Hunter X Online vs Salem
Hunter X Online
Hunter X Online is a browser-based, anime-themed MMO JRPG based on the highly popular manga series, Hunter X Hunter. In this game, players are given the opportunity to follow Gon's journey as he strives to walk in the footsteps of his missing father and become the best hunter the world has never seen. With many familiar characters that you can recruit as well as many villains and rival hunters to defeat, you’ll definitely have a fun time battling your opponents, be it in PvP or PvE. Venture into the wonderful yet danger-laden world of Hunter X Hunter in this brilliant MMORPG today!Salem
Salem is an old-school and somewhat obscure (but fun) sandbox MMORPG that unlike Wurm Online has a stronger emphasis on its in-depth crafting system and survival aspect rather than building.Similar to Wurm Online though, Salem is not a voxel-based game, but you are still able to mold the game environment through resource gathering, mining and digging in a way that reminds me of the currently-shelved MMORPG, EverQuest Next: Landmark. Of course, although not exactly the focus of the game, you can still build your homestead and the process is quite similar to Wurm Online except that it occurs at a much higher speed.
Not to mention, the game world in Salem is simply humongous to the point where it feels like an actual world. Salem also borrowed some features from ArcheAge where open-world PvP is the norm, so you'll need to be vigilant at all times, but players who kill and steal for no reason will be labelled as criminals and can be punished.
However, as good as it is despite being an indie MMO and all, Salem does have its fair share of flaws due to its low development budget. So, we'd recommend you to take a look at Salem without carrying along any high expectations. It's a pretty good MMORPG like Minecraft, but if you're expecting a Minecraft clone, you may end up disappointing yourself.
