For some reason i really like WoW, but i can't seem to get into it. And on top of that I enjoy runescape more than that game ( even though I don't really play runescape anymore, it's been a while ). I feel like I have a problem lmfao..Like whenever I used to play WoW, I'd always have a blast with friends, something you'd never find on runescape, but still i don't enjoy it as much? It doesn't make very much sense to me.

Sounds like you are confused, little grasshopper. Sleep on it? Or play both ?

Can always just go back to playing Runescape. I found that there was more to do.

Because wow is pretty much Quest Quest Quest spank a pinnatta, more of a diablo directioned hand held MMO. whereas runescape is quite sandboxish.

Agree with you on that one. For all the flak Runescape gets, the first time I tried it I was pretty blown away by the interactivity of the game. It sure wasn't what I was expecting.

Runescape is more open; you can do whatever you want where as in WoW at the end you have to either raid or PVP. It also may have to do with the fact that it is a skill based MMO, as opposed to WoW which is class based. Skilled base MMO's allow you more freedom to do whatever you want, and let you play the game anyway you like it.

I've never played Runescape. What else do you have to do in Runescape other than riading or PvP?

I agree with both of you. I was blown away by WoW up until about a month of being level 80. Suddenly, the game got pretty boring for me. Quest, grind for emblems, raid, raid, quest, random dungeon, quest, raid, repeat until the next expansion. RuneScape was a massive sandbox and gave me hundreds of hours of pleasure back in my middle school days.

Some people don't even do combat in the game. There's over a hundred unique quests (you'll either love them or hate them), combat is only like 9 skills out of 29 I think. If you want to do combats, you just do bosses over and over (yes, the same ones. And I'm talking like hundreds of kills of the same thing.) And then there's pvp which is kinda what it used to be, but you don't get their items. Rules are similar to what they were like 3 or 4 years ago though.

So PvE and PvP? Runescapes endgame is RP, PvE and PvP too?

Eh, everything from farming to building your own house. TONS of stuff to do, just lots of it is very tedious and gets boring after a little while of doing the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER... I mean, you aren't even involved, you just watch your character do it. They should implement a mini game that increases in difficulty for each skill.

Runescape was amazing the first time I tried it. I mean there were so many quests, items, skills, towns and locations.

Chop wood, mine, smith, fletch, cook, build your house up, farm, etc. And you can use almost all these skills to make massive money to fun easier combat leveling. You can be a mage, archer, and warrior at the same time if you take the time to level up their respective skills. It's actually quite addictive. The end game is really just maxing out your character to the point where you can destroy anyone in PVP, which used to be very hardcore when I played it (you would lose all your stuff if you died). Also, the only two mining nodes for the best ore were very deep in PVP territory so it made it extra scary to try and wander too far into the wilderness to level certain skills.

You really like WOW but you can't seem to get into it? I'm not trying to be a smartass at all but explain lol. :P That doesn't make any sense. Maybe you like WOW's "lore" and outside of game content? Not sure what you mean again.

You're5 years late on WoW my friend. It's nothing compared to it's former glory now.

For me, it would be THIS. Vanilla WOW days = THE BEST imho.

RuneScape is a very good game, it's just that the combat needs tweaking and the community is rubbish.

never played WoW.

but I do miss the old Runescape as you and other keep mentioning the old WoW.

RS's PvP is absolute crap compared to what it used to be. and they made a gigantic mess of imbalances with all of the newer weapons.

imo.

Cause despite what people who dont play it say, Runescape is a pretty good game. The only bad thing about it is the community. Sure a major factor in any mmo but its not something that makes a game unplayable.

Its simple, yet theres so much to do. Its updates a heck of alot, theres been like 100 new quests since i last properly played, Seasonal updates and items, community events, (used to have) good pvp, good bosses, so much to do.

I eventually got bored of it and started making music videos and stuff for it, you'd be amazed at how big the video making community is

Good old Runescape. As someone said, there is so much stuff to do in that game, but it just gets boring after doing it over and over again. I haven't played it in a long time, though. I would say that WoW is the better game, but Runescape offers more bang for your buck.

Ill agree to that, WoW, LOTRO, WAROnline, all beat runescape into the dust
