Anarchy Online vs Crystal Saga II
Anarchy Online
Anarchy Online is one of the first science fiction-theme MMORPG when it was introduced in 2001 and unsurprisingly, the game was very well-received back then. Originally a subscription-based game, it was one of the first games to introduce free trials to players who wanted to give the game a try. It features deep character interaction and development and has a wide range of classes to choose from. The gameplay is entertaining and the lore will delight those who enjoy a good original storyline.However, Anarchy Online is one of those old-school MMOs that had not aged well. The more than 15-year-old graphics isn't exactly what it used to be, and despite the huge amount of content you get to enjoy, once you've done everything there is to do in this game, you'll start to gradually feel bored since there will be no additional content, ever. The publishers have also stated that they will only keep the servers running and that's about it. So, cheaters and exploiters pretty much roam freely here and you can expect a pretty deprecated in-game economy and currency.
So, although many have considered this game as one of the more underrated MMORPG classics, Anarchy Online may not be the sort of game you'd want to spend too much time in, mainly because right now there are so many other options out there, unless it's for nostalgic purposes.
Crystal Saga II
Crystal Saga II is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser-based MMORPG, Crystal Saga, that's released just last year. The gameplay itself rivals that of its predecessor and even of other current web-based MMOs, but its graphics has seen a huge revamp and has improved by leaps and bounds. This is evident during your adventures as you will be traversing multiple regions, as well as venturing into various dungeons and battlegrounds. In terms of the class choices, there are six classes to choose from in this game, namely: Knight, Ranger, Rogue, Beastmaster, Mage, and Priest. Each class has varying skills, and it’s a must to pick one according to your play style. You can also recruit a pet to fight for you, marry another character, join a guild and many more.With such an immersive gameplay, Crystal Saga II is so much better than the first game, and it's not surprising to see that this game is currently getting traction. So, if you love browser MMOs, this is one game you wouldn't want to miss!
