      You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

        It’s a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.

        I’ve been living under quite a rock then, haven’t heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)

        If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.

          What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

            checks Seems games as a service model that we know today really picked up steam at around the late 2010s. So, yeah…

          I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.

            I mean, yeah. Just don’t tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become since the phrase was formalized.

        I genuinely didn’t know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.
