The six best massively multiplayer online games on Windows Phone
Do you enjoy playing games with hundreds or even thousands of other players? Then these MMOs for your Lumia are for you.
We’ve all heard of massively multiplayer online juggernauts like “World of Warcraft” and “EverQuest” on the PC, but MMOs aren’t typically associated with mobile gaming.
For those of you new to the term, massively multiplayer games are online experiences shared with hundreds, if not thousands, of other players in persistent worlds. They usually fall into the genres of role-playing or strategy.
As long as you have an Internet connection—preferably Wi-Fi—there are several excellent MMOs to play on your Lumia. We’ve rounded up some of the best to try:
