Runescape vs. Dragonfable
The guide to help you decide which way to play.
Now this article is about something my friends have been debating for some time, which is better, runescape or dragonfable? RS or DF? Jagex or Artix? Postie Pete or Twilly? Zezima, or Zhoom?
This will all be discussed in the following.
Now, as you can see, because of the beginning of this article, that I play both games. Now, first I want to state that I am more partial to runescape, but I must be fair in my discussion. I will discuss the things one has over the other.Alright, now when playing either game for the first time, you realive the first difference, the graphics. Dragonfable has awesome artwork, including the characters, armor and weapons, while runescape has chunky, pixel-ey figures and uniform weapon and armor shapes, the only thing changing is the color. So for initial looks…Dragonfable wins, personally I never thought a games entertainment capacity was determined only by how pretty the characters look, but that’s beside the point. Jagex does have reasons for the way the game looks, mostly because of the fact that the player can move in 3 dimensions and that for 2d dragonfable looks are not hard to achieve when the player is 2 dimensional, although realistic details have not been sacrificed, and it is far from a 2nd person player, while runescape is very much a 3rd person game (none of this is a bad thing, I’m just stating how the gameplay works in either game).
Now, another thing I have noticed about Drgaonfable is that 90% of the releases have to do mainly with new monsters to fight, (the things that are not fighting are smithing and alchemy, which are still lightly related to combat) but with runescape there is hours of leisurely play to be found in non-combat activities, such as farming, fishing or construction, so whaen it comes to elaborateness, runescape wins, this is not to say that dragonfabe is boring or linear, but only that runescape has a bit more to it, mainly because it has been around for a few years longer. One obvious difference is that in dragonfable, the only other visible players are non-player-characters, or npcs while in runescape you may talk to people around the world, through private and public chat. As well as computer-generated npcs, So as far as socializing, and talking to your friends free of charge, runescape wins hands-down. Now as far as the Npcs go runescape has thousands, some pointless, others play a large part, in dragonfable, almost every npc plays a part in the entire storyline, all of them looking colorful and inticate in design. After playing both games for a while I have noticed another difference, the size. Runescape has miles of landscape differing in foliage, people and wildlife, Dragonfable, with it’s new releases has new landscapes, but they are quite similar to one another, a weapon shop, an inn of some kind, and a main npc that assigns quests and gives advice, such as zhoom in the sandsea, captain blackberry in osprey cove, and ash in falconreach so runescape wins in landscape diversity, dragonfable has a well-made environment, but runescape’s is hard to beat.
Quests is another thing I will touch down upon, quests on dragonfabe are often simple, kill all the monsters, find the boss, listen to the conversation and defeat it in order to win, and in rare occasions, just watch a cutscene, quests in dragonfable can usually be redone. Quests in runescape are often far more difficult, sometimes having to cross great distances and fight strong monsters, while any quest in dragonfable can be started by anyone (though completion is questionable and they sometimes reqire past quests to start) quests in runescape often take much more time and certain levels or higher to start or complete, as well as many objects and past quests, but the rewards often include something extra while dragonfable quest rewards include only what you obtained in the quest, and possibly a weapon or piece of armor while runescape quest can offer extra gold and experience. Combat is the main thing disputed between the two games, Which is more realistic, one thing that can be said about dragonfable is that each individual character looks more realistic, but the combat itself looks a bit silly to say the least, the player charges forward, does a jump attack, or other attack depending on the chosen attack and backs up a few feet to let the enemy attack keyword: “let the enemy attack” which makes combat slightly unrealistic. Runescape’s monsters and characters look a bit unreal, but the combat is not turn based, weapon speed is chosen by the weapon, and traveling and combat are in the same plane, where the player can fight or run without the aid of special armor.
