My Blacksail vs Ultima Online
My Blacksail
My Blacksail is a pretty fun, pirate-themed MMORPG whereby you get to captain your very own fleet of ships in a dangerous, monsters-filled realm hidden behind the dimensional gateway at Bermuda Triangle. Take on challenging monsters and rival pirates alike and hone your skills. Upgrade your ship or craft a new one so you can defeat stronger and tougher opponents. The variety of dungeons and quests provided in this game is also pretty amazing. Not to mention, the gameplay is very well-executed but the most interesting part is that the rules of its turn-based combat changes depending on the type of ship you use.With great visuals and sound to boot, My Blacksail is a solid browser MMO with plenty of fun activities to do. Do give it a try!
Ultima Online
Ultima Online is one of the most legendary MMORPGs of all time. In fact, if you were to trace the entire MMORPG genre back to a single game, then you’d probably end up at Ultima Online. Being one of the longest running MMOs has its fair share of perks - a ton of updates to keep the gameplay fresh as well as a solid and loyal player base, and of course, downsides... there is only so much of the game they can update and graphics is, unfortunately, not one of them. That's actually great in some way since the game still retains its classic looks and charm.Ultima Online is a massive game and as you might expect, you can spend years in the game and still be pleasantly surprised to discover new parts of the game that you may not have known before. Aside from exploring the land, you can even set sail on your very own ship and make your mark at the seas as well. Character building is equally as impressive here mainly because you are free to mix and match over 50 different skills to come up with a build you feel comfortable with. However, if you're looking for a casual PvP experience, you won't find it here since your stuff can be looted by your opponent if you were defeated in combat.
As amazing as it is, Ultima Online is not a free-to-play game. That said, the game does offer a 14-day trial for players who would like to try the game out and who knows? You might just end up paying for the game for the sake of being able to fully experience the "founder" of modern-day MMOs.
