the title says it all practically...

Which is one is better? o_O

I prefer Maplestory, even though Rs has some cool lookin graphics... (I have two accounts on RS so i would know)

RS is just too slow-paced, with impossibly high goals and lots of grinding. Enough to keep a million odd people brainwashed, but not me.

Meh Runescape owns Maplestory in the long run by far.

Epic Win

I still say Maplestory wins =P (even though my best friend thinks Maplestory is for 5 yr olds ^_^)

I'm lvl 89 in RS before I quit cause it got too boring for me ^_^ and its sucks when you first start playin as a free player, thats probably why he said it "sucked" (I have to agree with you, 1smallmalf) Btw, you can do anything in Maplestory for free, unlike RS where you have to pay $5 a month to have full access...... And Maplestory is run by Nexon....

nice debate, most people don't say Runescape because they don't know that they updated there graphics A LOT! also they update every week while MapleStory is only every month or so.

Yes, I have played both, I have a level 70 Runescape account and a level 45 cleric MapleStory account.

Runescape I say is better, I quit MapleStory because its all grind in higher levels. While Runescape if you get bored with one skill you can go to another. Also it is 3D and since the release of HD it has VERY good graphics. RuneScape is considered the biggest, best graphiced browser game of all time. Now while Runscape has made some pretty crappy stuff (3k rule, no Wilderness PK) there are ways to get around them.

Now that I've jacked on MapleStory I'll make it fair.
MapleStory has more to explore then Runescape, and it's all free unless you choose to buy Nexon Points which you don't need, while RuneScape the third the land until you become a member.

My conclusion,

Runescape

Game play~8/10 lots of skills means lots of gameplay
Graphics~7/10 the HD graphics are alot better
Community~5/10 You never know with the RuneScape community.
Story~6/10 there is not much of a story, but they do have a base of one that you can read.
Presentation~8/10 They have now a very good presentation to the game and very helpful to newcomers

Overall~8/10
Average~6.8/10
Decision~Runescape is easy to learn, nice graphics, and lots to do so I say it is better.

MapleStory
Game play~7/10 It has alot to do without paying, but can be a big grind.
Graphics~7/10 It's a 2D game, so not much to expect, but it does do some nice scenery.
Community~6/10 the community is a little nicer than RuneScape, but some can be very mean.
Story~5/10 I never really found a base story on which the game is set on.
Presentation~4/10 I really do not like the presentation in this game, they just drop you off and tell you the controls, and say what stats to upgrade kind of.

Overall~6/10
Average~4.8/10
Desision~Maplestory has its advantages, but its not my kind of game.

FINAL WORD
To end this I will say,
MapleStory is worse than Runescape, while it may have its advantages the 2D graphics, the presentation and the story keep this game down. I suggest trying both, but try Runescape first.

i agree with everything except i think gameplay should be higher on maple because it's so huge and it has pq's and stuff like that

Maplestory, because runescape blocks too many things to the free players while maplestory is 100% F2P, and even if you buy Nx, it doesnt give you a huge advantage like in RS

WTF? SERIOUSLY? Yeah right -_- Btw, if it is a RPG game, my opinion... its barely a RPG game.. You dont really have somethin to do specifically...
