NosTale vs Rift
NosTale
NosTale is an anime-inspired MMORPG filled with adorable, chibi-like characters set a vibrant, colorful world. Specialize your adventurer into either a Swordsman, Archer or Mage and set off on an amazing journey to catch as many pets as you can for your collection, or if you're a tad bit more picky, to catch only the strongest pets so you can win all your battles. Sometimes, you will also get an NPC as a companion on your travels. Players are given plenty of methods to improve their own characters along with that of their pets and companions. In addition to the usual PvP and PvE content, the game even has special events that will teleport you to a limited-time mini-dungeon where you'll need to fight various creatures and enemies alone or with some friends.NosTale is actually quite similar to other cute-looking, pet-catching/collecting MMORPGs where pets play an important role in the games' combat system, much like Digimon Master Online or any Pokemon game. So, if you enjoy this sort of games, you might want to check out NosTale!
Rift
Rift is one of the world's top 10 most popular MMORPGs even until today. In fact, many would agree that this game can be considered a classic, which will put it on the same level as epic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, and Runescape.In this game, you'll need to choose a side – either the Guardians or the Defiant – before venturing into the rift-torn world of Telara. The character customization in this game is absolutely brilliant mainly because you can literally mix and match Callings (a.k.a. classes) and the large number of souls (talent trees) to create the perfect “3-soul talent tree” to fit your own play style. Of course, aside from the usual raiding and PvPing, the game even has exciting world- and zone-based Rift events that involve players from the level cap to the newbies, as well as the incredibly fun, sandbox feature - Dimension Building. You'll be truly amazed at the various creative worlds that Rift players have built over the years.
Surprisingly, there isn't as many immersive MMORPGs anymore at this day and age, and at times, we're thankful that games like Rift still exists and is still going strong. If you pride yourself in being a hardcore MMO gamer, then this is definitely one game you mustn't miss out.
