Everquest vs Tartaros Rebirth
Everquest
Everquest is perhaps the MMO game that started it (the MMO phenomenon) all. Here, we have the mother of modern MMORPGs where you take the role of a character in the immersive world of Norath. Create your character from one of 16 races and then pick one of the 16 different classes. Once you make your choice you are off to explore one of the biggest worlds around.With over 500 zones to explore, including raids, dungeons and huge quest areas there is so much to do. EverQuest now has 15 expansions in place and has switched over to a free to play model where you can enjoy the entire game for free. There is so much waiting for you to explore. Take a peek at a slice of history that is still amazing to play and see for yourself why this game was and still is very popular.
Tartaros Rebirth
Tartaros Rebirth is the revived version of the anime-themed MMORPG that was popular back in the 2000s, Tartaros Online. Featuring everything you know and love from back in the day, this game has something new to offer as well, such as brand-new storylines. Like the original, you'll get to play as one of nine unique characters, each with their own personalities and skillsets. You can switch between them while you're in town, but not in dungeons or instances. Questing is the main way to level up in this game and the grind is real. However, there are tons of places for you to explore and you can even use higher level characters to complete quests for your lower level characters to turn in.The combat system is rather clunky though, so is its controls with keys that you'll probably have to rebind. Battles are played out in a semi-action-based manner, but since you can't really dodge, block or dash away from danger, all the "non-action" can be a bit underwhelming. Not to mention, the graphics isn't updated somehow and although it may have been acceptable back then, it is definitely not something that will appeal to players in this day and age.
So, in short, Tartaros Rebirth is a great anime-themed game to play, despite sharing many similarities with Dragon Nest, for nostalgic purposes but if you're simply looking for a new anime game to play, you might have a better time playing Lineage II: Revolution.
