Last year, we noted that we considered but rejected a formal award for MMO fashion; we were worried it would wind up rewarding character-centric (as opposed to ship- or vehicle-centric) MMOs and cash shops. This Daily Grind was born instead, and what we wanted to do was highlight the games adding really great wearables to the game, whether as armor or cosmetics. Heck, we could even call attention to great or new cosmetic systems; even Project Gorgon got a cosmetic system this year.
What’s fashionable in terms of gear is in the eye of the beholder, but today, you’re the beholder. Which MMO offers the best fashion options as of 2022? And… are those options buried in a cash shop, gated behind hardcore content walls, or readily accessible through basic gameplay?
