Same, Toram Online but i haven't play the game for a long time. I hope Asobimo would make another mmorpg like Toram Online but in Tof or Wuwa styles of graphic, I think that would be amazing!
None? I mean, I've played the ones you mentioned but I quit them all.. This year I only played Once Human but quit it because the next PVE season with the new map took WAY too much time
I love the genre, but MMOs are pretty vertical: You level, hit endgame, complete the current content, and leave. Most MMOs see a rapid decline after a month because people tend to have cleared relevant content by then.
I’ve tried a few MMOs this year, and honestly, it’s been a mixed bag. Throne and Liberty was a disappointment, and surprisingly, I enjoyed Bless Unleashed more than that. Dragon & Home was a chill surprise, but nothing really stuck. I always find myself going back to BDO - the combat and graphics are top-tier - but even then, I can only enjoy it for about a month before wanting to try something new. The MMO genre has just been a huge letdown lately. Hence why I’ve been playing Strinova instead.
A fellow BDO player I see. Also I've never played TnL but I DID play Blessed Unleashed and that game was truly fun, TnL just boring and tab target and stale imo.
bro same especially with the new update for bdo. They literally just gave away PEN blackstar and a full TET boss gear set once you complete season. Got to 61 in 3 days
I like the combat in ESO as long as you ignore the light weaving aspect. I put long duration dots and ground effects on the backbar lay them out first, switch to front bar with shorter duration abilities then spam attack on B/Circle + Light Attacks. It's more comfortable this way and combat doesn't feel weird, only swapping to backbar when I need to refresh the dots and ground.
i just miss mmorpgs with an real artstyle like WoW or Wildstar and such, i don't really vibe with "realistic" looking mmorpgs so much, to me they all just look kinda boring even with the amount of detail. SWTOR still holds up in my opinion in that regard but at the end of the day i'd just really like wildstar back xD
I am just sad that Gw2 is not covered by bigger UA-camrs like you. I will not blaming you for not putting it on the list, I am simply sad to not see it there. I love that MMO and imo it is criminally underrated. Lets see what next year brings to the table for Gw2.
some ppl/youtubers only wants the nostalgic feeling of mmo, and i think thats the reason why many cant appreciate the art of GW2. its because GW2 stands firm in its own way. the beauty, the gameplay, the mechanics. gw2 surely built different
What do u mean people cant see the beauty and that its underrated? Someone made a top 250 mmorpgs according to videos and articles, i predicted it was going to be top 3, and it was top 3, and why did i guess that? Because i watch a lot of videos like these and its always in the tops. It is not underrated because everyone actually knows its good
im only in HW for FF14, but from my understanding with DT is that people hated the story/characters, but all the battle content has been near peak. some of the best in the game rivalling StB
My wife and I have been LOVING Wow lately. Delves are so much fun and I'm glad you mentioned them. Neither of us have the time to to dedicate to being in a guild and maintaining a raid or M+ schedule. As such we don't have a M+ score so we couldn't pug it if we want to, and we don't want to pug content, lol. Delves gave us content that was challenging, but we could do just us. I've really enjoyed it, and I'm excited for the future, with cool new classes hinted at, and player housing, it will be fun. FFXIV, we both quit when we saw the dawntrail announcement video. It looked so bad. The game is great story wise, but they're really falling behind in system updates. So much of the game is cumbersome or outdated. There's so much of the game that's just hidden that you need. Leveling alt specs is really boring, you have to go through all content to catch up, which leads to some weird gearing situations, and materia is just a terrible system. They need to fix some of the core parts of the game, because we won't come back if we're forced to play through this expansion to get to a future good expansion. I'd play through the story, but I don't want to have to gear up for each new step of content, and play through it slowly, to get to good content in the future. They need to streamline it, and update their systems to be more user friendly to keep up in the current age.
Left Dawntrail after I got to the credits. Easiest decision ever. Like you, after I saw the initial trailer I knew it was going to be shit but I thought there would be some redeeming quality to keep me in at least, but nah. I'll check back in 2 years for the next expansion maybe. I'm just going to assume everyone that keeps their sub going is because they're erpers or being held at gunpoint, I can't understand it otherwise.
