Anarchy Online vs Stormthrone
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.
Stormthrone
Stormthrone is an action MMORPG that can be played entirely on your browser. It contains many elements that are commonly seen in other popular games by R2 Games and yet it stands out from the rest by providing unique features such as a more engaging and interactive combat system as opposed to the "everything's automated" system that most web-based MMORPGs use. There are plenty of exciting dungeon runs, and the accompanying lootfest; thrilling battleground PvPs, as well as a rather interesting storyline. There are even a ton of cute pets and cool-looking mounts that you can collect and upgrade.So, do you think you have what it takes to beat back the demonic horde and to prevent the powerful Aeons from falling into the wrong hands?
