The third criteria is something that most MMO games nowadays do their best to offer since no one likes a game with a really unbalanced distribution of classes where, for example, 70 percent are playing as a priest because that class overpowers all the other classes.

Graphically, the game holds up well. ESO averages a couple hundred thousand unique players per month, and has been averaging roughly a similar amount all year.
Guild Wars 2 was released back in , and has since gone on to become one of the most played free MMOs. The main issue with Guild Wars 2 is that for the last several years, content has been released fairly slowly.
