I don't Game much on the PC anymore Runescape is the perfect mmo for me cause i don't need to gain a skill to be able to become decent at it.
WoW is not a hardcore game.
I have no idea how anyone got that impression. Runescape is not more casual.

Like hell getting around RS takes ages! I could get from literally any point in RS to almost any other within minutes! Fairy Ring teleport system, modern magic teleports, Ectofunctus (especially when combined with Fairy Rings), Games Necklace, House Teleport (to Taverly) Glory Amulet, Abyss, flying carpets around the desert, Ring of Duelling, tele-tabs, Moving-Over-Distance spheres, infinite run energy from the spa in Oo'glog, Elf Teleport Crystal, Spirit Trees, and that's all the methods of non-walking transportation I can think of at the moment.
EDIT: Oo I forgot Gnome Gliders!

I haven't played WOW, but Runescape was incredibly boring after 30 minutes. the graphics are still terrible, and every city is filled with noobs going "Give gold plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
In WoW I never encountered a guy as a girl avatar following me around going,"Doo uz wnt grlfrnd?" Runescape it happens every five seconds.
Well, people who don't want to pay for Runescape get walking and running for 10 seconds.Kyoufuu said:
I liked RS few years back. Pking was fun with a couple of friends or a clan of 100+ people, but Jagex removing it killed the game completely for me.
They also have a tiny world that takes a very short time to traverse, not to mention a higher teleport-destination to world area ratio than the people who pay for it do.flip7406 said:
EDIT: You want to get rid of the whiny little children begging for gold and gfs/bfs etc, get the hell out of the areas whiny little children populate ie, become a member, where the no-jobs-therefore-no-subscription kiddies can't get to you. It's just $5 for a month! Plus, as well as no whiny little children, you get about 10x the content.
EDIT EDIT: Lukey and others, they have entire WORLDS for PKing, as well as they brought back the old wildy just this week!
Yeah the community is one of the biggest problems of RS. It's a whole lot better on members though (eventhough there are still lots and lots of retards on that).psypherus said:
Runescape is in no way WOW, play it and you'll know. Runescape is a bit more unique in things.. (So instead of kill 100 boars for a quest you need to, say, get a ball from a witch's garden)stinkychops said:
I actually prefer Runescape to WoW as well, eventhough I play neither (but have played both). Runescape comes across as a lot less mainstream and a lot more unique, eventhough it's less party based and aimed at a younger audience. The latter actually ruined the game for me because that is the reason there are so many stupid people looking for free gifts and 'wll u b mah gf???!???'. If it wasn't for the young audience aim and the tedious movement I'd still play it.
Let's all have high hopes for mechquest
How is it possible to like RS more than WoW?
your arguement that the quests have no stories behind them doesnt hold any water either, havent u ever seen the wall of texts in wow which i am always desperately pressing skip on? sure, if ur into that kind of stuff fine, but i skip it, but still, the quests have storylines behind them (not that i know anyone who cares even lol)
RS graphics = incredibly bad. game looks incredibly stupid
and you dont need time in WoW, Blizzard gives you 2x XP if you are logged out a lot (or even a tiny bit, just you dont get as much as someone who barely plays)
Runescape's leveling system is so boring, most people dont even challenge themselves, because you dont have to, its all on a hp basis, you kill an enemy with 1 hp, no matter how low level it is, you get the equivalent of 1 hp of xp, but those level 20 something sheep with 100 hp come to mind..... (100 hp is 400 xp, and a level 20 something can get raped pretty quickly by someone who actually needs to spend ages clicking "attack" and awaiting the conclusion in runescape.
The levels of depth are also in question in Runescape, i put this to you, can you get mounts in RS? do you get to spend time upgrading your gear? (RS has very few dif types of armor you can wear, you just pick one, which is usually quite cheap, unless its that dragon crap) do you have PvP in more places than just some pointless wilderness in which like 3 people may be in at any time who are actually interesting in fighting you.
finally: who says u have to be skilled to play WoW? that arguement is incredibly stupid, the combat is almost as simple as RS at low levels, except occasionally you press a button to use a bloody pointless ability that barely speeds the fight up (raptor strike anyone? 'course i never leveled a hunter up that far)
