Class-Based MMOs

Pick a role, master it, build around it — class-based MMOs ask players to commit to a defined archetype from the start, whether that's a tank soaking hits, a healer keeping the party alive, a ranged DPS, or a melee bruiser. Each class comes with its own kit, playstyle, and identity within a group, which makes team composition, rotations, and role-specific mastery a core part of the experience. It's a structure that trades the freedom of classless systems for clearer specialization and deeper role-based mechanics. This tag covers class-based MMOs and MMORPGs built around defined archetypes, from trinity-style tank/healer/DPS systems to titles with wider class rosters and hybrid specializations.