Are you not even going to cover Pantheon finally going into early access after a decade? Over 2,000 people concurrently on steam and mostly positive reviews. I thought you were an MMO channel?
FFXI > all I just wish our Japanese Overlords would let us play Dragon Quest X Online with them because it’s basically FFXI but Dragon Quest IP and that’s GOATED
The Once Human game scans your hard drives while you have it running......my brother noticed it, it scanned ALL his drives......when he ran the game, it scanned all his drives, once he quit the game, it stopped.
There are only a small handful of MMOs I find myself consistently enjoying and I just rotate between those (Basically the ones covered in this video minus Once Human, with ESO chief among them). Despite disappointment after disappointment from the few new titles like Lost Ark that I actually get excited about, I remain hopeful that a worthy new addition to my little roster will come. And if and when it does, I am sure you'll let me know about it. And for that, I want to say thanks!
I've played it a TON. I just didn't have any motivation to continue this year haha. Maybe I'll go back and push through the 2 latest expansions in 2025! Still a great game!
dang, its honestly so sad to see this genre with so much potential being ruined by greedy companies, that dont listen to the consumers. i have hope someday it will make a comeback but thats definetly not now
Enjoyed the video a lot and was really suprised on what you thought of the last two games. I would not have guessed that Swtor was on this list. Positive surprise and I will give ESO a chance again too. I loves KOTOR when I was a child and SWTOR is really fun. Also elder scrolls. Enough said.
how do you feel about Path of Exile on this list/in general? I see a ton of players on that game. I never got too deep myself but I'm thinking about going back to it
Guild Wars 2 is the only mmo worth playing now than ever 😁. Unlike traditional and modern MMOs, there's so much to do without the modern gear treadmill that devalues your progress and reset your gear in every update 😓.
Its crazy you say, because theres another MMO that got stale at a rapid rate because they eliminated the need to farm new gear. Destiny 2 so a rapid decline in player engagement because there is zero reason to chase anything new in the game. Large reason why I've never given GW2 a chance because it just seems so pointless, as well as the games focus on PVP being a huge fail as well.
There are many things you can chase after in Guild Wars 2. You could spend years working toward certain goals. But the best part is that if your goals change, you lose nothing. You can stop chasing at any point, play something else, and return to the game whenever you want to continue from where you left off, even after 10 years. The gear system in GW2 is incredibly friendly. Instead of seeing the content as a grind, work, or being a slave, you can just enjoy the game. I’m mostly a PvP player. Once I defeat the final boss a couple of times (2 or 3 times if it wasn’t fun), I lose interest. It feels like the end because I don’t want to keep repeating the same thing over and over. But in GW2, if I get the drop, gear, or achievement I want, I don’t have to keep doing that content unless I actually enjoy it. WvW in GW2 is far from a failure - it’s a success that captures the essence of true PvP. It’s the true endgame for me, offering large-scale PvP similar to the open-world PvP I enjoyed in Aion and Lineage 2 before NCSoft ruined them with P2W stuff. I don’t like arena PvP in any game. I’ll be honest - I didn’t like the last two expansions in GW2, so I don’t play them. If this were a traditional MMO, that would probably mean the end of the game for me. But in GW2, I can keep enjoying the parts of the game I like. You can’t fairly judge something you’ve never given a real chance. Believe me, if you give it a chance, you might just get addicted. I used to think like you and left the game many times in the past, but after truly experiencing GW2 just after quiting Lost Ark, I can’t stand the traditional MMO progression system anymore. I don’t want to lose my hard work, achievements, or legendary gear every time a new update is released. I had a really bad experience with Lost Ark. After taking just a two-week break, all my progress was devalued because of new player events and updates. It was soooooooo frustrating, so I quit. GW2 progression system is the reason I’m still interested in MMOs nowadays. I know this was a long reply, but I just wanted to express why GW2 system is the best for me and the main reason I didn’t quit the MMO genre.
@@Nixxieds There are things to grind for. There are collections for special skins and effects. There are decorations for house instance. There are relics to unlock etc.
I've returned back to Dragon Nest BUT on a private server which has original stats back in the days before new weird stat and skill change update and it cured my depression for waiting for a new MMO like crystal of atlan to release global yet😊
Ever quest , runescape, and WOW will for ever be the Goats. Wish they would come out with something like them cool one day. Aparrently Leauge of Legends is trying to make a MMO ?
