Alas I used to play Runescape...

Then I got GW and never turned back

ghostlyranger · Jan 01, 2006, 01:26 PM // 13:26

runescape made me laugh, the game had no design at all in term of gameplay and art. dofus, a flash base mmorpg is much better than it.

now guildwars,

u dun need to waste ur time leveling so hard to become high level,
there is no farm spot camping by arrogant ppl,
u can actually questing to level, not by repetitive killing the monster,
and i think guildwars have the best pvp when compare with any mmorpg out there.

dark humar · Jan 01, 2006, 02:05 PM // 14:05

Lol what do you people know about runescape ? just because you don't like it the game sucks ? that is just nonsens .

I played runescape for 4 years , and I liked it a lot i played nearly everyday and used to be number 5 prayer number 5 miner and number 10 ranger

Skill total 1670 75 mil overall xp

I quitted it because i got bored after 4 years playing that game for 6-16 hours a day .
I also played WOW but dam man if you want to say a game sucks than say it about WOW a totally rip of 15 euros a month and updates ? once in the 1-2 months and not even big updates and then asking 15 euros a month ?
And when there is finally a big update coming up yes guess what you need to buy it ? why need to buy I played 15 euros a month for it .

Look at guild wars it is totally free only need to buy the game and what do you get for it lots and lots of fun so if I where you , I should run to the nearest game shop and buy this amazing game .

And why choose between 2 games ? you can always play them both
I sometimes play runescape again not long and not much but still .

I play 6 games atm 4 online

Quake 4
The Movies
Guild Wars
Project Entropia

I got lots of time but still you can also play both games and guild wars vs runescape ?
Just 2 totally divergent games and both very very good

guild wars all the way rune scape is for people with really bad slow computers with dial up

Kinroan · Jan 03, 2006, 02:33 AM // 02:33

i used to have a terrible computer -4, but since i got a new computer & GW, I havent played RS at all...I got on other day to check out the Christmas stuff and was amazed that i used to play that

Holy Arch · Jan 03, 2006, 03:49 AM // 03:49

i was an avid rs player until one of my rs friends told me about gw.

It is overall worth it. I mean of course you will still check rs site to see if pohs and carpentry are out, but you will like gw a lot more. So much more options and abilities.

PRO:
No more rs dreams

Better gameplay
no more gay dance emotes (minus ele and mes (male))
Cooler weapons
No monthly fees for a whip(aka sausages on a string)
better looking armour
dont have to play years and give up your live to be good (zezima)
many more...

CONS
No more rs dreams of partyhats
no more pretty rune armour
no more firemaking skills

i say you do it, i made the switch and i was happy

addone · Jan 05, 2006, 05:26 PM // 17:26

I have a mac so I havn't played GW yet, but I have an account on runescape and I actually I think it's quite good. It's a shame that I'm crap at gaining XP on any RPG, I played runescape for about 3 months and I'm only a level 4...lol

Josh · Jan 05, 2006, 05:56 PM // 17:56

I used to be a mad player on RuneScape, was combat level 112, name was 'Liquid Morph'. All I did was PK and got rich on it. Got around 16 Abyssal Whip PKs.

But Guild War is a LOT better. Quit RS for GW.

Lord Iowerth · Jan 05, 2006, 07:59 PM // 19:59

Hi, my name is Jon and i'm a recovering Runescape addict ...

"Hi, Jon!"

I'd just like to thank Guild Wars for showing me the error of my ways, and for helping me during my time of need. I can now venture out of the house, and I am no longer afraid of the bright, bright sunlight outside. Thank you, Guild wars.

Red Sonya · Jan 06, 2006, 12:24 AM // 00:24

NO MONTHLY FEE! Hands down GW's beats every mmorpg because of this feature alone.

heavenscloud2 · Jan 06, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

I played RS a long time ago quit about a year ago (i've started in the old RS1 days) quit couple of times in between. im lvl 95 with 3 mil left (had a white phat way back when, dam i logged couple of month ago and dam the inflation is so ----ing bad. phats are worth like 60 mil last time i checked) IGN allbot. you'll probably never see me on becuase i've left it behind and so should u.

RS is so bad now with SO many ppl playing, there are so many scammers in that game it isnt funny, and god the high lvl ppl cant stop saying noob! and the game is so slow, when i play it i need to open up another explorer cause its so boring. and aftering playing for a long time it get sooooo boring. Its like a chore playing it.

get guild wars, nicer ppl, awesome graphic, easy combat system (dont get me started on RS combat, if u guys know RS1 combat its even worse!!!) so ditch RS i mean playing guild wars is even cheaper with no monthly fee, how can u resist!!!

thenewa2x · Jan 06, 2006, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Well I guess I never finished

I bought GW a week ago and I already have Icy and Fire Dragon Sword, Eternal Shield, Platemail (15k) Armor, and a whole lot of skills (in my opinion).

It was damn well worth the switch.

EDIT: My avatar shows some of it. And the armor color is all black.

Red Sonya · Jan 06, 2006, 09:30 AM // 09:30

Yeah right, you got all that in a "week"?? hahah tell us another one! lol

thenewa2x · Jan 06, 2006, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Don't believe me, meet me in game.

Pyrrhus · Jan 06, 2006, 08:08 PM // 20:08

I used to be a member on Runescape. the constant mine then smith that.. cut the tree to raise a stupid skill to make you make arrows... it jsut got boring... i ended up only using my membership (until it ran out) talking on the forums..
RS has way too many faults. It was constantly imbalanced and was just ugly.

Cronos Khan · Jan 07, 2006, 12:12 AM // 00:12

would you rather increase your wood chopping skills or increase your character's level, thus attribute points galore!

Holy Arch · Jan 07, 2006, 12:30 AM // 00:30

firemaking is the best skill ever created! it is so useful to!
