Anarchy Online vs Fiesta Online
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.
Fiesta Online
Fiesta Online is an anime-inspired MMORPG that contains some rather unique features that made it such a popular MMO of its time. In this game, you are given up to 6 character classes to choose from, including the Crusader class that will require you to have a level 60 character first. Level up your character via a variety of auto-routed quests that includes the special kingdom quest whereby you’ll be racing against time as you fight off invasions and a boss monster at the end. The game also features plenty of professions that you can choose 2 from along with a selection of gathering professions. There are also a lot of dungeons for you to run with friends or guild mates as well as PvP encounters such as the PK tournament and Guild wars for you to enjoy!Fiesta Online may have lost a lot of its shine in recent years (possibly due to age), but it is still worth a try, particularly to players who enjoy anime MMOs.
