The Lost Age of MMOs

Explore perspectives on the old and current ages of MMOs. Bygone eras, modern grinds and satellite genres tell a timeline of the industry. What was the genre once, and what could it be again? Relive the early 2,000s era of RuneScape, World of WarCraft, Star Wars Galaxies, and Anarchy Online. Remember the semi-modern MMOs you might still play such as Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy XIV and The Elder Scrolls Online. Then, delve into the state of things now: Eastern behemoths such as Black Desert Online, Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty.
