How can you compare WoW to Runescape? - Games

I'll argue my points, you guys can bash them. Just for the record, I favor WoW and have played both games for extensive amounts of time. [b]Just some quick rules:[/b] 1. None of "WOW failz, runescape ownz." Develop your fucking answer moron. 2. Must be 13+ years of age to be payed attention to in here, seeing as to how WoW is 13+. 3. If you want me to add something to the OP, please follow the format I wrote in below. Added videos for those saying: "Who's comparing them, idiot?" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVpbPJpRzlg[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU7FIzxgYOE[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSJTXmluX-o&feature=fvsr[/media] [b]-Pvp-[/b] WoW - From several different kinds of battlegrounds (Eye of the storm, Warsong Gultch, Arena, ect) to raiding the enemies home town to destroy their leader/them. Groups can work together to destroy one, or one can use AoE's (Area of Effect) to destroy groups. This applies to PvE aswell Runescape - Runescape has the Wilderness, Duel-Arena, Castle Wars, ect. Players must fight 1-1 and take turns attacking different people if being attacked by a group. This applies to PvE aswell. [b]-Achievements & Titles-[/b] WoW - Over 900 Achievements with acceptional rewards such as titles, mounts, tabards (Colors), and unlockables at vendors. Some examples of titles: Loremaster <name> or <name>, Champion of the frozen wastes. Runescape - Runescape has achievements but you have no reason to bother getting them. (Thanks Tc3001) [b]-Leveling and Quests-[/b] WoW - I guess this categorie is just a matter of opinion. Worlf of Warcraft turns to quests for leveling and/or dungeons/instances/raids. These quests give an exceptional amount of XP and also give rewards such and money and quite often useful equips. Some quests suggest you work in a group or may bring you to a dungeon. Only thing is, the quests are very repetitive. But after 5000+ quests, you know you've run out of ideas. Runescape - Runescape turns to PvE for leveling. Most quests also give a exceptional amount of XP, but more often then not, shit rewards and the XP eventually also turns to shit and quests become utterly useless. Although, some quests do unlock certain areas and abilities for specific kinds of players. Quests are original and non repetitive, but their aren't many. [b]-Scenery & Loading (Should make more sense now, Ty Tc3001)-[/b] WoW - One of the most awesome things in WoW would have to be the scenery. I mean come on. You can fly through all of Kalimdor or whatever and never see a loading screen (Unless teleporting). WoW has BEAUTIFUL scenery and you can often see quite far while flying. Runescape - You can't walk for more than 2 minutes without coming across a loading screen. Now don't tell me there's no way to avoid this and it's impossible to make it so there's no loading screens. "BUT RUNESCAPE IS A BROWSER GAME!" Isn't a good excuse. The scenery is exceptional but can't be enjoyed like in WoW. [b]-Travelling (As requested by Tc3001)-[/b] WoW - Mounts, a quicker way to get around for a cost at a certain level. Normal riding is at level 30 (60% Faster), epic riding is at level 60 (100% Faster), expert flying is at 70 (60% in the air) and artisan flying is also at 70 for 5 times the price (280%-310% in the air). Mages can only teleport and open portals for party members and themselves. Runescape - Runescape doesn't have mounts. They do have teleports though. Anyone with a high level of magic can teleport with the right regeants. Although, Runescape does lack a mass-person port. Yeah, you can teleport your friend, but you can't use the portal yourself. Thus, making you use several ports for several people including yourself. [b]-Customer Support-[/b] Blizzard (WoW) - You can fucking call these people about anything. Banned, Billing, problems in-game ect. That's right! If some shit went wrong, you can SPEAK to a LIVE person on the PHONE. Or, if having troubles in game, you can open a ticket to speak with a GM in-game. After waiting a couple of hours or so, you can chat with a GM in game about any problems you are experiencing in-game. And most of the time, they actually help. Do not use "Yeah well you pay 15$ a month so you better get customer support!" As an excuse, you pay 5$ (If member) a month and you still get shit. Jagex (Runescape) - Oh god the stupidest shit that's happened to me in this fucking game. I got permabanned for typing a qp w. It supposedly LOOKED like a penis and I have no idea to defend myself. I mean come the fucking on, beckon emote looks like you're sucking someone off. No contact, some email that probably gets deleted when received, and definatelly no in-game support. Jagex is fucking terrible when it comes to customer support. Any arguements in this field will be ignored simply because you just can't do anything about anything that's happened to you. [b]-Story-[/b] WoW - Anyone who says WoW has no story is simply a fucking idiot. WoW was CREATED on a story. WoW was either going to be a movie or a game, a game obviously turned out to be a better choice. The story of WoW is called The Lore. If you read the lore, chances are you can know what to except in the coming years of WoW. There is WAY to much story to explain. Look it up if you're that curious. Runescape - From my understanding, here's Runescape in a nutshell: Ohai gaiz i haz a sworded and a shield i hit people yayz lolol omg haha mage person. How fucking intense. Discuss if you think there's some kind of story behind the ENTIRE game not 1 quest chain that you do. [b]-Emotes-[/b] Do we really have to get into this? It's fucking emotes, grow up. [b]-Classes & Races-[/b] WoW - Okay, here goes. Undead, Bloodelf, Orc, Troll, Torn, Nightelf, Gnome, Dwarf, Human and Draenie. All of which could play as Mage, Druid, Warlock, Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, and a Deathknight at level 55. By the way, the races are split into 2 teams, Horde and Alliance. Not only could you play all of those classes, but each one can have a different talent build. You can be a frost mage, fire mage, arcange mage, boomkin, tank, ect. Runescape - This shouldn't take to long. Warrior, Mage, Archer. Well... if you're feeling adventurous I guess you can make your character black to say he's a different race. If