Age of Conan: Unchained vs Seas of Gold
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Seas of Gold
Seas of Gold is a very interesting naval-themed browser MMORPG in which players get to embark on an epic adventure across the seven seas of the world in search of adventure, conflict, and of course to sweet, sweet plunder! The game plays out a bit like other seafaring MMOs including Pirate Storm - there are quests to complete, sea creatures to slay, and instances to clear. There is even a PvP aspect, allowing players to come up with creative strategies to make use of their environment and ambush their opponent. Like most R2's games, there are plenty of events to keep you engaged even after you've had your share of looting and slaying.Although the game may not win any award in the "best-looking game" category, Seas of Gold is still a decent and fun MMORPG that lets you play as a dashing captain of a magnificent ship, sailing across the seven seas. So, if you're interested, be sure to try this game out!
