Champions Online

Champions Online is a superhero MMORPG that was released by Cryptic Studios in late 2009. Cryptic Studios is responsible for the creation of the highly rated games, City of Heroes and City of Villains. Their newest game aims to take many of the components that made the sequels so great and add in a number of unique features that make Champions Online one of the most popular MMORPGs out there today.

One of the most popular features of Champions Online is its robust character creation. The game offers players one of the most advanced character design elements where you can express your character in almost any way your brain can imagine. It may be a little daunting at first, being able to choose from hundreds of parts imaginable, like legs, tails, ears, eyes, nose, anything! After character creation, you are faced with selecting the proper powers to battle your foes. Selecting initial superpowers is only the beginning as you will be upgrading to super stats and character focuses along your journey.

The gameplay is very smooth and action packed. Your character seems to effortlessly take down enemies with your main abilities while your basic powers allow you to increase your energy reserves while you fight. From your initial glimpse of Millennium City you?ll noticed that you are surrounded by a visually stunning world.

Champions Online was originally released as a pay to play MMORPG with a free trial, but their free-to-play option was added in early 2011. If you are a gamer who loves to express their avatars and take on the world, then this is the game for you. Feel free to browse some screenshots and gameplay videos before heading off to create your Superhero!

Flyff

Flyff

Fly For Fun (better known as Flyff) is a 3D fantasy MMORPG with fun animated graphics. Start as a Vagrant then chose one of four jobs at level fifteen.  Once you get the level twenty you have the option to buy a flying broom or skateboard, which takes the game to a whole new level when you get to explore the large game world from the skies.

Flyff is one of the most popular free-to-play MMORPGs available.  Flyff has a great animated graphical style that?s easy on the eyes, but is beginning to show its age. First released in 2005, the game is continually updated and is on its 12th ‘version’. Like many Asian MMORPGs, players in Flyff start out as a beginner class and then choose a job upon reaching a higher level.

This game has a very light feel and its monsters are not exactly terrifying. Killing cute mushrooms and other forest creatures during the early levels does make way for slightly more sinister villains as the game progresses. Unlike games like WoW, Flyff takes a more grinding approach with quests not a key part of the progression, and having only recently been added at all.

Even after several years, Flyff still stands out as both an easily accessible and enjoyable MMORPG experience. The game?s large community and all the content that has been added over time make up for the game?s old age.
