Weeks ago, we wanted to know from you which MMORPG or online game has the best endgame. Here are the results!
There are many MMOs and online games on the market. While games can often excite during the leveling phase and offer plenty of story or exciting questlines, the endgame in many games is rather poor. Other games only really start when reaching the maximum level and provide plenty of content. This keeps the game exciting at the highest level and guarantees some great hours.
Weeks ago, we asked you which MMO offers the best endgame. You chose your winners – and the votes were clear!
1st Place: World of Warcraft
With an overwhelming majority of the votes, World of Warcraft won the vote for the game with the best endgame. 37% of all submitted votes felt that no other game can match the endgame of WoW.
There are many reasons for this.
The most important reason is that Blizzard has delivered a continuous stream of fresh content with Legion. Just shortly after the release of Legion, the Emerald Nightmare opened its doors, was soon replaced by the Trial of Valor, before the Nighthold also came.
In summary, it can be said that there were new raids or dungeons roughly every 12 weeks in Legion – a clear record for Blizzard that has been appreciated by the fans.
But even if one is not into PvE and PvP, there are still plenty of other activities that can be pursued. The extensive “Pet-Battle” system with hundreds of different pets has captivated many players, and the hunt for achievements, titles, or the search for particularly rare toys is also exciting.
All these reasons have made World of Warcraft count as the MMORPG with the best endgame in our community.
2nd Place: The Elder Scrolls Online
In The Elder Scrolls Online, there are only a few designated “endgame” contents because – with some exceptions – the game always scales with the respective character level. Thus, a variety of zones is already available at the start for heroes to explore.
As a traditional “endgame,” there are only particularly hard dungeons and raids. But if the entire game fundamentally counts as “endgame” due to scaling, then it offers a lot of choices and does exactly what fans of Skyrim have always wanted. Regardless of whether it’s quests or PvP, thanks to the scaling, most content is always available when you want to enjoy it!
It is therefore not surprising that The Elder Scrolls Online lands in 2nd place with 9% of the votes.
3rd Place: Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV is considered one of the prime examples of what a fundamental overhaul can do for a mediocre MMORPG. In its second version, Final Fantasy XIV is more popular than ever, not least due to the many goals players can pursue even after reaching the maximum level.
Since in Final Fantasy every character can play all classes, these also need to be leveled separately – which takes some time. Overcoming all Primals in “Extreme” mode is likely to keep players entertained for several weeks, as well as constantly updating the relic weapon and, of course, the hunt for the highest item level, to continue to withstand new dangers in the game.
Those who still want more can get lost in crafting or look for clothing items to have the perfect look through “Glamour”.
In summary, Final Fantasy XIV offers a thoroughly solid endgame that does not have to hide from other MMOs.
All these things grant Final Fantasy XIV a solid third place with 8% of the votes.