anyone is to have special "talents" it's only mages. Mages can get there ancient shit after a long and hard quest. But, that's about it. A warrior hits you with his sword and hopes he hits well, an archer assaults you with arrows, and a mage fires magic fury at you. [b]-Servers & Realms-[/b] WoW - WoW has different Realms (Let's call them servers for now) in which you cannot contact another server. Although, you can request that blizzard changes the server your character is on. You can either ask and wait, or you can pay to be on the "Definite" realm switch list. Although it would be cool to have several servers that you can switch from to another with ease, this is great if you've ninjad a guild bank and want to gtfo asap. Runescape - Runescape has world in which you can connect with anyone in the game. Worlds being another word for Server. So if someones bugging you, you can change server and never see them again. OR if they're really that desperate, they can follow you as they please and you can't do anything about it. [b]-The combat "Triangle"-[/b] WoW - Not so much of a triangle for WoW. You can basically kill anyone in your level range with SKILL. Yes, that's something you must possess. You need timing, powerful and quick buff techniques, access to all your damaging instant casts to take out that last bit of health, and health spells. You can also battle 1-1 as you please if the other person accepts your invite. That's right, ANYWHERE! (Well, except civilized major cities) Ruenscape - Put simply, Warrior beats Archer, Archer beats Mage, Mage beats Warrior. If you're on the wrong end of that triangle, don't waste your time. If your fighting someone of the same class, it's basically who has more food and who hits first. Here's a demo of a runscape fight: "Haha i hit you hard that time, you're almost dead. Yeah so are you! But I have strengh pots to take you out and I got first hit. Yeah but you're outta food SAFER LOLOLOLOL SAFER WTF NOOB HAHAHA *Runs outta wildy*. Did I mention you can flee and end the fight as you please and heal in combat for everlasting battles? Fucking awesome right? <- That was sarcasm. [b]-Guilds & Clans-[/b] WoW - WoW has guilds in which many people can join ON INVITE and have a fancy shmancy guild title under their name. Guilds have their own chat and ranks in which you can access the guild bank. The guild bank rights are set by the guild leader. Anyone can deposit, most can withdraw some, few can take the whole thing. (Usually trusted people promoted by the leader) You can level with guildmates, raid with guildmates, fucking talk about what you fap to with guildmates all in the privacy of your chat. Runescape - Clans. I'm sorry, I don't get that thing. You join someones name on demand that a lvl 3 person who just started playing can join and you basically do nothing. You can chat I guess. OH OH WAIT! You can go in the wildy to 1-1 with a nice person who just wants to have a friendly sparr. Then when you're at the end of the wildy, you and you clan thing can ambush him and then laugh at how much he sucks because he couldn't take all 7 of you on at once. Wow that nice person who wanted a 1-1 must fucking suck to not be able to take on those 7 guys at once, what a fucking noob. <- Sarcasm aswell. If only you had some AoE's... [b]-Parties-[/b] WoW - Put simply, you can share experience from killing things in a party, leveling with parties, do instances with parties, raid with parties, and teleport others in parties. Runescape - Last I checked, there was no such thing. [b]-Player's attitudes-[/b] WoW - I have NEVER seen nicer people in a game. My RL friend thought it would be funny to port me to Outlands after telling to he found a great leveling spot that required me to drop my hearthstone. Some RANDOM person that I had just met walked me back to civilization. This took an hour and a half. He actually dropped what he was doing and walked me back one hour and thirty minutes. Also if you need help with a group quest, you can use the /who function to find a level 80 in the area who can be your angel for a short while. Put simply, WoW people are awesome. Runescape - Hey can you help me kill this guy, he's tough. GTFO NOOB CAN'T YOU SEE I NEED TO DO THINGS GTFO NOOB LOLOLOL I HAZ MORE MONEY THAN YOU MAKE MONEY YOURSELF LEVELING YOURSELF COOK YOURSELF FOOD DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF BECAUSE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO YOU FUCKING FNOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@!!!1one!!@ [b]-Insurance-[/b] WoW - Everyday, Blizzard takes 5 screenshots of your account. If you ever get hacked, contact blizzard and they will do a full investigation and most likely endup giving back your items and money. Runescape - Hahahahahahahahaha no. [b]-Refering a friend-[/b] WoW - In WoW, you can recruit a friend. If you do so and he/she buys a month, you get a free month, 3x XP when training together, summoning abilities, and if he gets 2 months, an exclusive epic riding mount. The link between your accounts lasts 3 months. Runescape - Umm... Jagex couldn't give a fuck less. [b]-Public Test Realm-[/b] WoW - WoW has a public test realm where subscribed players can go and test out upcoming raids/fixes/spells/skills/anything and tell Blizzard what's good and what isn't. Be it convinience, bugs, OPness, ect. Blizzard takes feedback and takes it into consideration. Runescape - No such thing, they force good/bad things upon you. BUT, if you complain enough, give them a year or so and it should be gone. You know you runescape players can agree with this. I mean come on, Bounty hunter? Grand exchang and 3K profit/loss margin? What the fuck is that shit? [b]-Price and Playing time-[/b] WoW - 15$/month, 10-14 day trial, Refer-A-Friend(s) months, scroll of ressurection, and expansions usually at 40$ every new one. By the way, scroll of ressurection is for that Refered buddy that stopped playing. After 3 months of an idle account, you can ressurect his account and have access to the full game for 10 days Runescape - Free, 5$/month. You can be a member and have a fuckload of new quests, have new people to kick your ass in new ways, a few new skills, and... yeah. Oh and exclusive OP (overpriced) equips/items. But I'm not bashing this. It's 5$ a month, that's not so bad. [B]I'm tired of spending time on this, Discuss.[/b]

