Ha ha, now that is funny.while there are some companies that write MMO's for both PC and Mac, CCP is an example, none of the free ones do. Good reason for that, most of the free games come out of Korea and China and Macs are quite rare in those countries. So chances that one of these free companies will fund a mac client are slim and none. The best Macs are already equipped with ever more powerful graphics, but with the boost to performance that Apple promises with the new M1 chip, playing the best Mac games will be a treat.
Character customization is an integral part of the MMORPG genre. Being able to create a character that fits a specific persona can help players immerse themselves in the game. Limited customization may not be a deal breaker for everyone, but I know many people who won't even play a game if classes are gender locked or if they can't customize their character in a certain way. Every MMORPG has a character creation menu with some customization, but some games take character creation a bit more seriously. I personally don't think character creation makes or breaks a game, but it can be incredibly fun fiddeling around on a game's character creation menu, especially when there are tons of sliders and customization options. I personally spent over an hour creating the perfect Victoria Secret hottie in Black Desert Online and I have no regrets. Anyway, whether you're looking to fiddle around or genuinely interested in playing games with only the best character creation systems, check out the list below:
MMORPGs with Great Character Customization
Black Desert Online

Normally these lists save the best for the last, but I'm going to go ahead and start this list off strong with what I consider to be the MMORPG with the best character creation system in the world. Black Desert Online is a gorgeous fantasy action MMORPG by the South Korean developer Pearl Abyss. Its character creation system is incredibly in-depth and allows players to customize everything from hair strands to eyeliner in incredible detail. Simply put, Black Desert is the gold standard of character creators in MMOs. Just check out the video above, which starts by showing off the game's character creator. Even if you have no interest in playing Black Desert, the character creator alone makes it worth the download in my opinion. The only downside here is that classes are gender locked.
Perfect World
It may be odd to see such an old MMORPG make it to this list, but despite originally launching in 2005 (in China) and 2008 in the West, Perfect World has an in-depth character creation system that goes above and beyond what most games offer. While most games allow reasonable levels of customization, Perfect World allows players to create absurd looking characters, from tiny heads and huge bodies to characters with glowing pink skin. Obviously players don't NEED to make absurd looking characters, but the fact that the game allows this shows off the extent of the game's customization. Even if you're not looking to make a Frankenstein style character, Perfect World has A LOT of customization sliders for everything from eye size to arm length.
This one is a bit of an oldie, as it released back in 2004, but Eve Online still has some of the best customization in any MMO. Even though there are a ton of options, players never really get to see much of their customization, as the game takes place almost exclusively in your ship. Still, if you want to see an awesome character creator at work, check out Eve Online. Especially since it went free to play in November, 2016.
Aion
Aion originally launched as a buy to play subscription game by NCSoft, but later went free to play. Despite originally launching in 2008, Aion still looks quite beautiful even today and features some of the best character customization I've seen in an MMORPG. Just take a look at the video above to see what the game's character creator offers.
Despite never launching in the West officially, the Japanese version of the game is playable by anyone from the West without any IP restrictions. The sci-fi MMORPG from Sega features one of the most in depth character customization systems of any MMO. Interested in checking the game out? See our guide on how to install and play PSO2 in English.
Champions Online
Champions Online is a unique game on this list because it's not another fantasy themed MMORPG. Instead, it's a superhero themed MMORPG, which means players get to create their very own superheroes. The game originally launched back in 2009 as the successor to City of Heroes and one of the game's most prominent features is its in-depth character customization system. Given the nature of superheroes, the developers wanted every player to have a truly 'unique' character. Not only do players get to customize their character's body, but they get to create their own unique costume as well.
Blade and Soul
Blade and Soul originally released in South Korea back in 2012 but didn't launch in the West until early 2016. While the game doesn't offer nearly as much character customization as Black Desert, the game has a lot of sliders to play with. Blade and Soul also has a unique art style, which makes character models stand out a bit more too.
APB Reloaded
Free Mmorpg Games For Pc
Although not an MMORPG, APB Reloaded features a surprisingly in-depth character creation system. I mean, just take a look at the video above and see for yourself. For those that haven't heard of APB, the game originally launched as simply 'APB All Points Bulletin' with a buy to play model, but after bankruptcy it was acquired by GamersFirst and relaunched as a free to play game and was renamed APB Reloaded.
There are obviously many more MMORPGs out there with 'good' character customization, but am I missing any games with 'great' customization? If so, let me know in the comments below and I'll update this list!

Nothing wrong with a Mac, but if you want to play games you buy a PC.

I'd hate them much less if they openly allowed people to buy computers to meet specifications to run their operation system.
Oh well, I guess the one friend in our group will have to get a PC or a parallel. See, he's sort of the scholarly type... not really but he doesn't need the entertainment of a PC to the full extent.
So he can't play much games with us.
Dofus will work on a Mac, but I have no idea if you'll like it. I would guess not, but you might.
Also, if he has bootcamp, and he most likely does, then he can install Windows on his Mac and run PC games. That'll open up a whole world of free MMOs you can choose from.

Exact same reason I hate them. I would go as far as to buy OS X and install it on my PC if Apple would loosen their iron fist. No chance in hell I would buy over priced hardware just to use a BSD based OS.

So the light up apple on the back of your laptop can declare to the world how unique and special you are while you uniquely surf the web and charismatically check your email in the local coffee shop.

Why even use a Mac if you run Windows on it?You run both Mac and Windows on it. Mac so you don't have to deal with Windows while you work. Windows for the occasional PC game you want to play.
