playerbase but i believe that changed when they "adjusted" the pvp side years ago. They only made it so those who can exploit can easily kill you while you stand no chance as abilities do no pvp dmg on public areas unless youre in a pvp arena. All 3 of those games for sure require you to be social to do end game stuff but playing solo is still very possible! FINAL FANTASY!! That game was just amazing when i played it years ago. I believe i only quit it because my ex girlfriend hacked into it and stole all my stuff in it but if it wasnt for that i would of probably kept on playing! Amazing story and content all around for sure!! Only bad side was the pvp like you said..it just felt empty.. like even if you died or killed lots of the pther team playrrs it never felt like it was a accomplishment. The market in all of the games above were super fun to mess with as well. Im still pretty active on rs3 and ASE until they shut the servers down at the end of September. All ive been doing is giving my tamed dinos to those who never even probably got the chance to tame one or use one in official server so it feels nice to see and hear people 's joy as they ride a maxed out giga or mana or even just going in to kill bosses and then using TEK to mess around and punch t rexs with it 😂

@@Redbeardflynn In general I was thinking about just going through the games and apply the appropriate categories to them, because this way you can really assign several categories to a game that qualifies for more than one instead of having to make the hard choice. In addition to that you could apply tiers to them in their categories and add a section where you quickly go through the categories after briefly introducing each game. You could also use each category to make such a tier list video. The social MMO category is the one I struggled the most with, but maybe because we have different definitions of "social" in mind. You used it for MMOs that require a group in order to do content. I would use it for games that bring people together and encourage social interactions in general and not only for group content. And within this category GW2 is a strong contender (even though it doesn't require deep social interaction for open world stuff) and Palia aims to be in that category as well but has some work to do in order to achieve that (in my opinion). Sadly I failed to get Everquest running, so I can't judge that one. Hot take: The only way WoW encourages social interaction is by having systems that create toxic environments so that you want to avoid that by joining a guild instead.

i totally agree with ur gw2 points. it's a pretty good game and you really don't need to pay money after u buy it, save perhaps for some inventory space to make your life easier or to unlock the living stories, which is a fair trade for not having a sub and are also things u can unlock with in-game money if you grind. my problem with the game was the same as yours, i honestly felt purposeless in it after finishing the story and doing some strikes and fractals and gearing up a few characters. i know there are plenty things to do in the game, i know people that have been playing for many years and still find motivation for things to do in the game but i'm not that type of person and i know many others aren't either, which is why gw2 was never a massive success, which is a shame really cuz many other mmos have stolen a lot from this game, which just shows how much potential the game has. i had the same problem with eso too but that game was much worse in every aspect compared to gw2, i even have that sort of problem with ff14, which is my favorite mmo. i'm not saying these mmos need to hold ur hand all the way through and tell u do this or do that or force u to play and do chores like wow but i do believe there needs to be a balance between freedom and some direction and not forcing people to play but giving them reason to do so if they please.

Gamers just forgot how to find their own way of doing things. Over a long period of time games taught their gamers that they would need a pre-set carrot in front of them, to feel like they were doing something worthwhile, even if the content to get them to the carrot maybe wasn't even any fun... Now that is kind of burnt in to the peoples DNA as a requirement, to not get lost (in the sense of not knowing what to do, to not get bored). Instead of just playing the content they would enjoy, independent of whatever loot there might be involved, they NEED that guidance and what to do next, and what (better) loot next is waiting for them. "giving them reason" you said... the reason should simply be enjoying the content you are playing... and I mean, in the moment, not just once you got the loot. MMO gamers especially lost that "mindset"... If there is no loot or the loot is trash, the way to get there was just the same is the feeling they get. It's unfortunate... There are plenty MMOs which follow that "carrot" system, but I'm glad GW2 is not one of them.

