FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What MMORPG means?
MMORPG is an acronym for “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game” and is usually the term used to describe online games like World of Warcraft (WoW), Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars 2, The Elder Scrolls Online and EVE Online.
Common features of an MMORPG are role-playing elements (RPG) like character progression, creating your own character or deciding what class or skills your character will use, questing or going into dungeons, and grouping together in "parties" or "Guilds". In addition to the roleplaying elements, these games usually feature large expansive worlds to explore, deep narratives, non-player characters (NPCs), plenty of side activities (like fishing, crafting, player housing or mini-games), and more.
The “Massively Multiplayer Online” portion of the acronym refers to the games requiring an internet connection as they are played online and they usually involve thousands, if not tens of thousands for some of the larger games, of players in the same play space (usually called a “server”).
What is the best free MMORPG in 2025?
The “best” free MMORPG this year is going to be a tough question to answer as this is a highly subjective term and your own personal likes and dislikes will certainly play a factor. What is best for my likes and wants in a game may not match up with your likes.
That said, though, if you are looking for something new on the MMORPG front to play, there are a few titles that most MMORPG players will ask if you have played yet so their common questions could serve as a good starting point for your search.
1 - Guild Wars 22 - Lost Ark
4 - Star Wars: The Old Republic
5 - Path of Exile
6 - Albion Online
7 - RuneScape
8 - The Lord of the Rings Online
9 - Dungeons & Dragons Online
10 - Star Trek Online
What free MMORPG has the most players?
Some of the current free MMORPGs with large player counts right now would include:
1 - Runescape
2 - Path of Exile
3 - Guild Wars 2
4 - Lost Ark
5 - EVE Online
Figuring out how many players an MMORPG has can be a difficult task. It’s rare that games release their player totals anymore and given the wide distribution of MMORPGs across multiple platforms and launchers, it is hard to use tools like Steam Charts to see a game’s player count. Not every player of an MMORPG may be playing via Steam or even playing on PC.
What is the difference between RPG and MMORPG?
The primary difference between RPG titles and MMORPG titles is the size of the player base in the world at any given time. RPGs are typically single-player experiences that sometimes offer the ability to group up with small groups of your friends in multiplayer content. MMORPGs usually have a persistent world with thousands of players online at any given time.
When you turn off your copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the world essentially comes to a pause until the next time you play. MMORPGs, on the other hand, keep evolving when you are offline as many other players continue their adventures in the same world you are a part of even without you being there.
What is MMO vs MMORPG?
MMO stands for "Massively Multiplayer Online" and refers to video games that can be played online with many other players. An MMORPG is a specific type of MMO game that is centered around role-playing, allowing players to create and customize their own characters and progress through a persistent world by completing quests and interacting with other players.
