I prefer wow, but i have tried RS a few times.
I always become bored of it in about 2 days for some reason.

Thank you for contributing a reason, yes, I agree with you, it's rather cheap that Blizzard makes you pay to play, but in a worse way, so does Runescape, of course you don't have to pay, but you lose significant advantages.

No offence to WOW and RS players but both games suck... If you want to play a GOOD RPG, get guild wars. If I had to pick, I would also say RS. I don't play it anymore but it's better than WOW...

I played both games, and I like WoW the most. I still play it, but I don't play it 24/7. But I have the feeling some people do... (but not as much as people think)

You've a retarded argument.
Yes, I am insulting you.
It's a common argument.
Used by unreasonable people.
Used by people who didn't research it, at all.
Way too dramatic.

All games are temporary:
Age of Empires II (not a lot of people play it hours a day anymore).
Call of Duty 4 (Frag Movies on YouTube, same with MW2).
Modern Warfare 2 (same thing).
Asteroids.
PacMan (I think).

People still play CoD4, but there are plenty of people who play this much more than even people on WoW.
And, also, the argument you use is also used by more than a few MW2 players, they could be playing on it for say 3 hours in the morning, wearing nothing but underwear with long (emo-looking, no offense) hair and sweaty armpits, and flame someone whom stops playing MW2 because he needs to check his mail (or auctions), or even their crops on FarmVille (though I HAVE TO SAY, it is fairly sad, there's nothing special about FarmVille really, lol...), muppets >.>


Hey I know a really good RPG. It's called real life. I play it every day.

Yo dawg! It's actually a RLBRPG (Real-Life-Based-Role-Playing-Game).
Oh, um, woops sorry.
Yo dawg! We heard you like RPG's so we put a MMORPG in yo RLBRPG so you can RPG while you RPG!
Owned. :P

Nine dollars an hour and you can afford college? Damn, that must be one hell of a scholarship. Or community college. Whichever.
I used to play Runescape, I've watched people play WOW. Obviously, WOW has better graphics but I think that RS is more fun, since you don't have to work before you have fun on RS.
And RS costs money to be a member, which means it costs money. They're just trickier about it than on WOW.

Indeed, it usually costs 5 grand (in Pounds, which I think the approximate ratio of Pounds to Dollars is 2:1, so 10 grand in dollars) to enter a college, and you seem to have a lot of stuff going on, College, Son / Daughter, WoW.
Which game are you hardco-- oh wait, the first 2 aren't games >.<

Nevermind.

Actually, 1 pound is more like 1.5 dollars. So something like $7,500.
Let's say he works the average American work week(8 hours a day, 5 days a week), so that's 40 hours a week, times 9 bucks an hour. That's $360 a week. 52 weeks per year, that's $18,720. He lives in Kentucky. The average cost of living in KY is about $27,500 annually. So let's say he doesn't pay the bills, he lives somewhere where he doesn't pay the electric/gas/water/etc bills, like his parents' place or something(just an example). So he'd still have his 18,000 annually. Let's round up the cost of the college, to $8,000/year. Average cost of having a newborn, maybe 12,000/year with daycare. So, he'd have to pay maybe 20k a year. That's a $2,000 discrepancy, not even counting the cost of living. So...yeah, definitely some kind of scholarship.
And yeah...I'm just bored.