Uh.. I haven't seen that many comparisons. And if they do, its usually to show how shitty of a game runescape in reality is. The point of this thread? Stating the obvious it seems. World of Warcraft reigns superior. There ya go.

How can you compare the two? The only characteristic they share is that they're both online games.

Stating the obvious it seems. World of Warcraft reigns superior. There ya go.[/QUOTE] Post in a WoW vs. Runescape video on youtube about WoW being superior to runescape and watch the "OMG WTF RUNESCAPE IS A MUCH BETTER GAME" comments start pouring in.

If you are discussing how to compare WoW and Runescape, the fact that one is run [b]in a browser[/b] and one is run on a much, [b]much[/b] more powerful system should be your answer to all of the game content questions. There's only so much you can do in a browser. But where Jagex is concerned, 99% agree. Apart from the fact that they are slowly loosening the restrictions on trading, PVP and other things you mentioned in the OP. Also, community is :downs:. Disagreeing is futile.

OP, you don't seem like you really have played WoW since your part about the mounts is completely wrong, unless you haven't played it to level 80. At level 70 you can buy the normal flying mount ( 60% speed ) aswell as the epic flying mount ( 280% speed ), which you can fly in Outland. At level 77 you can buy Cold Weather Flying to use your flying mounts in Northrend aswell. Edit: Not even gonna mention the wrongly spelled race names ( Torn LOL ) and that you forget to mention the Shaman as a class.

