Star Wars: The Old Republic

NosTale is a classic MMORPG from 2006, published by Gameforge, which is known for keeping older MMOs running with a loyal niche community. As an old title, its player base has significantly diminished but remains sustained by a dedicated audience. The MMO mechanics, persistent world, and large-scale interactions meet the classic MMO definition.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.