Enjoying mabinogi new talent release. Only thing I wish is they would make it more fantasy life and less real life. Survival games have some of the most decent grinds. I've spent thousands of hours playing survival games while most MMO's I just afk or do events and wait for new content
The only mmo game ive been truly enjoying and playing is ffxiv... Despite the negative reviews of current expandion, i personally did not find it bad granted it was my first on patch expansion experience ever. My only grip with ffxiv is that it can quickly get stale once youve done everything from msq, it's like now you either start finding a goal to or get into raiding This is like every mmo in general but even as a raider, it is nit that grindy so you dont even do that much either to get the best gears I am even trying on the new ultimate and to clear it but as usual pf waiting times are horried and i rather just do it with scheduled times with a static so outside raidtimes, i just do not have much to do at all
I know you guys here don't like Throne and Liberty but I am really enjoying it for 200 hours now. I like the PVP focus because for me dungeons are boring. In wow you get really good gear by just going PVP and don't need to touch dungeons. In Throne and Liberty unfortunately I am little forced to go dungeons because gear and runes which I don't like. There is still a lot to improve tho.
I don't know if you've tried Black Desert Online yet, but that game doesn't force anyone to do anything with mostly everything. The game is PvP focused and can legit get gear by just spamming instanced PvP for money and buying your gear or grinding in PvE for faster money, or even take it slow and Craft, Sail, or Gather or Fish for massive gains to make profit to get PvP gear! And in the future, they are adding like a semi Battle Royal like server for hardcore players and big rewards. Everyone spawns in with the same gear, you have to find new gear to grow stronger and survive
WoW, FFXIV, ESO & SWTOR all cover the MMORPG genre in different areas. It makes it difficult for other traditional MMORPG's to break through & stand out. Games like Once Human do enough to separate itself from those four although I wouldn't call it a traditional MMORPG. It does offer a unique & different experience which is what I enjoy playing it for. There's still a ton of MMORPG's out there to try. New World, Throne & Liberty, Black Desert & so on. None of which I've enjoyed much.
I gave up on Star Wars after it had game vaulting bugs (actual switches not loading, bugging story quests) and trying the dungeon finger caused keto sync UP to a high end game dungeon that was 60lva above me. I was lv 20, scaled up, and no skills. As the tank. I uninstalled the game.
Yeah, I really want to love ESO, but it remains my favorite game to not play... SWtOR is also entertaining in small doses. As it turns out, fun combat is kind of hard to do in these games. Too many games just feel glacial.
I left Warframe and Final Fantasy XIV after many years. And i don't play any MMO right now... I wanted to try Path of exile, but i can't stand top bottom tabletop rpg's how they are called. Where the camera is a ceiling/sky pov like Diablo. It sucks to not have any MMO to play to be honest...
So basically the same list as every year prior but with Once Human added to it but no mention of the season resets or the monetization hellscapes of the other mentions. No mention of GW2. Sadge.
Only MMO I am playing now is OSRS lol I also play FF14 during big patches, but only during those, since I've more or less done all side activities that aren't mindnumbing grinds haha
I found alot of the mmos you pointed out as good combat as rather trashy combat, i found Elder Scrolls Online as trash personally, i went right back to Swtor, the stories are awesome, the combat is more interesting and fast, the only slow and annoying combat is the world bosses and the bosses in general, the amount of health they have is insanely unrealistic. But each to their own.
Seriously?! It's another year and still same crap just old titles and nothing else. Let's keep playing in old crap for another hundreds/thousands hours because of nostalgia.
I think its time for you to focus on single player game. Those games are the one thats always trending right now cause they're really good. MMO is dying. Future MMO are mostly korean made and they all look the same.
unfortunately SWTOR is now plagued by DEI pushing devs. They implement too much stuff from Disney and you can see the Quality of the game going down dramatically. I hate that they are pushing Disney stuff into the old republic. i dont think the game will survive for much longer the way it goes.
