We all know about the video game console wars that are going on, but have you forgotten the dominance that the MMORPG has in the video game market? The heavyweight of the MMORPG gaming division, World of Warcraft boasts a user list of millions of fans around the world. That’s just a game. Now multiply that by a hundred or so for the other games and it’s easy to see why MMORPGs have become the most played games in the world.

The term MMORPG is short for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. What makes these games different from all the others is the way it is played. They consist of a constant world for hundreds or thousands of players to play at the same time and interact with each other. There is a running fee of $10 to $15 per month on top of whatever price you paid for the actual game. Here are the top five MMORPG games available:

• world of warcraft – When it comes to the MMORPG genre, there’s Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft and then there’s everyone else. It is hands down the most popular and best operating game in this style. It does so through a combination of exceptional art, rhythm gameplay, an engaging and ever-expanding world, and an interface system like no other.
• Ever Quest III – If it wasn’t for the people who play Everquest, then there probably wouldn’t be an MMORPG video game genre. As you can imagine, Everquest II had some pretty big shoes to fill and did a lot more. Let’s go over the reasons why gamers love this game. First of all, the graphics are outstanding, the extensive use of voiceovers is seamlessly integrated into the game, character creation is easy yet extensive, and the combat system is better than anything else out there.
• Final Fantasy XI -Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last twenty years, then I’m sure you know there’s a video game series called Final Fantasy and it’s a big deal. Now the best-known series for consoles has been expanded into an MMORPG. The game takes place around three powerful nations who protect the world of Vana’diel from the enemies of hostile beastmen. What makes it different from the rest of the game for this list is that it is the first MMO that allows PS2, Xbox 360 and PC users to play in the same universe.
• Vanguard: Saga of Heroes – This game offers gamers like you and me a seemingly huge and endless world with elaborate elaboration of player skills, such as a much-hyped diplomacy system with which you can influence NPCs. Vanguard is not for the faint of heart, as it is a demanding game compared to many other MMORPGs, both in terms of hardware requirements and time. The gameplay has a considerable amount of depth and is an ambitious project for a player to challenge.
• Ever Quest – No matter where the MMORPG genre develops, there will always be a special place in players’ hearts for EverQuest. It was the first of its kind to be played in a 3D game to take hold in the US. Even to this day, it still boasts a very large player base, with some saying it has more content than any of its competitors. . It takes place in a mythical realm filled with halflings, ogres, healers, necromancers, and monsters, with a remarkable level of character specialization.