Both are bad. /thread

daerht\ Please continue.

To be fair, Runescape DOES have a party system called lootshare. Also, Runescape was most peoples first MMO because it was free and required no download. It was quite fun and the professions were always addicting.

I see wrong info. Blizzard does not take screenshots of your account, no never. What they have is a cleverly done system that logs everything. Smaller things stay a couple of hours, bigger ones for years. For example your account never gets deleted from their logs. Also Runescape is the most advanced browser based MMO, you dont play WoW downloading a few kb of cache and all the game works trough your browser.

If it's a browser game and you know that's it's weakness, why would people say RS is better? Especially when RS fanboys say the graphics are better in RS HD. I lol myself to sleep with that one. Also, you're right about the logs thing, Thanks.

[quote]-Pvp- Runescape - Runescape has the Wilderness, Duel-Arena, Castle Wars, ect. Players must fight 1-1 and take turns attacking different people if being attacked by a group. This applies to PvE aswell.[/quote] I think you're actually able to gang up on people in Castle Wars, but I haven't been a member in a while so I'm not sure if this is true. And this 1-1 rule doesn't apply to PvE. There are a lot of PvE minigames and areas where you can attack monsters with other players. [quote]-Achievements & Titles- Runescape - What is this I don't even...[/quote] Runescape does have 'Achievements', but there are no points accumulated for getting them. [quote]-Leveling- Runescape - Runescape turns to PvE for leveling. Most quests also give a exceptional amount of XP, but more often then not, shit rewards and the XP eventually also turns to shit and quests become utterly useless. Although, some quests do unlock certain areas and abilities for specific kinds of players.[/quote] This sounds more like you're comparing quests rather than actual leveling. Leveling in Runescape is a lot more tedious though, and most quests will not give any experience towards you're combat level. [quote]-Sights & Loading- Runescape - You can't walk for more than 2 minutes without coming across a loading screen. Now don't tell me there's no way to avoid this and it's impossible to make it so there's no loading screens. "BUT RUNESCAPE IS A BROWSER GAME!" Isn't a good excuse. The scenery is exceptional but can't be enjoyed like in WoW.[/quote] I agree that loading times in Runescape are too frequent. However, I don't see how you can compare the 'sights' in Runescape and the sights in WoW. [quote]-Mounts- Runescape - Last i checked, runescape didn't have mounts.[/quote] It still doesn't, but you can't compare this 'feature'. It's like a Halo fanboy talking to bad about Killzone, "rolfz ur game doesnt hav dual wielding". A more appropriate title would be traveling, considering that's basically what mounts are used for. Runescape has running and teleport spells, but I don't think the world is big enough yet for a permanent boost in running speed. If you're a member, you can increase the time you can run with agility, but it's not much. [quote]-Customer Support- Jagex (Runescape) - Oh god the stupidest shit that's happened to me in this fucking game. I got permabanned for typing a qp w. It supposedly LOOKED like a penis and I have no idea to defend myself. I mean come the fucking on, beckon emote looks like you're sucking someone off. No contact, some email that probably gets deleted when received, and definatelly no in-game support. Jagex is fucking terrible when it comes to customer support. Any arguements in this field will be ignored simply because you just can't do anything about anything that's happened to you.[/quote] I agree that Jagex customer support is really shitty, but I'm not all that surprised that they banned you for typing something like that. One thing that's somewhat common knowledge amongst Runescape users is that if you're not a member, Jagex will not help you whatsoever. [quote]-Story- Runescape - From my understanding, here's Runescape in a nutshell: Ohai gaiz i haz a sworded and a shield i hit people yayz lolol omg haha mage person. How fucking intense. Discuss if you think there's some kind of story behind the ENTIRE game not 1 quest chain that you do.[/quote] This comparison is pretty unfair in general. WoW's had games and books leading up to its release that were all about story. Runescape was the first in its series with no books about it whatsoever. Runescape does have lore concerning the gods and what happened to them, and a few member's quest are revealing more and more things about the 'World of Runescape', but it's definitely not as shiny as Warcraft's. [quote]-Classes & Races- Runescape - This shouldn't take to long. Warrior, Mage, Archer. Well... if you're feeling adventurous I guess you can make your character black to say he's a different race. If anyone is to have special "talents" it's only mages. Mages can get there ancient shit after a long and hard quest. But, that's about it. A warrior hits you with his sword and hopes he hits well, an archer assaults you with arrows, and a mage fires magic fury at you.