Today, such a genre of computer games as MMORPG is not going through the best of times - the fact is that quality and interesting projects are coming out less and less in this segment. However, there are games released a long time ago and found loyal fans. It cannot be denied that periodically developers delight gamers with multi-user projects. We have prepared for you the top MMORPGs that deserve attention!
What is MMORPG?
This abbreviation stands for "massively multiplayer online role-playing game." This genre allows the player to try on the role of a character who usually belongs to the world of science fiction or fantasy. The main feature of this genre can be called a large number of players, the game world that exists on an ongoing basis - regardless of the players leaving it.
Why are these games so attractive to gamers? Firstly, freedom of action, the possibility of joint games. It is also important that these projects are distinguished by colorful worlds, good graphics and high-quality music.
World of warcraft
Speaking of the most popular MMORPGs, it is worth starting with this game. Despite the fact that she is quite old, she still remains one of the best. Blizzard created a real masterpiece, which today is the legislator for other projects of this genre. In the entire history of the existence of WOW, developers presented to gamers 6 large-scale additions. The last one was released in 2016. Despite the fact that the graphics and plot of World of Warcraft: Legion remained at the level of past games, players assure: this pays off with other characteristics of the game.
What is Warcraft? This is an incredibly fascinating fantasy world, where in real time online real players fight not only against each other, but also against monsters. There are four modes available to the gamer: Normal, Role-playing game, Player against player, Player in role against player. Gamers can choose locations and perform various quests, their choice usually depends on the chosen fraction. Why has this game gained popularity among players? The answer is simple: World of Warcraft is not particularly complex, in addition, it has undergone few global changes since its first release.
Blade and soul
Among the most popular MMORPGs is Blade and Soul. The main feature of other projects of the genre is the quick-go mode, which allows gamers to run along walls and even the air, make dizzying jumps. Another characteristic feature is the non-target-style combat system, which is popular with gamers. This system significantly complicates the gameplay: gamers will have to use dodges and tricks that will help to defeat the enemy.
Fans of the game Blade and Soul note that it can not boast of stunning graphics or clear detail. Sound accompaniment, of course, pleases, but not impressive. What is really good about this game is the development team that regularly comes up with something new. Both small and large updates are regularly released.
Lineage
A special place in our top MMORPG is Lineage. Not only fans of this genre, but all gamers in general, have probably heard about this game. The fact that the Line is completely ordinary, other games can not offer players - no one was able to create a second such universe and surpass the truly cult game.
In the reviews of this unique project, gamers note: the world is thought out to the smallest detail, players will find a large number of quests, an unsurpassed combat system, craft, siege of castles and much more. Of course, this may seem boring, because all of this is already familiar to those who love interesting MMORPGs, but it should be noted that it was Lineage that had a huge impact on the development of other online games of this genre. That is, everything that you now meet in multiplayer online role-playing games, once appeared in the "Line".
Black desert
Speaking of the best MMORPGs on PC, Black Desert cannot be mentioned. The first thing that catches the eye of the player who launched this game is the creation of the character: worked out extremely detailed and thoroughly. Everything else is a little more familiar: pumping a character, exciting quests, killing mobs. By the way, pumping is the hallmark of this game: it is balanced, the player will not have to complete any meaningless quests, receiving little experience and a reward for them. Gamers say: the uniqueness of Black Desert lies in the fact that the developers were able to find a middle ground between quests, for which, by the way, give a good reward, and killing mobs. High results can be achieved without routine and fatigue.
They say about this interesting MMORPG, it should be noted that all PvP lovers will have to reach level 50, after which they will have the opportunity to admire the beauties of the game world. At the height, by the way, and the combat system of the game. Gamers are pleased with the excellent animation, special effects and a series of tricks. The level of all this is so high that it is hard to believe that you are not playing Free to Play. It is worth noting that donations do not particularly affect the gameplay, they do not allow fans to invest any significant advantages in the game. As in other interesting MMORPGs, here players can pump weapons and gear, in addition, there are pets in the game.
TES Online
Fans of the "Ancient Scrolls" note: this relatively new MMORPG game deserves attention, because it combines RPG and full-scale wall-to-wall battles. In addition, gamers do not have to worry about donat: it is enough to pay for a subscription and get equal opportunities with other players. Some, however, criticize the game for retreating from the series. However, this can hardly be called a minus, because this is not the sixth part of The Elder Scrolls, but TES Online. A unique game makes the combination of PvE and PvP, a huge territory available for conquering, an infinite number of non-linear quests. In addition, gamers talk about not the most familiar battle system, and note that the game, although well done, was not without bugs. In addition, some opportunities are opened only with a certain level, and even in the game there is no change of day.
Perfect world
Despite the fact that this game was released in 2005, and reached Russia in 2008, it still has not lost its popularity. Even then, it compares favorably with its competitors with high-quality graphics and a surprisingly large open world, which you could fly on in all kinds of vehicles. Of course, at that time there was already World of Warcraft, however, in order to subscribe to it, funds were required. Perfect World, in turn, is an ideal world, free and amazingly beautiful. The game today also boasts a character editor: frankly, when it first appeared, it was the best in customizing characters. What are gamers paying attention to today? On the target system, colorful skills and a pretty nice musical accompaniment that sends the player to Chinese mythology.
Revelation
Among the most interesting MMORPGs and Revelation. NetEase has been working on this project for 5 years! The game turned out to be good, it is somewhat reminiscent of World of Warcraft. The first thing that players pay attention to is absolute freedom: the territory in this game is divided not into levels, but into zones, each has its own metric and change of weather - all in real time.