Surprised you didn't say Black Desert Online, game has a consistent player base, probably higher than both Star Wars and Elder Scrolls. lol And Black Desert is a really fun PvP game. The only reason BDO is in a bad spot atm is because the Devs decided to make drastic PvP changes which pissed off a lot of the Playerbase into quitting, but they are slowly recovering by fixing the PvP that they destroyed in 1 update. And we have a new Gun class incoming alongside a whole bunch of new content and Expansions in the coming year. Edit: Forgot to mention that they also adding like a Battle Royal like server where you enter for 2hrs. and see who can rack up the most survive points, find new gear to get stronger, and deposit your points to claim victory. Everyone starts off with the same gear and is randomly spawned in a random spot in the desert.
The thing is with Dawntrail people can't see to realize that We saved Eorzea (So Far) And now we Mentor someone to do the same to their continent We're not the main character in this expansion And people that complained about Sera being a Bad VA cause she's Trans (Where most of the hate came from) Are just stupid imo She did a great job (Not because i'm an ally) but because from a Ex-VA's standpoint Creative Writing and expression from paper to voice is hard to interpret Unless written how Just Directive writing was slept on this expansion in my honest opinion Zones are beautiful Music is amazing as usual The Dungeons are beautiful And the FFXI Raid so far is one hell of a throwback (To me personally) Just the fact that we're Mentoring after literally saving the universe Fell bad with people Sadly
I didn't care about the voice actor drama. I just didn't like how slow and boring the expansion felt overall. I liked how action packed Shadowbringers and Endwalker were. Going the exact opposite direction just felt so anticlimactic. Which is fine - not every expansion is for every person.
Been playing the game since ARR launch. Story is honestly god awful. Its a tough sell to follow up ShadowBringers, Endwalker wasnt that good, Dawntrail doubled down on what made endwalker bad. Dawntrail is speedrunning all the problems that made World of warcraft lose so much of its playerbase, without any of its advantages. In the mean time the piss poor story direction of Dawntrail made FFXIV lose one of its few advantages over other MMO. On subject of Sera, most people didn't even know they were trans. I personally thought their performance was so bad, it genuinely made many cutscenes hard to watch. Dont use the transphobia argument to deflect legitimate criticism. Sera did an objectively bad performance for 90% of the expansion, only really improving in the post launch content.
I would say in defense of ffxiv DT, it is the start of a new saga and we just came off the climax of a 10 year story. So IMHO anything following EW is gonna pale in comparison at the start. But the combat has never felt better overall across all roles and the post DT content has been fire as well.
I don’t disagree that the expansions could get a lot better - case in point: Heavensward after ARR. But just because (and I have no doubt) they will, doesn’t make this any less boring. Which I’m honestly okay with. And I’ll get around to finishing eventually when I’m bored. It’s still a top-tier game either way and I look forward to seeing where the game goes from here!
What are YOUR favorite MMORPGs in 2024?
for me as f2p player, it's toram online and alchemia story
Same, Toram Online but i haven't play the game for a long time. I hope Asobimo would make another mmorpg like Toram Online but in Tof or Wuwa styles of graphic, I think that would be amazing!

Enjoying mabinogi new talent release. Only thing I wish is they would make it more fantasy life and less real life. Survival games have some of the most decent grinds. I've spent thousands of hours playing survival games while most MMO's I just afk or do events and wait for new content
feel the same about Dawntrail. In fact I couldn't even bring myself to finish the MSQ. I disliked it that much, it was such a let down.
The only mmo game ive been truly enjoying and playing is ffxiv... Despite the negative reviews of current expandion, i personally did not find it bad granted it was my first on patch expansion experience ever.
My only grip with ffxiv is that it can quickly get stale once youve done everything from msq, it's like now you either start finding a goal to or get into raiding
This is like every mmo in general but even as a raider, it is nit that grindy so you dont even do that much either to get the best gears
I am even trying on the new ultimate and to clear it but as usual pf waiting times are horried and i rather just do it with scheduled times with a static so outside raidtimes, i just do not have much to do at all
Last time you did a tier list you included almost every MMO except for Ultima Online..
I know you guys here don't like Throne and Liberty but I am really enjoying it for 200 hours now. I like the PVP focus because for me dungeons are boring. In wow you get really good gear by just going PVP and don't need to touch dungeons. In Throne and Liberty unfortunately I am little forced to go dungeons because gear and runes which I don't like.
There is still a lot to improve tho.
