Stay Bybsie!Your based measure of fun
FunBased is our unique scoring system that captures the fun of playing any MMORPG.
No spreadsheet wizardry, no secret weighting. A curated panel of content-creator judges each gives a game one honest gut-call on overall fun, 1–10. That number — scaled up to a 0–100 — is the score, plain and simple. A perfectly neutral game (~5/10) lands around 50 and earns no star at all.
The stars themselves? Those are earned, not voted — think Great Taste Awards, but for MMORPGs. Only the panel's verdicts count, and stars are scarce on purpose: ⭐ Fun, ⭐⭐ Great Fun, ⭐⭐⭐ Epic Fun, and most games walk away with none.
Alongside the score you'll find a seven-axis breakdown — combat, exploration, social, story, grind, monetisation and boredom. That's pure context: it tells you why a game landed where it did, but it never gets summed into the score. The judges' gut still rules.
You can still play with the score yourself. Explore the MMORPG directory — open any game to see the panel's verdict, then crank the dials in the rating drawer to land on your own take. That one's just for you; we don't record it.
Fancy a go right here? Slide your own overall rating below and watch the stars land — the breakdown's there for flavour, just like in the directory:
The breakdown
These seven axes are just context — they explain the vibe but don't change the score above.
