Like other games on this list, there are plenty of expansions in Ultima Online. It's a very social game and you will make friends here. Some chat, some play music, and some do much more. You will find players doing all sorts of activities in the main cities. There is nothing wrong with that as the combat focuses on mostly skill over customization of your class.

There are a lot of classes, but you are given your skills and the gear stats aren't that variable. There aren't many choices when it comes to combat. It's also very expensive to get into, from buying a housing plot to buying items for your house. The only downside is that not everyone can have a house, as they are sought after by private players and free companies alike. Final Fantasy XIV has the best housing system of any MMO I have played.

To progress in almost every aspect of the game, you have to do the main story. You can't skip the story, unless you pay to do so. You can pay to skip the storyline, level up a character quickly, or obtain more storage. However, there are some convenience items as well. Most of the items are cosmetic, such as clothing, pets, mounts, and housing décor. There is a monthly subscription fee to enjoy all of the content the game has to offer, which is very much worth it in my opinion. Required to pay a monthly subscription.While it's fine to start the game without them, in the end, you will be expected to get them to play with your friends and take advantage of all of the content. There are a few expansions for this game, which are pretty much required if you want to fully enjoy the game.
