Ironically The Best MMORPG To Play In 2023…

In 2023 and the past 5-10 years I’d personally say MMORPG genre has been in a state of stagnation, for a long time it hasn’t really been “the hype genre” MMOs aren’t really considered cool by the younger generation and for the past 2 years whenever I’ve made my end of year MMORPG tier lists whether it’s been community voted or subjective opinion, nothing has made it into the S Tier.

In fact looking back when was the last time we truly had an S Tier MMORPG for its time?
You’d have to easily go back 15 years to when MMOs were at their peak popularity to find such a game, a few that come to mind would be Vanilla WoW, TBC WoW and Wrath of the lich king WoW, Runescape was definitely S tier from 2005-2007, Everquest and Ultima Online would also probably be considered S Tier for the time and there’s probably many others such as Maplestory, Lord Of The Rings Online, Guild Wars 1, Dark Age Of Camelot and Age Of Conan that were also easy high A tiers during their time of release when the MMORPG genre was at its most popular.

During my recent MMORPG tier list though there was one MMORPG that I overlooked, an MMO that I didn’t put on the list and if you play it a certain way It’s got potentially thousands of hours of replayable, highly engaging content in which every play session is an adventure…ironically, it could be the best MMORPG to play in 2023

So what do you think about the best mmorpg to play in 2023? do you agree with the MMO I mentioned in this video and do you see modern gaming monetization pushing more people to classic hardcore MMO experiences? let me know in the comments below!

Ironically The Best MMORPG To Play In 2023 Description

First let’s briefly explain what WoW Hardcore is…
Basically if you die once you delete your character and start again
No trading, no grouping in the open world, no bubble hearth for paladins, no asking for buffs or help and each dungeon you can only do once but only if you group with other hardcore characters, basically a self-reliant mode that for a long time has been enforced with the “Hardcore” addon and by playing on unofficial Hardcore servers.
Hardcore has been a community that’s been around for a number of years at this point however in 2023 It’s really blown up in popularity thanks to streamers and content creators bringing more attention to it… This mode has become so popular that most of the top WoW Streams on Twitch are Hardcore streams, it’s incredibly entertaining content to watch and recently It’s become so popular that Blizzard have announced that there will be official hardcore servers coming soon which will have a few cool additions such as Duel to the death as well as a few other differences from unofficial mode.

What makes WoW Classic Hardcore so unique in 2023 is that It’s the only MMORPG out where the main goal is to reach max level, once you’ve hit 60 you’ve basically beaten the challenge and any additional content you do post 60 is an optional bonus, this is in contrast to other MMOs where the levelling process and sense of progression associated with it feels very temporary, somewhat meaningless and just something you go through the motions of doing as a right of passage until you reach the real content at end game which usually consists of raiding or PVP.

    I remember starting out as an undead rogue and struggling to kill duskbats for their ruined hide because i kept aggroing more than one enemy and potions are on cooldown. Making silver was difficult enough let alone making gold

    Do you just not like things when they're old? Honestly, LOTRO still seems the closest to what you say you want.
    Edit: actively maintained, about the journey, proper raids, unscummy monetisation… just old GFX. (Pity their DDO is scummier in comparison 🙁 )

    If there is someone who can help me build a game. We can make history. I have some name ideas and a wholly thought-out view of gameplay. Of course, we will work together to make the best online game. I will change the genre altogether. We can create a team, and we will make it the next generation of online games.

    Everquest 25 or more years ago, and experiencing wow for the first time. Black Desert is very nice. But I wish it allllllĺllllllll would come together and let the people, the community guide the games growth. And no more OP, Pay to Win, just a real community from cooks, to soldiers, to tailors and farmers. Everything.

    Classic FF11 is like hardcore though death is milder where you die and lose 10% of xp and you can de level as a result of it with no monetizing of gear or currency although the private servers have abuse due to bots and insiders abusing their priviledges.

    i left wow just last year and i found final fantasy fourteen online. ill never go back. the story is second to none.

    Lotro has a lot of installation issues.

    They’ve just devolved into creating the same game over and over. ESO is WoW on Nirn.

    I know I’ll get shredded for saying it, but Bless is the best I played in years. Built by and absolute garbage company though.

    Has all the bells and whistles. The combat is and skills require you to do more than mash buttons.

    But they keep reskinning the game and not prioritizing little things, like making sure all dialogue is voiced and the fonts are uniform in the UI. Positively bizarre dev decision. But their unforgivable practice of rereleasing the same game, upgraded, but not honoring player purchases on the old edition of the game…they’ve positively destroyed what is otherwise a really good IP.

    For MMO to go mainstream again you need one with black desert online pvp covered by a lot of western streamers and that is free to play with no pay to win and only pay for cosmetic. And good graphics.

    A fucking UI simulator. The gamevisl Ike 80% in your face UI

    Agree to disagree, I've never enjoyed any version of WoW produced by blizzard. The emulators at best offer passable content and non toxic community. If you'd said Ascension I would have at least controlled my flinch reaction.

  • @PetterNe

    June 4, 2024 - 3:17 pm

    I was about to fast forward past the sponsor talk. Glad I didn’t. I haven’t played a mobile game in years, but it looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

  • @dandromeda1

    June 4, 2024 - 3:17 pm

    Im sorry..
    But anyone who thinks runescape was ever an S-tier mmorpg, doesn't know what their talking about at all.
    It's a glorified clicker mobile game that survives on nostalgia.

    If it released today, even with great graphics, everyone would hate it and call it out for the garbage it is.

    I always play MMORPGs like you described for hardcore players, but I am a very old-school style player who has been playing MMOs since 1998.

    Guild Wars 2 IMO. Great game, great graphics.

    There at least was a hardcore server for original EQ in the late 2000s. Remember my uncle talking about it and me being like, "fuck that!"

    Stay overseas you absolute Sally. Sparring on video is for your kind.

    WoW Hardcore sounds cool, but it's still a 20 year old game. That isn't fun.

  • @nicolasbouchard6331

    June 4, 2024 - 3:17 pm

    I think we all need an mmorpg as immersive as kingdom come deliverance with chivalry combat. Like the star citizen of medieval games

  • @Francois424

    I miss classic FFXI (before Abyssea and subsequent expansions destroyed the soul of the game and made it a solo experience for 95% of the game).
    As for WoW, I was quite happy giving them my money to play TBC Classic, but they decided they didnt want my money anymore and forced-upgraded their CLASSIC SERVER into a more modern version of the game without keeping at least ONE TBC server… Oh well. At least I had fun in WoW for a year…. to be honest since I didnt think I'd ever play WOW ever again, I'll take that as a Win.

    I have no interest in HC wow personally, but I totally get why some ppl do, enjoy yourselves guys 🙂

    Mmorpg is one of the hardest and expensive genres to get into as a dev. I still hold out hope for someone to deliver us from microtransaction 🙏

  • @xsvin3749

    Ugh, WoW – I think I was a little too old and in the Navy when WoW was in the heyday and I just missed the boat. I've tried it and just don't like it. I know it's beloved by many, but never my cup of tea. The most interesting I've played in recent years, which also has BIG problems, is Black Desert. At least the combat is super engaging. I think FFXIV is superior as well, but just so damn BORING in the first 30 or so levels.

  • @cosmicsage3468

    Could play Asherons Call and come back, We have much more lively community now

    I leveled every class on every challenge in hard core. It was a piece a cake. Just don't do anything stupid or dumb like most people that play this game.

  • @Ym-oi2we

    so generic and predictable

  • @Setuaro

    June 4, 2024 - 3:17 pm

    "WoW Class-"
