Reasons why SRO will never be as good as Runescape

[Maconha]

rs - weekly updates that were actualy good (yay more boring quests)
rs - pvp system with dropped goods and knowing risks better than sro (pvp worst system ever, wildy ftfl)
rs - items have set values no variables in stats to make 1 item worth 100k gold rather than 10mil (thats boring, you cant have nice gear)
rs - much easier to sell and buy things (their forums - godly compared to sro) (stalls vs selling rune 2h press 333333)
rs - rankings (Jobs will have rankings next update...)

rs - no bots (leave out auto mine, auto fish, fletch, ect)
rs - drop rate = much better (lower prices ftfl)
rs - if you want to make money u can doing many things..u dont have to rely on trading non stop or getting a lucky som drop (Grind for drops.)
rs - did i mention content the game is just so complex so many skills to work on monsters to kill items to get (Yes. you did. )

sro - better gfx
sro - guild system = alot better
sro - horses
sro - corn plays it
sro - real pvp system Real pvp system?Please, Sro pvp system is a joke honestly.All you do is push buttons and it autoaims for you,Its a joke compared to real pvp games. D2 pvp is 900x better than sro
sro - real attking anamations

Compared to rs its real pvp. RS = splats with dmg numbers.

ok true, i just need to rant about sro pvp system because i really hate it.Because in the end, its about who is highest lvl and best gear.you just push 1 2 3 4 5 over and over again.It envolves no real skills, like your brain skills.A good pvp game will require you to actually aim your missles and be able to dodge them.A person with shitty items thats really good can beat a noob with 1337 items.Thats real pvp

you ever play diablo 2?I was addicted to it for like 2 1/2 years.its a online rpg and the pvp owns.nothing like a fps.its just good pvp and the game has bad graphics too and its still fun as hell.even though not as bad as runescape, graphics really dont matter if its a good game.But thats a good game and the pvp owns..I never played any fps games though, seems like everyone and their mother plays CS

42m + items < my 2m + 182m worth of santas + items.

Im just waiting for prices to go up at christmas, sell it all for gold, and ebay...

RS does have a much better user community. No real foreigners that don't understand english. People don't ccf. People have real informative helpful userbased fansites...

Yea im gonna ebay my account when I can, probly make like 400-500$

good idea.. i sold my RS cash for $450+ (thanks to mike and sending a mousepad to hawaii..long story).. would have sold my RS account for $300+ but after not playing for 1 or 2 years i forgot PW >.^

[DeathJester]

Now now, the only good game out there is Pirate king online :o

[Caras]

Now now, the only good game out there is Pirate king online :o

Wtf is Pirate King online?

[Stallowned]

Only good game is Woflenstein: Enemy Territory

[whY-2G]

lookin back now...
Rscape wasnt bad at all...
the only thing that was bad about Rscape was the hardness it was toO make money...
you was toO either Fish or WC...
i duno about now how toO make money...

but the things i learnt in Rscape...
got me where i am now in SRO...
so in my view Rscape isnt bad at all =D

Never read all the threads, just the beginning of the thread.

Runescape VS Silkroad

1. In my experience runescape sucks to the core if you're not a member. You look lousy/harder to level/ and can't get the essence of the game. This alone has killed many high lvl non members.

2. Even when you become a member, it still sucks. Main reason is when you die, you lose all items except the 3 most important items. F*** it if you lost dragon shield

3. Archery sucks, i only see lines flying. The melee combat is gay. Are you swinging a rubber sword? The magic was like: Hey...is it a sweet?

4. Wilderness totally shit the hell out of you. I, although have reacher lvl 96, never dare to go to wilderness unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if i go, i will strip myself.

5. Scamming in RS can be prevented easier than SRO because of the presence of confirmation window.

6. I won't say much about the graphic. I, myself don't know how to appreciate good graphic.

7. Variety of skills in RS is lacking. And you walk instead of running...most of the time

8. No jobs. PVP is not very good.

Though with these, i could play over a year. HAhaha...how long can i play silkroad like this?

