1. MMO's are nowadays filled with these lewd Chinese games that are made to steal your cash.

2. ESO Reeel solid now, i play it often

3. Theres a difference between MMO and MMORPG.
   The first one sucks because its almost 100% fremium crap

4. anyone commenting from 2018 MMOs live on in Survival games. (Rust)

5. Well my favorite MMO in general these days is Final Fantasy 14 And as for Free to play I've played a few and liked Elsword a fair bit due to not needing a super high end computer to run it and it being simplistic in style (and free, had no money when I first started playing haha XD )

6. lotro is still going pretty strong in 2018

7. No

8. #thiswasjustforthesponser

9. Wow is still better

10. and game of war was never heard from again except for thelegend27

11. the use of anti social personality disorder in this video is disastrous

12. Didn't mention RuneScape. smh

13. Warframe is still going

14. I hate mobile games. Every now and then you find a good one, but sadly, most of them have the same mechanics and game play that one would think they were only reskinned.

15. I would advise you to play Warframe.

16. Hey man, dont dunk on MUDs, they had some pretty compelling stuff.

17. Solution, go play runescape.

18. Or you could just be like Star Citizen and crowdfund your mmo

19. Its not dead

20. Cough* Cough* SAO

21. The problem is that children gamers' population are growing drastically. In my country alone, you see ten year olds screaming at their computers and computer shops playing with their friends and someone else online playing Free-to-Play MMOs. And being children, they do not want to purchase those 15$/month subscription. They would, being practical, choose F2P Games..

22. MMORPG WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IT WON'T DIE

23. Warlords of Draenor tried out this "make MMO's into a F2P phone app" strategy. Ask Blizzard how that worked out for them. Hint: Not well

24. Pokemmo? Anybody?

25. Fortnight…

26. ?

27. EDGRRRRR

28. ..MATIO..V..

29. Texting tornado

30. TUBE TIRANT

31. ..V..INDICTIVE ..V..igilanty

32. The free to play model is not a bad thing at all. I used to have the same initial “ehhhhhh” feeling towards them but Warframe changed my entire perspective on it. That’s a game that is totally free and one you can ACTUALLY excel at without ever buying currency with real money.
    I’m glad you pointed out that MMOs are evolving

33. Can we all take a second to appreciate Warframe.
