Albion Online vs Archeage
Albion Online
Albion Online is an absolutely magnificent sandbox style MMORPG that recently went into its summer alpha stages and despite not being fully completed and released yet, it’s an incredible game that puts complete control in the players’ hands and delivers a full-fledged experience that games are rarely able to provide.For instance, the game doesn’t restrict you by imposing a class on you right from the get-go. Instead, you get to develop your character and mold him as you wish. This freedom in character customization makes the game’s PvP quite interesting because you’ll never know which skill sets your opponent will have. Its combat system is also pretty impressive and feels to be a lot more skill-based rather than the common hack-and-slash.
Being a sandbox game, you can build anything you want – most likely a shelter though – using the resource you’ve painstakingly harvested from the game environment. You can even craft items and furniture to be placed within your home, and of course, add some defenses so nobody would be crazy enough to try breaking in your place.
Albion Online is, without a doubt, an amazing MMORPG that fans of games like Minecraft would enjoy. It may not be voxel-based, but many of the game aspects does bring the latter game to mind... a lot.
Archeage
Archeage is one of the world's most innovative and outstanding, fantasy-themed sandbox MMORPG that's set in the vast gorgeous world of Auroria. Unlike many other similar games, Archeage offers a lot of freedom and variety to its players to create the characters that they want - 21 different vocations are definitely more than enough. The game is not merely an MMO where you simply complete quests, run dungeons and fight in PvP arenas; Instead, you will even get to enjoy a slew of other fun activities like sailing, gliding, composing music or home building and decorating. Let's not forget the game's amazing justice system where players who have broken game rules, such as killing other players without provocation, will be placed in front of a panel of juries - also chosen from the player population to face judgment.Despite facing intense competition from recent MMOs like Skyforge or Revelation Online, Archeage is still going pretty strong, mainly because of its loyal playerbase and partly because the game's just wonderful to play. If you have not tried this game before and you are a fan of MMO, you owe it to yourself to at least give this special game a go. Sign up today!
