HEY! I love the idea of MMORPGs but am not great at sticking with any for an extremely long time. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for RPGs and many have importance to me.
MMO’s that mean something to me (not sure if complete list):
Runescape: My and many others first RPG, played this when I was in middle school and loved it.
Puzzle Pirates: Maybe my favorite MMO of all time, not and RPG but an MMO nevertheless. Instead of traditional MMORPG mechanics it uses different puzzles to represent different parts of the pirate life. Want to do a sword fight? Here’s Puzzle Fighter! Want to sail a ship? Here’s Dr. Mario! Etc.
World of Warcraft Classic: This game brought a whole friend group back together for me! Played for a couple months a lot with high school friends and it brought us back together. We stopped playing WoW but we continue to talk and play games.
Guild Wars 1: Love this game, yet I did not even beat one of the 3 campaigns, haha. I need to return to it someday. An MMORPG that doesn’t feel like an MMO, as it’s mostly instanced and you can do most by yourself.
Guild Wars 2: This is the MMO I still play sometimes, I’m trying to do World Completion, which is very fun/relaxing/satisfying for me. World Completion is doing every main quest in the game, seeing every part of the map, and visiting every Vista (vistas are generally high up places that are usually fun to reach, and can be a kind of jumping puzzle.)
Honorable Mentions:
Star Wars: The Old Republic: Traditional MMO with a really cool story mode, I’d like to possibly return to this someday.
World of Warcraft Modern: A fantastic MMORPG, I played a lot during Pandaria, but just can’t justify the monthly cost since I don’t feel I can dedicate enough hours as it wants.
Now that my story is out of the way, tell me YOUR story!
Which MMORPG’s are most important to you?
Do you still play any?
Are there any new ones you are looking forward to?
