Top 10 Forbes lists when
Da fuck is this list
Forbes doesnt know. New world probably paid for this article. If you look up New World it has the lowest number of active users. They have some new content coming out to try and save their game. They bought this article to seem cool. New world sucks
AI generated article for sure
I got into ff14 a few months ago and alot of my friends play mmo's, but I've never heard of New world how did it make the list
It's most likely a rage bait top 10 list. Also I'm pretty sure they separated the two World of Warcraft's is because they couldn't think of a good 10th game or something.
Wow is number 1 because it's still solid enough to warrant a sub fee still after 20 years instead of free to play garbage that nickle and dimes you with microtransactions for more bag space or to change your characters look.
I feel like even if you hate FF14, it's pretty clear by its success that it could pretty easily be in the top 3 this year. Our options are limited lol
The fact that you dont know why wow classic and retail are separated makes you look less informed than forbes
I'd say its number one, it might be easy to think "really its number one?" but can you honestly without a doubt rate any of the other games on that list higher than wow if you had to give them a number?
AI generated for sure
Considering that WoW is how many years old, still relevant, still with a semi dedicated playerbase, none of those other MMOs outside of maybe runescape has been online, out and relevant for as long as WoW has been, you can hate WoW all you want, but based on its sheer longevity of this game in a very competitive niche market…. yeah it belongs at number 1, if these other mmos are around 15-20 years from now, then we can talk about them dethroning WoW
I mean it could be the best mmorpg in the forbes office?
That's a weird way of saying WoW retail gets all the hate it deserves.
Eso my love
"I dunno why they separated WoW Retail and WoW" classic."
The words of someone who has never played them before.
If you played WoW Retail for a month then switched to WoW classic for a month you'd wholeheartedly agree they're essentially different games.
This article was paid for
New World isn't even that fun. It's a game of "oh piece of candy", and you farm a shit ton of materials to play.
Final Fantasy is on par with WoW, easily. WoW has an edge because they keep dumping expansions on top of expansions, clogging up feeds.
FF arguably is the better of the two, but I am NOT kidding you when I say I've played it and the INTRO to this game STARTS 80 hours in.
tell me you're paid by blizzard to make the ranking without telling me.
wow is listed twice, and higher than FF14, and retail is first.
never played FF14, but even i know it's higher than that XD
Weirdest list yeah. FF should've been way higher and Rs3, while gotten greater in later years hasnt toppled osrs. WoW defintely like osrs and rs3 shouldve been seperated. WoW is still king of Mmos.
Dog
I think the list makes some sense if you're looking at it from the perspective of where the games are right now. Retail WoW has gone from Shadowlands to 18 months of pretty solid gameplay changes and content updates. There is generally something to do and some new event taking place, with a content patch frequency that hasn't happened since vanilla WoW.
From what I've heard from FF14 players, they're going through a relative content drought right now until Dawntrail. It makes sense they'd be listed lower right now, especially lower than WoW Classic which has 2 major content updates happening and ESO which seems to be doing well too at the moment.
Id honestly put osrs into top 10 worse rn. The game doesnt know what it wants to be, the devs, community and reddit all want different things. I think itll be dead in 5 years
Skyrim.
Hey. ArenaNet. When will you make GW2 better ???
Shout out to the hybrid theory poster
wow retail is nr1. no mather how much people hate it wow has always ben and still is the nr1 MMORPG. even during those bad times in BFA and SL where people claimed FF had more people playing. no other MMO has had a higher stable playing population. some MMO's have had more players for a short while after new content releases but that disappears after the hype calms down.
WoW its just better.
I’d put ffxiv top five (not a fan tbh), but retail wow, aside from narrative/storytelling, has actually been pretty good this time around
Classic is so much better though.
Ill trust the real authority on the topic, Mr President of MMOs
Cause its the best mmo not the most played dur
FF14 goes on top, WoW goes on the bottom, and I dont really care about the stuff in between…
Eve Online is an odd pick for the list. Outside of the hardcore demo, it seems to really struggle to attract and hook players. Then again, it is fairly well known, especially in relative comparison to its population, so maybe the article's author just heard of the game and decided to include it to round out 10?
Also WoW retail makes enough sense to be on this list, and I would put it ahead of Classic for the time being, but number 1 is just wild
Ngl Forbes game reviews are usually very good y'all would be surprised. Especially compared to stuff like IGN
