Aion vs Ragnarok Online
Aion
Aion is an addictive and incredibly fun MMORPG set in the fantastical world of Asmodae or Elysea. Why the two worlds though? Well, basically, the game's lore differs depending on the faction you chose. In addition to the usual questing, raiding and PvP, the game even provides crafting professions, a very competitive trading market, the ability to set up personal vendors, and also cute, non-combat pets.Previously being a subscription-based game, its transition into the free-to-play model has opened up Aion to a much larger playerbase, allowing players from all around the world to enjoy its riveting storyline. So, don't miss out - experience this brilliant MMORPG today!
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
