Fantage vs Identity
Fantage
Fantage is a fun 2D virtual world game where players get to chat and meet new friends, dress their avatars up fashionably, maintain an active in-game "social media profile", and explore the vast and fantastical world of Fantage. In this game, you are also given a virtual home to not only decorate but to host wild parties in by inviting every player on the server. There are plenty of games for you to play, achievements to earn, collectibles to... well, collect, and for those who long for a cute furry friend, you can even hatch or adopt adorable pets! Fantage also has a competitive side – it has a ranking system for the best dressed, the best home decorator and the best gamer.So, if you fancy your chances of getting these coveted and hotly-contested titles, you should absolutely sign up and compete. Fantage is one of the most entertaining 2D virtual worlds we've played so far. If you're into this sort of games, you should definitely drop by and take a look!

Identity
Identity aims to disrupt the traditional grindy and repetitive gameplay of modern MMORPGs by introducing an MMORPG that has an open world that's free of restrictions; a place where players can determine their own destinies as well as the world around them. The game features a massive, rich and immersive open world which includes all sorts of landscapes as well as means of moving around, such as vehicles, bicycles and trains. There are also jobs and careers of all types, both legit and illegal ones, that you can dive into. Each job you take has its own progression path which will see you rising up in ranks if you do your job well.The game even offers players their own virtual homes to decorate as they wish. Players can do a lot of stuff at home as well, such as crafting, growing plants, creating goods to be sold to other players and more. In fact, if you've the business acumen, you can set up a small enterprise and grow it into a huge corporation, especially considering that almost everything in the game can be designed and created by players.
In some way, Identity feels like a game that attempts to combine the fun of MMORPGs with a massive, sandbox-like virtual world with the likes of Second Life or IMVU. So, if this sounds like what you'd enjoy in a game, then you should definitely check it out.
