  • The other day on stream, we took a look at a video by Lucky Ghost highlighting the top 15 MMOs by player count as of mid 2024. We were surprised to see just how long some of these MMOs have been able to hang onto their player base.

    Guild Wars 2 is the biggest underdog in my opinion. Both my brother and I have been playing it for years, and I have never, ever regretted paying for the full game. It may get overshadowed in the media and against it's competitors, but it is always a blast. PvP also feels like you're a part of an army, charging at huge castles your enemy is defending or attacking.
    It also has the best seasonal events of any game in it's genre, and I will die on that hill. Shadow of the Mad King is a dream (nightmare) everyone should get to experience.

    Guild Wars 2 was groundbreaking in a lot of ways. They went out of their way to not make any design decisions by default.
    I think it likely inspired some systems design for Destiny.

    • @Voidova
      @Voidova Місяць тому +6

      The biggest problem with ESO is that it pretends to be subscription free in order to justify the egregious prices for not just cosmetics but also skill line skips, etc.
      It's really not sub-free, if you want to seriously invest time into ESO you're nearly forced into the subscription. Crafting is an extreme hassle without the craft bag from the sub, you get only half the bank space, only half the furniture slots so housing is a no-go.
      As a consequence of the cosmetic shop there's next to nothing you can earn in the game in terms of cosmetics for the average player to feel some pride in.
      There are *very* few mounts you can in theory earn from trials. They're however locked behind seriously difficult challenges that 99% of the playerbase will never dream of completing. Everyone else has to spend money if they want something cool or do like 6-12 months worth of daily challenges to get the seals to buy just one good mount from the shop. And of course there's no sense of achievement or fun in that.
      I highly advice against playing it on console right now. Since the expansion launch this June, they've arbitrarily implemented a menu FPS cap for current gen consoles. The reason stated is "environmental sustainability". They're limiting your performance because they want to hit their own set energy saving goal, it's pretty egregious.

    • @AuraMaster_7
      @AuraMaster_7 Місяць тому +4

      ESO is one of the more enjoyable story-MMOs I've played. It's able to pull from an incredibly deep library of lore and is set in an expansive and beloved setting, so anyone who is a fan of The Elder Scrolls or just fantasy in general can really enjoy running through the game's many different campaigns.
      The combat is a little stiff but not bad, just a product of when it came out. Monetization isn't horrible - you can trade your way into owning every DLC in the game without spending a cent and it's not even that hard, and the subscription is good to have but not as required as many other games on the list.
      It's got a ton of content, and is still constantly coming out with more to do, new classes, new skills, new areas, new stories, new endgame.
      I can very much recommend ESO if you like fantasy MMOs.

    I have played swtor since beta. Love the game, and run the 2nd most active guild on the server. 2200+ in our discord. The end game raids are a challenge, especially Master Mode God's of the Machine Raid. Only a handful (were literally talking less than 100) have legitimately cleared that raid. My team is currently progging the 3rd encounter Nahut. There are 2 more after that. Then once you've completed that you can go back in and try to get the timer run 90min. Mm gods timer is by far the greatest achievement in the game. A intense battle of mechanics and team play I recommend anyone who has 7 other friends to try.
    One you do this on 8 man then their 16 for another mind **** lol loads of fun. However I will say I have 2 games this and destiny ;) always need that extra game to cure the boredom when it comes.

      So to grind to max gear level you talking 2- 3 weeks minimum. If you make multiple characters.

      Just running 1 character your talking probably 3 weeks to a month and a half gearing wise.

    If I had to recommend only one MMO for someone to play and make their primary MMO, I would pick Guild Wars 2. And this is coming from someone who's played Destiny, OSRS, RS3, and dabbled in a few other MMOs, I would pick GW2 every time. It has a hybrid action-tab target combat system that feels extremely smooth, and it even has underwater combat that doesn't feel like complete ass. Each of the nine professions are incredibly unique and well balanced, and literally every single class can fill any role. Like he said in the original video, GW2 has the best mounts in the industry, so much so that it served as the blueprint for WoW's Dragonflight mounts! It also has arguably the best open world experience among traditional MMOs with its dynamic event system (which Destiny also took inspiration from). Each zone has a series of meta events that culminate in insane boss fights that make even the Witness look small by comparison, including in the starter zones. Seriously, exploring the open world in this game is so fun, especially in the later zones.

