What kind of game is it? ArcheAge is a sandbox MMORPG with many freedoms and numerous possibilities for character development. You can choose three out of 13 different specializations and thus create one of a total of 220 classes.

Star Wars: The Old Republic
Developer: Electronic Arts | Setting: Sci-Fi | Release date: December 20, 2011 | Platform: PC
What kind of game is this? Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) is an MMORPG in the world-famous Star Wars setting. It focuses on the fully voiced story and requires moral decisions that either draw you to the light or dark side of the Force.
You choose from 8 classes, with 4 belonging to the Republic and 4 to the Empire. Each class also has its own storyline, which provides replay value. There are also different races, but those are paid.
Although the game is based on classic tab-targeting, it attempts to implement this in a more modern and dynamic way. In addition to the story, the MMORPG impresses with a good companion system, exciting raids in the endgame, and PvP content.
Recently, the major update “Chains in the Darkness” continued the exciting story.
