Anarchy Online vs Neverwinter

Anarchy Online is a science fiction themed massively multiplayer online roleplaying game set nearly 30,000 years into the future. Players dive into an age where surgical implants and microscopic nano-bots can relieve human suffering or transform beings into destructive weapons. On the planet of Rubi-Ka, conflict erupts as clans fight for liberation against the all-powerful Omni-Tek corporation. Amidst political games, military raids, cyborg assassins, and modified humans, leaders seek a resolution to the ongoing violence.

Neverwinter is a free-to-play, action MMORPG based on the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting as it rises from the ashes of destruction, taking you from besieged walls to subterranean passageways. Set a hundred years after the Spellplague and decades after a devastating volcanic eruption, the Jewel of the North is being rebuilt under Lord Neverember's protection. Brave adventurers from across the Savage North must answer the call to help restore the city while fighting off evil forces conspiring in the dark places of the world.
