MMORPGs are one of those game types that you can't just play for a few days. Many people play MMORPGs for months or even years, performing tasks and leveling up their characters. As a rule, for such a game to entice a player in the long run, developers must put in a lot of effort and pay close attention to both the gameplay and the design of locales.

MMORPG games have long been one of the gaming industry's foundations, with many intriguing projects to discuss today. Check out these five games that are among the greatest examples of the MMORPG genre.

#1. World of Warcraft

Even non-gamers have heard of the famous Warcraft, which says a lot. The game has just awesome networking, as well as numerous unique races, settings, and missions with history. In the realm of Warcraft, you may become anyone: a magician, a warrior, a healer, and more. Don't forget about the variety of races available, from which everyone may select the one they want.

Create your hero, select what you want from the list of talents, and feel free to explore the world in quest of adventure. This game, by the way, has a plethora of boosters for a speedier and easier passage through the game.

For example, to get to the main boss in the Sepulcher of the First raid, you need to win 11 bosses of different difficulty. ELEVEN!!! And by purchasing a zovaal boost, not only will you defeat this boss on Normal, Heroic, or Mythic modes, but you will also get a chance to get awesome loot and various achievements.

So try it, but be careful: WoW can easily drag you out for years, so dose the amount of adventure.

#2. Black Desert Online

It's no secret that Asia, and particularly South Korea, is a leader in the number of MMORPG lovers. As a result, many games of this genre are made here, where eSports is a popular passion among all youngsters. Black Desert Online is a free-to-play game created by South Korean company PearlAbyss.

This game, like many other comparable projects, features its own fantasy universe and several classes, including both common ones like a warrior and an archer and exotic ones like Valkyrie, Mystic, and Stryker. In general, there is a wide range of missions, classes, and places to choose from.

#3. EVE Online

EVE Online is an online space MMORPG with a huge gaming community around the world. It has the concept of sandbox and has been actively developed since 2003.

Players, who are called "capsuleers" here, get access to PvP and PvE battles, space exploration, resource extraction, production, a realistic economy and much more. You’’ see more than 7,000 star systems are available to players – here you can colonize, explore, fight and team up with hundreds of thousands of other players.

#4. The Elder Scrolls Online

The Elder Scrolls Online is an online multiplayer role-playing game. The very idea of ​​creating an MMO based on the cult The Elder Scrolls series initially seemed to be a failure. After all, it was the best single-player RPG in the world with an amazing atmosphere and the feeling that you really live in a huge world full of freedom and adventure. Nevertheless, Zenimax Online promised to somehow combine all this and generally do something completely grandiose. And we must admit, it almost succeeded.

Here the action takes place on the fictional continent of Tamriel, which is divided into four major warring factions. Players can complete story missions, guild missions, or fight for control of territories with other players in PvP arenas.

The Elder Scrolls Online has a well-developed world, a boosting system, many races and a well-thought-out role-playing system, unique quests, etc.  In general, if you are a fan of the franchise of the same name or just love good MMORPGs, then you will definitely like this project.

#5. Star Wars: The Old Republic

The game is an MMORPG in the setting of the legendary Star Wars. Here you also choose your class, abilities and travel around the well-known world, completing the necessary tasks and boosting your hero. In addition to the classic collective entertainment – joint quests, PvP and so on – the developers promise a powerful plot that will be interesting to pass alone.

There are two types of races in the game: playable and non-playable. Also in Star Wars: The Old Republic there are many worlds that are open for exploration. It is worth mentioning that the game is distributed according to the free-to-play model.
