Most indie based mmorpgs these days aren’t able to survive very long unless they got a loyal fanbase that supports their games via membership or microcurrency.

One of my friends used to play FusionFall which was a mmo created by cartoon network. Unfortunately it shutdown in 2013.

It is sad to see MMORPGs go down and considering that amount of time and effort that was used to make those games makes it a real shame that these things happen.
Lego Universe (LU for short) was a Lego MMORPG that i used to play and it was shut down because it was not apparently not meeting profit markings that Lego Group was aiming for or something like that. I really liked that game a lot and i kinda wished that i could play it again someday but i really doubt that LU will be revived by Lego Group, it doesn’t really seem like a possibility considering how things went down.

Disney also announced recently they’re shutting down Marvel Heroes

There is the saying, “all good things must come to an end”.

Dead MMORPGs tend to be the result of: decline in players, obsolescence of software, a successor to the MMORPG, unsuccessful marketing, or a new company acquisition. There are a lot of factors, and sometimes it’s just not viable keeping an MMORPG around forever.

When you have any of these factors, game developers end up losing money because they have to spend money to keep servers running and also to pay their employees. I think it’s easy for gamers to forget that making video games is a business.

Game has very bad graphics but has a good gameplay good quests and open world which is solid Action RPG game i didn’t like it too much but you should give it a try

Excellent gameplay ,graphic could be better.I was enjoying while I was playing it. Try it out

Sacred (2004) is an alright ARPG. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of games with an isometric camera view, but I kind of appreciate the way the overworld turned out since you can zoom out far enough to see much of the world’s scenery. Gameplay seems kind of nice though, since the game has six character types ranging from Dark Elf to Vampiress all with their own skill set. Game also seems to be story-rich, with the main antagonist being a necromancer named Shaddar. Overall, I’d rate this game a 4.3/5; I think it captures the fantasy experience well.

I prefer team fortress and guild wars 2 from that list 🙂

Runescape is still going strong after all these years, soon you’ll be able to play the old school RS on mobile.

Not the most appealing game when it comes to graphics. It’s pretty much a 2D tile-based turn-based MMO. Personally, I’d much prefer isometric 3D over 2D tile-based, or at least something that pops out more, or is just more colorful. But gameplay itself doesn’t seem too bad; it feels like an average strategy game. But overall, I’d rate this game a 2.5/5; game just isn’t as interesting as other strategy games out there.

Really like this game. Looks very impressive for an MMORPG from 2005 with a substantial amount of features. Game even features mounts, and not just mounts, but flying mounts, which some MMOs to this day don’t even have. PvP and combat seems pretty good as well. Personally I wouldn’t play it since it is well over a decade old now, but I think the game is more remarkable than a lot of other MMOs around the 2005 time period. Overall, I’d rate this game a 4.5/5.

It’s kind of a cool MMO. Game feels closer to an oriental themed MMO since it has oriental building designs, characters with kimonos and other oriental garbs, and oriental landscape with lakes and bamboos. Not really much to the gameplay itself though other than factions and questing. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3.5/5.

Kind of old and doesn’t have good graphics. I’ve seen other games from 2008 with much better graphics, but the graphics in this game feel more like early 2000s graphics. But for an MMORTS, it is kind of unique; the world is huge and you have control over 3D space. But for $20, I don’t think the game is really worth it; it just feels underdeveloped, and I’m surprised the game even lasted until 2011. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3/5.

Decent free online RPG game with 3D graphic,nothing special,in my opinion,i saw many better than this

I’ve seen better games than this so I’m not sure what to say other than do not play this game there’s a lot better the graphics, gameplay and features they’re all fine but I’d rather play the better ones. 🙂

I think Gekkeiju Online is impressive. Hard to believe that it’s from 2003, so they must have done some overhaul to the game, because it looks more contemporary than games back then. And from what I’ve seen, this game did have some cool features like synchronized emotes and Oculus rift-mode. However, the gameplay looks alright. I’d give this game a 3.85/5.

This game doesn’t really compare to Pokémon in my opinion, and it is a bit boring. Game has an isometric world (not really my favorite) and feels closer to a traditional RPG and MMORPG with four playable characters, guilds, etc. It does have monster taming and collecting, with over 1,000 monsters, but nothing really feels special about the monsters other than being able to use them in battles. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3/5; it’s kind of underwhelming, and I think there are better creature-collection MMOs out there such as Temtem.