The final thing I will touch upon is player progress, in dragonfable, a player can do everything that can be done by having all the best weapons, being lvl 40 and having all the special armors and their moves unlocked as well as the maximum lvl in all of the skills, such as alchemy, smithing, and all the skills like strength and intelligence while in runescape, there are many skills that take time, patience and diligence to get to their maximum level, so on runescape, you are never really finished in any way because you have almost limitless inventory with a bank while on dragonfable you would have to pay dragon coins to get new inventory slots, Which brings me to my last detail, the cost… now, either game can be played for free, but which one has more to be gained from forking over some extra dough? Now there are 2 ways to look at it, in dragonfable, there is only a 1-time payment to buy a dragon amulet, but if you want to get the best weapons, you need to spend an extra 5$ for some dragon coins to buy them, while in runescape, you are charged 5$ a month, or more depending on which country you live in, and your method of payment.
Now at first glance you would almost instantly choose the 20$ dragon amulet, but think of this, 75% of runescape is p2p so all that you know about runescape’s free player world is only one fourth, when dragonfable’s dragon amulet will merely allow for around 20 or 30 new weapons, which is a lot for dragonfable, but hardly anything on runescape, most serious rs players would gladly spend 5$ a month for 75% more game, even though it would cost a whole 60$ a year, but in the long run, I’d say both are worth getting, although you are the one to decide. So in the end, the pros and cons come out like this:
- Dragonfable looks while runescape looks chunky and pixel-ey
- Runescape is 3d while dragonfable is flat but detailed
- Runescape’s overall looks aren’t the best but the concept of combat is slightly more realistic
- Runescape has a lot more game in it, but dragonfable has more easily noticed progress
- Runescape takes time to get good, while dragonfable does too, but the maximum lvl and practical completion of the game (excluding further releases) is more easily acheiveable
- Runescape has a lot more world to explore and more complicated quests.
- Death in runescape could mean loss of millions, death in dragonfable could mean loss of…pride.
So, as always it is your decision, for f2p players the mysterious world that members walk in could remain a mystery to them in either games, and although I didn’t mention this in the review I think Jagex would get they’re behinds kicked by artix entertainment because what they have done to runescape recently, they might as well have jut blew the server away with a shotgun, Artix entertainment has handled its problems a lot better.
Oh, and in a fight, twilly would beat postie pete and zhoom would totally beat zezima(sorry zezima) and although I didn’t mention it, I think it was an act of stupidity on the part of my friends to say that Lvmage could beat the ghost rider…nothing beats the ghost rider… except Chuck Norris.
Liked it
RUNESCAPE SUCKS!!!! DRAGONFABLE ROCKS!!!!
okay dragonfable pretty good
Runescape awesomely better then DF =)
I hate runescape, terrible graphics!!!!!!!!
0:)
Dragonfable is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=]]]]]]]]]]]
i ma garry ilive in manila at makati city
i like dragonfable more but in my oppinion …. runescape is d best!! JAGEX is im proving their graphics!! and it rocks!!
I like doragonfable but you know that runescape better!!!
for all haters of runescape, your biggest reason for putting it down is about to be blown out of the water, this summer in 2008 there will be some serious graphial improvements made so that it will look so amazing, it’ll shut you haters up forever! personally, I dont want to say I like either more than the other, but I hate RS Flamers more than DF Flamers because they have stupid reasons, I mean really, you shouldn’t hate a game for bad grphics.
dragonfable is the best and dragonfable puts new thing every week dum stupid runescape like changes stuff every year or month and there are upgrades in dragonfable and there is no upgrade in runeugly
dragon fable is a poorly done flash,anime,artix rpg. 2d grphics, wierd animations,20$ for memship, and no communications/lack of content makes this a very bad choice. runescape may not be perfect, but cheap memship, 3d graphics, global chat, and good quests/lots of skill& content makes this a way better choice. graphics update will be even better, now time for ratings.
