Guild Wars 2 vs Rift
Guild Wars 2
Guild Wars 2 is one of the world's most recognizable MMORPGs and is listed among the topmost MMO games of all time... a position that is hotly contested by another equally epic MMORPG, World of Warcraft. However, unlike WoW, the game abhors the subscription model and, like Elder Scrolls Online, has opted for a more feasible and, honestly, a more player-fair model - the buy-once-to-play model.That aside, Guild Wars 2 has a ton of content that doesn't live up to its title but also make every cent you've spent to buy the game prove its worth several times over. What's not to like right? In addition to an incredibly addictive gameplay where combat is action-based and battles are affected by a one-of-a-kind, weapons-and-profession-based skills system, you get updates for free! There are fun, dynamic questing events, massive cross-server PvP events, and even... wait for it... underwater combat!
Best yet, the game has recently relented a little due to the release of its major expansion back in 2015, allowing new players to try the base game out for completely free! After all, it’s not every day you’ll get to enjoy one of the best games in MMO history for free. So, don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity and play Guild Wars 2 today!
Rift
Rift is one of the world's top 10 most popular MMORPGs even until today. In fact, many would agree that this game can be considered a classic, which will put it on the same level as epic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, and Runescape.In this game, you'll need to choose a side – either the Guardians or the Defiant – before venturing into the rift-torn world of Telara. The character customization in this game is absolutely brilliant mainly because you can literally mix and match Callings (a.k.a. classes) and the large number of souls (talent trees) to create the perfect “3-soul talent tree” to fit your own play style. Of course, aside from the usual raiding and PvPing, the game even has exciting world- and zone-based Rift events that involve players from the level cap to the newbies, as well as the incredibly fun, sandbox feature - Dimension Building. You'll be truly amazed at the various creative worlds that Rift players have built over the years.
Surprisingly, there isn't as many immersive MMORPGs anymore at this day and age, and at times, we're thankful that games like Rift still exists and is still going strong. If you pride yourself in being a hardcore MMO gamer, then this is definitely one game you mustn't miss out.