I don't know if you've tried Black Desert Online yet, but that game doesn't force anyone to do anything with mostly everything. The game is PvP focused and can legit get gear by just spamming instanced PvP for money and buying your gear or grinding in PvE for faster money, or even take it slow and Craft, Sail, or Gather or Fish for massive gains to make profit to get PvP gear! And in the future, they are adding like a semi Battle Royal like server for hardcore players and big rewards. Everyone spawns in with the same gear, you have to find new gear to grow stronger and survive
WoW, FFXIV, ESO & SWTOR all cover the MMORPG genre in different areas. It makes it difficult for other traditional MMORPG's to break through & stand out. Games like Once Human do enough to separate itself from those four although I wouldn't call it a traditional MMORPG. It does offer a unique & different experience which is what I enjoy playing it for. There's still a ton of MMORPG's out there to try. New World, Throne & Liberty, Black Desert & so on. None of which I've enjoyed much.
ESO combat is not slow, idk where that even comes from. The combat is flawless
I gave up on Star Wars after it had game vaulting bugs (actual switches not loading, bugging story quests) and trying the dungeon finger caused keto sync UP to a high end game dungeon that was 60lva above me.
I was lv 20, scaled up, and no skills. As the tank.
I uninstalled the game.
Shout out to an old Sega game ...Dreamscape...wow...they used the old pitfall mechanics and gave it a story and some fun....
Throne and Liberty still is so much fun! and still has alot of people active.
Yeah, I really want to love ESO, but it remains my favorite game to not play...
SWtOR is also entertaining in small doses.
As it turns out, fun combat is kind of hard to do in these games. Too many games just feel glacial.
Dawn Trail I didn't enjoy the maps for it. The moon and the little guys from the moon I absolutely adored. But that's it.
This list lacks Furcadia. Clearly bias. I demand a recount! (and proper review). :P
LMAO WIP!
New world aternum , most fun ive had since the early days of w.o.w
I left Warframe and Final Fantasy XIV after many years. And i don't play any MMO right now... I wanted to try Path of exile, but i can't stand top bottom tabletop rpg's how they are called. Where the camera is a ceiling/sky pov like Diablo. It sucks to not have any MMO to play to be honest...
I have played SWTOR. I would rather play Star Trek Online to be honest. You can't beat the Starship combat.
So basically the same list as every year prior but with Once Human added to it but no mention of the season resets or the monetization hellscapes of the other mentions. No mention of GW2. Sadge.
thats because GW2 is MID asf
@Nixxieds So is pretty much everything mentioned in this video.
Only MMO I am playing now is OSRS lol
I also play FF14 during big patches, but only during those, since I've more or less done all side activities that aren't mindnumbing grinds haha
ESO even as free to play has been sooooo good, genuinely feels like just running around skyrim with other people running by
Yup. Literally just jump in and do shit. It’s really fun!
Except for crapy combat and payed crafting
ESO has shit combat and character designs, plus just like WoW and FF14, it has been becoming unbearably woke.
@@rigardo576 ok
I found alot of the mmos you pointed out as good combat as rather trashy combat, i found Elder Scrolls Online as trash personally, i went right back to Swtor, the stories are awesome, the combat is more interesting and fast, the only slow and annoying combat is the world bosses and the bosses in general, the amount of health they have is insanely unrealistic.
But each to their own.
Seriously?! It's another year and still same crap just old titles and nothing else. Let's keep playing in old crap for another hundreds/thousands hours because of nostalgia.
Can you make best mmos for console?
I’m still Waiting for blue protocol
I would nominate FFXIV: Dawntrail for the biggest disappointment of 2024 award.
I think its time for you to focus on single player game. Those games are the one thats always trending right now cause they're really good. MMO is dying. Future MMO are mostly korean made and they all look the same.
I'm still playing Once Human. Still good for me
Exactly this! So many people still are!
One Human has a big problem of being interesting after a few weeks.
