gee, I wouldn't really play RS or WoW for their "story", when there are MMOs out there that are more story driven, like Guild Wars, or Final Fantasy 11(who's youtube videos for cutscenes and wiki mission walkthroughs actually have **SPOILER WARNING** tags on them.
xD, I suppose i'm kind of complaining without taking sides. @_@ Or taking sides against both, maybe...

I find it amusing that people who claim not to care are actually bothering to comment on it anyway, but aside from that you have to give Jagex credit, to pull off that kind of graphic overhaul on a game which runs on a java engine and in a browser.
Yes the graphics arent as great as WoW but then WoW graphics are stored on a Hard Drive and so they can be as detailed as developers like, to do that on a browsers would require a killer internet connection.

They definitely made it too 'safe'. With all the warnings PKing, then removing it, removing staking, removing profitable trading etc.Username___ said:

Why can't you all just accept that some people like RS and some people like WoW and drop the whole fucking subject!? I like RS, but I'm not going to ejaculate my list of whys into the vast eyeball of the internet and then expect people to line up and lick it all off... cause that would be wierd. Now learn from these guys

and go play outside.

The storyline of the quests arent why runescapes quests are good. They are good because you have to go find items and NPCs that you have never used before, unlike wow. And you also goto a new area of the World Map and unlock new places. In Wow you stay in an area where the land is so repetitive everywhere.
The money thing- im pointing out how much cheaper it is to play a better game and to not waste your money on the addiction. I think in hindsight wow just sucked a big fat load of my money which really caused more stress than released any (which is what some games are supposed to be able todo)
The meeting people thing- I said it depresses me having to talk to them everyday not making friends with them because I dont think its possible for me to maintain a relationship with someone I will never meet in person. Wow is a much fuller on game, no matter where you turn, there are people everywhere in wow which obviously is why it is a MMO but it is easier to avoid the more annoying ones in Runescape than wow- all you have todo is run away
.Community in MMO in general- Of course a good MMO involves other people, but wow is a much more addictive game because it nearly gives people too much of it and you become part of something serious.
Anyway thank you for arguing with me, and have a nice evening.
You forgot the price tag. Runescape costs less than half that of WoW; and that's if you're a member.
I never really liked runescape after level 40, due to the fact you had to bloody pay to get anything good out of it. But, everyones got there own opinion. Hell, i play age of conan and i like it.. *hides under cardboard box, fearing the wrath of countless others*
Graphics mean nothing, I would rather play pacman for an hour than the totorial of Runescape (which I did.) The Combat is so pointless and takes no skill. It seems like spells are pointless. You may have to pay for WOW but you would need pay me to play Runescape.
doo uz want gi- NO.Straitjacketeering said:
This was one of the problems. WoW may have a lot of imbeciles, but WoW idiots will never compare to Runescape idiots.
Not to mention that Runescape censored everything. Couldn't even say "Stupid".
But hey, OP, if you like Runescape, great.
Now, for the rest of the world...
tbh, I don't have much time for MMORPGs, but Runescape was my first and the only one I kept playing! I always got hooked on it and it was so satisfying. I agree, I think that the different quests always kept it fresh, and I remember that I'd literally sit on my computer for about 5 hours just mining and smithing until I could mine Mith.
But one thing I hated was all the idiots on there. I think I was about 13 or 14 when I started playing and I don't actually ever remember being so damn annoying. I think if it was fee playing, you'd lose all the idiots, and it'd be cool to play again, in a more calm environment.

1. I am not "addicted" as you say to runescape. In fact I haven't played for about three months now. The only thing I said is that I like it. In the same way you like trying to make nonsensical arguments with people who don't give a shit. You're not addicted. Your just stupid. If I was addicted I would be making a fucking two paragraph essay on why the puppies and kittens are better in RS than the horses in WoW. I'd also be replacing !'s with 1's. A LOT.Svenparty said:
2. By "drop the subject" I meant DON'T MAKE BLOODY FUCKING THREADS BITCHING ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU CAN NEVER, EVER RESOLVE. The only time it's okay is when you post like Infernai did and say "I like/dislike [Insert generic game title] because [Insert generic reasoning]". There. One bloody line. AND THEN YOU LEAVE! And even then it's still as pointless and tedious as trying to get a nun to put out. You'll never get any satisfaction. No one is going to thank you or agree or say "OI, you're right. I am being a dumbass and [Insert generic game title] really IS better than [Insert other generic game title]".
3. If you don't play either game then WHY IN CHRIST'S NAME ARE YOU HERE!? BLOODY BLEEDING HELL!!!!!11111one
My opinion is that RS is better and more interesting than WoW. Yes, it's graphics are piss-poor even after the updates but it offers a very unique and inexpensive (or free) way to waste your life. And that's what we were all put on this earth for anyway. That's my opinion. You other tossers can say whatever you want. And to everyone here who isn't being a douchebag, and there are a few here, I apologize for this liitle tyraid of dickery.
