The MMORPG genre is perhaps one of the most played genres in the game world. It's a genre that has been part of gamers since the debut of computer games and the Internet's first introduction to daily life. Which of us was able to get rid of Metin2 and Knight Online in time? We will take a look at the most popular games among MMORPG games, which also have an important place in our country. Let's talk before that, in this list we include games that have become popular in the Western region. Some major MMORPG games are currently only available to players in the Asian region. We think this would be fairer, as the games on the list are available all over the world, with exceptions. If you are ready, let's start from the 10th row with the legend of the years!
10. Star Wars: The Old Republic (400K)
Although Star Wars: TOR is an old production on this list, it ranks 10th in the list of the most played MMORPG games of 2021, narrowly surpassing MapleStory. The reason why MapleStory was not included in the list is that its huge player base is in Korea and Japan.
Star Wars: The Old Republic was released in 2011 for gameplay with a subscription system. It was later changed to F2P (Free to Play) and turned into subscription content alongside in-game purchases.
The vast majority of players complain that the servers are empty. However, it continues to be a favorite of the players with its magnificent story and nostalgic atmosphere. If you are a Star Wars series fan, you can give this game a chance even in 2021 with peace of mind.

9. Eve Online (500K)
Even though it is difficult and serious to get used to, Eve Online, which is in the 9th place, was in the seventh place in the lists of last year, despite the fact that the number of players was 200 thousand less than the current number of players. It seems that the vast majority of players have dived into MMORPG games during the COVID era. It must have been evident from the servers filling up and the resurrection of the old names.
Incredibly detailed and serious, Eve Online is for you if you have enough time, interest and of course seriousness. Be careful not to lose your spaceship because some ships can cost $33,000 (Real Money).
8. Guild Wars 2 (520k)
Guild Wars 2, which has been treated as a revolutionary MMORPG since its release in 2012, ranks 8th on the list with its astonishing combat system. Guild Wars 2 is a free-to-play MMORPG with around 520 thousand players, if you like fast-paced fighting mechanics, we recommend you take a look.
GW2, which has two expansion packs instantly, is one of the MMORPG games that you can play for free without a subscription system, with its extensive content.
7. Black Desert Online (700K)
Doubled the number of players this year, Black Desert Online has exactly 700 thousand players. Black Desert Online is a massive MMORPG game that you can play on all platforms and consoles.
You don't need to deal with monthly subscription systems to play BDO. Let's mention that it has PvP (players vs. players) focused gameplay, great graphics and animations. If you like PvP oriented MMORPG games, we suggest you give BDO a try. If you wish, you can watch and learn the game in detail on broadcast platforms and Youtube. Although it is not free, you can have it for only ₺19.

6. RuneScape 3 (770K)
Although not as popular as RuneScape 3, or simply RuneScape OSRS (Old School RuneScape), in general terms, it stands at number six on the list of the most played MMORPG games of 2021 .
You can access and play RuneScape for free. However, some content and expansion packs require payment. You've probably heard that RuneScape requires a lot of sitting and "twitching". True, but what game doesn't these days?
It would not be a lie to say that the most important thing is the audience of the game. You can meet and play with great players in the RuneScape community. We think you should give this game and its huge community a chance.
5. The Elder Scrolls Online (800K)
ESO won't be the fifth on this year's list of the most played open world games, but what else? Fans of the name Elder Scrolls are divided about this game. Some players like the brand's non-multiplayer series, some because they want to reach the heights of Skyrim. It's really hard to get where you want in ESO.
The Elder Scrolls Online is a great MMORPG, although it has bugs and bugs that need to be fixed. You only need to pay ₺40 for the game (discounted Steam price), no subscription system is required to play the game. However, if you buy the package called ESO+, you can have the incoming expansion packs and seasons of the game as they come for free. ESO+ also gives you unlimited storage, Crowns to trade and more. You can play this popular game not only on the PC platform, but also on consoles.

3. Old School RuneScape (1.6 Million)
Where are those old days? With nearly 1.6 million players, Old School RuneScape ranks third among the most popular MMORPG games of 2021 . It seems that old MMORPGs are more appealing to new players. The difference between RuneScape 3 and OSRS isn't just graphics. OSRS is also longer in gameplay and more difficult to reach the end of the game. Therefore, its shelf life is naturally longer.
The fighting mechanics are different, and Old School RuneScape doesn't include microtransactions, but looks at who has more DPS (damage per second).
OSRS is a more complex and longer term game. If the MMORPG game you are looking for sounds like RuneScape to you, we think you should give it a shot. If you haven't played a RuneScape game before, we recommend that you start with RuneScape 3, which is more modern, easier to get used to and already has a large player base, before starting OSRS.
2. Final Fantasy XIV (2 Million)
FFXIV, which maintained its rank last year, is also in the second place of this year's list. Did you know that it wasn't that popular in the year it was released, and that the producers almost had to remake the game because they messed up the game so much? Producer Square Enix promised players who bought FFXIV that it would be fixed in full and that they would get a free version as FFXIV: Reborn.
Final Fantasy XIV's story is as great as the other games in the series. However, the game can sometimes become complex and difficult. Apart from that, it has already established its throne in the hearts of the players with its great graphics, stunning fighting mechanics, huge world, different creatures and a whole community. We can say that the only minus of the game is the lack of PvP or the absence of in-game clans. There is a PvP system in the game, but it is not the kind of system that allows players to compete with each other while doing missions like other names.
Subscription systems are actively used to play the game. You can play the game for free up to level 60, but you may have to solo a little in the process. If you want to enjoy the game with your friends or strangers and take advantage of the DLCs, you can access all the contents of the game for only $10 per month.

1.World of Warcraft (4.5M)
World of Warcraft is the first on the list and the owner of the throne ! World of Warcraft is the most played MMORPG (perhaps all-time) game of this year, according to the predictions. Late last year, a major expansion pack was released by Blizzard. With the arrival of this package, the number of players skyrocketed to 7 million.
WoW is also among the most streamed games on Twitch. Twitch creator Azmongold has thousands of viewers on his streams every day.
With the arrival of WoW Classic, it continues to add hundreds of players to its community every day over the years. The latest expansion , Shadowlands , also holds the title of the fastest-selling PC game of all time.
We think that World of Warcraft is a must-play for MMO lovers. An engaging game for all kinds of MMO players, you can choose the PvP or PvE gameplay style in WoW or catch some of World of Warcraft's rarest mounts!
