Pixel Art MMOs

Sprites over polygons — pixel art MMOs embrace the blocky, hand-drawn charm of retro-style graphics instead of chasing modern 3D fidelity. It's a look tied closely to the genre's earliest days, but far from outdated: plenty of new titles choose pixel art deliberately, valuing its nostalgic pull, distinctive character work, and the fact that a well-made sprite rarely looks worse with age the way early 3D models do. Lower system requirements are a welcome side effect, not the main draw. This tag covers pixel art MMOs and MMORPGs, from genre classics that helped define the look to modern indie titles keeping the pixel tradition alive.
