We’re ranking the all current most popular MMORPGs from best to worst. From vast lands to explore, skills to unlock, and abilities to upgrade, MMORPGs give gamers a unique sense of accomplishment that most other genres can’t even come close to replicating. Short for "Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game," the best MMORPGs have the ability to transport players to a whole other world.

Epic open-world games like World of Warcraft have helped bring MMORPGs into the mainstream, giving gamers more choices and titles to choose from than ever before. With fan-favorite games like The Elder Scrolls Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and 2011’s Rift, did your favorite MMORPG make the list?

Upvote the best MMORPGs and watch as your favorite titles top the list. And if your favorite MMORPG isn't listed, be sure to add it so other gamers can give it a go.
