Salem vs Vindictus
Salem
Salem is an old-school and somewhat obscure (but fun) sandbox MMORPG that unlike Wurm Online has a stronger emphasis on its in-depth crafting system and survival aspect rather than building.Similar to Wurm Online though, Salem is not a voxel-based game, but you are still able to mold the game environment through resource gathering, mining and digging in a way that reminds me of the currently-shelved MMORPG, EverQuest Next: Landmark. Of course, although not exactly the focus of the game, you can still build your homestead and the process is quite similar to Wurm Online except that it occurs at a much higher speed.
Not to mention, the game world in Salem is simply humongous to the point where it feels like an actual world. Salem also borrowed some features from ArcheAge where open-world PvP is the norm, so you'll need to be vigilant at all times, but players who kill and steal for no reason will be labelled as criminals and can be punished.
However, as good as it is despite being an indie MMO and all, Salem does have its fair share of flaws due to its low development budget. So, we'd recommend you to take a look at Salem without carrying along any high expectations. It's a pretty good MMORPG like Minecraft, but if you're expecting a Minecraft clone, you may end up disappointing yourself.
Vindictus
Vindictus is an exhilarating and bloody action-based MMORPG set in a world filled with creatures tainted by the darkness that has enveloped the land. In this game, you play as 1 of the 9 characters and are later recruited to join a band of professional mercenaries, the Crimson Blades, to rid the world of the monsters that plagued it... for a price.In addition to having an intriguing story to back it up, the gameplay in Vindictus is also incredibly fun mainly due to its fast-paced and action-based combat that's complimented with a robust combo system. After all, timely dodges and attacks are the key to minimizing the damage taken and maximizing your dps output. There is even a crafting system where you can combine materials obtained from slain mobs to create your own armor and weapons, and multiple PvP arena options for you to test your mettle.
In some way, Vindictus is like a darker version of Dragon Nest, but it is equally as addictive and fun to play. Sounds just like a game you'd like? Well then, download the game now!