Honestly i am tired of seeing the same list every year can just get some good mmos that dont shutdown or actually make it out of alpha stage
Unfortunately, they can’t do them as well anymore
Why did you not put throne and liberty?? It averages 60k on steam not to mention it’s on ps5…
Bruh can you please make an update on arvita
I just can't find the time to play FFXIV with all these gacha games. 🙄
Haha understandable!
here we go again
Throne and Liberty
The mmoscape
is absolutely barren.
same old list , daym. we really need better ones. only 1 is new
Once human is a good game but i don't like the way they doing the season
Mmos are not worth playing since like 2010 or 2015
More waifu characters lol
your definition of mmo is bad
and the best is obviously tnl
unfortunately SWTOR is now plagued by DEI pushing devs. They implement too much stuff from Disney and you can see the Quality of the game going down dramatically.
I hate that they are pushing Disney stuff into the old republic.
i dont think the game will survive for much longer the way it goes.
rip
I see
I gave up on MMO's a long TIME agoo 🤣
6:15 "Dragonflight"
LMAO I meant Dawntrail. Shit I get those 2 expansions mixed up all the time!
Nah playing WoW is still the same guano ...
There are no MMOs worth playing.
Surprised you didn't say Black Desert Online, game has a consistent player base, probably higher than both Star Wars and Elder Scrolls. lol
And Black Desert is a really fun PvP game. The only reason BDO is in a bad spot atm is because the Devs decided to make drastic PvP changes which pissed off a lot of the Playerbase into quitting, but they are slowly recovering by fixing the PvP that they destroyed in 1 update. And we have a new Gun class incoming alongside a whole bunch of new content and Expansions in the coming year.
Edit: Forgot to mention that they also adding like a Battle Royal like server where you enter for 2hrs. and see who can rack up the most survive points, find new gear to get stronger, and deposit your points to claim victory. Everyone starts off with the same gear and is randomly spawned in a random spot in the desert.
End up the old mmo is better than latest mmo haha😂
I only play mabinogi
Return to Wok Lumat
Digimon masters online
They ALLL LOOK THE SAME..??? except human....they're all top down 3rd person hak n trash..
So nothing new or good. Disappointing
No NEW WORLD AETERUEM ?
This list 😅
The thing is with Dawntrail
people can't see to realize that
We saved Eorzea (So Far)
And now we Mentor someone to do the same to their continent
We're not the main character in this expansion
And people that complained about Sera being a Bad VA cause she's Trans (Where most of the hate came from)
Are just stupid imo
She did a great job (Not because i'm an ally) but because from a Ex-VA's standpoint
Creative Writing and expression from paper to voice is hard to interpret
Unless written how
Just Directive writing was slept on this expansion in my honest opinion
Zones are beautiful
Music is amazing as usual
The Dungeons are beautiful
And the FFXI Raid so far is one hell of a throwback (To me personally)
Just the fact that we're Mentoring after literally saving the universe
Fell bad with people
Sadly
I didn't care about the voice actor drama. I just didn't like how slow and boring the expansion felt overall. I liked how action packed Shadowbringers and Endwalker were. Going the exact opposite direction just felt so anticlimactic. Which is fine - not every expansion is for every person.
Been playing the game since ARR launch. Story is honestly god awful. Its a tough sell to follow up ShadowBringers, Endwalker wasnt that good, Dawntrail doubled down on what made endwalker bad.
Dawntrail is speedrunning all the problems that made World of warcraft lose so much of its playerbase, without any of its advantages. In the mean time the piss poor story direction of Dawntrail made FFXIV lose one of its few advantages over other MMO.
On subject of Sera, most people didn't even know they were trans. I personally thought their performance was so bad, it genuinely made many cutscenes hard to watch. Dont use the transphobia argument to deflect legitimate criticism. Sera did an objectively bad performance for 90% of the expansion, only really improving in the post launch content.
I would say in defense of ffxiv DT, it is the start of a new saga and we just came off the climax of a 10 year story. So IMHO anything following EW is gonna pale in comparison at the start. But the combat has never felt better overall across all roles and the post DT content has been fire as well.
I don’t disagree that the expansions could get a lot better - case in point: Heavensward after ARR. But just because (and I have no doubt) they will, doesn’t make this any less boring. Which I’m honestly okay with. And I’ll get around to finishing eventually when I’m bored. It’s still a top-tier game either way and I look forward to seeing where the game goes from here!
Well the list stays the same lol
MMO is dead.
same ol, same ol
End of Xbox support for pso2 ngs due to lost a lot of players as Xbox is on the verge of pulling out of Japan
you have been saying that for a year.