[/quote] Refer to the "Halo and Killzone" comment above. A game doesn't require dual-wielding to be good and it also doesn't require different races to be good. It doesn't have all the combinations of classes like WoW does, but that's because you can do everything there is in the game with one character. You can be a warrior/archer/mage combination since there's no restrictions on the skills. A direct class system and this type of system are very different and you can't compare the two. Each system basically defines the game. [quote]-Servers & Realms- Runescape - Runescape has world in which you can connect with anyone in the game. Worlds being another word for Server. So if someones bugging you, you can change server and never see them again. OR if they're really that desperate, they can follow you as they please and you can't do anything about it.[/quote] Pretty much it, but there is an ignore function. If you ignore someone, they can't tell what world you're on, which highly reduces the chances of them finding you. [quote]-The combat "Triange"- Ruenscape - Put simply, Warrior beats Archer, Archer beats Mage, Mage beats Warrior. If you're on the wrong end of that triangle, don't waste your time. If your fighting someone of the same class, it's basically who has more food and who hits first. Here's a demo of a runscape fight: "Haha i hit you hard that time, you're almost dead. Yeah so are you! But I have strengh pots to take you out and I got first hit. Yeah but you're outta food SAFER LOLOLOLOL SAFER WTF NOOB HAHAHA *Runs outta wildy*. Did I mention you can flee and end the fight as you please and heal in combat for everlasting battles? Fucking awesome right? <- That was sarcasm.[/quote] The combat triangle exists, but scenarios like that only happen with complete noobs to the game. Chances are that if a veteran player goes into PvP, they're going to have prayers (buffs that you can activate at the cost of prayer points) which basically make that type of combat useless. Anti-magic, anti-ranged, anti-melee. The triangle's always shifting and isn't as strict as you make it out to be. [quote]-Guilds & Clans- Runescape - Clans. I'm sorry, I don't get that thing. You join someones name on demand that a lvl 3 person who just started playing can join and you basically do nothing. You can chat I guess. OH OH WAIT! You can go in the wildy to 1-1 with a nice person who just wants to have a friendly sparr. Then when you're at the end of the wildy, you and you clan thing can ambush him and then laugh at how much he sucks because he couldn't take all 7 of you on at once. Wow that nice person who wanted a 1-1 must fucking suck to not be able to take on those 7 guys at once, what a fucking noob. <- Sarcasm aswell. If only you had some AoE's...[/quote] You're right, Runescape's clan system is very [b]very[/b] bare. I doubt they're going to improve it and it's pretty much just a group chat. [quote]-Player's attitudes- Runescape - Hey can you help me kill this guy, he's tough. GTFO NOOB CAN'T YOU SEE I NEED TO DO THINGS GTFO NOOB LOLOLOL I HAZ MORE MONEY THAN YOU MAKE MONEY YOURSELF LEVELING YOURSELF COOK YOURSELF FOOD DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF BECAUSE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO YOU FUCKING FNOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@!!!1one!!@[/quote] Sounds very biased. I'm sure WoW has its fair share of jackasses who will tell you to fuck off if you ask them for help, but acting like it doesn't really shows the bias. Also, from my personal experience in da' runescrapez: Most players will ignore you if you ask them something. If someone asks [b]you[/b] for free stuff and you say no, they will call you a noob and probably continue to harass you. They can't spell, especially when it comes to the word 'scythe' (you won't believe the ways they try to spell it). To put it simply, most people on Runescape are stupid, but not all of them. Same goes for WoW, but in reverse order. [quote]-Refering a friend- Runescape - Umm... Jagex couldn't give a fuck less.[/quote] Probably because Runescape doesn't need such a feature. It doesn't take as long as it does in WoW to get to all of the juicy features. Leveling in WoW varies in time. At the rate I was going at, it would take about a month to get to level 60, which basically from then on has juicy content. In Runescape, it takes only a few days to get to level 20, which if you're a member, you can already enjoy some juicy content. [quote]-Public Test Realm- Runescape - No such thing, they force good/bad things upon you. BUT, if you complain enough, give them a year or so and it should be gone. You know you runescape players can agree with this. I mean come on, Bounty hunter? Grand exchang and 3K profit/loss margin? What the fuck is that shit?[/quote] As far as I'm aware, WoW and other Blizzard games are the only games that have a "Public Test Realm," so I don't really see what's with bashing Runescape for not having this feature. Also, the Grand Exchange and the profit/loss margin were some of the really great additions to Runescape. The profit/loss margin literally got rid of all "pay for gold" sites, and the Grand Exchange made it a hell of a lot easier for beginners to earn money. I agree though, some of the updates were really bad, such as Bounty Hunter. Not heavily reading over my massive post to check for spelling/grammar errors, and any comments I made about Runescape is considering that the player is a member.