dragonfable: graphics-2.1/10 content(quests skills ect.) 1.2/10
community-0/10 fun-1.4/10 cooperation(company,effort,updates, memship. ect.) 0.4/10 overall 1.2/10
runescape: graphics- 6.1/10 content-8.8/10 community-7.2/10
cooperation-6.9/10 overall 7.3/10
that is my opinion.
your right jjjjj and for all your haters runescape is better but i play dragon fable a little
Dragon Dragon Dragon Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dragonfable rullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
honestly, i dont know how any of you can like dragonfable, its not really a good game, you cant really invest your time, there’s only 1 thing to do, fight, and you cant talk to ppl, its got 2d graphicsand the only reason it looks batter than runescape is cuz its 2d and not 3d making it incredibly easy to make good artwork, im not saying i hate it, but if i had to pick one game to play for the rest of eternity, theres no chance in hell id pick dragonfable, not to say id enjoy an eternity of runescape, but at least you could talk to people and have good company, and not go insane reading npc speach bubbles. dragonfaable is entertaining, but the ability to talk to, compete with, and have a lot of fun with your best friends, but on dragonfable the pvp is lame giving 0 xp and gold and is merely just another round of repetitive and useless combat plus, you can only have a set amount of items on DF, but nearly limitless on RS and all of you that say runescape is bad and dragonfable is good, i havent seen you give a single reason, Why? because there is no reason.
http://instantaction.com/#
Runescapes only thing is graphics but the game is so hard and it sucks. Dragonfable Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dragon fable is clearly better because amazing graphics new things happaning every week there’s war’s and you get to use a dragon to fight titans but in runescape you iver have to fight a dragon bye yourself or with your friends and once your lvl 70 id gets more boring and if you dont play for 3 months on runescape they delet your character and i meen realy that sucks and in dragon you can not play it for 2 years and they wont delet it and i have nothing againts runescaoe i was a lvl69 before i quit so dragon fable better by a lil.
dragonfable is better because they can fight and get postions without buying food and you can have a you can get levels up easy so in stead of waiting for ages and on dragonfable is much better thats why and dragonfable is got more better stuff i wads a level 126 befor but i got scamed and people ban you for nothing so thats why i think dragonfable is very very very good and much more better runescape.
dragonfable rrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocks thats why they can beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat runescape and thats so crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrap
runescape is the most of the most coolest games in the world
===========================—————————–))))
Dragon Fable is better because its a cartoon sort of game with good artwork, and runescape is a 3D game. (I hate 3D games) I would way rather play a game where you can see the weapons actually hit the enemy than some stab damage: 2 thrust damage: 3 kind of game you know? And if you die in Dragon Fable you lose nothing where as in runescape you can lose like that guy pointed out, you can lose EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*plus i hate fishing and the constant music in runscape.*
runescape rules i love it
Plain and simple, Runescape is way way way way way better than dragonfable in many many many many layers and degrees.
Dragonfable plain sucks, the graphic is poor, not even a 2d game, audio is none, game play is repetitive, the storyline is confusing which doesn’t have any connection with dragon, the classes are interchangable which means there aren’t really any, and without paying the fee to membership you will never get any upgrades. Dragonfable is a single player game, not even a mmorpg. The community is extremely immature and had been manipulated by the masses and repels any opinion on the forum. The GMs are bascially giving false promises to players, even the paying ones. Dragonfable might still be in development two years ago, but seriously, this game still looks like as if it was in baby mode.
Many says that Runescape graphic sucks, but (I may vomit) who plays a game based on it’s graphic? Who in hell plays a game based on it’s graphic?? It’s all about storyline and game play which are amazing in f2p and even more amazing in p2p. I was a huge fan of runescape until they took out the PVP, but still runescape is way way way better game than dragonfable in many many degree.
Don’t even argue with me, try it for yourself, I’d rather grind in Runescape then in a 2d sucky repetitive huge grind dragonfable game.
RUNESCAPE ROCKS NOW ITS WAY BETTER GRAPHICS!!!
