Are any MMOs worth playing in 2020?

Post milkers of that that new champ

Minecraft

none, dead genre

As sad it is the top 3 in terms of population is ff14, eso or wow.

>ESO
Is it worth picking up, or only played because of the elder scrolls name? I briefly tried it near launch and hated the combat, but maybe I just needed more time with it.

Its floaty, meta builds and animation cancelling i wont lie and say its fun its not, everyone playing only does it for roleplaying.

Anarchy Online

Is BDO the only current active MMO with a sandbox feel? I've never really cared for theme park MMOs like WOW and XIV.

So what are the top 3 if I want to play an MMO that isn't trying to be a character action game with nonstop skill rotation spamming and hopping out of glowing circles?

No.

Aside from private servers for 20+ year old games, Project Gorgon.

how dead is it?

I don't know, haven't played in ages.

It looks great, but there are few enough players on steam that the community hub isn't showing concurrent players. I think that happens when it's under 300. Probably not a good sign. I'd drop £30 on it if it was active enough though.

seems completely dead

I'm jumping around between FF14, GW2, BDO and SWTOR.
Kinda curious about that Amazon one.

Hopping between wow, GW2 and BDO.

>SWTOR for the story and nothing else
>EQ2 if you want to lose years of your life to a virtual world

Honestly, these two are the only ones worth it anymore. WoW is a sinking ship.

If been playing SWTOR since launch although I play way less now that they've taken NiM raiding away.

Chinks can't be elves, sorry.

Phantasy Star Online 2.

Warhammer

Pretty much.
EVE too if you enjoy staring at space and make excel spreadsheets

is it dead
sometimes I think about going back and farming some hecklers

Return of reckoning is gud.

just play xiv

Is there any okayish SRO pserver?
prefer 80-100cap

FFXIV feels the best to play. you can switch from the different classes on the same character quickly and easily, all the relevant information is displayed neatly, and the game looks nice. Can be enjoyed without starting with a friend.

ESO has the best world. The npcs are fully voiced and quests feel engaging. It feels more like a multiplayer skyrim than an MMO, and it's the only MMO where I feel a sense of wonder just exploring the overworld. Best enjoyed with friends.

Pretty alive with the current influx of quarantined people. No joke.

MMOs will never be popular like the 90s/2000s again unless theres a major breakthrough, probably in VR or with mobile support.

is OSRS good?
haven't played runescape

It's just a shame XIV is 100% a modern MMO with hotbar combat. It would've been way cooler if they made everything fully open and put more focus on the job aspect instead of regular raid endgame content.

>modern
it was made to be playable with a controller on PS3 architecture. there's no way the game could have been too ambitious without eliminating the console demographic.

I recently picked up FFXI and shit is actually pretty fun when you get used to it

>he can't animation cancel
lmao

xiv is split into separate instanced areas instead of freely transitioning from area to area or flying over the walls of a town like in world of warcraft. I also prefer other MMO combat systems to hotbar tab targeting.

It's a WoW clone.

that's probably because of console limitiations though

People don't want to admit it, but VRchat is reviving the MMO as a genre. They'll respond with
>B-but it's just Second Life with a headset!
as if all of the most kino MMOs weren't just chatrooms anyway.

I think it's a limitation of XIV 1.0 more than simply being on console (although their promise of ARR being on PS3 might've contributed).

Speak for yourself

Autistic trannies are ruining MMOs with their erp shit

So like in BDO?

VRchat is just group improv without an audience.

fallout 76

BDO is great. Only issue is the microtransactions and how plain your character/house looks without them, but I can live with it.

OSRS but only if you have nostalgia

BDO is basically just maplestory but not a completely deprecated dead horse being blended up and dosed out for all time. You grind and chill out with people occasionally doing PvP. It's pay2win but only whales engage with that shit. Just don't spend money and it's an ok grinding game

What does "winning" even mean in BDO?

PVP stuff

PvP battles are tiered so you basically can't compete in the whale tier. Also if one decides to gank you you're probably just dead so don't contest the peak efficiency grind spots during peak hours.

OSRS

rs players are the only chad mmo players left

Everybody else is guzzling shit from blizzard or playing weeb dress-up shit, either way both have cash shops and p2w

you could argue paint drying isn't p2w or playing dressup too

Only reason I played MMOs is because I like to grind for stuff in a persistent world, I don't actually like interacting with other people.

I don't think you have to play it through steam unless you bought it there so those numbers aren't accurate. Admittedly the numbers probably aren't THAT much higher though.
