Title: Runescape or W.OW.
Post by: smitty10492 on May 21, 2008, 05:35:28 PM
Hello

What do you think is better Runescape or W.O.W?

Just wondering? Thanks.

...You're kidding, right?  Do you not realize how immensely different these two games are?

I'm not a WoW fan, but I can safely say that RuneScape is far inferior to...well, just about everything.

From what I've heard of Runescape, I agree.

I've been playing WoW since its release.

I used to play Runescape about 3 years ago. Tried to play WoW but never liked it.

If you don't want to download it or have trouble doing so and know someone who has the install CDs/DVD, I have a 10-day pass code you can use as well. (Basically the same deal).

OK. I'll probably download it today. Another Question how much does it cost for W.O.W

Post by: Computer Hope Admin on May 23, 2008, 08:54:59 PM
I'm assuming you're in the US.. If so it's $14.99 (15) a month.

If you use a credit card and purchase multiple months at a time in a subscription, it gets a bit cheaper.

You can also pay with 60-day game cards (available at any game shop) and now Paypal.

runescape all the way, even if i cant play it in HD.
and also their membership(free-to-play is free, but members are pay-to-play)
is at a good price US($5.95) a month, WoW is just to much(not as far as prices)

WoW is probably better, though I don't like it much. I play runescape now and then but it lags a lot anymore. And I think I'm still only paying 5 a month(old members still get the old price). Not like the dollar is a big difference.

My friend always tries to talk about WoW to me but I don't understand what hes saying lol.

"Check out my Dark Healer Elf Warrior Marge's Sword" and stuff like that. I just don't understand it. Runescape is pretty simple in my opinion.

Runescape is just getting better and better and I've played it for like... maybe 5 years. But I'm not playing that much now though, still, I'm enjoying to raise my skills.

WoW, I've only tried the trial and I enjoyed it too. It took awhile to get used to it  but I think it's better than runescape.
There are much more quests to do and are more challenging. :)

RS and WoW have there advantages, WoW seems to be more custom when it comes to your character, but RS is still good(much eaiser to understand)

I haven't read through this topic, so what I am about to say may be repeated.

Runescape can be related to real life. WoW....not so much....

Yeah it has the best of both worlds, 3D graphics and its free to play.
I pick Runescape only because its free to play.

Here is a list of free MMORPGS, some are 3D others are 2D, some examples are Archlord and Guildwars are listed.

You don't need money to play WoW!!

I run on a modified realmlist that connects to a private server called Middle Earth and you just go to their page,  login and play.

however it is still in the Burning Crusade era at patch 2.4.3, but you can find others, like toxic WoW at 3.0.3

Just do some hunting around, the hardest part is getting the game, its so big :(

I just got the DVD's from a friend...and you can always get the base client and patch your way up.

or the one were Stewie threatens Louis with the Tom Hanks refrence "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know wat you'll get, THIS TIME LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF ACTIVE GRENADES!"

 ;D  ;D
Title: Re: Runescape or W.OW.
Post by: BC_Programmer on December 31, 2008, 07:45:23 AM
that was the first episode. "Death has a shadow". the actual line was:


stewie: you know mother, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. You're life, however, is more like a box of active grenades!

Now, I offer you one last chance for deliverance. Return my mind control device... or be destroyed!

Lois: oh, you just want your toy back... ok, here you go honey.

Stewie: Yes... well... Victory is mine!

Runs off...

explosion...

Stewie: Ahhhh.. *censored* you all!

Sorry I'll explain.

WoW is like any game, and has patches that fix bugs, add items, quests etc.

and some servers require you to have a certain version of WoW to play on their servers.

So I use version 2.4.3, but some people prefer newer patches and so opt to play on servers that use 3.0.3.

Sorry if it is still confusing  ::)
