Best free MMORPGs

Dungeons & Dragons – Neverwinter

Starting this guide dedicated to the MMORPG category and starting from the free to play ones , I would say to start with Dungeons & Dragons – Neverwinter, a massive video game of a fairly classic mold.

Featuring a fantasy-medieval setting taken from the famous and much-loved fictional setting Forgotten Realms, the game, as the name can easily guess, takes full inspiration from the universe of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

The result is an MMORPG that, detached from previous video games featuring the Neverwinter brand, represents a bit of the spiritual heir of the old MMORPG Dungeons & Dragons Online , although we must still take into account the enormous differences between the two titles.

Dungeons & Dragons – Neverwinter is an MMORPG with a style more similar to modern video games of the same genre and features action combat suitable for both mouse and keyboard as well as the controller. Not surprisingly, in fact, the title was published on PC and also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. However, the game is not available on Mac.

The title still enjoys several updates that frequently expand its contents. You can start playing Dungeons & Dragons – Neverwinter by downloading the game from the official website. To play on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, download the game from PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store . On PC, the game is also available on the Steam platform .

Secret World Legends

Secret World Legends is one of the most popular MMORPG video games even if it is less known (and often unfairly underestimated) than other equally free titles in the same category .

The peculiarity of Secret World Legends is given by its urban fantasy genre setting in which players will have to take on the role of special agents of historical secret societies and face clashes in modern and post-apocalyptic settings.

The setting of the game also seems to take inspiration from the novels of HP Lovecraft; developed by the well-known company Funcom (Swedish company known for its video game Conan Exiles ), the title was born following the desire to modernize the previous title The Secret World: Secret World Legends was born precisely from the ashes of The Secret World.

The remake of the game by the developer company is truly remarkable thanks to the notable best implemented; as a result, Secret World Legends deserves a place in this ranking dedicated to the best MMORPGs.

Secret World Legends is only available on PC , there is no Mac version and it is not present on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles either. On PC, the game is also available on the Steam platform .

Guild Wars 2

With a past that has gone from being a paid MMORPG video game to free , Guild Wars 2 is the sequel to the franchise of the same name and is a great product for lovers of massive role-playing video games.

Developed by ArenaNet, a company that has always stood out positively, Guild Wars 2 is certainly one of the best MMORPGs that give its best when played in large groups of people. A title absolutely worthy of mention that will especially appeal to those who love a totally fantasy setting and do not disdain some classic mechanics, as well as prefer an action and even a little tactical combat.

Among the most prominent features of the title is the possibility of clashing in PVP (Player VS Player, player against player) and WvW (World VS World, worlds against worlds) modes .

Guild Wars 2 is constantly updated but expansions, additional content that introduce new game features, are paid. The purchase of the expansion (although not mandatory), is definitely worth considering the high quality level of the game. In this perspective, however, Guild Wars 2 may not be suitable for those who want to play a MMORPG always completely free .

Guild Wars 2 is available for PC and Mac, so you can download it for free from its official website.

TERA

Distinguished by a classic and traditional fantasy setting, TERA, an acronym for The Exiled Realm of Arborea, is a free MMORPG focused on action and fast-paced combat.

Among the video games I mentioned to you, it is one of the most old-fashioned ones, since it has outdated game mechanics, focusing everything on the possibility of fighting in an extremely frenetic way. The frenzy of combat is clearly well suited to playing with a controller: it is no coincidence that the development team has announced its intention to carry out a transposition of the game also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. At the time of writing, however, the game has not yet seen the light on the Sony and Microsoft home consoles, as it is still in the beta test phase.

While TERA has certainly seen better days, given its outdated mechanics and gameplay style, it has long been one of the best completely free MMORPGs. I chose to include it since it was for a long time one of the most played massive genre titles on Steam , the platform on which the game is present.

TERA is playable for free on PC and is not available for Mac.

Other free MMORPGs:

• ArcheAge: MMORPG video game of the sandbox genre, with a classic fantasy setting strongly focused on land and sea exploration for colonization purposes. The strong point is given by its detachment from the classic game canons, giving the player more free choices on the construction of his character. It is free but offers the possibility to subscribe to a subscription . It is available on Steam .
• EVE Online: Formerly paid, EVE Online is an MMORPG video game based on space exploration. Its strong point is the sci-fi setting and its vast, fully explorable world. Recommended for science fiction lovers, it is available on Steam .

Best paid MMORPGs

World of Warcraft

Lovers of MMORPG video games will certainly know World of Wacrarft, as it is one of the oldest (and still active) massive video games. Regarded as one of the milestones of the genre, the title, despite its combat and its slightly dated PVE and PVP mechanics, is still the undisputed leader of the market. Most appreciated by players is in fact the narrative component of the title, able to stand up to more recent titles.

World of Warcraft is set in the fantasy universe of Warcraft and is developed by Blizzard, now quite well known and appreciated video game developer. It is available for PC via the Battle.net gaming platform and is also present on Mac.

World of Warcraft is a paid MMORPG that requires the purchase of the base version and the various expansions (which are made available on a periodic basis). There is also the cost of a monthly subscription to add .

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Perhaps the only title that can effectively stand up to the World of Warcraft leader is Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, an MMORPG based on the fantasy setting of Final Fantasy.

The game combines classic mechanics with some more innovative ones based on exploration. What most attracts players is clearly the presence of all the key fantasy elements of the Final Fantasy saga. At the head of the development of the game is Square Enix, one of the most well-known companies in the video game sector.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a paid MMORPG that also requires a monthly subscription. The game is available on PC , via Steam , on Mac and also on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Black Desert

MMORPG video game that has characteristics in some ways similar to ArcheAge, from the moment it focuses on the exploration of the fantasy world.

The game features action combat similar to hack’n ‘slash video games and a non-traditional progression system that features a similar approach to other popular oriental-style MMORPGs. In addition to being present on Steam where it is available for purchase, the game will also land on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

Other popular multiplayer video games

If the titles that I have presented to you have not convinced you, I suggest you give a chance to the titles listed below that offer a more modern approach to the MMORPG genre, inspired by it but differentiating themselves in some respects.

• The Division: video game developed by Ubisoft Entertainment that will put players in the shoes of military specials called Division Agents called to restore order after the spread of a virus. The strong point is the modern setting and the ability to play in a group. The game is paid and available on Steam .
• Destiny 2:even if not really to be placed in the MMORPG genre, Destiny 2, sequel to the video game of the same name, is an excellent title for lovers of science fiction, FPS video games. Currently present on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles , it is also coming to PC and where it will be distributed by Blizzard via its Battle.net platform . The game is paid and there are plans to release expansions that can be purchased.
