The only MMORPGs Mac users can usually play are browser MMORPGs, but after Googling around for a bit, I learned that some client based MMORPGs are also Mac compatible. Considering Mac users only make up for ~5% of the market share for operating systems, it's not surprising that most game developers opt not to develop Mac compatible versions of their MMORPGs. I’m also not including MMO shooters, MMO simulators, and MMOARPGs so sorry Marvel Heroes, Second Life, and Realm of the Mad God.There seems to be a new free to play MMORPG released every week these days, but even with the immense growth of the genre, very few MMORPGs are Mac compatible.

This means that World of Warcraft does not make the list because the starter account level 20 cap doesn’t really have anything worth mentioning. These five games are fairly different and encapsulate the majority of what the MMORPG scene is, and the other free MMORPG’s would just rehash the content in these games.Īs with the last article, this is only meant for free to play MMORPGs that do not require purchase to get a true MMORPG experience. Also, this list has five items rather then ten because I didn’t think certain games that would have made the top 10 list of this to actually deserve much praise. However, I would encourage many of you to play some of these games if you haven’t already done so. I say subjectively because NOTE: this is my opinion, and this is not a definitive list.

I try to play as many MMORPGs as I can, and I thought this article would be a good idea since I’ve played enough of all these games to subjectively make a top five list. They are often incredibly large in scope, and offer wonderful gameplay for players to sink their hours into as their virtual avatars. MMORPGs focus on creating rich and unique experiences for all players. Fortunately with this list, I’ve tried all of these games on a 13 inch 2013 Macbook Pro with Retina Display, and they all worked fine (except for Eve Online, which really destroyed the poor machine).

As someone who regularly uses a Macbook, I know that it’s difficult being a Mac gamer: there aren’t many big titles that release on OS X, and the ones that do often require the super high end Macs.

Since many people seemed to appreciate the article I did in April for the top 10 free MMORPG’s for PC, I thought it would be nice to show some love to the Mac community.
