i like them both i like WoW because when you die u don't lose ur stuff. But i like Runescape because of all the benefits in it if u are a member....(but it sucks when u stop being a member but u still play because ur bank is filled with all this crap!)
Well in my true opinion, WoW is a way better in nearly every way. However, as many people say it's downfall is that you have to pay for it, which many people, like me, aren't willing to do because we're cheap and poor lol. My only problems with Runescape, are the obvious. While the graphics have gotten a little better, and the gameplay smoother than when I first played, it still doesn't hold a great amount of interest after playing for so long. It just gets boring, especially if your a free member, which is probably what you are if you're not playing WoW, because you don't want to PAY! That's the only real difference for many people, while mine it's more of the fact that I've started and stopped playing Runescape three times, each time I quit because I got so dang bored, all quests complete(each time), most skills over 40-50, there was just nothing to do. Therefore, in my opinion, Runescape really only appeals to people for a while unless you're a member, and as IRuleya said, when it runs out, you have literally NOTHING, and if you die, you pretty much have, NOTHING, lol. That's my opinion =)
WoW is better than RS but it costs a lot of money more than RS
5 Reasons why wow is better:
1 Because it has more skills than Runescape (like magics etc..) 2 Because it has A LOT OF BETTER GRAPHICS 3 Because RS IS A NOOBY JAVA GAME! 4 Because WoW has better sounds 5 Because WoW's world is much bigger!
