Old School Runescape vs Shadowbound
Old School Runescape
Old School Runescape is the very first old-school version of Runescape, one of the largest and earliest 2.5D free-to-play MMORPG. For sentimental or nostalgic's sake, players can once again dive into the wonderful and expansive world of Gielinor. For players who have played Runescape back when it was "cool" before, they might already know about the funny quests that they get to enjoy, the extensive character customization and progression system, the robust and frankly thriving auction/trading system, the old-school crafting, fun group dungeons and the crazy ton of events and other content to keep you engaged for months on end. Oh and of course, the lose everything you are carrying if you die and couldn't make it back to your corpse in time before other players stumble on it and loot it.The hardcore players of Runescape had to pressure Jagex to bring back the Old School Runescape once the game franchise has evolved so much to cater to the younger generation of players and in some way, we are glad they did. This game is a testament to how far Runescape as a franchise has come and not to mention, it's truly one of the best classic MMORPGs of all time.
Shadowbound
Shadowbound is a browser-based MMORPG by R2 Games that provides players with a range of features that are customary in browser-based MMORPGs, such as item enhancement, all-powerful guardians and mercenaries that can be recruited to join your team, mounts, pets, PvE dungeons, PvP arenas, wings, auto-routing for quests, guilds, and auto-combat, as well as a cliche storyline. Like most of its simular games, you can expect tons of fun timely events to help break the monotony of simply leveling up and upgrading your team of characters.The thing is Shadowbound doesn't really offer something... anything... that can help it gain extra recognition from even among R2 Games' other casual MMOs. This is quite unfortunate because this is a rather decent browser MMOPRG. That said, if you are itching for a casual MMORPG to play, you might want to check out Shadowbound. It can definitely help you scratch that itch away.
