RuneLite
Free, open source OldSchool RuneScape client for Windows, 28.5 MB
This page lists six Windows entries for the search "mmorpg pc". None of the six reaches tier A. All six sit in tier B, so tier does not separate them. No entry is marked as ad-free, and every one is free.
What the entries share says more than their order. Four of the six are clients or launchers for a larger game: RuneLite, Oldschool RuneScape, Runescape Launcher and Ankama Launcher. RuneLite and Oldschool RuneScape both point at OldSchool RuneScape. Albion Online and PokeMMO are the two that present themselves as games. Download sizes run from 1.4 MB for Ankama Launcher to 149.7 MB for Albion Online. Treat the order as a catalog listing and not a verdict.

RuneLite is a free, open source client for OldSchool RuneScape. It is at version 2.7.5, last updated May 22, 2025, at 28.5 MB under the BSD-2-Clause license. That open license is the one clear difference from the other entries here. It holds a tier B rating and is free.
Oldschool RuneScape is the client published by Jagex Ltd, at version 1.2.7 and last updated December 21, 2024. At 22.9 MB it is smaller than RuneLite. The license is listed as Unknown. It carries the oldest update date among these five.
Albion Online comes from Sandbox Interactive GmbH and is the largest download here at 149.7 MB, version 25.08.27, updated August 25, 2025. The developer says all players share one master server in a single world, with versions for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. The license is Proprietary and the price is free.
Runescape Launcher from Jagex Ltd weighs only 3 MB and sits at version 2.2.12, updated June 10, 2026. It belongs to the medieval fantasy game RuneScape, which has a classless character system with 28 skills and new content almost every week. The license is Proprietary.
PokeMMO is an unofficial MMORPG built around the Pokémon games and free to play. The catalog lists version 1.0, updated August 1, 2025, at 79.5 MB with a Proprietary license. It is the only entry here based on a franchise from outside the RuneScape, Albion and Ankama group, which makes it the odd one out.
No. The tier A count for this category is 0, and all six entries are tier B. That means tier cannot be used to pick between them, and the update date, size and license fields are the more useful points of comparison.
Every entry is free. No entry is marked as ad-free, so check each game's own pages for details on items, subscriptions and ads.
Four of the six are clients or launchers. Ankama Launcher is a portal to Ankama games, animations, webtoons and livestreams, and it is 1.4 MB. Runescape Launcher is 3 MB. These small files start or manage a larger game, so their size does not reflect the game.
Ankama Launcher, the sixth entry, is not among the five picks above. Version 3.15.10.20586 was updated July 27, 2026, the latest date in the list, and the file is 1.4 MB. Its license field holds a link to Ankama's terms of use instead of a named license, so read those terms before installing. When comparing the rest, check the update date and size on each page. Dates run from December 21, 2024 to July 27, 2026.
