Title says it all

 

 

 

Which game do you think is the biggest competitor for Runescape?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Didn't know where to put it so I thought this would be...sry

WoW?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this isnt really for general p2p

WOW of what ive seen doesnt impress me other then the graphics...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

id say the halo series gears of war and WOW are major competitors of runescape's big distractions

WoW i tried it and i got bored because something was messed up about it

WoW and runescape cant be compared, runescape is a free java game, and wow is a big game wroten in another programming language.

There is no serious competitor for RS as it is unique (see a previous thread on its uniqueness)

Oblivion? :-s

Truthfully there is no other game like rs, WoW isn't a java applet, and java takes a long long time to do. THey might bother get over 1 million players, but really, they are in two different categories. As should this topic be, how the heck is it in P2P general?

I prefer WoW over most of the things that it has the same as RS. RS is 1/3 WoW's price and that's one big thing that I play RS. The other thing is, there's so much to do. We got 23 skills to train, hundreds of monsters, over 100 quests, and many minigames.

Tibia...MU Online, just to name a couple. Although neither are nearly as large as RS is now.

surely it depends on what the players interests now, for runescape from my point of view Pro Evolution Soccer 6 is their biggest rival :-w

FIFA 07 > Pro Evo \

agreed. check out how many people play rs...if anything i'd say just all of the "turn based" games in general are attempting to compete...

Don't be silly... =P You know pes6 walks all over fifa. ;)

no it can be made... its just not the best comparison. like, man that elephant is awfully gray compared to that spaceship...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its just not a level playing field. WOW is $15 a month with like $50 starter pack and it has huge expansion packs and all this all stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the idea behind this thread would be, what games take business away from/divert to another thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

like i said, halo 1 2 and upcomming 3... gears of war and oblivion and maplestory(havent played ever...heard good things) are decent games which i know are games that divert my attention away from runescape and would do to other players as well.

Real Life? :ohnoes:

Real Life? :ohnoes:

 

 

 

this... 7-10 hours a day on a game? think about what that's doing to your body/mind.

WoW seems to be like the game that Runescape is always compared to. Graphics are the only thing that is better in WoW. Runescape has more quests, skills, and a lot cheaper.

Definitely WoW. A lot of people who leave say "I like WoW better even if you have to pay the extra money." I personally don't play WoW so I wouldn't know how the game is.

maybe maplestory - not java but fairly similar (even though i've never played it :P)

NFS Carbon

 

 

 

Smackdown Vs Raw 2007

 

 

 

Also Fifa> Pes

Yah nfs carbon is another rival :-w

Maplestory, only problem with MS is you gotta download ( the terms of agreement says they havethe right to monior your computer aka it gives you a apyware)

Tibia!!!!!!!! I'm gonna get killed now.

Eventhough WoW is a completley different programing language, and isn't browser based, I'd say it's still runescape biggest competidtor. I have seen many a people leave runescape for WoW. I actually play both and can't really say which I prefer, they both have unique qualities. There are other competitors to such as Everquest2, MapleStory, Ragnorak Online, Neverwinter nights, games like counterstrike definatley, and of course, the internet in general. Then there are parents who are to up-tight to let thier kids play :XD: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Competition doesn't only have to be between browser based games, or java based games, it's about who gets the more players. If players are playing one game, they arn't playing the other!
