From esports players to streamers, viewers to teachers, they are shooting, blasting, building, exploiting glitches, and doing so much more. In this ecosystem, there’s a sub-community of MMORPG players, MMORPG means Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.

Let’s hit the road.

5. RuneScape

RuneScape is a free MMORPG and is one the oldest MMORPG in the market. And is recognized by Guinness World Records for the world’s largest and most-updated free MMORPG.

RuneScape offers so much to explore that it is nearly impossible for someone to experience everything. It takes place in the world of Gielinor, a fantasy realm divided into kingdoms, regions, and cities. It doesn’t follow a linear storyline, therefore players can choose what they can do, and set their own goals which are basically the foundation of role-playing games.

It has a massive number of active online players, updated in 2022, accounting for 500,000 players per month. This is huge and after two decades this much popularity proves this game’s worth and the level of excitement it supplies for the players.

4. Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 is another trending role-play game famous for its action-based gameplay. It is a sequel to previously Guild Wars by the same developers. This game was initially subscription-based same as its predecessor but after selling 5 million copies by August 2015, it became free-to-play. And by the end of 2021, the game rocked the market with 16 million accounts created.

Guild Wars take place in the fantasy world of Tyria. It focuses on the re-emergence of a guild called Destiny’s Edge dedicated to fighting Elder Dragons. Guild Wars’ storyline which is responsive to player actions makes the game so unique for a multiplayer game that thousands of players are spending hundreds of hours in Tyria.

In 2022, this game has accounted for between 400,000 to 600,000 players online per month. And uniquely, a rise of about 100,000 players has been seen outside the peak hours.

3. World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft was released in 2004 and is one of the major names among the MMORPGs. World of Warcraft is a subscription-based game that a user has to play the game full-fledged, but this didn’t give any hiccups to this game’s success. WoW had over 100 million registered accounts by 2014, and had a massive record-breaking revenue of $9.23 billion, making it one of the highest-grossing games ever.

World of Warcraft has not released the exact data but after checking on multiple websites, estimates show that WoW has roughly over 1 million active players per month.
