5. Dragon Ball Online
Dragon Ball Online (ドラゴンボールオンライン, Doragon Bōru
Onrain?, Korean: 드래곤볼 온라인) (officially abbreviated
as DBO) was a massive multiplayer online role-playing game being
developed simultaneously in Japan and South Korea by NTL, set in the Dragon
Ball universe, first introduced by the Dragon Ball
Japanese manga in 1984. Dragon Ball Online takes
place on Earth, 216 years after the events of Goku's departure.
A beta testing of Dragon Ball Online was
initially announced to begin in South Korea during the summer of 2007,[1] but
was delayed until January 2010.[2]
Although a Japanese beta test had been planned to follow shortly after the
initial 2007 Korean beta testing[1] it
still has not started. NTL Director Koji Takamiya has stated in numerous
interviews that he would also like to see a global release for the game, but
official plans have yet to be revealed.[3][4]
Series creator Akira Toriyama has a great deal of creative
control over the project, both contributing to and supervising the story and art
design, including character and location arrangements.[5] It has
been stated that Toriyama has worked on character designs for this project for
over five years.
On September 26, 2013 the Korean servers of the game have been shut down.
On October 31, 2013 the Hong Kong and Taiwan servers of the game were shut
down, effectively ending Dragon Ball Online.
But due to this game`s popularity it was put onto the top 5.

3. Hearthstone
Hearthstone is a collectible card game that revolves around
turn-based online 1vs1 matches between two opponents, operated through
Blizzard's Battle.net.[2]
Players can choose from a number of game modes, with each offering a slightly
different experience. Players start the game with a substantial collection of
'basic' cards, but can gain rarer and more powerful cards through purchasing
packs of additional cards, or as reward for competing in the Arena. Players can
also disenchant unwanted cards, destroying them in exchange for arcane
dust, a resource which can be used to create new cards. Card packs and entry
to the Arena can be purchased with gold, an in-game currency rewarded for
completing randomized daily quests and winning matches, or by using real
money in the in-game store.
Hearthstone is set within the Warcraft universe, with its characters, cards
and locations drawing from existing lore.

2. Star Wars The Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic, often abbreviated as
SWTOR, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game
(MMORPG) based in the Star Wars universe.[2][3]
Developed by BioWare Austin and a supplemental team at BioWare
Edmonton, the game was first announced on October 21, 2008, at an
invitation-only press event.[4] The
video game was released for the Microsoft Windows platform on December 20, 2011
in North America and part of Europe.[5][6][7][8] Early
access to the game began one week before release, on December 13, 2011, for
those who had pre-ordered the game online; access opened in "waves" based on
pre-order date.[8]
Although BioWare has not disclosed development costs, industry leaders and
financial analysts have estimated it to be between $150 million and $200 million
or more, making it, at the time, the most expensive video game ever made.[9][10] The
position was later taken over by Grand Theft Auto V, with an estimated cost of
$265 million.[11] The
game had 1 million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the
world's "fastest-growing MMO ever".[12][13]
However, in the following months the game lost a fair share of its
subscriptions, but has remained profitable.[14] The
game has since adopted the hybrid free-to-play business model with remaining
subscription option.[15] It is
estimated that the game made $139 million in additional revenues, in addition to
the subscription income, in 2013. This makes SWTOR one of the world's top ten
earning games.[16]
