Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • Terraria is a session-based multiplayer game — matches are short, instanced rounds, not a persistent shared world.
  • It's catalogued here as "Online sandbox adventure" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
  • It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • There's no publisher-maintained persistent world or central server infrastructure — multiplayer happens via player-hosted or community-hosted servers that you join individually, more akin to Minecraft servers than a traditional MMO.
  • If this profile is being used to evaluate MMO-style ongoing shared-world features, this entry doesn't fit the genre this site is built around.
  • Consider flagging this listing for recategorization under sandbox/action-adventure rather than MMO/MMORPG.
