Ragnarok Online vs Runescape
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
Runescape
Runescape is actually the third version of the original free-to-play MMORPG. Featuring brillant new 3D graphics that is aimed towards the younger audience, the game also provides players with a whole lot new content to enjoy, a vast world to explore and ton of fun things to do in general, ranging from crafting to trading. The game has the same classless character system which allows you to literally build your character the way you like as well.Runescape has come quite a distance since its humble beginnings back in 2001 at the very start of the internet boom, and although it may not be as popular now as it may have been before, the game still manages to offer an epic adventure and a fun time for its players.
