Guardians of Ashenhold vs Ragnarok Online
Guardians of Ashenhold
Guardians of Ashenhold is a brand-new, fantasy-themed MMORPG which will put you into the role of one of the last Guardians humanity has against Korvallus the mighty dragon and his formidable forces that have been sweeping across the realm, causing chaos and destruction wherever they went.The game features everything you’d come to expect from a browser RPG, including some that you might be pleasantly be surprised about, such as the amazingly flexible camera view, astounding graphics on your browser, and a gameplay that’s a bit more “active” rather than having everything automated.
If you have always envisioned a time when browser RPGs have the graphical quality of standalone 3D MMOs, then you simply must check this game out.
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
