MapleStory vs Poptropica
MapleStory
MapleStory is a free-to-play, 2D side-scrolling, anime-themed MMORPG that offers fun adventures across a vibrant and massive world along with adorable "chibi" characters and creatures. There are plenty of character jobs and factions that you can choose from before setting off into the world to complete quests, grind mobs and battle challenging bosses. Upgrade your characters often by increasing their equipments, skills, abilities and stats. Fancy adventuring in a cool outfit with a cute pet and mount by your side? Well, you can get these in the game shop too.MapleStory used to be incredibly popular because it was the first few free-to-play MMOs of its time, but now, it is still popular mainly because of the timeless classic that it is. Better yet, even after more than a decade since its release, the game and its community is still going strong. MMO players, especially ones who are skeptical of 2D MMOs, should definitely give this game a try.
Poptropica
Poptropica is an amazing child-friendly virtual world game that's filled with a plethora of often-themed locations to explore, new friends to meet, and a ton of fun mini-games to enjoy. In fact, some of these mini-games also have multiplayer mode so you can play against a live player in real-time, as opposed to playing against yourself, constantly trying to increase your high score. You'll even get to customize your avatar in the game by either changing its features or dressing it up in different sets of clothes and accessories (some of which are also themed).Poptropica is a very entertaining game that also provides a safe environment for younger players to meet new people and have some fun. Do check it out if you enjoy playing social virtual worlds.
