MMOs similar to World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft set the template most people still picture when they hear "theme park MMO": a guided path through story zones that funnels into dungeons, Mythic+ keys and raids where twenty players spend weeks learning a single boss. The games on this page share that backbone of group dungeons and raid-driven endgame. At one end sit full MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV, which has built its own long tradition around raid tiers and story expansions; at the other are games with a narrower online layer, such as Destiny 2 — no MMO-style open world to speak of, but its six-player raids demand the same coordination and the same memorized mechanics.
