Anarchy Online vs Monkey King Online
Anarchy Online
Anarchy Online is one of the first science fiction-theme MMORPG when it was introduced in 2001 and unsurprisingly, the game was very well-received back then. Originally a subscription-based game, it was one of the first games to introduce free trials to players who wanted to give the game a try. It features deep character interaction and development and has a wide range of classes to choose from. The gameplay is entertaining and the lore will delight those who enjoy a good original storyline.However, Anarchy Online is one of those old-school MMOs that had not aged well. The more than 15-year-old graphics isn't exactly what it used to be, and despite the huge amount of content you get to enjoy, once you've done everything there is to do in this game, you'll start to gradually feel bored since there will be no additional content, ever. The publishers have also stated that they will only keep the servers running and that's about it. So, cheaters and exploiters pretty much roam freely here and you can expect a pretty deprecated in-game economy and currency.
So, although many have considered this game as one of the more underrated MMORPG classics, Anarchy Online may not be the sort of game you'd want to spend too much time in, mainly because right now there are so many other options out there, unless it's for nostalgic purposes.
Monkey King Online
Monkey King Online is great-looking and fast-paced, browser-based MMORPG based on the highly popular fictional Chinese legend, “The Journey to the West”. In spite of this, the game differs from the other "Monkey King-inspired games" by having a unique shapeshifting system involving immortals and mounts. Your mounts and pets will also participate in battles, helping you out whenever they can. It is also unique to see the incorporation of meditation during the idle times in the game, so your character will not ‘waste’ time not levelling even when you decide to take a quick snack break. The game also contains everything an MMO should have, which includes questing, PvE, PvP, guilds, guild wars, gear progression, and many others.This is a pretty good game overall and is worth the time you can spare for it. The best yet – it is free-to-play! So, head over there and experience Monkey King Online now... and remember, just because you’re a hero, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get into some mischief along the way!