IN DRGAON FABLE TOO MUCH LOADING ANDC ITS 2D!! BORING!!!! YOU KNOW MECH QUEST IS EVEN BETTER THEN IT AND ADVENTURE QUEST. AND YOU HAVE TO MOVE IN DRGAON FABLE AND SUMTIMES U GET STUCK UNLIKE ADVENTURE QUEST EASYER TO GO TO PLACES.RUNESCAPE U MOVE TOO BUT ITS WAY KOOL. I STARTED 3 YEARS AGO
runescapes way better than dragonfable. you can talk to ppl on rs but in df ur like the only guy in the game. rs has waaaaaaaaaaaay better graphics too and lots of skills to keep you occupied. in df you have like 6 skills and the only pvp thing is a tower that doesnt give xp or gold. sure df updates more often but the updates are kinda suckish. rs updates give like lots of new extra stuff thats way more useful. all in all runescape pwns dragonfable so there =Þ.
i love both of them but the last two weeks i played dragonfable cuz you can hack and get mony and exp so fast but in runescape its sooooooo hard to collect mony
Dragonfable for 3 reasons
1. is great graphics
2. is the hav new things like every week
3. they hav army battles
i hope people agree with me
shut up jack
I would say that they r bothe very good Dragonfable and Runescape but Dragonfable is just a little better.
I only use to like runescape now i think its boring and Dragonfable is only boring a little not even close to as boring as Runescape.Runescape is the most boring game i have ever played.In other words Runescape sucks!!!
When i say Runescape sucks!!! i meen I dont like Runescape!!!
well anymore!!!
i like runscape better it has mor options better graphics
i love dragonfable
I can’t live without runescape. it is like the best game ever. and guess what! dragonfable is the worst game ever because the graphic is bad and you can’t even talk in it
runescape is the best game ever!. it is like the best game and it even beats world of craft. love runescape. plz vote for runescape press 111 and for dragonfable press 000 means 0.0000%. i go to school and my all the friends play runescape
masood ahmadzad loves battleon. fareez loves dragonfable. adil loves runescape………………….mama minya!!!!!!!!

dragonfable is better for sevrill reasons one they come out with 1 to 6 new things a week in runescape they came out with about 5 a year. Runescape has not point or plot and the grafics still suck. And membership is monthly pay wich sucks and it has no end.
dose anyone like both games? O yes Runescape sucks
i have already talk true but i have to say the main point of runescape is to kill huge! amounts of time anyone who has that much time on there hands get a life!
Dragon fable sucks…………
Runescape is the best.i can see that jagex is improving on the graphics and there are lots of things comming every week..
so runescape is the best……
DX rulez
RS rulez……..
Hello my name is hussna and i hate rs because it makes you crazy…….
I love dragon fable because you can improve in your reading because there is so much things that you can read.
I like DF more but i also like RS the thing with the reading more like melts your brain
Dragon just pay 1 time to be a member but RS it every month and it cheap but it monthly. And runescape is very old game and no new maps. Dragonfable got lot of new mape and new updated map.
for me dragonfable ROX!!!
All of y’all our nerds play something manly like unreal tournament or call of duty.
runescape pwns
dragonfable rulz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!runescape sucks @$$ and 00 dam runescape and its suck stuff
/
i love dragonfable the weapons are awesome
dragonfable is better than runescape
dragonfable is the bestgame ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dragonfable has the greatest quest and the greatest quest rewards
runescape not very great
dragonfable (rules,rocks,is the best,awesome)
everyone says that rs sucks bece-ause of bad grafics
just look at dragonfable isn’t even in 3D
gaysacpe…..
df is way better than gayscape.
zezima is fat coz he ate all the rune plate legs
no now i like df more .