Well, I can definitely see which way the bias leans in that. They both have their benefits and downfalls, and they are barely comparable gameplay wise anyways.

There's the money issue of course. WoW has more content n shit, but costs about 4x as much as RS

IMO OP's review was totally immature. It goes like this: [quote] WOW: Awesome, long texts RS: Hahah oh wow(some childish text) [/quote] OP is obvious rs fanboy. I personally don't play any of them, but I think comparing browser game, to a game that takes more than 10gb on your hdd is wrong.

EVE beats WoW in every category you posted.

[QUOTE=Kalinium;15998414]EVE beats WoW in every category you posted.[/QUOTE] Not for me. I hate sfi-fi and even more where you wait to skill. But whatever.

You simply can't compare the two.

[QUOTE=Xelatomis;16006497]Hmm... maybe you can I could agree with you if you knew anything about any of these games. That'd be cool.[/QUOTE] I think I know enough about both of them since I have played them.

they share the same idea and are rpg esc type games action rpgs to be correct thats why they are similar if you dont look very far into the game ( not have a girlfried basicly ) then you wont really notice a whole lot of differences

They are both horrible. EVE ftw

Putting aside the issue of not actually being able to compare the two because they're so different, the OP is incredibly biased and he has obviously not played Runescape nearly as much as he's played WoW. That said, Runescape is actually a very decent game considering you can play for free, it's just marred by the incredibly immature community.

That's the problem with WoW too, come to think of it.

[QUOTE=Kalinium;15998414]EVE beats WoW in every category you posted.[/QUOTE] Get out of the thread [I]please[/I]. Honestly, can you give me one positive thing that you are trying to do, other than starting a shitstorm? [editline]11:30AM[/editline] [QUOTE=kokonut;16015783]They are both horrible. EVE ftw[/QUOTE] You too. This thread isn't about EVE [editline]11:38AM[/editline] To be honest, quests in runescape are a lot more intricate in Runescape than in wow. The quests themselves are very diverse, and it's pretty hard to find 2 quests that are alike. On the other hand, wow doesn't have quests like runescape has. Runecape has the whole quest as one quest, where as WoW has quests that are split up into quest chains. Although it may seem like Runescape has the better version, I'd have to say it's wow, simply because the chains can be split into up to 20 steps, and you get XP and gold rewards through out the quest line. Meaning that if you do half of the chain and decide to move on to a new zone, you can still get some XP and gold out of it, where as in Runescape if you do half of a quest chain and get bored, you get [U]nothing.[/U] And for those saying wow's quests are repetitive and Runescape's quests aren't, think about this: Wow has ~3000quests, maybe even more. Runecape has ~100 quests, if not less. You try thinking of 3000 quests that don't repeat themselves.

Runescape has some pretty unique quests. A lot of the quests in WoW are about killing X number of Y beast and maybe collecting Z number of item V

This is basically OP bashing Runescape and making WoW sound godlike. You don't point ANY good things about Runescape (I don't actually play, but I'm sure it has something decent) also you can't even compare the two.

How come others can and I can't.

I used to play Runescape and I enjoyed it. I can see why people compare it, as they both seem Medieval games. But Runescape is like a free version and more basic one of WOW. They both have levels and skills you can get up. The only thing is you have to pay for WOW monthly and Runescape has a basic free version and a membership one. The Price was good at £3.75 when I last checked and played it.
