A generation ago, online games were known as “LAN parties” and the concept of a “casual gamer” wasn’t even a snowflake in the eye of the Lich King. Today, the concept of the Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) is an essential part of the entertainment scene. There are games for casuals and hardcore players, set in worlds that mix science fiction, fantasy, and a myriad of other genres.

How do you choose the MMO that’s right for you? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, turn to the wisdom of astrology. Read on if you happen to be born under the sign of the Crab, Cancer. Some of these games have different versions, but Cancer will see something they like, or something they hate, in all of the following MMORPGs.

10 Identify With: World of Warcraft

There are some differences between the Classic version and Retail, and Cancer can take their pick since both have features this sign will enjoy. The artwork is beautiful and distinctive, immersive but not too realistic, which are things the moody crab appreciates.

The lore also has a long and interesting history, dating back to the Blizzard RTS games of the late 1990s, and Cancer is likely familiar with those games, too.

9 Hate: Elder Scrolls Online

Initially, Cancer will appreciate the combination of the sandbox-style and linear gameplay that allows players to customize their gaming experience. Eventually, however, they’ll decide this game just isn’t pretty enough for them.

It looks too real and is missing to sparkly lights and magical environments that other games have. Character customization is more varied when it comes to stats and materials, but most of the characters look the same once you dress them anyway, which will put the creative Cancer off.

8 Identify With: Runescape

This game even predates World of Warcraft, just to give you an idea of how old it is, and one thing a Cancer sign loves is history. Runescape was developed in the UK on a Java platform in 2001, and an “Old School” version of the game was running right up until 2018.

There’s a lot you can do in this game, which looks deceptively simple at first. Cancer will love that you can totally customize your experience, either by questing or just exploring and crafting. They’ll appreciate the classic animation rather than see it as a disadvantage.

7 Hate: Black Desert Online

Some people love this game, but Cancer isn’t one of them. There’s not much you can do in this game without a group of friends helping you, which the gregarious Cancer likes, but they also need the option to play alone.

As critically acclaimed as Black Desert is, it offers fewer options for solo gameplay which will turn a Cancer off.

6 Identify With: Star Wars, The Old Republic

Cancer generally likes Star Wars anyway, with its simple yet sophisticated storyline of good versus evil, so an MMO based on canon is an easy sell for them. T

here’s a linear storyline that’s set up in a cinematic way as a reference to the films along with a whole galaxy of planets, battlegrounds, and other realms to explore. Plus, it’s gorgeous which is everything a happy Cancer needs.

5 Hate: Rift

There’s nothing for a Cancer to complain about in Rift and that’s the problem. It’s got everything that most other games have and doesn’t do enough to distinguish itself, at least as far as Cancer is concerned.

Even if a Cancer person does like Rift at first, they’ll end up drifting to other games that are more creative and player-centered, like World of Warcraft or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. To say Cancer would hate this is a bit much. It’s better to say that they’ll just get bored.

4 Identify With: Neverwinter

If you’re a Cancer, you’ll probably like this game, especially if you’re also into Dungeons & Dragons. From the same developers that brought you the Baldur’s Gate series back in the day, Neverwinter is also based on a popular location featured in a high-profile D&D module.

That means Cancer can enjoy the lore, history, and storylines along with an immersive RPG experience.

3 Hate: Guild Wars 2

As the name suggests, Guild Wars 2 requires a group in order to be successful. It’s similar to other sandbox games like Black Desert that make teaming up with other players essential.

Like other games that utilize the sandbox-style, this one isn’t exactly Cancer’s cup of tea. They like companionship, but that’s more about getting together with family and friends for fun, not a forced gathering with people Cancer barely knows.

2 Identify With: Final Fantasy XIV

Cancer loves RPG games, and the Final Fantasy franchise could be the granddaddy of them all when it comes to video games. Sentimental crabs are probably familiar with the main characters and their original storylines from the vintage console games, so they’ll adapt quickly to the online versions of the game.

Cancer has probably heard about the disastrous 2010 launch of this game so they might try it reluctantly. However, they’ll be pleasantly surprised. Most of the issues with the earlier version have been fixed to streamline the experience, and cancers prefer a more linear quest-directed game.

1 Hate: EVE Online

Some people swear by this game, but it’s a safe bet that very few of them are Cancer signs.  There’s some cooperation involved, but it’s mostly a game of economics where the aim is to destroy your opponents either through espionage or outright aggression.

The family-oriented, sentimental Crab likes the social aspects of gaming, and EVE is on the soulless side of MMOs in this regard.