Graphics is kind of bad, especially the overworld with the textured graphics. But the concept of this game is pretty cool since it features cars. I don’t know any other turn-based game with tactical car combat, so this game is unique, and you have tons of vehicle customization. But overall, I’d rate this game a 4/5; only thing that would make this game stand out more is improving graphics.

With Your Destiny (WYD) Global doesn’t seem too bad, though it is kind of old, dating back to 2003. Apparently JoyImpact has started remaking the game and updating the graphics as of 2019, but I can’t really tell much difference between 2021 footage of this game and 2010 footage of this game. Gameplay seems pretty decent though; not a lot of game modes for the war modes since it’s just three modes, but the Battle of Kingdoms mode seems interesting since it’s described as being similar to a MOBA. I’d probably rate this game a 3.33/5; game just seems to emphasize ‘rivalry of kingdoms’ as its core theme rather than enriching exploration, so the game doesn’t really interest me all that much.

It’s an old FPS game that dates back to 2004 for Korea (where the game was known as Special Force) and 2007 for North America (where the game became known as Soldier Front). Graphics looks kind of outdated though, but for it’s time, I think this would have been a fun shooter. It seems to have 11 game modes which is actually quite impressive for a game this old. The game was owned by ijji, but was later acquired by Aeria Games, and the game seemed to have shut down in 2016, but there is a sequel to the game called Special Force 2 which seems to be an improvement. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3.9/5; I think there are more modern shooter games out there worth playing over this older shooter game.

Graal Online is decent former free to play online video game,it has several modes which are very interesting graphic is good too,so I suggest this game everybody

Not bad; I kind of see a strong resemblance of this game to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, especially with the pixel art graphics and the combat to some extent. Probably not the most original, but it does have MMO elements like character customization, interaction with other players, and guilds, so that’s kind of nice. GraalOnline Classic is also available on iOS and Android, so that’s convenient. But overall, I’d rate this game a 3.7/5.

This game is cartoonish slash MMORPG with decent graphics, gameplay is solid….The game at all is not bad there are alot items and posibilities worth checking out

Game feels too saturated with bright colors and the 3D models are dated. Also not a fan of the isometric overworld since you really have no control over the camera. Game does have PvP though, so that’s nice, but the game is kind of grindy since you have to defeat monsters to level up; you don’t even get a class until level 10, and you only get a tier 2 class once you reach level 40. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3/5; it just isn’t as fun compared to other MMORPGs.

Kind of a cool game, though graphics are a bit dated since this game is from 2006. I like the Western theme though; for instance, the game has a saloon, has cowboys, etc. Also the game is quite unique for this genre, especially since there aren’t a lot of tactical strategy games with a Western theme. And I think it’s kind of cool how it’s a hybrid between RTS and turn-based strategy. Overall, I’d rate this game a 4/5; main thing that could be improved are the graphics.

It’s actually not too bad. There’s actually a re-release for this game, a 2016 re-release and a 2018 re-release, but the re-releases seem no different from the original, at least graphically. Game actually seems pretty good though; it has action RPG elements like hack ‘n slash combat and is somewhat comparable to Diablo. Game does have some bugs, but I think Nordic (the developers) fixed some of them in the 2016 version, but I’m not exactly sure. This game does include co-op multiplayer, so that option is great. Overall, I’d rate this game a 4/5; I kind of wish the 2016 and 2018 versions were remasters rather than just re-releases.

Game is described as being a racing MMORPG, which just sounds like a unique combination. This game has single player missions, but it also has team car racing and PvP for multiplayer. It actually looks fun to play. Artwork is pretty good as well, especially since it’s cel-shaded; it’s actually quite remarkable that a game from 2007 can look and feel great. Overall, I’d rate this game a 4.5/5; this game just feels ahead of its time.

Pretty good space-themed combat simulation game. Actually looks great for a PC game from the year 2000 since it has a 3D environment. Also has elements of an RTS game like building bases and mining. Game is kind of old that it probably isn’t worth playing today, but at its time, I think it was unique. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3.9/5.

Seems kind of underrated, but I think this game’s pretty cool. Feels a lot like MapleStory, especially since the game is a side-scroller MMO. Artwork looks pretty decent and the game has arena based PvP which is neat. Unfortunately, the game isn’t as good as MapleStory, but it’s actually not a bad alternative to MapleStory. I probably wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference just from looking at the two games, but overall, I’d probably rate Windslayer a 4/5.
