There are many reasons these games managed to attain a spot on this list. One of the main things that we enjoyed in every single one of these is that they’re backed up by a pretty amazing community. No matter which of these games you play, you’ll always be greeted by some amazing players who’ll be willing to go off on quests with you at all times and also help you out with the basics if you’re struggling to get the hang of things. MMO communities with low levels of toxicity are pretty hard to come across but once you do manage to find a game with a helpful player-base, the experience becomes much more enjoyable.

Another key reason these games managed to get a spot on this list is that they all go above and beyond to give their players a fresh and engaging experience. The MMO genre is so vast that every new game feels like a rehash of something that’s come before but that isn’t the case with these.

Everything ranging from the combat to the visuals has been pulled off with perfection and there’s just so much to do in the game that you’ll never feel bored playing it.
