Expansions are a staple of MMORPGs. They have created memories for players that they cherish and love forever. From Wrath of the Lich King to Cataclysm to Dragonflight, World of Warcraft has seen many expansions with some peaks and valleys. But, no matter the MMO, I believe that for the long term health of the game, expansions are doing more harm than good.

So in this video, let's look at some of the most popular MMORPGs like Lord of the Rings Online, Ultima Online, Everquest, Runescape, and more. Through those, we'll see if expansions are truly as bad as I think, and if there are any alternatives that can help keep the genre alive.
