Era of Celestials vs Ultima Online
Era of Celestials
Era of Celestials is a brand-new mobile MMORPG by GTArcade, the creators of popular MMOs like League of Angels and Legacy of Discord. The game is set in a fantasy world that's descended into chaos, where you play as the Chosen One - the hero who is to inherit the powers of the angelic demon-slayers, the Elysians. However, even with the power at hand, you still need to nurture and hone it before you can finally go head-to-head with the leader of the demonic invasion, the archdemon.Like many other MMOs published by the company, this game features a slew of exciting and engaging PvE and PvP features, impressive graphics (for a mobile title) and an enjoyable, casual-like gameplay. Era of Celestials even has plenty of gorgeous costumes and cosmetic items, cool mounts and adorable pets to collect and use.
So, overall, Era of Celestials is, without a doubt, a top-notch mobile MMORPG that is specially designed to keep you hooked and coming back for more. It does favor whales over non-spenders in many ways, but generally, you should be able to make it to the top even if you don't spend a single dime.
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.
