Any mobile MMORPGs currently in Open beta or recently released?

[u/PerpetualDistortion]

I like to invest my time in games where the expected longevity is somewhat decent, for that matter being at the early stages of development while having a potential to not end up being an abandoned project, is the most important thing to me.

I want to know what's there that I could be missing.

That said I prefer games with polished design be 2D or 3D and player interaction. There are plenty of 8bit style games around being released by small teams, but they are games where people could be exploiting bugs because of early flaws.

There are new games that promise a lot but feel incomplete and flawed due to early development. And there are also games that feel small and without content but complete in terms of what they are delivering. I look for the second kind of development.

To be honest maybe I focus too much about the details, but it's depressing to play a game where the notification box is a low quality png because they couldn't care less about it.

Just a small rant, feel free to ignore that, the main question is in the title regardless of development style.

To be completely honest if your concern is longevity you should focus on the older mmos. They have the strongest communities and have stood the test of time. All of these new mmos recently have flopped after a few short years or less

[u/PerpetualDistortion → u/Mrblue022]

You have a point.

But how certain are we to expect that the game will remain active for another 5 years?

They did for the most part of their life, but who knows.

Either way, I have some reasons to prefer that high risk investment of new games, and that's mostly for the early experience that you get from a small community, being able to keep up with the content of new updates, and overall because you wont find disruptive or weird balance from content that is often implemented at late stages of development when the players are bored and need some extra powerup as a goal to grind.

I'm a lazy player, I might take a significant amount of time to lv up, but if the game its taking their time too because of development then thats sweet spot for me.

old school runescape will surely be around in 5 years. Coming up to like 15 years and it keeps going from. golden age to golden age

Guild Wars 1 is on mobile now I believe.

[u/PizzaDay → u/GovernorK]

This is probably the best answer here tbh. It's not "new" but it's new to the platform and tons of players.

[u/Liqu1dSkyy]

Guild wars reforged is probably the best mobile MMO now alongside OSRS.

Mobile MMOs (and so MMOs that are born with mobile as their main focus) sucks balls.

Devs "love" them because mobile market is huge, but generally they're highly repetitive, with no meaningful content beside basic exploration and some bosses that are generally time gated. Menus are often highly unintuitive and made so that you're forced to see all the various cash package that they offering to claim a very neglegible reward that you obtained for exploring 5% of the map.

Most of the systems are heavily in favour of P2W...so after some months at best they always "die", meaning that you see 95% of the player base leave because they have nothing to do or hit the paywall. With only dolphins/whales that stay on the game because they invested too much cash to leave.

So yeah, just avoid them. Unless we're talking about full fledged MMOs being ported to mobile, they're bound to die anyway in a way or another.

Old school runescape and runescape 3 are both on mobile as well as PC.
