The gaming YouTuber TheLazyPeon let his community vote on a tier list of current MMORPGs. He presents this in a video and adds his own ranking.
TheLazyPeon is known for numerous videos and streams about MMORPGs – both old and new, popular and unpopular, as well as upcoming releases. On YouTube, he now has over 700,000 subscribers, while on Twitch he has 79,000 (as of February 1, 2023). Among them are many MMORPG players who were able to express their opinions.
The YouTuber indeed let his community vote on which current MMORPGs they would rank in the respective tiers. The list ranges from S-tier to F-tier. They ranked 46 MMORPGs (and one survival game) that are currently published and still running. Shut down and upcoming games were not taken into account.
In his video, he promotes the survival game V Rising and includes it in the tier list for that reason. However, the game is not an MMORPG, so it actually does not belong on the list.
Where does the list come from? For the ranking, we refer solely to the community’s rating of the YouTuber and his opinion. Both are shared by TheLazyPeon within a 15-minute video on YouTube. We present the results here.
Community Ranking – Many Land in the F-Range
According to TheLazyPeon, about 5,000 viewers participated in the voting. He shares the results in the video with the words: “Don’t kill the messenger!”

Ranking of TheLazyPeon – No S-Tier Here Either
At the end of the video, the YouTuber presents his own tier list:
| S-Tier | – |
| A-Tier | Guild Wars 2 WoW: Dragonflight Final Fantasy 14 WoW WotLK Classic Black Desert Old School RuneScape New World Lost Ark The Elder Scrolls Online Albion Online (V Rising) |
| B-Tier | ArcheAge EVE Online Runescape 3 Star Wars: The Old Republic |
| C-Tier | Neverwinter Guild Wars The Lord of the Rings Online Lineage 2 Rift Blade & Soul Maple Story Project Gorgon Fantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis Dungeons & Dragons Online |
| D-Tier | Warhammer Online (private server) Vindictus Riders of Icarus Tower of Fantasy Allods Online Aion Embers Adrift Secret World Legends Trove DC Universe Online Conquer’s Blade Gloria Victis Final Fantasy XI Online Mortal Online 2 |
| F-Tier | Swords of Legends Online Adventure Quest 3D Skyforge Riders of Icarus Diablo Immortal League of Angels Heaven’s Fury Metin 2 Undecember Bless Unleashed |
None of the MMORPGs make it to S-Tier for him either. However, significantly fewer land in F-Tier than in his community. Notably, in both versions, similar MMORPGs are in A-Tier: Guild Wars 2, WoW, FFXIV, and Old School RuneScape.
What do you think of TheLazyPeon’s and his community’s tier list? Which version would you agree with more if you had to choose? Would you also not rank any MMORPG in S-Tier, or are there titles that would be worth the placement for you? Which game would clearly land in F-Tier for you?
