Identity vs Perfect World International
Identity
Identity aims to disrupt the traditional grindy and repetitive gameplay of modern MMORPGs by introducing an MMORPG that has an open world that's free of restrictions; a place where players can determine their own destinies as well as the world around them. The game features a massive, rich and immersive open world which includes all sorts of landscapes as well as means of moving around, such as vehicles, bicycles and trains. There are also jobs and careers of all types, both legit and illegal ones, that you can dive into. Each job you take has its own progression path which will see you rising up in ranks if you do your job well.The game even offers players their own virtual homes to decorate as they wish. Players can do a lot of stuff at home as well, such as crafting, growing plants, creating goods to be sold to other players and more. In fact, if you've the business acumen, you can set up a small enterprise and grow it into a huge corporation, especially considering that almost everything in the game can be designed and created by players.
In some way, Identity feels like a game that attempts to combine the fun of MMORPGs with a massive, sandbox-like virtual world with the likes of Second Life or IMVU. So, if this sounds like what you'd enjoy in a game, then you should definitely check it out.
Perfect World International
Perfect World International is an oriental/Asian-themed MMORPG which features a massive world for you to explore as you contribute to the global effort to defeat the evil that is gradually tainting the land. Developed by one of China's biggest games publisher/developer, Perfect World, this game isn't exactly "new" by any definition but by being an "old-dog", the game can offer an incredible amount of content that new players won't be able to simply burn through within even a month of hardcore gaming.The game also has a ton of unique character classes that you can play as and there are a variety of cool weapons, armor and wings for you to collect. What's most amazing about this game is its massive PvP territory wars where each race battle one another to claim territories for their people.
Perfect World International is among the handful of old-school MMORPGs that have managed to not only stick around until this day and age (and for good reasons too!) but also managed to be relevant enough to its players so as to not lose its playerbase. So, if you're eager to try a classic Asian MMORPG, this is a great game to download.
