Mounts serve a purpose in Atlantica Online

Atlantica Online is a fantasy MMO with a huge mount list. Players use mounts to get around and gain powers. Mounts come with stats such as defense, attack power, dexterity, vitality, and – don’t you dare underestimate a panda’s intellect! – intelligence.

You can buy mounts from the cash shop or in-game vendors using currency obtained by playing. Most of them can also be traded on the player auction house.

Atlantica Online is a 2008 game with a surprisingly complex strategy system, so there’s more to it than the mount collection.

12. Bless Unleashed

  • Release Date: February 26, 2020

  • For fans of Korean MMOs

The action MMO that was waiting for since 2011, but turned out to be a bit of a flop. The good news is that is has more than 100 unique mounts and the list is ever-growing.

Anything that you do in this game rewards some kind of mountable creature. Became reputed with a faction? You can buy their signature mount. Getting lucky with reward chests? There you have it, another mount. Completed a treasure map? We have a mount for you. Can you tame that wild beast? That’s your new mount. Don’t mind spending some real money? Cash shop mounts are waiting.

11. Riders of Icarus

  • Developer: Valofe
  • Release Date: July 6, 2016
  • Platform: PC
  • For fans of Korean MMOs

Mounts are an integral part of Riders of Icarus

Riders of Icarus is a free MMORPG that integrates mounts as a core gameplay feature. The selection numbers more than 300 mighty beasts.

Players can tame their dragons of choice and train them for combat. They fight but they also give buffs. As you can see, Riders of Icarus mounts are part of your character. Mounts have the ability to fly and engage in aerial fights.

Pair that with the action combat system and you have a spectacular MMO experience.

Age of Conan features many unique mounts

Age of Conan mounts is part of the combat system. Not only that you can fight while mounted, the type of mount determines what abilities and weapons you can use in combat.

Age of Conan mount selection includes various types of horses, mammoths, camels, wolves, and more. Each type has strengths and weaknesses, so you’ll need to learn to match your mount with the challenge ahead. It’s a neat system that we don’t see in many MMOs.

9. Everquest

  • Release Date: March 16, 1999
  • Platform: PC
  • For fans of Old School MMOs

The veteran MMO has plenty of mounts and collectibles

In the beginning, there were no collectible mounts in Everquest, but after mounts were first introduced in the game`s third expansion Shadows of Luclin, plenty of pets have been added.

Everquest also has a housing system that lets you collect and display almost every item in the game, making it perfect for collectors.

If collecting is your thing, be sure to play on the live servers, as classic and progression servers have no or limited mounts available.

8. Trove

Trove has a selection of crazy mounts to collect

Why would you want to collect different mounts when most of them do the same thing? Because it’s hard to say no to Princess Prancy Prance or Chocolate Chicanery. In Trove, you can ride a cake and everyone is cool with it.

Trove is a crazy MMORPG and its mounts are no less. A few mounts have the ability to destroy the blocks in front of them. Others give its rider wings.

Players obtain mounts as drops, from loot boxes, special events, and crafting.

7. Rift

Rift has a great selection of collectible creatures

Just like WoW, Rift has a plethora of creatures you can use to travel the world. It even has a limited-edition spider mount. When it comes to pets, the fantasy MMO is no less.

Mounts and pets are obtained from practically any game activity. Some are available during events or from challenging achievements.

The cash shop has a nice selection too, but don’t worry as there are plenty that can be acquired from simply playing the game.

6. Star Wars: The Old Republic

The galaxy is filled with all kinds of strange creatures to collect

What’s your favorite activity in Star Wars: The Old Republic? It doesn’t matter because you get mounts from it anyway.

Whether you like to run operations (raids), flashpoints (dungeons), or just enjoy the story-driven questlines, you will obtain mounts and pets. Some mounts come from PvP.

You don’t want to do the work yourself? No problem, as long as you have the money for it. Players can trade mounts between themselves thanks to the auction house system.

5. Neverwinter

Mounts and pets are an important part of progressing in Neverwinter

Neverwinter Online mounts are not just for showing off as you make your way through the Forgotten Realms. Mounts have stats and equipment that boost the owner’s combat prowess.

Getting mounts is more than giving that collector’s itch a good scratch. It’s part of the character upgrade system. This makes Neverwinter Online a perfect MMO for those who need a purpose to chase after mounts.

Vanity pets are not missing either. They don’t add any functionality to a character, they accompany their masters and silently observe their actions.

4. Everquest 2

  • Developer: Daybreak Games

Mounts in FFXIV goes beyond just Chocobos

One quick look at the Final Fantasy XIV mount selection and you’ll be left with nothing to say but Wowza! Honestly, this is probably the MMORPG with the most unique mounts.

Everyone gets an adorable Chocobo as part of the story, but the rabbit hole goes way deeper. From a giant gorilla that carries the player in its palm to a yellow flying nimbus, the diversity is mind-blowing. No party member left behind thanks to four-seat mounts.

The game has many premium mounts at reasonable prices. If you prefer to get them as rewards, there’s no shortage of mount and pet-rewarding activities.

2. The Elder Scrolls Online

  • Developer: Zenimax
  • Release Date: April 4, 2014
  • Platform: PC, Playstation, Xbox
  • For fans of the Elder Scrolls, Skyrim

There are many unique mounts in ESO

In ESO, mounts have extended functionality. Surely, they carry you across the world but they also serve as storage space. That’s only good news because we all know an MMORPG player’s passion for hoarding. Mounts have stats that determine their speed and resistance. The collection is impressive.

The Indrik is a special mount. The creature and its many skins come from engaging in activities during time-limited events.

Quests and achievements give mounts and pets too, so there is no need to visit the cash shop.

1. World of Warcraft

WoW has pets and mounts in the thousands to collect

With each expansion, WoW’s collections are getting larger and larger. Maybe too large, one might argue.

Without a doubt, World of Warcraft is the MMORPG with the most impressive mount and pet selection. From horses to bees to flying robots, the game has good diversity.

Pets and mounts come from achievements, rewards, rare drops, secret quest lines, the auction house, promotions, and the cash shop. The game makes it easier for players to farm mounts and pets from old expansions.

The collection system is simple to use, so you can easily keep track of owned/not owned items.

Lots of really old games on here with bad graphics, not really researched properly or mentioned anything new from the previous article(s). Writer for 2024 might want to check out TEMTEM or look into youtuber suggestions for this genre, rather than copy and paste previous articles

@Alfy, this is a literal copy pasta from the previous year.

Feels bad for you if you base population as 'best' rather supporting new / upcoming publishers in this genre.

Enjoy playing Trove & Atlantica Online forever :)

@David, TEMTEM has less of a population than any of the other mmos in this article. As for "old games with bad graphics". Thats just stupid.