@@metalface_villain I still think that (as you put it well) conditioning is a thing here, but still, I get what you are saying and can't fully disagree. But it gets to be an issue if that "reward that you like" is something which makes you more powerful, instead of just being a minor convenience or different skin... The latter I'd think you'd still find plenty in GW2 with the achievement system today... but the first would result in something soon ending up as an requirement/standard for any group to be equipped with... and once you got that? What's next? The next reward that makes you even stronger than the ones before? I'm not going into the (obvious) issues and chain of events that results in.

On the games I've played the biggest points for me are class choice and tradeskills. Obviously FFXIV hits both those points being able to play all on one character. I love BDO because there are so many classes to choose from not to mention the graphics. ESO is next with class choice and TS, both great. New World imo hit a homerun on TS and the rest is ok. WoW was good when I played and the TS were good, but cannot do all on one character, class choice not so much and quit during SLs. EQ is good with good TS and class choice, havent played in quite a while. Dabbled in Lotro, Albion, and Lost Ark, but not much else, so really cant comment. One more point I'd like to mention is lore. For me WoW is tops since I have been so deeply entrenched in it since the beginning, with EQ second. I am sure I will try others as they come out and maybe come back to old favorites.

correction, i would argue that EQ has 6 class roles - puller, tank, healer, dps, crowd control and damage mitigation. as someone who've play this game for years, without a good puller like a monk, you will not only wipe out your group, but literally cause the entire zone to to evacuate away from the train of mobs. likewise, without a shaman, most healers cannot keep up with the amount of damage the tank takes against a mob that not been slowed by a shaman. that is ultimately the demise of the game, because it is very difficult to gather a person from each of these classes and often players will have characters of multiple classes.

New World developers have no plan, and no idea where they are going. They throw spaghetti at a wall, waiting for something to stick, and if it does they clean the wall removing anything being enjoyed. They said a ten year plan, but at the current rate it will not even be ready for release in 10 years( yes I know it has been technically released). It also has so many bugs, issues, and exploits, that it's real hard to enjoy things it does correctly. They do not play to their strengths, but they have become real good at highlighting the weaknesses. There are no joke multiple bugs and issues in every single territory in the game, and each patch brings more, like missing terrain(not kidding). Pair this with using discord and having """"NO FORUMS""" it's hard to get them to fix anything. It took me a solid six months of complaining and reports, to get them to fix a Faction mission in weavers that was broken for an entire faction after the weavers update. We are talking Crowfall, and Anthem level game development. It's sad because it does have potential, it will just never be realized.

The game I come back to is BDO - it's the easiest to leave and come back to and there is always a new character to try. New World might be worth another try by me - it was ok just not really a reason to stick around. With more PVE it might be better. Archeage is another one that I've been back a couple of times and now that it has a stable publisher I might try again. Archeage 2 is also on the horizon. Another game I dive back into every other year or so is EQ2 -- I have never been able to play EQ1, the controls are weird. EQ2 I dive back into as a new Gnome Monk and level my way up to the point of fighting Giants by kicking their big toes. I usually get a couple of levels past that point and then I'm good for a couple of years. I also dive back into GW2 every couple of years - slowly making my way through each of the races, once I get one levelled I take a long break so it is fresh when I come back. Looking forward to Pax Dei and a few others that are in the works. I don't mind playing in a world with PVP (good thing since BDO is one of my favs) but I prefer PVE. Also you forgot A Tale in the Desert (ATITD)- which is a very small old school non combat MMORPG that takes place in Egypt and wipes everything occasionally and makes everyone restart.

