As a hero of your making, you explore seven vast and varied continents to find all sorts of mythical and technological wonders. All of this, in search of endless amounts of gear, enemies, and bosses! With so much to discover, this is easily one of the best MMORPGs for players to get their hands on. If that doesn’t tell you that, then Lost Ark’s 20 million global users and massive concurrent player counts sure will.
