both runescape and maplestory are awesome online games...i play both, and i like both, but there has been lots of argument as to which is the better game. i think that if ur a member on rs, then its probably more fun than maplestory becuase u hav access to so much more stuff, and runescape isn't all about killing monsters either. wat do u think??

no offence, but both games are a total crap for me, both has some useless GFX engines, should be rated for KIDS only imho, but than again kids should be prohibited from playing it to stay healthy...

idk y ur being so negative about that... if u've got problems w/ kids playing games, then complain to the game makers, not the players...-_- ur probably just jealous kids these days have so much more available to them then u did back in the 20's or w/e... besides, in case u havn't heard, there has been research done, and it shows that a lot of games can actually be positive for kids

I think maplestory is a lot better than runescape. First of all, characters in runescape looks just awful. Just by spending a bit of money you can personalise your character so much with maplestory. Also party quests in maplestory is really fun. I think I like the fact that you can attack other player in runescape though. In terms of graphics, although maplestory is 2D it's a lot better.

true....though the upgrades with nexon only last a certain amount of time...so u gotta respend money...unless u change eye color or get a haircut...-_- lol, plus, if u havn't heard, runescape is going through a graphic update...and it's currently beta testing for members...and i've heard that it's soo much better...so idk, we'll see i guess

I think they both are Fail Games. I played both of them for a week and compared to other mmorpgs standars they FAIL HARd. Maplestory is fun at first but then comes the Harsh Grind. Runescape was kinda horrible. But i DO Mplay Mabinogi. Thats fun. Oh and I also Played many mmorpgs over 20 and truth be told only Guild Wars, Mabinogi and Fairyland ( when i was younger) kept me interested over w 2 weeks. If you think those 2 are awesome find another mmorpg game and you'll se what Your missing.

well...if heard about a lot, and i really don't wanna start out as a noob again... besides, a lot of the good ones require: 1) that u either buy the game/pay a monthly fee to play...(like guild wars, u gotta buy it, plus when expansions come out, then u go and spend more money..) 2) insanely big downloads, like gigs, plus fast internet to play...which i don't relaly hav time for and internet isn't wat i'd call really fast... 3) both -_- haha, well...i've heard some good things about mabinogi...idk, maybe

Until recently the games were tied in play standards. though now since runescape was revamped and thers a trade limit and no more wilderness people tend to lean more towards maplestory. plus i feel that maple story has a greatly increased graphics system in the way that they focus more on graphics than playability content.

i play runescape and maplestory, and it is a matter of opinion, if want confusing controls play maplestory, or if u want to get lost easily play runescape
