    Games like World of Warcraft
    WoW released back in november of 2004, when MMORPG’s still weren’t a thing. It quickly gained popularity as it had a unique, innovative and player-friendly system, compared to the other few MMO’s that were out there. It had major success with it’s various expansions, the greatest one being (according to most players) Wrath of the Lich King. WoW has come a long way since then and has had many changes which has set some players off and prompted them to switch to different online games. In this article, we’ll look at some of the titles in this genre which are similar to WoW and potential alternatives you could try out for yourself!


    Here’s a list of some similar games to WoW
    Tera
    Tera online is your typical fantasy MMORPG but it has an action-based combat system and gameplay. When you play you have to manually dodge and block attacks which adds some mobility to the way you interact with enemies. It has a wide variety of races and classes to choose from and a unique and picturesque world to explore! There are seven unique races you can pick and start your adventure with - Aman, Baraka, Castanic, Elin, High Elf, Human, Popori. And a variety of different classes which include the Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Valkyrie, Mystic, Priest, Slayer, Sorcerer, Warrior, Reaper, Gunner, Brawler and Ninja. It’s a traditionally themed fantasy game set in a world known as Arborea. Each of the races has their own unique racial passive, which gives them an advantage in both PvP and PvE. The combat system is dynamic, which means you will have to aim some of your abilities and even dodge enemy abilities, that’s what some players look for in an MMO these days. The gameplay is fluid and seamless, which adds to the immersion and gives you a more direct and distinct experience, either while leveling through the zones or going through an epic dungeon! There is also the lore element, which takes players on an adventure they’ve never experienced before. The story itself will immerse you in the world and its many inhabitants! What makes it similar to WoW is the gameplay and some of the UI interface, its reminiscent of Vanilla WoW and the early days when everything was still new and people didn’t really know what they were doing and were just in it for the fun.


    Black Desert Online
    It’s a sandbox, wide open-world MMOPRG and it’s probably the most unique game on the Western Market today. It’s definitely a love or hate game, depending on the person of course, but most you’re most likely to be in one of these two sides. BDO is really hardcore and is reminiscent of the old-school Korean MMO’s of the late 90’s and early 2000’s, which were notorious for being really grindy and time-consuming. This is what may put some people off, because you can never really master everything here, you can only reach a certain level, because of the intricacies and fine details of the system. It can also be seen as a challenge for others who want to reach new heights in a new, fresh MMO! The very nature of the game suggests there is no max cap on professions or other things you can do and this can really teach you some things about economics and time management, as it relates closely to real life. Your character is quite important in this game and there is a huge variety of customization options to choose from! In fact, BDO probably has one of the most detailed and customizable character creation screen than any MMO out there. You can customize your whole body, body features such as limbs, torso and your head. Also you can tune fine details such as the shape of your nose, your eye width, eye color, eyelashes, hairstyles and much more. When we take a look at the outfits in the game we can see there is a huge variety here as well, although some of it is monetized and you have to spend real money to get it. Of course, this is just a cosmetic thing, which enhances your appearance and has no effect whatsoever on gameplay. However, there are some buy-to-win factors like Artisan memory among other things which speed up your leveling progress, which is essentially a pay to win method. Overall Black Desert Online has astonishing graphics and an expressive visual language that immerses the player in the world. You can get lost in the beauty and vast open fields or lush green forests and sparkling light-blue lakes and seas. It truly has a lot to offer in PvP as well, in the form of fast, action-based combat, which allows players fluid and rapid movement between attacks, which you can combo.


    Blade & Soul
    This title has seen great success in South Korea, where it quickly grew in popularity and player numbers, soon after coming to the US, Europe and other countries! It doesn’t have the typical MMO gameplay mechanics, instead it focuses on fast-paced, action based playstyle to grab its audience. It emphasizes on martial arts type of gameplay and there is water gliding and also out of combat gliding, which is like flying and is really fun to do!

    Hey, I don't linger on one game for too long, I don't even always go through them to the end. I love the process itself, I get a real childish pleasure when I discover new games. I spend most of my free time on Warcraft, because my friend recommended me buy boosting, and I have no problems with my profile and character in this game.