DragonFable and all the AE games suck. Now, how many 3D, quality,Browser based games can you find in the net? ONE! thats it! runescape is the most popular and intricate browser based game there is. Dragonfable, on the other hand, is made by a bunch of amatuers who thinks their jokes are Hilariouse. Three words Artix: you suk. 1/2 A
Day!
well i play df and rs and i like rs a bit more cause u get to do more when ur in members but on df all u can do is walk around and u cant do any thing but fighting
well i do play df
you bi*cH
also now that runescapes got high detail its got alright grahp
Rune/Scape rocks even though i still play df.
df is an easy hacked game any one can make hacks for it
but u cant find any working hack for runescape and who ever says the graphics are bad look at the new gaphics the hd ones
df is only in 2d and the maps are are much less
on the other hand runescape map is huge and never stops updating
in runescape u can see people and trade with thim and fight wit them or agenst them there many cool minigames in runescape
and by the way it is verey easy to hack df everey body can make a trainer because its works on flash and swf(dragon fable sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
who ever says runscape can be hacked is a lier runscape is the safets cant be hacked game in the world no and its impossible to make a hack now and i will make any one member for any game he wants if he gets me the link for a working runescape hack
I don’t think the question should be about whether dragonfable or runescape is better. Artix co. has made a new game called Adventure Quest Worlds, and you can tell by the name that it is this companies very first MMORPG. The question is now whether AQ Worlds is better, or the extremely sucky runescape game which can in fact be hacked… I know from first hand experience when I hacked an amazing account by the name of kujiloo. I’m sorry kujiloo, but you won’t be getting your account back… EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!☺
i would play something manly like anything 1st person shooter but some times i just play df when i played rs i got bored th first 5 min very boring
df rules
well actually ae gamesz better you got aq df mq and the new mmo adventurequest worlds so SUCK ON THAT BIG LOAD OF **** JAGEX
????? is completely right fps is da bomb but they get boring after playing for 2 years straight….and rs gets boring after 5 mins and you get loged off in it. but in df you can leave for like 9 hours and not lose progress by logging off
hey I truely think that df is better due to graphics armors weapons im not a hater to rs but its way to hard im a lvl 58 but its way toooooo much money for dragon armor it would take me a year to get like dragon boots or shield.It gets annoying you get hacked scammed annoyed and stalked everyone is unfriendly and to many mean people call us noobs besides df has like wars and better bosses easy to get weapons in runescape u need to be a mem to beat bosses that have like dragon plate and it monthly in df its forever forever!dragonfable people rock!!!!!!!!
i will have to say dragonfable beacuse i has way more idems r the best beacuse runescape gets stuck very fast and dragonfable u could get a dragon IIIIIIIII LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE DRAGONFABLE i play runescape and i don’t have much fun srry
Runescape is my life
i have t say df is better do to you cant hack runescape!
dont fergot dragonfable same comtype that made that also made arch knight aq aqw and mq runescape dosesnt have many updates and it is a mmorpg becouse what im hearing there going to make a verison on it so you could play with other peolpe
Hello. Runescape and Dragonfable are both great games with great teams working consistantly to
keep it alive and by saying all this stuff ”runescape is crap” ”dragon fable is for pussies” is very
hurtful on the people who worked extremely hard to make these two games. I would like to note
games design in an underpaid job that has very long hours to produce something
for the community. And for one person to turn around and just say ” that game sucks!” is just
well annoying. anyway i made a quick
texual analysis on the two games.
Runescape.
For something put into a web browser with these kind of graphics is just well outstanding.
yes it is in a web browser, its not a flipping xbox 360 game with shading 1.0
or whatever. i have to admit you do come across some big headed players who can be very obnoxous
and not care for others, but hey you just ignore them right? and by saying somthing back your just as
pathetic as they are…
anyway. I cant express my love for the skills section for this game,its just fantastic.
and yes! it is hard when they get past 50-60 because its not something to be completed in a day
it takes time because they actually need to keep it alive with players.
the combat is cool and there are so many items. The quests are just amazing with non-combat ones!
first rpg game ive seen thats done this for a long time. minigames,pvp servers,quests and even
meeting new freinds will keep you enthralled in this game for years to come.