The fans of the PvP mode, the project will undoubtedly be pleased with the presence of 12 different options for interactive conflict between users: these are both standard 1x1 arenas and mass sieges designed for a thousand people. Fans of the “player against the environment” mode will also have something to do, they will find both fairly simple dungeons and hardcore dungeons that can accommodate about 20 users. This fact is noteworthy that in Revelation the gamer has the opportunity to choose control: there are click-to-move and non target modes. The player can switch them directly during the game.
Aion
Speaking of free MMORPG games, the project implemented by Innova should be noted. Initially, this game was distributed by subscription, but its best times have passed, because now you can play it completely for free, however, with a number of restrictions. The second part of the Ruler formed the basis of the project graphics. There are a lot of polygons here, the picture looks as realistic as possible. Gamers note: in this game you can not only jump, but also fly. The plot of Aion begins with the fact that the ancient god creates Atreus - a unique world that, for some reason, split into two halves. Play will be for representatives of two races - the Elyos and Asmodians. The former are supporters of good, and therefore have retained their beauty, their wings have not lost their whiteness. In turn, the Asmodians underwent a series of metamorphoses: for example, their claws appeared, and their wings acquired a black tint. The developers have prepared 11 classes for gamers, so that everyone can find something interesting for themselves. Classes are fairly standard: arrows, wizards, gladiators and others. Perhaps only the pilot stands out from their background. The combat system in this project is targeted, but this does not prevent it from being one of the best MMORPGs on PC.
Archeage
Among the best online client games MMORPG and ArcheAge. How is she good? Great graphics, intricate storyline. As in other games of the genre, you can take part in single battles, or you can arrange a large-scale team battle. It is also interesting that in the game there is the possibility of shipbuilding: gamers can build their own ships and even engage in piracy. By the way, fighting here is completely optional, you can just go in for farming. Perhaps it is the presence of a huge number of specializations that can be combined that makes the game an amazing adventure. Among the merits and the judicial system: the players themselves can decide what punishment the offender deserves. The only drawback of ArcheAge is craft: if you want to create really good things, you will need a huge amount of rare resources.
Tera
In the review of the best MMORPGs, one cannot fail to mention the Tera game, which Russian gamers saw relatively recently, but have already awarded it the cult title. The most amazing part of this game can be called its graphics: at first glance, players are fascinated by the drawing of characters and their costumes, buildings and landscapes. The plot is also very good: it is intricate and extraordinary. Players can choose from characters of seven races and 13 classes. An unusual move is the presence of pets. They have many functions: some of them can collect gear, some expand the backpack. In order that they do not become fat, they must be fed. Speaking about the shortcomings of this game, it should be noted that after you reach the maximum level, the action will be significantly reduced. Many gamers complain that after that, to do absolutely nothing in the game. Of course, this is not entirely true, you will find a number of special quests, which, however, are more likely to be an auxiliary means of promotion.
Icarus
Looking for an interesting MMORPG in Russian? Pay attention to the game Icarus. Like any other RPG, it begins with the choice of a character class, there are five of them, there are no unusual characters. However, the game has a feature that distinguishes it from other MMORPGs - the player can tame absolutely any animal, even a real dragon! Of course, this is not so simple, but it allows you to conquer the airspace. It should be noted that along with the leveling of the character, the pet is also pumped - he has new equipment and new skills. Icarus is also different in that it has some similarities with a genre such as strategy. Players must develop new territories and build cities.
Drakensang online
If you need a browser-based MMORPG game, turn your attention to Drakensang Online. This project is just perfect for those who love full-fledged client online games that are suitable for a weak computer. Drakensang Online is a browser that successfully disguises itself as an online client RPG. An exciting epic storyline? Receive and sign! Flawless graphics? Done! In addition, the game is in a magnificent wrapper of special effects and, of course, pathos. It’s not even worth talking about the dynamic pumping and the diversity of players' capabilities - of course, all this is here. In short, Drakensang Online is a game that is almost as good as iconic games like Lineage and World of Warcraft!
Wild terra
Another great browser-based MMORPG game is distinguished by the fact that here an incredible amount of opportunities opens up for players: these are battles and hunting, construction and cultivation of plants and animals. All this is designed in the style of survival genre games, which means that if you have not been able to prepare for such troubles as hunger, cold or uninvited guests, you should expect troubles. Among the advantages of the game is the fact that there are no non-player characters, the so-called inconsistencies. All game interactions occur exclusively between living people. It is gamers who determine how game events will develop. In general, the Wild Terra project can be safely called a great browser sandbox with lots of features!
Peria chronicles
We should talk about the most anticipated MMORPG - Peria Chronicles. The Americans revive the comics in their games, and the Asians decided to turn the manga into a game! There is a lot of talk about this project, a project designed in a drawn style was announced a few years ago, but years go by, and nothing is still known about the timing of the release of the game. Although sites are changing, new trailers are coming out ... What is Peria Chronicles? Is it worth it to wait? Commercials demonstrated to gamers the so-called terraforming mechanics of all gaming locations, that is, players will be able to independently change not only the landscape, but also the settlements. It should be noted that farmers, builders, traders and other characters will automatically be pulled up to the places of settlements. It was announced the presence of two races, so it is likely that the players expect a military showdown. Unfortunately, at the current stage nothing more is known about the game.
