MMORPGS that have no players but are still online

MMORPGS are massive games that throw you into a world where you can fight monsters, take tasks, explore dungeons and work with others. The main aspect of MMO, as its name suggests, is the ability to play with other players, and most of the content of games is oriented to the group.

Since most MMORPG lives and dies with their community, the strong retention of players is absolutely necessary. However, no game can last forever and the fate of each MMO is an empty world that has once been filled with life. Below we look at several MMOs that are still alive and digging, but in fact, finding another person he plays with is almost impossible.

Crack

Rift is one of the worst cases online, but the dead MMO we have seen. The game started in 2011 for massive success, with more than a million active players over the first few years. However, this popularity did not last, perhaps partly because of better offers that appear at about the same time as Guild Wars 2 and Relaunch Final Fantasy 14.

In the end, in 2018, Rift introduced progressive servers that were eventually successful, but it did not help maintain long -term players and these servers were finally closed and merged back into the main live game. It is only a few hundred active daily players who have enrolled in the empty world.

The worst part is that looking at Steam reviews you can see that people playing rift still enjoy their time; The only problem is the lack of players. Although these several last possessions can keep servers alive for now, it seems that only a matter of time before the game is completely turned off.

Savior

Tree of Savior is an isometric action of MMORPG with unique stylized art, satisfying playing, great music and lots of classes. The only problem is the experience of a new player who goes beyond the dull waste, which leads many new players to stop very soon.

The existence of the P2W mechanics, such as the need for Gachy for classes, certainly does not help and now only a few hundred people call the tree of the Savior of their home. It is a pity, because the above fight, artistic style and playing deserve recognition.

Anarchy online

Anarchy Online is a sci-fi MMO, which was originally launched in 2001, but has always tried to maintain players. Now the game is the Pustina, and the developers seem to have left the game, while the latest news update was in 2023 to celebrate the 22nd anniversary.

Despite this, online anarchy is somehow online and playable, just don't expect to see any other players. The game itself has the most impressive depth in the building, with some fun and unique courses you can play with.

Istaria: Chronicles of the Garted

Istaria largely looks like a relatively stereotypical MMORPG from 2000, but its playable dragons distinguished it from the competition and offer a completely separate game experience from their bipedal counterparts.

While the game was certainly unique at the time, the years were not exactly kind to Istaria and now its unique struggle does not justify its low number of players and subscription costs (which are technically necessary if you want to go through level 15).

Bless unleashed

Unlike many other MMORPGs on this list, at least ten years old, Bless Online is a relatively recent addition to the genre, which originally launched in 2018 before it was re -launched in 2021 as Bless Unleashed. Despite his confusing rereels and various versions, Bless Unleashed is a solid MMORPG, with an entertaining action fight and an open world survey.

However, its lack of Polish, abundance of P2W elements and a faint translation means that most players have not adhered to their re -re -registered year 2021. Now the game is basically in maintenance mode and has not received a significant update of content in months.

Meridian 59

Meridian 59 is one of the oldest MMORPGs that are still running. Meridian 59 was released in 1996 and was one of the first 3D MMOs, so don't expect the least graphics or mechanics. Yet the game promoted the 3D MMO landscape and transformed the genre from what were basically celebrated chat rooms into a full RPG.

Although the Meridian 59 was released almost 30 years ago, it is still online, although with only a few dozen active users. The introduction of the game is not true that it is not very friendly to beginners and many new players involved quite quickly and leave only devoted veterans, of which few will reduce them.

Wurm Online

Wurm Online is a quarantine MMORPG whose world is completely built and operated by its players. With one of the deepest craft system systems in any MMORPG, Wurm Online provides the assumption that every player could go to the famous person.

You can become a reliable blacksmith, a craft instrument and weapons for your city, a brave adventurer, discovering and mapping a new country, farmers, providing crops to your kingdom or anything else. This is possible due to the enormous number of systems of progression of the skills of playing with individual skills for things such as the production of paper or milking cows.

Although this complexity and depth sounds incredible on paper, in practice, it is expected to crush over hundreds of hours for hundreds of hours to make any progress, and the complexity of many Wurm's interconnected systems can be for new players outside Phutting. Yet it is a pity that one of the only games that actually brings the assumption “you can be anyone you want” has not been unnoticed for so long.

Eldevin

Eldevin is an independent MMO in the style of an old school that is inspired by games like Runescape. The game follows a classless system of progression with six talented trees in which they invest, which form basic archetypes such as Warrior, Ranger or Mage. There are also fourteen professions at a level that includes an extensive non-combat aspect of the game, such as agriculture, leather, cooking, etc.

Eldevin is basically every main aspect of MMORPG, which you can think of being in one general package. In fact, there is nothing that distinguishes the game from others in the genre, which is most likely why players have not met. Despite the fact that he has not received any significant updates since 2016, Eldevin is still online, but with so many other options you have to wonder why.

2

Everquest

While the Meridian 59 could have been the first 3D MMORPG, Everquest was the first 3D MMORPG to be commercially successful and gained a massive gaming base when it was launched in 1999. Everquest basically changed the trajectory of the early MMORPGS, and without it we would not have a classic like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14.

The Everquest player, however, mostly moved on, but a few small sticks around, mainly because of the time locked progressive server. In principle, it is soft re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -re -renewing and expansion is slowly released throughout the server life.

These usually see a high increase in players, but most move on when the first expansion they do not like to start again. It is an unstable cycle of experiencing the golden days of everquest, but it seems that the game keeps alive, at least for now.

Guild

Guild Wars is technically MMORPG, but is more structured as a single player RPG with multiplayer elements. In principle, you will see players in central areas and cities, but as soon as you go outside, you will be alone if you decide a party with others or do not bring NPC with you.

More than 20 years after the start of the game, many players are expected to be not online, but the above -mentioned aspects of multiplayers worsen this problem, so the vast world feels even empty. Most players also moved to the sequel Guild Wars 2, despite their differences in the game.

Unlike many games on this list, where the secret is how the game still works, Guild Wars keeps only two devotees, which ensures smoothly that servers are running. The game does not have to receive any new content updates, but it is still a great RPG, even on your own.
