MMO RPGs are online projects that place a lot of emphasis on following the storyline, but in a way that the player chooses.
You will choose your hero, select a race and class, and develop your character as you see fit.
All large and fundamental projects that began the development of the genre, or contributed to the success of the trend, added something of their own to the industry, which is actively used by other developers and adds uniqueness to the project.
World of Warcraft
One of the most important and fundamental projects that introduced the MMO RPG format and added its own unique features and mechanics that other developers use in their projects.
Two factions, like two sides of a conflict
In WoW there are two large factions, which include many races – the Horde and the Alliance, which are in irreconcilable hostility and once you choose one side, you will no longer be able to change it, and you will always have constant enemies and allies.
This means that all locations after level 20 will be common, and you will always have a chance to encounter enemies and fight for key spots to gain experience and WoW gold.
Victories over the enemy will bring you special coins of valor, which you can accumulate and spend on purchasing special equipment and weapons with high performance and characteristics that have enhancing effects in PVP.
Lineage 2
A project from NC Soft, which introduced into the gaming industry and MMO RPGs the format of leveling up in locations without quests, only by hunting monsters alone, or as part of a group, with fighting in spots for the best mobs, experience and adena – the local currency of L2.
PVP has an important role in the project because players always have to share spots with the best monsters and often join clans and declare wars to constantly fight with certain players with whom there is a conflict of interest.
Sieges
In Lineage 2 there are castles that are closely associated with each major city and the clan that owns the castle has the right to tax the city itself and receive a percentage of each transaction and sale of players.
The most valuable is Aden, which is the capital and collects income not only from the main city, but also from all the cities that are located on the continent.
Runa is a castle that also collects tribute from three cities.
Giran is a large trading city, which, even without connections with other regions, collects a large percentage within two weeks, because most of the activities and trade transactions take place there.
Every two weeks, level 5 clans have the right to register for the assault or defense of one of the castles, and within two hours everyone will have the opportunity to change the ruler in battle, who will hold the castle for at least two weeks and then fight again for ownership.
To capture the castle you need to break through the outer and inner gates and read the seal, which lasts 2 minutes and then the owner of the castle will change.
The clan that owns the castle at the end of the siege will win.
The most interesting format of sieges is that hundreds and thousands of players can come together in battles, fighting against each other.
The attackers must break through all stages of the defense and destroy all the crystals, which speed up the process of the defenders returning to battle again and if you destroy them all, the return time will be increased from 30 seconds to 8 minutes.
You will fight when leaving the peaceful city, in the PVP zone, on the walls of the castle and in the inner hall. Clan leaders will combine the actions of unions and alliances to prevent enemies from advancing and even try to cast a seal to change the owner of the castle.
If the owner of the castle changes during the siege, the gates, walls and crystals will be restored, and all efforts will need to start again
Destiny 2
An MMO RPG shooter from Bungie that combines shooter mechanics and space exploration.
You will join other players who are repelling a major invasion of alien invaders.
You will be able to choose one of three heroes and begin your journey of leveling up, developing and studying the storyline, grinding on locations and destroying monsters, storming dangerous zones and territories that are filled with difficult enemies and a boss at the head – for winning such dungeons you will receive new and unique weapons that will help in further character development and PVP mode.
You will always have the opportunity to abandon the main gameplay mechanics and simply explore space and planets, so as part of the Lightfall update you will be able to go to Neptune and fully explore one of the most distant planets in the solar system.
Full-fledged shooter
Shooting and accuracy play a key role and if you shoot in the head and constantly work on improving your weapons, you will progress very quickly and at the same time study space.
Final Fantasy 14
A project from the Squire Enix studio, which is built on the concept of hero development and story mode, which dates back to the first single-player project and the story of Cloud and Tifa.
You will go through a storyline, which, according to the developers, will take at least 100 real hours.
FF 14 took a lot of ideas from World of Warcraft and Lineage 2 and added to the core mechanics.
You can even just fly over the territories if you complete the first flight quest and get your first flying pet and can take off and move through the air. This mechanic does not cancel fast movements in any way and is more of a visual effect.
The player will be able to fully experience his own influence on the entire storyline due to his presence in all video cutscenes and videos personally, after creating his character.
If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series, starting with the console and PC versions, then in the online MMO you can not only find out the continuation of the entire story, but also the fate of many main and minor characters, who will also end up in the world of FF 14.
