how do you know kayla? you have only ever played runescape. the graphics, PvP, world, quests/missions,and music, are all way better in guildwars ( i can say this because i have played them both, and can compare them, and i do believe josh michael and matthew will back me up on this.).

The quality of music/graphics etc. in runescape is indeed low compaired to other MMORPGs, however, this is only because Runescape is a java based game. Theres only so much you can do with java. Now, of course, java wasn't meant to be a game programing language, so why make Runescape in Java? Because then you can run it on any computer without really instaling anything (not much of anything anyway; and its quick and easy and downloads automaticly). This way, you can go anywhere in the world and if a computer has access to the internet, you could load your runescape account on to it.
Josh showed me a hillarious video about PvP in runescape compaired to WoW... He should post that here lol.

Well. Runescape is the best. True, i've never played Guildwars. But in my opinion, it looks like i wouldn't enjoy it as much as Runescape. And i'm quite happy with not having to pay 50 dollars or whatever it was. And runescape is winning. ;D

scott i can't post that video here because i watched it again... and noticed some foul languege in the song....
ok so basicly it showed the pvp in runescape vs the pvp in WoW.... let's just say there's no competition. in WoW it showed the battlegrounds where it's 40 vs 40 and you actually have skill rather than: "total_rogue hits skinny_green" "skinny_green hits total_rogue" "sonicblam hits total_rogue" "sonicblam hits skinny_green" "sonicblam hits egyptiankiwi" "sonicblam is on a killing spree"
it was quite funny... and the thing is guildwars pvp is even better than WoW pvp.

( and yes i used to love it...BEFORE I KNEW WHAT I WAS MISSING!!!) GUILDWARS OWNS ALL OTHER MMOLRPG'S!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Err... Caps lock... Anyway, Runescape has its advantages (not the least of which is that it actually runs on my computer lol) . You see guildwars as better, but have yet to realize that that is just your oppinion. Other people (myself incluced) like runescape. Now true, I have not played these other MMORPG's that everyone seems to like, but the graphix means nothing to me (well... it means something, but not much). The main thing I like about guildwars, from what I've heard, is that the skill classes are balanced.

that's actually one of my favorite things about it:
if you go over to GW's biggest competitor WoW, you'll see a huge imbalence of classes. Warriors that are fully decked out with tier 3 armor and a ledgendary sword will be unstoppable Shadow priests are unstopable against anything but a warlock or a fully decked out warrrior. Hunters at level 40 can one shot a level 60 who doesn't have good armor.
so the biggest problem is that things are differently balenced at different levels.... it gets a little crazy.
The only disadvantages guildwars has that runescape doesn't is the non-combat skills (but this is more than made up for with different professions in my opinion), and the system requirements.

if the non combat skills are the only thing that runescape has that guildwars doesent then guildwars shouldent even be compared with runescape, its so much better its in like, a whole different relm of online gameing.

Well. We all have our own opinions. And we've seen many reasons why wich one is better then wich one. But i'm still sticking with runescape.

As you should, you should not change your opinion just because someone tells you too, And naughtyelf, no offense, your my friend and I love Guildwars.....but, please stop coming on so strong about Guildwars, It is a great game but that doesn't mean that everyone has to love it, you have your opinion and she has hers, and thats the way it should be, so please stop acting like your opinion is right and everyone who doesn't like Guildwars is wrong. ..........I love Guildwars..............I just do

This is what I think as far as the best online game.
Guild Wars is good if you like to do combat. Runescape is good if you like to do basically anything other than combat. MapleStory is good if you like side scrolling hack and slash games that don't require much strategy.
It all really depends on what you like. I myself like all of these games. But that is just my opinion. ;D

My mom and lil' sis got hooked on MapleStory. How odd.
Price will stay a big indicator in my choice of what games to play, but I have to say each does indeed have their different pros and cons.

How about "Adventure Quest" anybody played that? It's a cool turn based RPG that has no multiplayer aspect, It's Great! It's weapons like the Plungerizer(watch out for it's special attack). Adventure Quest is pretty cool! I'm a Lycan
