MMORPG

MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) is the genre that started the entire MMO industry — and it's still the backbone of it. A character you grow from nobody to server legend, a world shared with thousands of other players at once, and an economy, guild structure, and PvP scene that keep running whether you're logged in or not: those three pillars are what actually define an MMORPG. It's the format that set the standard for what "MMO" even means — a persistent world, role-playing progression, and a living community instead of a solo campaign. This section covers the catalog, news, guides, and release calendar for MMORPGs of every kind, from genre-defining classics like World of Warcraft and Lineage II to the new titles shaping where the genre goes next.
