I chose the same. But this is more or less a "gaming" section thing. I'm sorry but I don't play these to comment further-this ain't really a debate.
lol runescape is by far the worst game i ever played took me 5 mins and i gav up maple is bttr but still crap Runescape char JeVerry (lvl 4) Maple char jerrycraft (lvl 43)
Oh God... don't you have a better place to spend your money? MMOs are just as bad as Facebook apps, IMVU, Gaia, Club Penguin, etc. ... THE DEATH TO GAMECARDS!!! (Well, except for WiiPoints, Micros*itPoints, etc.)
Maple story is better graphically and overall more fun in my opinion, but i abandoned both a long time ago and have never looked back.
maplestory, but i got bored cuz my friend was being jackass when he started hacking -_- ironically, he was hacked AND he hated hackers. i quit either way, but it was still fun while it lasted ahh, the good ol' days when i was easily scammed(screw you all!)...
Runescape definitely, it's a lot more fun. Maplestory is annoying because it's basically a grindfest that you need to level up only certain skills and stats to get the most out of grinding or some crap. Runescape you can just raise everything, which is why it owns maplestory.
Runescape is a game of longevity, if you don't find a way to pass time while you play it will seem boring. The only reason it's got bad graphics is because it's a browser game. if runescape was downloadable i assure you it would have better graphics and more features. Alot of people don't like runescape, I don't care I just play to hang out with my friend stan and make machinimas =D.
I played both a 'Long' time. Runescape LV 100. (Hill-Mark) Maplestory LV 20. (Forgot Name) Both stopped, cuz its boring like hell.
Though I must say that Runescape owns Maplestory by a long shot (deeper, actual story, more to do, less grindfest, easier to understand) I must also say that they both are not really great games. I have tried a lot of MMORPG's and I must say that while Runescape does amuse you for a while it does lack something that hooks you and makes it a great game. The only game that had me playing for long would be Perfect world and Dream of Mirror Online. DOMO for short. Don't worry, you'll realise there are better games out there than these two....hopefully.
both suck, but I'd have to say maplestory sucks less seeing runescape makes me want to scoopy my eyeballs out
