Perfect World International vs World of Warcraft
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.
World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the world's most popular and renowned fantasy MMORPGs that offer a well-crafted lore of astounding depth, a wide class selection along with fun character progression and customization, an engaging gameplay as well as a ton of collectibles, be it mounts or pets, for you to... well, collect! Of course, if you really want to get into the game, there are also plenty more features for you to discover, including Pokemon-like pet battles, very competitive PvP, teamwork-focused PvE... you can even develop your own fortress and recruit troops to defend it.Due to its massiveness, it may be rather intimidating for a newcomer to learn the game, but once you've gotten down the fundamentals (especially the basics of playing the class of your choice), the game will draw you into its complex yet intriguing world of orcs, undead, elves, dragons and demons and you'll quickly realize what a gem of an MMORPG you've stumbled into. After all, there's a reason why this game still has millions of active players despite being more than a decade old!
World of Warcraft is a subscription-based MMO, but you can try the game for free for a month. If you're good enough, you can earn enough in-game gold to purchase additional subscription time too.
