What is this article about? We at MeinMMO have looked at the MMORPGs on Steam and checked which ones have the best ratings. It was important to us that
- it is truly an MMORPG (the tags are set by players and not by the developers)
- the game title is still actively expanded and is not already in “Maintenance Mode”
- the games have received at least 1,000 reviews in order to achieve comparability
We ended up with ten games, among which there are some surprises. For the indicated player numbers, we relied on data from the website steamcharts.com.
The article was originally created by Alexander Leitsch, who has played many of these titles himself and has dealt extensively with them. Since March 2024, MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz has taken over the updating of the list.
