5 MMORPGs that you can buy once and always play

MMORPGs are available in different graphic and game styles, but also in different payment models. In this list we want to take a look at 5 MMORPGs that you only have to pay once and can then play for infinitely long.

About the list: On the following pages we have selected five MMORPGs for which you have to pay once before you can play them. One speaks of so-called Buy2Play games.

Some of the selected MMOs offer additional content in the form of DLCs or extensions that cost additional money. Nevertheless, they are on the list because they do not charge any monthly fees and the original content would be playable even without extensions.

The list was created on the basis of our own experience and the order is chosen at random. If you know any other good Buy2Play MMORPGs, feel free to write them in the comments.

The article originally appeared in March 2019 and was last updated on December 1, 2021. We have removed the games ArcheAge Unchained (in future with subscription) and Kingdom Under Fire 2 (discontinued) and replaced them with New World and Swords of Legends Online.

What is Elder Scrolls Online? The Elder Scrolls Online is a theme park MMORPG by ZeniMax and is set in the world of Tamriel about 1,000 years before Skyrim.

You can experience the story of the MMO with other players or complete it alone. Thanks to a special phasing technology, the world changes dynamically for you, but sometimes stays the same for other players around you.

When creating characters, you can choose from 10 races and 6 classes. The system is complemented by skill lines that expand your character’s repertoire.

What is the unique selling point? In ESO, the whole world scales with you, so you can play and have fun anywhere. This is especially fun when playing with friends.

Another highlight is the story of the game world, which now also takes you to many areas from the single-player games. Most recently, Blackwood was an expansion that brought companions into the game. These are particularly useful for newbies as they support you in the open world and in dungeons.

You can also play ESO on Xbox One or PS4. However, there is currently no possibility for crossplay.

Who is ESO aimed at? Elder Scrolls Online is a must have for fans of the game franchise. If you had fun with Morrowind or Skyrim, you should definitely take a look at the MMORPG.

But ESO is also a real recommendation for players who like to explore the world on their own and who like an exciting story. PvP, in which three factions fight each other, is often emphasized. In the open world, however, you are safe from other players.

What content is real money required for? The new Greymoor addon costs 60 euros, but also contains the base game and the Morrowind, Summerset and Elsweyr chapters.

In addition, there are story DLCs that can be bought for real money in the Kronenshop. Alternatively, there is a monthly “ESO Plus” membership for 10 to 13 euros, which brings access to all DLCs and other bonuses. We at MeinMMO will tell you the cheapest way to get the DLCs.

In addition, the Crown Shop offers clothing sets, mount skins, and other cosmetic content for real money.

What is the future of ESO? Things are going very well for Elder Scrolls Online right now. It is one of the most popular MMORPGs in the West and brings new updates out regularly. The game is constantly being optimized in order to eliminate technical deficiencies.

For 2022, players can expect 3 new DLCs and a new expansion. The announcement for this usually takes place in January.
