School of Chaos Online

School of Chaos Online is a 3D mobile MMORPG built around a simple, chaotic premise, the teachers have vanished and the school has effectively become a player-run battleground. It mixes light sandbox elements with constant player conflict, letting you build a brawling-focused character, gear up, and even design quests for other players through an in-game creation tool. If you enjoy open-world PvP and do not mind older visuals or aggressive monetization, it offers a surprisingly flexible playground.
