Mabinogi vs Rift
Mabinogi
Mabinogi is a free-to-play anime MMORPG that has a nice blend between MMO dungeon crawler/ sandbox and life simulation. It is a rather dated game and is not very newbie-friendly in regards to its combat system and controls... unless you have someone on the inside guiding you as you play the game. The talents and rebirth system ensure that players can gradually (if they’re hardworking enough) learn all the talents if they want to. There are also plenty of dungeons, and PvP arenas that you can enjoy. If you like collecting stuff, you might be delighted to know that Mabinogi offers a plethora of pets, mounts and cosmetics that you can purchase via the in-game shop. So, join the loyal fan base at Mabinogi today and try the game out!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.
