Metin 2 vs Torn
Metin 2
Metin 2 is an oriental-themed MMORPG that was released back in 2004 and has somehow persevered until today. Granted that it is a very old game and its graphics may not be up to par, the game itself still provides plenty of action combat and grindy killing quests that some people may enjoy! There are 5 different characters for you to choose from including the rather special Sura and Lycan classes, as well as 3 different warring factions. Although the game is basically a stat-based game, there are also character skills that you can invest in and upgrade. Not to mention, the game’s mount system is perhaps one of the most unique and complex among all the MMOs out there. Of course, where there are mounts, usually, you’ll get pets as well and Metin 2 features quite a lot of them!To sum up, if you enjoy old school, grindy MMOs, then you might want to give Metin 2 a try. The game is decent for its age and even until now still has
Torn
Torn is a browser-based text-based MMORPG (now available on Android!) that is among the earliest crime-themed text-based MMOs on the internet. It has inspired multiple equally-popular games, including Zynga's Mafia Wars and David Maestri's Mob Wars, though the former isn't as lasting as Torn.In this game, you play as an up-and-coming mobster in a vast fictional city that is just ripe for you to do your misdeeds in. The types of crimes you can commit, albeit virtually, in this game in astounding, and this is more so if you take into consideration that levels of depth and intricacies that Torn goes to make the game as immersive as it could. Of course, if you "failed" a crime attempt, you can risk going to jail for quite some time, from minutes to hours to even several days. You can battle other mobsters as well, both individually and in a clan.
There are plenty of other stuff to do aside from diving into a life of crime or dueling others. You can take up legitimate jobs or set up a business of your own; you can hit the gym to level up your stats; you can enroll in an educational course; or you can even craft items and sell them to others by posting ads.
Torn is one of the longest-running, mafia-themed, and text-based MMO game out there, and those aforementioned are just some of the reasons why it managed to stick around for so long. If you enjoy text-based mafia games, you'll want to give this game a try!