    GW2, FFXIV, and BDO are the main ones for me on this list. Love all of them! I've invested a solid amount of hours into all of the games on this list (outside of wizard 101) and these 3 are definitely my favorites with each having thousands of hours invested (BDO over 20,000 hours)
    GW2 is criminally underrated with the storylines in the expansions being good, the combat being amazing, the mounts being the best in any MMO with how unique they all are, the maps are designed around the mounts and have so much depth and secrets to them, and the world events are some of the most memorable and breathtaking experiences in the game.
    FFXIV has the best story in any MMO hands down. Definitely moments that at least brought me to tearing up, and i know others who were full on bawling their eyes out. Satisfying combat and fun raids. The only catch is the raids are a lot more like a dance where people need to be in the right place at the right time as opposed to something like WOW where only a few need to do mechanics a lot of the time.
    BDO has the best combat and PvP hands down. It's fast, responsive, intuitive, and impactful. The world is seamless and beautiful (one loading screen to get into the world initially). The mounts are cool with the top end horses getting some unique traversal skills. The life-skilling in the game is massive with an absolute ton to gather and create. Sailing also opens up a lot of options in the world with stuff like underwater gathering and trading. There's just a ton to do in the game. My only two gripes are in order to keep up with the super high end pvp, you do have to spend a good chunk or invest soooo much time into the game, as well as the gear progression eventually hits a point where you have to get lucky or the gear power is reduced if you don't decide to save and buy off the market board. That's ultimately why I stopped playing, because I had to treat it like a second job in order to keep up with end game/top 1% pvp.

    As someone who has played eso longer than any of the mmos I play now and since launch specifically, I have to say the experience will vary massively depending what you are looking for. It's good for casual play and questing, and generally just playing around how you want. Anything on the normal end for content is more than fine with any basic build and nothing can stop you there. But after that is where everything else stops otherwise, as if you wanna farm cosmetics, everything you are looking for will 9 times out of 10 be locked behind one of the most egregious cash shops out of this list sporting lootboxes, convenience boosters, slots for outfits, characters, loadouts, etc. and just pages upon pages of store items with scroll bars for each of them along with extremely expensive housing that you cannot get any other way but them being bought for anything on the higher end. Cosmetic wise the game is utterly robbing you compared to even other egregious examples on the list, and this generous month he mentioned is more than likely to this being the ten year anniversary year than them listening to feedback and even then the crown store has still utterly trumped those free items by a killer mile. For everything else, endgame content will require far more investment than a lot of other games, also giving next to nothing for rewards, and constant balance changes will keep having you investing into the endgame than actually running it at times. The story questlines at least in my opinion have been anywhere between middling to just bad with summerset being the last time they had a fairly enjoyable questline to follow. PvP has also been pretty much ignored largely for an incredible amount of time, which was a selling point for the game on launch. It's not the worst game ever by any stretch, but the fact he completely glossed over the absolute gash on the game like the cash shop just because it's not pay to win is pretty surprising considering it's one of the worst aspects of the game to a point pay to win isn't as much an argument anymore when the game itself throttles all of your motivation to your wallet.

    Hardcore classic wow with a group of friends has been some of the most fun I’ve had in a game in a long time

    Guildwars 2 is a great game and respects your time does not need to spend a lot of money to play it also just one purchase of the expansions which are not expensive and they do a lot of discounts often . The mounts are amazing the fashion aspect to. Combat great the build crafting is amazing and their new expansion will also introduce player housing ...and we are talking 10 years of content to explore and experience it has one of the best open world systems and you will never find a map not having people in it even though is older content. Not to mention World vs World vs World :D massive pvp craziness very fun. I recommend people to try it

    As someone who goes back to play BDO every now and then, I 100% recommend BDO if you enjoy long grinds and just general action combat.
    No other game comes close to the action combat that BDO has, the feeling of moving from pack to pack, managing your skills and AoE is just simply amazing.
    It has definitely gotten better of the years with them giving out free gear as well as seasonal servers being a good boost into the midgame to endgame of BDO.

    Albion is on mobile so it makes a lot of sense in terms of player growth. Never played but definitely seen tons of adds over the few years
