Runescape vs Salem
Runescape
Runescape is actually the third version of the original free-to-play MMORPG. Featuring brillant new 3D graphics that is aimed towards the younger audience, the game also provides players with a whole lot new content to enjoy, a vast world to explore and ton of fun things to do in general, ranging from crafting to trading. The game has the same classless character system which allows you to literally build your character the way you like as well.Runescape has come quite a distance since its humble beginnings back in 2001 at the very start of the internet boom, and although it may not be as popular now as it may have been before, the game still manages to offer an epic adventure and a fun time for its players.
Salem
Salem is an old-school and somewhat obscure (but fun) sandbox MMORPG that unlike Wurm Online has a stronger emphasis on its in-depth crafting system and survival aspect rather than building.Similar to Wurm Online though, Salem is not a voxel-based game, but you are still able to mold the game environment through resource gathering, mining and digging in a way that reminds me of the currently-shelved MMORPG, EverQuest Next: Landmark. Of course, although not exactly the focus of the game, you can still build your homestead and the process is quite similar to Wurm Online except that it occurs at a much higher speed.
Not to mention, the game world in Salem is simply humongous to the point where it feels like an actual world. Salem also borrowed some features from ArcheAge where open-world PvP is the norm, so you'll need to be vigilant at all times, but players who kill and steal for no reason will be labelled as criminals and can be punished.
However, as good as it is despite being an indie MMO and all, Salem does have its fair share of flaws due to its low development budget. So, we'd recommend you to take a look at Salem without carrying along any high expectations. It's a pretty good MMORPG like Minecraft, but if you're expecting a Minecraft clone, you may end up disappointing yourself.
