Introduction to Runescape©
Runescape Was a very fun game when it came out. Hundreds of thousands of players playing all at one time to create a great and fun gaming experience. Over the years Jagex (the makers of Runescape©) added more and more to the game each day. They still add more content to the game including quests, weapons, armor, mini-games and other events to the game each day. It is a really good game for begging players who have never played a online game before, or advanced players who have been playing online games for a really long time. It is extremely enjoyable and you can play for hours on end.

Well both of them are good games they both things the other doesnt. Besides runescape is going down so they are making mech scape hope to see a mech scape vs world of warcraft.
As a veteran of Runescape and current WoW player, here’s what I have to say. First off, Runescape is better – if your PC can’t handle a lot of stress, and if you don’t want to pay 15 dollars a month. WoW on the other hand, is worth the 15 dollars. You have amazing customer support, Runescape’s is trash, Graphics are better, fighting is better, PvP is better, better level up system, raids, ect.
The good part about WoW though is the social interaction of it. The people of RS are kids who are just annoying as hell, while WoW does have it’s share, most are mature. Also guilds are easier to organize then clans are.
i think runescape is better cz is much more simple than wow and it has 15 million members so it has more than wow
I love how all of RS’s cons are gameplay related, and almost all of WoW’s are system related. I’m running a fricken 2003 Emachines with nothing but a Radeon 9250 as an upgrade, WoW runs fine on mine. Seriously, if you’re crying about 15 bucks, 50 cents a day, you shouldn’t be playing games in the first place. WoW dominates RS so hard it isn’t even funny.
I am a current member of RS and I think that runescape can beat the S**T out of WoW any day
I agree with Justin, anyone else?
runescape is gay.Go get a life you reatards.seriously,if you gets vids of both of them and compare its not hard to see that wow is WAY better.And runescape has a bunch of annoying little babies on it spamming.wow is so much better that you could hardly compare them.Some of you kids are complaining about wow\’s price.(50 cents per day)That\’s really pathetic if you cant afford that. YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS. I\’M TALKING ABOUT YOU TONY, JUSTIN, CHRISS, AND FATGUY533. GET A LIFE!
And BTW i cant even believe you guys are even debating this. Runescape should channge its name to suckscape.Chriss you are the biggest retard of them all. runescape only has 8.5 million members so wow has more.And if runescape is better then howcome wow has 62.2% of the MMOG market and runescape only has 7.5%. Get your facts straight before you say gay stuff like “runescape can beat the s**t out of wow any day”. WHAT A RETARD YOU ARE.
and for all you wow homeboys that cant do your math (which is most of you) that is 12 million players that beats wow
