OKY, Im not 100% sure I will play one very soon, but Im curious about MMOs in 2025. I used to play WoW around its release and up through Burning Crusade. Hows the MMO landscape in 2025? What are some good MMOs to try if I wanted to give one or two a shot?
I did play other MMOs than WOW here and there. Namely Aion, Guildwars 1 and other smaller ones.
I’m open to trying most types of MMOs and don’t mind subscribing monthly if it’s worth it. I’m especially curious about MMOs besides WoW (which would probably be the obvious choice), but I kind of want to try something different—even if WoW in 2025 is a completely different game compared to 2006
Oh btw. Doesnt need to be a MMORPG could be something like Foxhole or Ark as well. As long as its a game with servers and many players.
Thanks for any input 
Another user here mentioned this, but Guild Wars 1 is still active and its sequel Guild Wars 2 is good. The main story kinda drags but GW2 is free to play, or rather free to try out. If you want mounts and new abilities, you need to purchase the expansions, primarily, GW2: Heart of Thorns and GW2: Path of Fire. If you are into story content though, the expansions are where it's at. The content coming after the main GW2 story (which includes DLC called "Living World") is so good and intriguing!
The good thing about the expansions (and DLC) however is that they are buy once and play forever. GW2 is up to date with its newest expansion, Janthir Wilds, released last year, August 2024 and ArenaNet is committed to making new content for the game on a yearly basis, the parts of which are released quarterly (from the expac release dates in August).
Of course, if you want to re-live your earlier MMO days, Guild Wars 1 is still as good as you remember. I haven't played, but there are still players and a community and it's pretty big.