Dragon Fable.
The artwork in this is kinda outstanding in someway and congratz to the artists on the team.
yes it does look like paint but hey you try and do this! It is fight this…fight that…go here
…fight this…and fight that, but comeon isnt that what an rpg is? you get some brilliant quest
with deep stroylines, and btw it is not for baby’s…its misspelt for a reason and hey whats
wrong with a girly game? there arent enough if you ask me. The pets are bril and yes it is a
cute dragon lol XD!!! i did stop playing dragon fable but i dont turn around and say it sucks…
right?
so anyway yes i did i have more to say about runescape, only cose of the skills though.
but hey please keep this in mind and try to respect those people who actually bother
to make something for others. peace.
Dragonfable rocks
rs is very very very SSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Worst Game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DRagonfable RRRUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
RS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOB!
runescape weapon are lame and you have to get to lv 99 on skill!
You’re all (with the rare exception) just being complete trolls and idiots.
“Dragonfable sucks/rules!”
“Runescape sucks/rules!”
…. you seriously mean to tell me that That is a mature argument?
Grow up and actually argue the pros AND cons of each game, instead of whining.
My personal opinion is that DF is better, but RS does have merits of it’s own; I just prefer DF.
Dragon fable sucks because:
-it has no skills
-more of violent than runescape
-bad graphics
Runescape rocks!!! Dragonfable has some dumbass cheats.Jagex made the best online game where there are tons of skills instead of just fighting and only being a mage a rogue or warrior.No means of communication and has junk 2d graphics.There are no emotes and somehow dragonfable charecters never seem to get tired of running.Runescape has no battle scene changes and is way more realistic and you dont need a DA for using a bank.
okay i no i am reading this forum alot later then it was posted. anyway, i play both df and rs. for those of you who haven’t played runescape since summer of ‘08, graphics have improved, added pvp worlds, added a skill called summoning(command your own creatures in battle,dragons at lv 99)added 3 minigames for f2p called clan wars, bounty hunter, and fist of guthix. i play dragonfable and runescape. in my opinion, neither is better.i’ve played rs 4 21/2 yrs. df 4 1 year. on rs never been a mem, however i did get alot of entertainment ou f2p.the problem with rs is the lengthyness of tring to lv up. all my lv above 50 and take like an hr for 1lv. it just gets plain boring after a while. just cuz its boring doesn’t mean it sucks. besides it just an opinion. however on df i recently got all 6 DA and it is soooo worth it for a 1 time payment of only $30. opens more quests, bosses, unlocks dragonlord armor, allows for use of fully grown dragon, and it allows for the use of the more difficult skills and attacks of each class. so i have no favorite as from df to rs however i currently play df more. and for all rs players my name is Zarucamza, lv 79. all games have pros and cons, every1 will have their opinions.
I have lvl 50 non DA character in dragonfable and I think that dragonfable is much better than runescpe.
df sucks big hairy balls!!!! da sucks!! runescape membership is packed with loads of special features!!
runescape is the best, way more quests, mroe of a challenge, and you don’t feel lonely when playing it because wherever you are, you are surrounded by other runescape players around the world. Runescape’s graphics are really good now. Of course you might say dragonfable’s graphics are better. That’s because things are so low detatailed. For example, the ground in dragonfable is just green, occasionallly youll see some flowers or grass while runescape way more stuff. Dragon Amulet is a rip off and there is nothing to achieve by playing dragonfable. Furthermore, no one can see your achievements in dragonfable e.g no hiscores. Runescape there’s hiscores and you can show off your stuff and levels to other people
also, lots of hacking software works for dragonfable. Not for runescape
For he ones of you who say runescape never has any new maps and dragonfable has new maps like every few weeks, Then think about this. Dragonfables maps are like so small, for example, falconreach, or osprey cove, you click the other side of the screen and thats pretty much the whole city or like 50%. And don’t even get me started with Necropolis. Btw, Ballyhoo is gay too, dragonfable is getting paid by the ads so you can watch them. THat proves how poor they are, they have to go that far to make money. Theres not many new runescape maps, but they are far more bigger, detailed, exciting, and some you have to do a quest or have requirements to go in unlike dragonfable, you can be a level 5 noob and pretty much travel anywhere
RuneScape is horrible Dragon Fable’s cool has much cooler clothing also
It’s like many people hate Runescape for some reason. Dragon Fable is nice, but it get’s boring if you just buy stuff, fight and level up. Runescape has many other skills to train. Besides, Runescape has way more players than Dragon Fable.
