===Mahjong clients===
*[http://tenhou.net/3/ Tenhou]: The standard Riichi client for decades; there's an [https://gitlab.com/zefiris/tenhou-english-ui english UI mod] in the high likelihood that you're not fluent in Japanese. Played by everyone from salarymen to tourneyfags, so don't be surprised if you get your ass kicked at first. Has slightly different rules from standard Riichi due to the interface, most notably that you cannot chombo yourself. The English-speaking community uses lobby code 7447 to meet each other. There's an [https://tenhou.net/4/ HD web client] and [https://riichi.wiki/Tenhou.net_client a desktop client] with 3D graphics, if you care about that sort of thing, but getting out of the low-rank lobby with them requires a subscription. They only accept yen.
*[https://mahjongsoul.game.yo-star.com/ Mahjong Soul]: a Chinese mahjong client with a full English translation and the kind of "entry-level weeb" presentation sure to appeal to <strike>the widest possible audience</strike> addictive personalities, and an absolutely hellish gacha system for cosmetics. It's still a good and polished client, and if you can stop yourself from obsessing over rolling the perfect waifu or whatever you can ignore the gacha entirely, as just playing mahjong is free. Notably the English region is quarantined from China and Japan at low ranks, so compared to tenhou you're much less likely to get your ass beaten out of the gate by some eleven who's been playing every weekend for 40 years.
*[http://www.ron2.jp/ Ron2]: The official client of the Japan Professional Mahjong League. If you want to play with the tryhards but don't want to get your fingers chopped off with a box cutter, this is it. Free players are restricted to one ranked match per day.

*[[Final Fantasy]] XIV, believe it or not, there were people who signed up for the unlimited free trial of the game just to play Mahjong because a decent online client had not existed before Mahjong Soul came into the picture.
