Poll: Minecraft is apparently RuneScape.

[Cenequus]

If you really want to compare Runescape to something compare it with Terraria. Still really where do people come up with this random ideas,first the guy with anime vs warhammer now this. Sorry if I don't believe to "a friend said" thing.

Minecraft stealing RuneScape's thunder? I'd say About just as much as the country of Belgium steals away the spotlight from Christopher Walken.

 

[Lord Devius]

...Oh my goodness, RuneScape did something then Minecraft did similar things.

It's not like it's a process that happens in real life or anything.

...Dumbass friend you have.

That's about it.

Also, the poll is a bit unrelated, and nonsensical. Two entirely different categories of games cannot be compared so simply.

 

[fates_puppet13]

your friend is a retard (no offence)
minecraft has a much better mechanic than your generic free mmorpg

hell
minecraft is a better rpg than runescape


to put this in a broader context
i played runescape for months and it was boring
i played minecraft for a week and i have a huge sense of atchievement and alot of fun

BS, Runescape is an MMO, while Minecraft is a sanbox building game, you can't compare them.

You can compare which one has more fans

But that wouldn't really help in determining which one was "better".

Annnnnd the thread should be done here.
End of Argument.

 

[attackshark]

you're friend is an idiot.

I hope this was done for irony.

On topic, I don't even see how the games are comparable. Unless you can build stuff in runescape now.

no. . . NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! what have i done? WHAT HAVE I DOONNNE??!!

how could i, a long time advocate of possessive forms, use the blasted contraction? HOW?? it doesn't add up!

I was sabotaged, that's it! weight, WEIGHT! i know! i was hacked! BY ANONYMOUS! right their is the only logical explanation!

hours is the day of discontent! they're must be SOME WAY i can write this wrong, accept that i can't think of any. . . i've all ready used my soul for a f1 racer. maybe Satan will cut me a brake. perhaps my ant will lend me her soul. i think she keeps it in a birth next to a portrait of my grandfather. perhaps my internet tail of woe will strike a cord within her.

but i wouldn't have a single scent to pay her with! would she even let me bye it? she does, in fact, sit on the bored of education. but then, i'm only a miner. who new?

PLEASE FORGIVE ME, INTERNET STRANGER! MY IGNORANCE NOS KNOW BOUNDS!

 

[Grufflenark]

Dammit I wish I voted Rick Astley..

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

Let's face it, World of Warcraft is better than Batman, Arkham Asylum. You can do so much more in it!

End of the day, this argument is completely just...I don't even know.

Ah dear. Your friend is a total lad:'].
Slowly dying house plant?
I like it.
I shall be using.

I love you.

 

[Custard_Angel]

There is no comparison between the two...

Tonnes of games have resource gathering and crafting aspects, calling them clones is ridiculous.

 

[jpoon]

Your friend definitely is a dipshit, let him keep playing runecraft everyone else will likely be better off with him not on their multiplay servers.

 

[C95J]

wow I wish I could vote for both options on the poll

OT: your friend has probably never played Minecraft, from what I can gather, because they are both completely different games (and yes, Minecraft is better).

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

Yeah, Runescape has content.

 

[Aprilgold]

Nothing like runescape, but with texture packs and me always wanting to create my own skin definitely means the game could look more pleasing to the eye. At least thats how I see it, if texture packs are made for the whole game, then don't you think the game could at least look better? My friend sees that the original texture pack looks great, while I think it looks like shit, oh well, opinions, opinions.

 

[Biodeamon]

Burn the heretic! burrrrrrnnnnnnnn iiiiitt!

 

[LightningBanks]

Lemme know when you need to buy the remaining 60% of content in Minecraft, including the ability to jump fences. .

Then again, minecraft doesent host massive servers, the user has to run them.

I know the ability to jump fences might seem pointless to pay for, but its to help get people to sign on, without members the game would go down.

While it is true that the servers are quite costly to run, especially given just how many servers they do run, there are better ways to handle it. They could make it so that there's a level cap on non-members for all skills, thus giving them a taste of what they're missing, and make the member maps significantly larger.

Fence-jumping is just such a trivial thing to put a price tag on. It'd be like if you couldn't swim in Minecraft until you agreed to pay $10 a month.

But also what you pointed out is another one of the big differences. Minecraft doesn't need anything more than the first payment to be maintained, while Runescape requires constant payment to keep afloat. It should also be noted that if Minecraft's main server shuts down, you can still play Minecraft. If Runescape's servers shut down, you can't play it.
