Sword Saga vs World of Warcraft
Sword Saga
Sword Saga is a pretty different, browser-based MMORPG from R2 Games. This game puts you in the shoes of a mercenary leader who is embroiled in a great war over the very valuable and powerful Starmoon Shards which you are charged to collect so as to put a stop to the impending demon invasion. Although Sword Saga feels like every other web-based MMORPGs that you might have played before, this game has a lot more strategic depth to than you might expect that is only revealed later on in the game.Sword Saga is also a game that's really easy to get into, and it has plenty of events and things to do to keep you engaged throughout the first few hours of the game. It may not be an innovative game but it manages to do all of the things you want/ would expect from a browser MMO game very well.
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.
