Everquest vs Might & Magic IX
Everquest
Everquest is perhaps the MMO game that started it (the MMO phenomenon) all. Here, we have the mother of modern MMORPGs where you take the role of a character in the immersive world of Norath. Create your character from one of 16 races and then pick one of the 16 different classes. Once you make your choice you are off to explore one of the biggest worlds around.With over 500 zones to explore, including raids, dungeons and huge quest areas there is so much to do. EverQuest now has 15 expansions in place and has switched over to a free to play model where you can enjoy the entire game for free. There is so much waiting for you to explore. Take a peek at a slice of history that is still amazing to play and see for yourself why this game was and still is very popular.
Might & Magic IX
Might & Magic IX once more takes you on an intriguing adventure, set in a standalone part of the world of Ashan. Here you are a part of shipwrecked raiders and you are set upon a strange path. The Beldonian warlord Tamur Leng is attempting an invasion, and it falls to you to stop him and save this land from the evil intentions of the warlord. Thus begins an adventure that will take you to the very limit. Though in a break from tradition there are very few references or returning characters from the other games in the series.With a different set of options, this has a unique rules set too, once more making it much more standalone than you would think. You get to choose the strengths, races and classes of the characters and from there you can continue to improve them, with many of the tactical elements you know, but with a less polished finish this game, while fun is one of the weaker of the series.