Alright, im gunna lay down my oppinion suckas
First of all, I personnaly like dragon fable better, but i will say at one point in my life i was addicted to runescape and it was pretty much all i did, but only for a month or two.I currently play dragonfable, I just got into it so i dont know everything about it, but i dont know much about runescape either.
First topic: graphics:
Runscape has some alright graphics for a browser based 3d mmorpg, dont get me wrong, but its just bad. Half the time you dont know what your doing, its like 32 bit, which is just past a super nes, for your information. It did get that update but i dont really notice mutch of a difference, i still only see a few colors faintly resembling a humanoid, let alone clothes. So all together, even though runescape is a browser based mmorpg, they should be able to do better than that.and for that, i give them the bare minimum.Runescape score: 6/10
Dragon fable has got beutiful artwork, some “decent” animations(I did say some!!) and all together pretty game, but, the animations are very silly as the review at the top said, with a repeated run 5-20 frame animation, and very not good battle animations. It is flash, unlike runescape, but that does not give it an excuse to be so choppy and baddly animated(see dadgame,or other games/animations on newgrounds for good examples). But putting aside that, some of the artwork for the npcs are beutifuly created, like thursday from amityvale and warlic.Many people are acusing df from being easier since it is flash, 2d and not online, but im here talking about graphic qualitys, not why they have the advantage, so im not going to get into that. So in conclusion, i personaly like dragonfable, but the animations make it very hard to give over 7 so i give it a small edge for the beutiful artwork. Dragon fable scre:6.2/10
Next topic, Audio:
Both runescape and dragon fable dont have any actuall voices in the game, as far as I know, so throwing out that, i am wondering why no one has been debating on audio? So I will start it
Runescape has music, and it is good music, that fits each area your in, sound effects that are decent, but the real table turner was there monster sounds.The first time i was playing, with headphones on top and music turned off, i fought a goblin, and when i beat it, i heard the most excrutiating screech ive ever heard.”greeeeuuuuuuuch!!!” I nearly pooped myself because of how scared i was, I had no idea it was coming! So the music is okay, decent sound effects and excrutiating monster noises…
Runescape score:8/10
Dragon fable has good, fitting music, not as many sound effects but still some, and cheesy attack sounds, like runescape only worse.I dont have asmuch to say on dragon fable for audio since there isnt much, so dragon fable score: 6.5/10(.5= epic music in amityville)
All in all there isnt much audio in either game, so its not much of an argument anyway.
Next topic: style/story
Runescape has a fantasy story style about a person who…umm..well actually, there isnt much of a story line…pretty much just quests and fighting and supply searching and exploring… I mean sure there is a faint line of quests that are connected up to the final guthix quest thing but its not a story! The style is a mixture of faint comedy and a bit of action adventure. The style is okay, the comedy will give you some good chuckles and the adventure is pretty good. All in all, no apparent story, feeble comedy and alright adventure means for me, sadly, a 4/10.
