I think WOW just wastes your time and money. I have some friends and they only talk about Wow and their little rouges that can do __ damage and kill a(n) in __ turns. They are usually playing it and are always talking about Ironforge and all that junk. Runescape is the same but you don't have to pay $__.__ per month.
It depends. Are we talking about graphics or what? World of Warcraft has been dominating the Graphics zone for Online games for quite a while. The game does have it's fun parts like getting pets, doing the hard quests, getting easter eggs, and playing all the great races. It just costs a lot of money to play every month and the CD cost about $50. Runescape has passable graphics, it does have great quests and pets are nice. It is expanding everyday and is a new guy so you've got to give it time to master the art of gaming technology. So I expect great things from the Jagex company.
