    You forgot to mention pay2win.
    I doubt there is any mobile " mmorpg " in the market without any pay2win methods or paywalls.
    It's sad, but some people just love wasting money on autoplay...

    I wish these boards had this feature:

    /ignore mobile

    But it's my own fault. The heading clearly said mobile and I clicked on it anyway. Pardon me while I go beat my head against something like Dobby the House Elf.

    Can't tell if joking or serious.

    In case it's serious, the main issue I have with mobile MMORPGs isn't the phones.  Or even the screen size or lack of controller. I play my mobile games on emulator anyways so I get them full-screen with controller support

    One of the main issues is that the vast majority of them are so simple that auto-play works equal (or equal enough to) a human being playing it, which makes for really lame gameplay (a lot of people complain about auto-play, but for me, the true core of the problem is that if an MMORPG is so simple that auto-play even works in the first place, the gameplay is... well, so simple that even a lame auto-play algorithm can pull it off)

    Another main issue is that the vast majority of them are pay-to-win, to the point where even games like Archeage and BDO would seem fair.

    With such simple gameplay and auto-play doing everything, your player skill and to some extent dedication doesn't really matter. Meanwhile, the winner is based around who paid more.  ….and that's on purpose too (which is why most of them are just cash grabs. No need to program in or worry about complex gameplay when all that matters is the players spending money against each other)

    It's just lame.

    I think I've seen like, one or two open-world mobile MMOs out of hundreds that didn't have auto-play and extreme pay-to-win and even that I'm not sure about because I didn't stick around to play them long because they just weren't very interesting to me (Toran Online and Alchemia Story.... I guess. Pretty sure the latter had weapon gacha though)

    Pretty sure he was making fun of Blizzard for saying that to the Diablo fans at Blizzcon last year.

    IIRC, "Don't you have phones?" was a oft-used serious unironic response by some against those who complained about mobile for a long time, even before Blizzard's Diablo mobile.  Well, I recall seeing people use that "counter-argument" seriously before and after but admittingly by now the times kinda blend into each other.

    It's been used so often that it's become a meme of sorts by now but some still use it seriously which is why I can't be sure if the poster is joking or not.

    Well, it's Games Workshop.  When it comes to video games, they don't seem to care too much who or what they fling the IP around to.  I don't think they care if anyone plays it.

    Games Workshop, the sluttiest in licensing, anyone can go for a ride with these guys.

    There is 0 probability this will be any good. I did the math.

    I play a cross-platform MMORPG; it's actually a pretty great concept.  You can log in from anywhere and play with everyone, whether it's on a PC, mobile phone, or VR rig.

    It looks like this is mobile-only, though.

    Warhammer is really amping their mobile presence. They've got a card game, a strategy game, and now an MMO. This actually looks quite decent.

    They're slutty, yet they have strict internal standards? How does that even work?

    Regardless, it seems that Malleus survived after all and GW seems to be changing its perception of "FLIP THE TABLE"(deleting WHFB). Which is so very reassuring even if we are getting the likes of Odyssey, of Chaosbane.

    And look at this way. Odyssey has 50% of Warhammer Online's Order classes.

    Edit: The description of classes over on their site sound oddly familiar.
    Funny story, I knew a guy in RL who went to work for Games Workshop to design Warhammer miniatures. He was bloody brilliant and he was sure he had found his dream job. He quit within two years, the pressure was real and their internal standards were indeed very, very strict.

    And then there is stuff like Chaosbane..... But, to be honest, there are quite a few decent WH40K titles out there, irs just the traditional WH that needs to step up their game.

    2 main problems with mobile mmorpgs. Lack of content, and “extreme” p2w. Durango is the best I’ve played. I haven’t made to the upper levels, but I have not seen the p2w yet.
