Battle of the Immortals involves itself with Norse based mythologies, Silkroad Online allows players to immerse themselves in a fantasy realm of traditional Chinese culture, Nadirim inhabits the fantasy realms of the Arabian Nights, while War of Titans takes the action to ancient Rome. While this article constrains itself to the realms of an ancient fantasy setting, there are also legion of contemporary and futuristic fantasy MMORPGs available.

There is a wealth of games available in any preferred style, setting, and aesthetic and the number of available games grows daily. Each offers unique variety in character customization, leveling, gaming experience, and available members. Whether seeking to raid lowest dungeons or travel to the furthest stars, there are infinite hours of available entertainment for those seeking good browser based fantasy MMORPGs.
