world of warcraft or runescape

[Rostum]

outragous? what are you going on about, haveing just played both FFXI and WoW I can say that in the EU the price of the monthly subscription is EXACTLY the same £8.99 pcm, aditionally World of Warcraft is downloadable and you can get a free trial. And with the fact that Blizzard do maintenance their game every week there are less problems.

With so many subscribers WoW has, they should lower their price per month. Honestly, they make a fortune off the 8 million or so players they have on their servers. How does having a free downloadable trial make any difference? FFXI is the same, though not having as many subscribers, it is an old game and you are starting to get some decent MMO's that cost far less and are kept maintained very well.

I can honestly say that for paying $15US a month, WoW isn't maintained that well and you don't get much innovative content being added.

You should see the next patch in Nov...

[leader of mortals]

well, Ive nevver played Wow, but the Pros and Cons of Runescape are...

Pros: ITS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Its fun for the first hour or two, Its... sort of good after the first hour or two.

Cons: When you are bored of it, You will never play it again(although I still average about 15 minutes a month)... and you get bored quick.

I also have a con for Wow: People will make fun of you

With your great punctuation, grammar and spelling, you'd fit into both. So don't worry.



Of course, any MMORPG is better than Runescape, especially World of Warcraft. But I have yet to see an innovative one come out or that is coming out.

Dito!

The problem with all MMOs is that they are just so bloody generic, except for GW (first pseudo-MMO which places thinking above grinding), which isn't really an MMORPG though. End of story.

[Markus. D]

Well, for those lacking factions it's an MORPG and not an MMORPG :3

[Dr. Acula]

Yuck. Runescape is a waste of time, IMO. No offence to those Runescape fans. Last time I played it was ages ago when I only played for 2 minutes before thinking, "That's it, I'm bored, I'm gonna play WoW now".
So yeah, WoW is waaay better.

After playing Runescape for about 2 and a half years, and reaching level 117, I can say that essentially it is a bad game. Once you get to the level 80+ region it starts to be ok because most people who are that level aren't little turds and are fun to play with. But I just couldn't handle it anymore and at the beginning of this year, I gave it up. Possibly the best decision I've made. It just sucks too much time out of your life. And it isn't even a good game.

Being a CSS player I know that whenever someone comes into a game saying "anyone play WoW?" they instantly get called fag and the like. WoW has never pulled me in that much so I can't say how good or bad it is.

Took you a while to reach that decision :chef:

[Mr Cactuar]

I was young and inexperienced. But now I am as wise as the wise old man on the mountain *cackles*.

[Mirage]

If you want a free MMO, RO is far better than RS :D.

[Discord]

I'd personally recommend Anarchy Online as a free MMO. It's totally unbalanced when it comes to skills, classes and so forth, but hell it's huge. And *cackle* it looks better than Runescape.

No. Be respectful to others. ~Ko


World of Warcraft gets new content on a consistent basis. Every few months there is a new patch that adds several new things to do, and every other week or so there is a smaller patch that changes, modifies, or adds something newer to the gameplay. I suggest you either be quiet about what you do not really know or actually start playing the game so you can make at least a somewhat knowledgeable claim to the truth.

As far as the $15 per month is concerned, it is not a big deal. You are paying the $15 for several things, the leaset of which is consistent gameplay.

WoW is far superior then any MMORPG out there today.

You must be either retarded or dumb. Maybe both? World of Warcraft gets new content on a consistent basis.

You can't call people retarded or dumb because they disagree with you.
He has a perfectly good point and insulting him like that just makes you look like even more of an ***hole.

[Bunny]

I'm not insulting him because he is disagreeing with me. I am not insulting him. I am saying that the idea that WoW is not maintained and that new material is not added on a frequent basis is dumb and retarded, and therefore by extension he must be for believing so.

As I said, WoW is maintained with a weekly maintenance day and small patches every other week and a large patch every few months. There are plenty of things added during these patches that make the $15 fee very viable.

I've only stopped playing WoW for about half a year, roughly (for those who play it) just before they released some SKy-Island type area with more 5 man content. Prior to this, content is sparse, depending on what content is defined as. By content I mean 5 man content or raiding content. If by content you mean 'anything' then maybe you'd have an argument, but still not much of one. 'Casual epics', or as I called them 'EZmode epics' were not very good.

The game suffers from 'Raiders get the best gear' syndrome because it is impossible (I have poasted on their boards trying to get this idea through people's heads) to have two simultaneous routes and have both routes equally as difficult. I'm of the opinion if the 5 man route is easier, raiders would not raid properly (they would blast through content as they can get geared up and overpower the raiding) or they wouldn't raid at all.
