MMORPG update

Since the popularity explosion of MMORPGs, the rate of new MMORPGs appearing in the gaming world is about 1 every year. However, it takes a lot of time, money and effort to make a name for an online game, especially when its new and unheard of.

An MMORPG would typically earn its fame through three different methods., one of which
is by advertising their game months before the alpha and beta releases. Another way is by word of mouth; this way may bring fame to an MMORPG depending on the speed and frequency of information. The final way is price; yes, the price of an MMORPG and the cumulative payments is a major deciding factor in most of the modern MMORPGs.

e.g:
A player would rather spend more money on an MMORPG with better graphics, interactions and game play than on a cheaper or even free MMORPG with lower quality graphics, interactions and game play.

And so, i will now share with you a list of MMORPGs that have been noted "worth playing". The list compiled below shows the top ten MMORPGs to date (based on popular votes), courtesy of www.the-top-tens.com.

1) Final Fantasy XI
2) World of Warcraft
3) Runescape
4) EVE online
5) Guild Wars
6) Dark Age of Camelot
7) Maple Story
8) Lineage 2
9) Everquest 2
10) City of Heroes / Villians

The full list of MMORPGs based on popularity
(including games not in the top 10) can be found here.

What do you mean when you say: "the rate of new MMORPGs appearing in the gaming world is about 1 every year."???

I don't think that is true coz there is a new title each month, even each fortnight.

To the first anonymous: yea my bad i messed up on that one. ill be more careful on future posts.

To the second anonymous: Yes WoW does have 4 times more player compared to XI but in terms of popularity voting, XI gets the top place.

It seems that people prefer the superior storyline of XI (which centers more on quests rather than leveling) rather than the level grinding of WoW.
