Ragnarok Online vs Skyforge
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!
Skyforge
Skyforge is a sci-fi-themed, free-to-play MMORPG that features an exciting action-based combat, gorgeous worlds to explore, and a uniquely different lore where gods and technology are combined. Being an immortal, you are duty-bound to help the many people of Aelion who are in need of rescue from the hordes of creatures that have somehow entered this dimension. By helping the people, you'll also gain followers and subsequently the ability to create an Order of your own. Gather faith from your loyal followers and your immortal will grow and gain new powers, stats and even classes - yes, you can swap between any unlocked classes as you wish - that will eventually help you transcend into one of the highest ranking gods there is. There are tons of exciting events, both PvE and PvP, for you to prove yourself in as well.Skyforge is one brilliant MMORPG that doesn't only have some of the most amazing graphics but also music, gameplay and lore. Granted that the game may feel rather daunting for a newcomer, the game is basically a package of everything an MMO player would enjoy in an action-based MMO. We can't recommend this game enough! If you're looking to be completely swept away, this is definitely the MMO game to play.