Great video! Thank you! I tried a lot of MMORPG's. But waiting, when somebody will realise game with getting older characters by playtime and possibility to extend lifetime or reincarnation storyline. With loosing of some stats- talents after dying in any circumstances, but not so hard total death like in WOW Hardcore, when after couple weeks of levelling you feeling really dead.😂 The breevity of life, what makes the world to move.😊

I've played pretty much every MMO that's been released (I'm 48 years-old) and I can safely say that The Lord of the Rings online is probably my personal favorite because you are never in a rush and there is a TON of lore friendly content in it. The world is massive and there are always things to do, the pvp is lacking but other than that the game is nearly perfect. I've played World of Warcraft, Everquest 1+2, Star Wars Galaxies/The Old Republic, Star Trek Online, Ultima online, Runescape, Guild Wars 1+2, The Secret World, Ragnarok, ArcheAge, Mabinogi, Runes of Magic, Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Aion, Rift, Anarchy Online, among many others and none of them quite scratched the itch for me. Lord of the Rings online has a beautiful world, a lot to do, great quests, the best MMO community, and a fun profession system that is actually useful.

Ok so for OSRS: good thing 1: Your freedom of choise. There are 23 (maybe soon 24) skills in the game, many of them go hand in hand and feed into other skills, there are usually many different ways to level those skills and you have full freedom to do it in any order you'd like and use any method you like. 2: The way you explore the game. Many areas in the game are locked behind quests, some armours and weapons are locked behind quests or minigames, you can unlock new spellbooks with quests. It doesn't mean you have to do all the quests, but if you want to try out something new, there probably is a quest that will lead you there or make it easier for you. 3. The player driven economy. Not everything can be bought with gold, but most items can, and you will be buying and selling stuff all the time, and the best gear in the game isn't locked behind group content, it's probably alot easier to get it if you have friends who do group content with you, but if you know how to make money you can just go make money and buy the gear you want. Some people even play the game for the sole purpose of roleplaying as a merchant and invest in rare items like in the stock market. The bad thing about the game: The grind. You better have some spare time if you want to play this game, because everything is a grind. This game will eat your time like I eat my tacos.

Biggest issue with OSRS as someone who has played alot of it, is that at the end of the day everyone is the same account, sure u can have PVP acc's but all mid/high pures are still the same etc and pvp is dying. the game lacks diversity but there is alot to do in terms of minibosses etc. not having dedicated healers or tanks and everyone essentially being a DPS with max STR gear etc is just sadly what the game is at endgame.

There is sure alot Id like to comment on here, but I just picked a couple of things. #1 Albion Online: I just loved this game at launch. It was so much fun until the later levels where you were forced to go into pvp zones to progress your crafting skills. In my older age, I have nothing against pvp, it did indeed have its time and place for me. However, I much more prefer consensual pvp now. I would jump back into this game in a heartbeat if they made a pve (or consent pvp) server. #2 Project Gorgon: I played this one for a few months. I have to say its an old school gem of a game. What was fun about this game was the learning curve. You grind and struggle only to find out a week later you could have made it easy by talking to a certain NPC, or doing something simple you never thought of. The player base is pretty friendly and helpful but there is alot of know/learn. If it goes on sale, I highly recommend it. The starter island seems a bit dull, but once you get to the main game, it picks up and opens quite a few possibilities for character advancement.

Albion online as a season game would be pretty damn great aswell, I loved the race and the economy on release and the weeks/months after :)

@nuvynavy999 I think the boting and greedy devs are the big problems because without them, a lot of issues wouldn't be present.

I'm a huge fan of ESO but I never liked the One Tamriel update, nor the removal of hostility from enemy faction guards. I always felt like being able to interact with npcs, and pick up quests in enemy territories, WHILE having to avoid what is basically enemy military was more compelling gameplay than just being able to go anywhere and do anything. Also, I hyped for Necromancy myself, and fyi OSRS has a magic book that is commonly called the necromancy book.

I'm simultaneously surprised and not that SWTOR did not make the list. Like I expected to see it, but also understood why it didn't make the cut. Which is a shame because it's a pretty amazing fully voice acted "choices matter" mmo, but may be going into maintenance mode (allegedly) so meh. I'm glad I saw WoW even though I get the hate some people feel for it lol, it's had it's claws into me for the last 20 years and even though I don't play it nearly as much I also can't imagine my life without it. Blizzard refuses to sign the divorce papers, what can I say. 😂
I tried every popular MMO. It did not go well.
