#BEST MMORPG 2018 XBOX PATCH#
While Shadowlands has experienced a delayed launch on top of the longest duration of a launch patch in the game’s history, there’s no denying that WoW still has years of quests, raids, dungeons and even transmog fashion pieces to collect from previous expansions. With nearly sixteen years worth of patches and eight expansions, WoW is an industry titan. World of Warcraft changed the entire MMORPG genre after its original launch in 2004, setting itself apart from past games by being more accessible to veterans of the genre and newcomers. The future is looking very bright for Phantasy Star.

It’s also had over eight years of content updates that all rolled out just this past year with PSO2’s recent western release, and will soon receive a new open world, graphics engine update, systems and more, thanks to a major update with New Genesis. While the UI and menu design feels a little dated these days, Phantasy Star Online 2 still feels incredibly fresh to play, thanks to the fast-action anime sci-fi combat, incredible character creation tools, randomly generated fields, excellent electronic soundtrack, and chaotic Urgent Quests.
With consistent DLC drops and performance updates, ESO continues to improve upon itself and now has never been a better time to hop into the world – especially for those who loved Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls games.
Do you want to summon dark magic as a Breton while you fight, or would you rather be a Wood Elf with the power of nature and a bow for defense? ESO combines gorgeous, diverse landscapes that you can easily travel around, wonderful combat and expansive quest options, all while allowing you to play alongside your pals. The Elder Scrolls Online allows you to get lost in a fantasy world where you can control your own story down to the nitty gritty details. There's even a new expansion, End of Dragons, that's slated for 2021. Add that to the game's unique weapon ability system in which different weapons provide different abilities for different classes WHILE in different hands, and ArenaNet's "Living World" approach to storytelling segments, and you have a recipe for a game that stands the test of time. It’s also very accessible while it encourages social interaction and cooperation with others, it can also largely be played solo. Guild Wars popularized the concept of an MMO with no monthly fees, and continues that business model to this day. Major content drops don’t seem to be as often as they used to, but The Old Republic is still worth returning to after all this time.

For fans of the classic KOTOR series who may not be well-versed in MMORPGs, SWTOR has been tweaked to be single player friendly as well, and now that the game is free-to-play, anyone can jump in to try the class stories and the first couple of expansions. Storytelling is vital in RPGs and Bioware tells an excellent one in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Eve Online has found a way to stick around for almost two decades by being uncompromising in its vision, and that vision is staggering. A game of staggering depth and complexity, Eve Online has fostered a player base since 2003 with its meaningful consequences - you can permanently lose ships worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars - and its freedom for players to do just about anything, like assist in Covid-19 research and organize a stirring tribute for Stephen Hawking. EVE OnlineĮve Online has spawned so many great real-world stories that they could make a Top 10 List It does have issues such as animation-locking duringĬombat and a less-than fulfilling endgame, but Tera’s combat is still fun to play if you boot it up right now, and that is a true feat for a free-to-play MMO released a decade ago. Its gameplay is highly skill dependent, and the BAMs (Big-Ass Monsters) that roam freely are always tempting In a genre highly dependent on grinding to make the numbers go higher, Tera sets itself apartįrom the rest with an action combat system that still feels good to play today. City of Heroes laid the foundation for superhero MMORPGs but DCUO has such a breadth of existing lore and characters, it was a must recommend for this list. Now that DCUO is free-to-play and on multiple platforms, it’s now more accessible than ever and still has major content drops like the most recent World of Flashpoint. Would you rather have the power of flight, or super speed? Why not both? DCUO has been a home for DC and superhero fans and continues going strong 10 years later on 5 different platforms.
