This question is an easy one for me because I play Lord of the Rings Online, which added River Hobbits this year. While there was some pushback from the more pedantic corners of the playerbase about whether the new hobbits were hobbity enough to deserve the name, I think they’re so cute that I don’t really care. I will take my roly-poly cuties any which way, thank you very much. Also, they have great hair. Hair matters.
But no one person can play all the MMOs, so I’d love to know about others added this year that aren’t top of mind. Perhaps a certain dragon friend? You tell me: What was the best new race (or species) added to an MMORPG in 2023?
