Ragnarok Online 2 vs World of Warcraft
Ragnarok Online 2
Ragnarok Online 2 is a 3D anime-themed MMORPG that is the incredibly well-received sequel to the popular game of the millenium, Ragnarok Online, which was released 10 years after the launch of the original game. In actuality, many players would argue that Ragnarok Online 2 is not a sequel but rather a revamped version of the original game since the game is essentially the same except with massive overhauls in terms of its gameplay mainly to accomodate the new 3D graphics but also to incorporate popular new game mechanics. There are also changes done to the game's previous card system that now allows players to equip the cards to their character rather than attaching them to the gear they use.Ragnarok Online 2 may not be drastically different from its predecessor when it comes to its contents, but the shiny new 3D look does breathe new life into the Ragnarok franchise, attracting a new generation of players who likely grew up only knowing and playing 3D games. In some ways, this game is a great alternative to Ragnarok Online if you can't stand the 2D look.
World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the world's most popular and renowned fantasy MMORPGs that offer a well-crafted lore of astounding depth, a wide class selection along with fun character progression and customization, an engaging gameplay as well as a ton of collectibles, be it mounts or pets, for you to... well, collect! Of course, if you really want to get into the game, there are also plenty more features for you to discover, including Pokemon-like pet battles, very competitive PvP, teamwork-focused PvE... you can even develop your own fortress and recruit troops to defend it.Due to its massiveness, it may be rather intimidating for a newcomer to learn the game, but once you've gotten down the fundamentals (especially the basics of playing the class of your choice), the game will draw you into its complex yet intriguing world of orcs, undead, elves, dragons and demons and you'll quickly realize what a gem of an MMORPG you've stumbled into. After all, there's a reason why this game still has millions of active players despite being more than a decade old!
World of Warcraft is a subscription-based MMO, but you can try the game for free for a month. If you're good enough, you can earn enough in-game gold to purchase additional subscription time too.
