7 Surprisingly Good MMORPGs on Android

When most people think of an MMORPG, they don't think about the mobile market. In fact, the mention of a mobile MMO may be enough to drive interested players away.

Gamers are concerned that a mobile MMO can't deliver the features and player base that a "traditional" MMO can. Are they right? I don't think so.
