Crystal Saga II vs Ultima Online
Crystal Saga II
Crystal Saga II is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser-based MMORPG, Crystal Saga, that's released just last year. The gameplay itself rivals that of its predecessor and even of other current web-based MMOs, but its graphics has seen a huge revamp and has improved by leaps and bounds. This is evident during your adventures as you will be traversing multiple regions, as well as venturing into various dungeons and battlegrounds. In terms of the class choices, there are six classes to choose from in this game, namely: Knight, Ranger, Rogue, Beastmaster, Mage, and Priest. Each class has varying skills, and it’s a must to pick one according to your play style. You can also recruit a pet to fight for you, marry another character, join a guild and many more.With such an immersive gameplay, Crystal Saga II is so much better than the first game, and it's not surprising to see that this game is currently getting traction. So, if you love browser MMOs, this is one game you wouldn't want to miss!
Ultima Online
Ultima Online is one of the most legendary MMORPGs of all time. In fact, if you were to trace the entire MMORPG genre back to a single game, then you’d probably end up at Ultima Online. Being one of the longest running MMOs has its fair share of perks - a ton of updates to keep the gameplay fresh as well as a solid and loyal player base, and of course, downsides... there is only so much of the game they can update and graphics is, unfortunately, not one of them. That's actually great in some way since the game still retains its classic looks and charm.Ultima Online is a massive game and as you might expect, you can spend years in the game and still be pleasantly surprised to discover new parts of the game that you may not have known before. Aside from exploring the land, you can even set sail on your very own ship and make your mark at the seas as well. Character building is equally as impressive here mainly because you are free to mix and match over 50 different skills to come up with a build you feel comfortable with. However, if you're looking for a casual PvP experience, you won't find it here since your stuff can be looted by your opponent if you were defeated in combat.
As amazing as it is, Ultima Online is not a free-to-play game. That said, the game does offer a 14-day trial for players who would like to try the game out and who knows? You might just end up paying for the game for the sake of being able to fully experience the "founder" of modern-day MMOs.
