I would choose maplestory cause runescape has no classes and etc
Wow, Runescape does have classes, 3 infact. It has Warrior, Ranger, and Wizard. I know they are only skills but thats what pures are for.

Runescape weapons sometimes have specials, that are unique for every weapon. Also, some full sets of armor have a bonus. Some spells can cause special effects, such as the 3 level 60 god spells. There are far more spells in runescape then there are in MS, and there isn't as much inflation either.

And? Basically, MS consists of grinding. Grinding. And more grinding :/. Its really the same thing, but it does not require as much time to hit a max level in runescape as it does to hit the max level in MS. The quests in runescape are far better, rather than "Kill XXX "monster1" and then "bring me XX "furs of monster2"

actually, there are WWAAYYYY more "spells" in Maplestory compared to Runescape. The armour effects are nice, but still, Maplestory offers a much wider range of armours and weapons. As for inflation in Runescape, Lobsters went from 200gp each, down to 60gp each, and back up to 200gp each (this was about 1/2 a year ago). That's pretty big inflation/deflation I think.

Maplestory provides much more than that. Grinding is the major part of the game, but merchanting, bossing, party questing etc etc etc are also quite apparent.
As Maplestory requires much more time to hit max level, it provides much more challenge than Runescape in my opinion, and that's another reason why I think Maplestory is more fun. There are many quests that say "kill xx of a certain monster and bring me xx of a certain item", but there are other quests that provide much more, including very thought out storylines

Overall, I think Runescape is improving heaps, while Maple is lagging behind in terms of development, however, unless Runescape does another graphics upgrade, I think Maplestory is the better game

After the recent updates from runescape, it sucks.

Ugh, why did this have to get bumped back >_>. This is a biased question here and thats the end of discussion.

re: MapleStory vs. RuneScape. The epic comparison.

not exactly bias, as there are many here who've played both games. I do enjoy both as well, although I feel Maplestory is better

re: MapleStory vs. RuneScape. The epic comparison.

These games are too different.. how can you compare them? It's like comparing World Of Warcraft and Eve-Online.

Though imho the Maple community is MUCH friendlier..


Now my biased opinion.
Eve > Everything else.

I agree with your statement about quests. I enjoy the runescape quests much more than maplestory's, but there is a limited amount for those without a paying membership.

re: MapleStory vs. RuneScape. The epic comparison.

Not that i want to add to the bumpin, but the thing about runescape i found frustrating is the movement and the fact you have to have RUNES to cast spells and the fact that hardly anyone helps you. I hated the community in Runescape. Trust me, the longest i got into Runescape, was a week. Couldn't go longer. got waaaaaay too boring.
