What are some MMOs where I can have npc companions?
(I don't have any friends and would like to pretend I do)

Honest question: Why play an MMO if you're just going to use NPCs?

A surprising amount of people are like OP. Its something I've asked so many people. Ultimately its a combination of a few things. Usually its the sense of progression, being apart of a living world with other players running around, etc. Large open persistent multiplayer worlds is an experience that's hard to replicate with singleplayer games. The only one I've personally seen come close is STALKER 1.

Guess it depends on how involved those companions are. WoW has delves with an NPC companion and story mode dungeons with NPC groups. ESO has companions you can unlock and you can have one with you at a time. Though you can place them all in your house too. Gw1 has NPC parties, though its a game on the olderside. SWTOR also has a companion that can join you.

Yeah, I like playing around people and feeling like I'm part of something, but not necessarily playing with them.

not MMOs I know but fuck it might as well play a singleplayer that mimmicks it

There is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2382520/Erenshor but it only has a demo out currently, maybe EA early next year. It's the only "singleplayer MMO" I've heard about.

ff11 added them, ff14 copied it from ff11, wow copied it from ff14

some people just never grow out of the desire for parallel play, it's the same sort of people who play on multiplayer servers for minecraft or other survival games and then never team up with anyone, just do their own thing but with other people existing in the game

I would kill for a single player game with party customization that was some unholy bastard of GW1 heroes, with FFXII gambits. Lets me fully control the party but not micro manage their actions.
