Aside from its lore-focused questing system that's filled with amazing cinematic cut-scenes, there are tons of other features as well, including professions, character's traits system, epic movie-quality soundtracks and even having your own virtual home, in addition to the usual PvE and PvP events. Best yet, the game offers a gorgeous game world for players to immerse themselves and enjoy role-playing in!It may not be a "World of Warcraft"-type game, but the Lord of the Ring Online is certainly a MMORPG that is determined to be different from every other MMORPG... and it is successful to some extent. Fans of Lord of the Rings, even the not-so-hardcore ones, would definitely love this game!
Magecraft
Magecraft is a rather unique MMORTS game by Plarium whereby the gameplay seems to stand slightly out from the rest in terms of the usual MMORTS formula that they tend to use repeatedly for their games. However, the usual aspects of a classic MMORTS are still there, of course. You’ll need to build up your kingdom by managing your resources, defenses and your army. With a formidable army at hand, you can then subject other kingdoms under your rule and influence! There is also a new marshals system, whereby marshals are needed to head each battalion in your army, as well as a crafting system to provide crafted gear for your marshals The game even has remarkable graphics and an excellent music to boot.However, we are sad to say that the game has just recently been shut down (just last month) and the game is no longer available. However, if you enjoy this Plarium game, you might like to play their other, equally-exciting MMO strategy games as well. Do check them out!
