OK, for today’s topic, we’re going to be limiting ourselves strictly to scifi MMORPGs (sorry fantasy, you’ll have to settle for pretty much 95% of the posts on any given day). As we explore virtual galaxies, we’ve bumped into plenty of alien races — some playable, some helpful, and some grumpy as all get out.
So the question is this: What are the coolest MMO alien races? Honestly, for this topic, I could probably write a huge essay on WildStar’s alien roster alone, from the adorable Lopp to the corporate Protostar clones. But other MMOs have pretty groovy aliens too, like SWTOR’s Nautolans, Star Trek Online’s Borg, and Elite: Dangerous’ Thargoid.
What do you think? When you visit strange, new worlds, which lifeforms intrigue you the most?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
