In your mind!

I thnk most people know what runescape is and how it is incedibly dull and how it has horrible graphics. But I know this kid who is extremely loyal to that game and i am trting to show him how much better GW is but he just wont listne what could i do to open his eyes so he can see the simple truth... GUILD WARS OWNS RUNESCAPE!

SHHHH! Dont tell the kids about guild wars. They are the reason runscape turned out to be newbscape.

Seriously, one of my little brothers freinds started what I call, the runescape conspiricy.

My god. About runescape that game has got to be the most hyped up piece of garbage I have ever played. Ughh I cannot profess to you how much I despised that game. So boring.

I am ashamed that I played Runescape for 6 months.....
I can't say that for Guild Wars, so
Guild Wars: 1 Runescape: 0

Agreed. The community on that game not only lacks the ability to keep a person interested, but its scam, dupe, bot, hack city. Runescape representitives say they keep all that out, when all they do is make a banner "Don't trust anyone.", slap a sword on it, and call the problem fixed. My friend, who thinks every game besides Runescape looks like Everquest (And he hates EQ), was scammed on there 3 times in a day, once for his addy armor and rune 2h. The game is full of idiots.

Roken's Rating 1-10:
:thumbup: Guild Wars >> Runescape :thumbdown:

The only thing I will give that game is it is the best Java game I have seen to date, but that isnt saying much.

I have a level 79 character i made in 3 months...3 Months! Mining is 76, smithing 64, etc. all those silly things. Good riddance!

You can't really compare them for Rune lacks any originality, has poor graphics, and is written in Java, a byte interpreted "Virtual Processor" (i.e. emulated).

If you had to compare, RS = -4. GW=12 with 10 being highest

*Edit* The_communist, in answer to your question, in my humble opinion, if he's a god in Runescape leave him there. He'll get bored after a while of not getting to the top and just pk-loot, pk-loot, etc. If he isn't that high level, then when the 90+ people kill him in the wilds, he'll be askin you about gw cause he'll have to beg to replace is zammy shield (1-1.5 million), and guthix helm (450-750k), etc.

If he is a friend in real life, have him over this weekend or after the release in two weeks. hehehe The graphics pull you in and immerse you, there is no turning back

Locked. Each game has its own merits, and as this is a GW fansite, we will be skewed towards our game.
