Cube World vs Rift
Cube World
Cube World is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG that follows the same realm of thinking as Trove did. The game features an open world filled with plenty of new locations and hidden areas for you to discover wiht strategically-placed portals to hlep you get to different lands at a much more rapid pace. There are even dungeons you can conquer and dungeon bosses that you can defeat to get that sweet, sweet loot. For gear upgrades, you'll need platinum coins which can be earned by doing daily missions. As you venture across the world, you'll also get to use and hone your adventure skills, including but not limited to climbing, sailing, hand-gliding and more.Cube World has so much potential to be Trove's main rival but unfortunately, the game has apparently faded out once again to obscurity due to lack of updates. However, if you are interested to give the game a try, you can still play the game with the small group of loyal fans who are still sticking around in the game.
Rift
Rift is one of the world's top 10 most popular MMORPGs even until today. In fact, many would agree that this game can be considered a classic, which will put it on the same level as epic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, and Runescape.In this game, you'll need to choose a side – either the Guardians or the Defiant – before venturing into the rift-torn world of Telara. The character customization in this game is absolutely brilliant mainly because you can literally mix and match Callings (a.k.a. classes) and the large number of souls (talent trees) to create the perfect “3-soul talent tree” to fit your own play style. Of course, aside from the usual raiding and PvPing, the game even has exciting world- and zone-based Rift events that involve players from the level cap to the newbies, as well as the incredibly fun, sandbox feature - Dimension Building. You'll be truly amazed at the various creative worlds that Rift players have built over the years.
Surprisingly, there isn't as many immersive MMORPGs anymore at this day and age, and at times, we're thankful that games like Rift still exists and is still going strong. If you pride yourself in being a hardcore MMO gamer, then this is definitely one game you mustn't miss out.
