Everquest vs World of Warcraft
Everquest
Everquest is perhaps the MMO game that started it (the MMO phenomenon) all. Here, we have the mother of modern MMORPGs where you take the role of a character in the immersive world of Norath. Create your character from one of 16 races and then pick one of the 16 different classes. Once you make your choice you are off to explore one of the biggest worlds around.With over 500 zones to explore, including raids, dungeons and huge quest areas there is so much to do. EverQuest now has 15 expansions in place and has switched over to a free to play model where you can enjoy the entire game for free. There is so much waiting for you to explore. Take a peek at a slice of history that is still amazing to play and see for yourself why this game was and still is very popular.
World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the world's most popular and renowned fantasy MMORPGs that offer a well-crafted lore of astounding depth, a wide class selection along with fun character progression and customization, an engaging gameplay as well as a ton of collectibles, be it mounts or pets, for you to... well, collect! Of course, if you really want to get into the game, there are also plenty more features for you to discover, including Pokemon-like pet battles, very competitive PvP, teamwork-focused PvE... you can even develop your own fortress and recruit troops to defend it.Due to its massiveness, it may be rather intimidating for a newcomer to learn the game, but once you've gotten down the fundamentals (especially the basics of playing the class of your choice), the game will draw you into its complex yet intriguing world of orcs, undead, elves, dragons and demons and you'll quickly realize what a gem of an MMORPG you've stumbled into. After all, there's a reason why this game still has millions of active players despite being more than a decade old!
World of Warcraft is a subscription-based MMO, but you can try the game for free for a month. If you're good enough, you can earn enough in-game gold to purchase additional subscription time too.
