ASTA Online vs World of Warcraft
ASTA Online
ASTA Online is a martial arts-based MMORPG where you play the protagonist who has been charged to save the mythical world of Samsara from the wrath of an evil god. Without a doubt, ASTA Online is an incredibly beautiful game, but that's not what makes it unique. The game has an amazingly detailed character customization aspect (and we don't only mean your character's looks) and a bloody and somewhat heated conflict between 2 warring factions that you'll have to choose 1 to side with.There are plenty of exciting activities in the game as well, in addition to the usual PvE and PvP events - Players can set bounties or go hunt for bounties themselves; embark on thrilling treasure hunts, go fishing with friends, or simply spend a large amount of time just sitting at the auction house trading your wares. Players even get a virtual home to decorate!
ASTA Online is the next generation of martial arts-based MMOs, much like Revelation Online is, to replace the aging games, Age of Wushu and Swordsman Online. If you often find yourself drawn to martial art games, then ASTA Online is definitely a game you'd like!
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.
