Greetings and hello once again.

Wonderland Online is almost 4 years old now. And it will have a celebration to all Wonderland Online fanatics there for sure. Wonderland Online 4 years back was the first, yes I meant to say, the first MMORPG that introduced Strategic Turn-Based gameplay and interface to the online gaming industry. But do you think it has no formidable competitions after its existence? Think otherwise. I am not here to introduce these games, hence, I am posting this just to show you, what are the games Wonderland Online is up against. No offense or insults attached, just want to inform you the facts.

So far there are only 2 MMORPG's that also use Strategic Turn-Based gameplay into their online games. And here they are:

Atlantica Online
Country of Origin: South Korea
Releasing Year: 2008
English Distributor: NDoors Games, GameNGame

2 years after Wonderland Online's impact over online gaming, Atlantica Online made its mark before it go global. It was the most anticipated game on MMORPG.com and MMOSITE.com prior to its open beta on Winter 2008. Gaming experts says that this game revolutionized the game should be played. "It makes you think rather than pressing buttons.", as one expert says.

In this game, every unit, or the mercenary is specialized on something. A lancer and gunner can attack an enemy group in a column. The "Viking" can smash its huge axe in a single stroke on those enemies aligned in a row.

Like Wonderland Online, you need to complete a specific quest in order for you to get the mercenary that you would love to add to your unit, like getting Kanako, or Angela in WLO.

It also has a PvE(Player vs. Environment), dungeons, instances and PvP(Player vs. Player) system, just like WLO. This game is appealing to the eyes, since it's very well refined 3D, meaning that the characters, the environment and others are detailed, as in very detailed, right to the very little ends of it.

Before it's international debut, Atlantica Online already won awards in its home country, and received many great reviews from different MMORPG dedicated sites and gaming fans. A very big competition indeed.

Monster Forest Online
Country of Origin: China
Year of Release: Summer 2010
English Distributor: TBA

This game, still under development already hit #1 in the most anticipated game in the MMOSITE.com. But already had its closed beta testing in Vietnam, Thailand, China and Taiwan.

If you played console RPG's like Chrono Cross, think of this game is the cute version of it. Again, another big rival of Wonderland.

Final Thoughts

When someone started, someone might be following and would try to outdo you. That's what we call competition. We just have to admit that, every innovation that being pioneered, will always be outrun by others that has a better idea to you, even you set the foundation to it.

It only goes down on one thing, competitiveness. Are you going to eat the same devils egg over and over for the rest of your life, or you will look outside of the window, and judge it for yourself, which is better.

Happy summer everyone!
