Ahem, ahem. The word 'peenorz' could refer to peanuts. Thank you. I'm sure Silverspy likes his peanuts, so they must give more of 'em in WoW.

YEA THE PEANUTS ARE SERIOUSLY LIKE THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL!

[Final F8]

you like the huge peenorz, don't you?

If it weren't for all the companies that make crappy games, it would be obvious that WoW -- a game designed for commercial operation from the start by one of the most famous game companies in the world, costing about $50 in the store plus an additional $13 (or so) a month -- would "pwn rs in teh buttzor wit itz huge peenorz" given that RS was originally designed as one of Andrew's "on-the-side" hobbies, and even you only have to pay $5 a month to Jagex -- one of the lesser-known gaming companies with no reputation outside of RS -- and the members' version is optional.

Yeah, that was a long sentence. It's probably a run-on, but I don't care. English hates me.

So like I was saying: if it weren't for all the crappy commercially-sold games out there, I'd slap you because it should be obvious that WoW "pwns" RS.

Anyhoo, have fun playing. Keep your account and come to an event or two though

If you really want to pay lots of money, why not play Everquest?

If you reeeaaaalllly want to pay lots of money, give me all of your credit card numbers.

For about $22 per month (Sony's 'Station Access' plan) you can get Everquest, Everquest II, Planetside, and Star Wars Galaxies, which all also 'pwn' Runescape.

All of those games and WoW have a huge backing. Also games like those are already above a browser-based Java game in terms of capabilities.

The thing Runescape has is accessibility and simplicity (not in a bad way). Can multitask and do whatever while also being on RS. Also easier to bring friends to RS since it has a free version, making the social aspect a little stronger. Can also play it from basically any computer with internet access. Not so easy with the more massive games. To some this may be a consideration.

I'm personally an EQ2/SWG person, but every game mentioned in this thread has its strengths and weaknesses.

[Ruckus Fox]

I disagree, Cspace...I can't RP on Furc, even just to make a post without being logged off by their stupid auto logger.

But the fact is is that larger companies like SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) Have more of a reputation for good games, that's one of the reasons why EQ is so highly prided, another thing about that is that there are lots of items, quests, weapons, styles of playing, classes, races, etc. etc. and you'll NEVER find ONE person wearing the exact same stuff as you are unless you A) Had it planned. or B) You're wearing something cheap like cloth or leather.

The point is, RS just doesn't have an edge on publicity. It's not like Andrew Gower makes anything great... What did he do? He simply took some board games and put them on the internet...Surprised he didn't get sued for copyright infringment or something with the franchise.

He built the games himself and most of the games are public domain I believe.

I don't think that games like chess and checkers are owned by anyone, but correct me If i'm wrong. Other games that he copied such as Monkey Puzzle (Bubble Puzzle) are changed enough that he can't be sued either
