Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • Paragon is a session-based MOBA — short, instanced team matches rather than a persistent shared world.
  • It's catalogued here as "MOBA" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
  • It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.

Real MMOs to check out

  • This entry is intentionally excluded from MMOFinder's platform, genre, and catalog-wide statistics, since it isn't a persistent-world MMO.
  • For team-based combat within a persistent MMO structure, look at guild-vs-guild or open-world PvP MMOs like Albion Online or Guild Wars 2's World vs. World mode.
  • If you came here specifically to check whether this game is an MMO: it isn't, by the definition this site uses (a persistent, shared, many-player online world) — but it may still be worth playing on its own terms.
