2.5D MMOs
In the vast universe of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs), there exists a unique subset of games that blend the familiar simplicity of 2D environments with the depth and immersion of 3D: the 2.5D MMOs. These games, often characterized by their unique art style and layered environments, offer a distinctive gaming experience that appeals to a wide range of players.

This is often achieved through clever use of perspective, shadows, parallax scrolling, or layering to provide a sense of a three-dimensional environment.
In terms of gameplay, 2.5D MMOs often use the mechanics of traditional 2D MMOs with the added depth of a 3D environment. This creates unique gameplay experiences, where the player navigates the world on a two-dimensional plane, but with an additional axis allowing for more intricate level designs, strategic depth, and dynamic visuals.
