Rift vs Trove
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.
Trove
Trove is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG that is quite similar to the insanely-popular game, Minecraft. Uniquely though, Trove has a lot more of the MMO element rather than Minecraft. You can play as any 1 of the whopping 14 character classes available and venture out into the many different biomes and worlds to search for resources (both common and rare) to gather, dungeons to conquer and randomly-spawned world bosses to defeat. There are even plenty of cool-looking mounts and pets that you can search for and collect.Not to mention, you can have fun turning the stuff you've collected into various tools and weapons via the game's in-depth crafting system too. Or you could simply use these blocks as building materials to construct your own home in allocated spots scattered throughout the game world. Interestingly, the game also allows players to use its sandbox feature to design and build amazing dungeons. All submitted player-made dungeons will then be judged by the developers and a select few will then make it into the actual game world. How amazing it would be to see players trying their darnest to raid a dungeon you've built!
It's a no brainer that if you enjoy Minecraft but find its multiplayer a bit lacking, then you'll love Trove. However, we would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves voxel-based sandbox games like Roblox and Kogama as well.
