Age of Conan: Unchained vs Runescape
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Runescape
Runescape is actually the third version of the original free-to-play MMORPG. Featuring brillant new 3D graphics that is aimed towards the younger audience, the game also provides players with a whole lot new content to enjoy, a vast world to explore and ton of fun things to do in general, ranging from crafting to trading. The game has the same classless character system which allows you to literally build your character the way you like as well.Runescape has come quite a distance since its humble beginnings back in 2001 at the very start of the internet boom, and although it may not be as popular now as it may have been before, the game still manages to offer an epic adventure and a fun time for its players.