Dragonfable is a fantasy story about a hero who meets a princess with a box, and the box is stolen and the hero must find it because it has a dragon egg in it. You spend time doing quests with npcs untill you finnaly retreive the egg and box and the egg hatches and you have a dragon. there is more to the story line with drakath and drakonan and sepulcher.The style is fantasy with a whole bunch of puns( like the pactagonal knights names(sir pent, sur mise, sir render) ) you will get a few strong laughs at some of the puns that kick off straight from the beggening( i beleive the first one is after the princess and twilly leave to falcon reach, if you walk up to the path you will hit a stump and see a message over top: Now where did they go? I am “stumped”.
I like dragon fables story and style better, so with a clear story line, funny parts, great puns and a fantasy story that is pretty well put together, Dragonfables score:9/10
Gameplay:
This is where it all comes together, the most important part: GAAMEPLAAY
Runescape gameplay is a 3d, click to move, online game where there is no loading screen taking you to a new area, so in other words, a continuess country style area. The game is based around a few things.There is quests, battling, adventure/exploring, stats and social.
Quests: an imence array of quests ranging from dungeon crawling, to battles, to searching for supplys to bake a dang tasty cake son. There is alot of variety in quests so it never really feels like your repeating anything. But the downside is that some quests require travel to other sides of not towns, but the country itself, which will make you so bored just walking down a path that you may eat your cat and or strangle a pigeon with a tortilla chip.
Battling: it gets repetitive after a while with a system of click, click, click, search corpse, repeat. There are some things to chang it around but all in all its just mindless clicking. No strategy at all!
Adventure/exploring: There is a big world to walk around in, with many discoverys of towns, shops, monsters, pumpkin patches, butter factories, teddy bears eating children and much more. But if your impatient you will not like it because it does take a solid half hour to get to some areas from the main towns.
Stats/skills: Good, good good very good thing with stats. Stats affect your attack power/ your speed, your luck, you magic, your fishing and many others its a good way to keep players captivated with the game, even after finishing most quests.skills are basicly proffesions like in WoW but with way more than 2. you can fish, cook, heal, build, brew, and much much more.
SOCIAL: here is a turning point, because rs has real time talkin with other obsessed maniacs and insanoes around the world playing this game. You can talk together, battle together, quests together, trade items together, and sleep togther( you nasty perverts). The social part of the game is alright but you wont get too much attention untill your a high enough level.
So, with good quests, bad battles, good stats, alright exploring and social qualitys to top it off, i give runescape score a 9/10 for gameplay
Dragonfable is a 2d, small part of area by area, where you click to move, and once you get to the end of the screen, you progress to the next area. Im gunna break it down into its main part, Battling..umm..one sec…itl come to me…uhh..*mumblemumble* uh…d-dragons?…Okay so its mostly battling but too bad for you df haters its got better battling that runescape
Battling!: The battling is ofcourse, like the rest of the game, badly animated, but dont let that bother you! just think of the strategy of all the skills that you learn where you can chose from attack, poison, rapid attack, smoke, distract and other things(that was from a rouge) Sure it gets repetitive but its a good concept and if they worked on it it would be amazing!
so i give battling a 8/10 from dragon fable score
AND NOW, THE MOMENT YOU ALL BE-wait..not yet…
i still have to talk about other stuff!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!::! ._.
so…
Runescape is an alright game, but i hate it! the endless talking from the npcs and the failure to make people laugh really dont help it any … also i find the game is much too challenging and there isnt many people willing to help a lvl 3 noob
Dragonfable!!!!:
17 words: If you cant punt a moglin, its not a complete game !
D
Also it is an all around more enjoyable game, where levels come easy and you dont need to be a friggen level 89 467 327 237 237 to beat a quest! all you need is the two artix’s glitch
so anyway, AND NOW, THE MOMENT YOUVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, THE END OF THIS INCREDIBLY LONG REVIEW I JUST WROTE THAT MAY VERY WELL BE LONGER THAN THE REVIEW ITSELF UP AT THE TOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!11111ONEONEONEONEONE
Runescapes final score: 36/40… I think, im not really good at math
