ASTA Online vs Lineage II
ASTA Online
ASTA Online is a martial arts-based MMORPG where you play the protagonist who has been charged to save the mythical world of Samsara from the wrath of an evil god. Without a doubt, ASTA Online is an incredibly beautiful game, but that's not what makes it unique. The game has an amazingly detailed character customization aspect (and we don't only mean your character's looks) and a bloody and somewhat heated conflict between 2 warring factions that you'll have to choose 1 to side with.There are plenty of exciting activities in the game as well, in addition to the usual PvE and PvP events - Players can set bounties or go hunt for bounties themselves; embark on thrilling treasure hunts, go fishing with friends, or simply spend a large amount of time just sitting at the auction house trading your wares. Players even get a virtual home to decorate!
ASTA Online is the next generation of martial arts-based MMOs, much like Revelation Online is, to replace the aging games, Age of Wushu and Swordsman Online. If you often find yourself drawn to martial art games, then ASTA Online is definitely a game you'd like!
Lineage II
Lineage II is one of the world's largest and most immersive, fantasy-themed free-to-play MMORPG set in the vast and beautiful world of Aden. The game was originally released back in April of 2004 and has been actively growing and expanding ever since. Through 13 years of constant development, the game, the world, and even the mechanics have been updated to not only improve the overall game experience for its players but also to be relevant enough to appeal to the new generation of gamers.Lineage II has everything you'd expect from a huge MMORPG, including both PvE dungeons and PvP siege warfare battles as well as a well-mapped out yet non-linear character progression. The game even has 37 different classes (through the new Awakening process) and players can use skills and abilities from other classes to create a sub-class of their own. There are also pets and mounts that you can raise and collect (respectively). However, the most amazing thing about this game is that it's truly and completely free to play.
When it comes to MMORPGs that have withstood the test of time, there are only a few that can rival the legacy that Lineage II has set in the MMO genre. If you count yourself a true MMO fan, this is a game you simply must at least try. You'll be missing out if you don't!
