Cloud Pirates vs Ultima Online
Cloud Pirates
Cloud Pirates is a breathtaking and exhilarating, arena-based, action MMO game where you'll get to play as a pirate captain of a majestic airship. Featuring an objective-based gameplay, Cloud Pirates will pit teams of players and their airships in the skies as they try to outmaneuver each other and shoot their opponents' hulls off. The ship customization aspect of the game is also incredibly in-depth and you'll even get to recruit crew to man your larger airships. The variety of game events give players a nice respite from the intense competitively-ranked matches as well.Despite its fantasy/sci-fi-theme, Cloud Pirates is a perfect alternative for players who enjoy piloting identifiable flying objects like planes and, in this case, airships. Has this game peaked your interest? Well, don't wait - sail the skies and around the floating islands of Sarnaut today and strive to become the best pirate captain there is!
Ultima Online
Ultima Online is one of the most legendary MMORPGs of all time. In fact, if you were to trace the entire MMORPG genre back to a single game, then you’d probably end up at Ultima Online. Being one of the longest running MMOs has its fair share of perks - a ton of updates to keep the gameplay fresh as well as a solid and loyal player base, and of course, downsides... there is only so much of the game they can update and graphics is, unfortunately, not one of them. That's actually great in some way since the game still retains its classic looks and charm.Ultima Online is a massive game and as you might expect, you can spend years in the game and still be pleasantly surprised to discover new parts of the game that you may not have known before. Aside from exploring the land, you can even set sail on your very own ship and make your mark at the seas as well. Character building is equally as impressive here mainly because you are free to mix and match over 50 different skills to come up with a build you feel comfortable with. However, if you're looking for a casual PvP experience, you won't find it here since your stuff can be looted by your opponent if you were defeated in combat.
As amazing as it is, Ultima Online is not a free-to-play game. That said, the game does offer a 14-day trial for players who would like to try the game out and who knows? You might just end up paying for the game for the sake of being able to fully experience the "founder" of modern-day MMOs.