[Deadly EYez]

Only good game is Woflenstein: Enemy Territory

Wrong Wrong!!

This is way better:



I really like this game..

[ThANuKa]

wouldnt you rather play with little block characters rather that 3d rendered graphics?? lol

[Skull Rider]

OMG I played rs for like a year, and quit at the end of the summer cuz i got hacked and lost millions.

The other thing that pisses me off about rs is that its full of immature 10 year olds

I play silkroad for about month and a half now, its a great game. But I cant play it anymore cuz of my graphic card, which pisses me off. I already made a topic about it. U can c the pictures of how silkroad looks like on my computer when i log on

http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=16806

Anyways, when im able to play silkroad again im making a video Silkroad Online vs Runescape to b like this
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid= ... +runescape

[Zypher]

easy to play?

i couldnt figure out how to catch a fish atthe beginning of the game.

i quit afterwards

lmao

[nightv]

man ok lets clear some things form some one with a mid lv95 =me

look runescape is not crap its just s starter rpg.

its not a great game or even a good game. its just a game, has some things to do and is easy to learn the way it is set up, you dont have to download it or take much time in playing it, it is realy cheap and dosent have the idea of "skills".

silk road onlin is a game for people that like working and talking to groups
that like to pvp and to use real skill to play a game.

if you dont get what i mean ill explain.

silk road online= job system and hidden lv system. making you learn what armor goes with what lv, skills that attack higher if there a higher lv and if you should attack, if you do not have a berserker bar full skills are also used with a build of str and int that the user does not know.


runescape=well its simple u attack or somthing enofe you will lv up.
yes there is making armor and items and long quests. with more story but there is little pvp or people interaction. the game is based for solo play man of one army so to speak. this would just be better off as a offline game set up. so ya you can sell items to people and what not ok cool what ever and there are some rare items. ok cool what ever. they dont effect the game to much add they are droped to little for the system.
IF YOU DIE U LOSE ALL BUT 3 ITEMS AND 4 USING A SKILL.

so if your work hard you can lose it there are no jobs or set pvp and there is no guilds no gfx and many more things so ya think about it

[i_hydrate_i]

the popularity of rs is undeniable..many more people play that game than this..i forgot to also mention the fact that u can teleport anywhere with magic..so many teleport spots u never have to run or walk more than 20 seconds and if u wanted to be rich u can work at it instead of hoping to get lucky with a drop ...o ya and if ur 20 levels lower than someone u can still get lucky and get the kill..in sro ..if ur even 5 levels lower ..ur dead

[Zarthos]

there is no reason to compare these games, wtf. RS is an old game. Plz Move on *=(8 tracks and cassetes were popular to back in the day), gezzz

1) it costs MUCH less money to be a member on RS then it does to have a monkey and gold time... and admit it, this game is shit without monkey & goldtime as far as training
2)you can only die in "unsafe zones" - youd have to be a tard to bring a fourth item worth a lot.
3)yes graphics blow but i beleive a game is based on content not graphics
4) the wilderness is designed so that way depending on how far you go, the more unsafe u are. At lvl 96 you should be fairly safe..bring a friend with u =-P
5)tru dat ^ - ^
6) grumple grumple
7)are u shitting me? there are about 20-30 diferent skills you can trai on in runescape..melee, fishing, agility (which btw makes u run faster), range, magic, firemaking, tree cutting, runecrafting =-P
i think castle wars is kind of like jobs.. you have different teams and play capture flag o-O

i quit RS cuse the training was BORING, and i LOVE silkroad ^ - ^...but i can never say RS was a bad game

[Zarthos]

Out of (topic) Buying a monkey Makes you a Monkey

[Romber]

use real skill to play a game.

No mmorpg can ever take "skill" to play. There is no Micro, no strategy. Just click and kill. If free time was a skill, then any mmorpg would take skill, but it isn't. Anyone can be good at a mmorpg just because they play it alot.

More people play cause little kids can play at the public library. Its called return scroll. Rich = trading / playing market.
20 lvls lower you wont kill anyone. RS is old, was fun in the mid 90s, now its over. Anyone who plays at home / has boradband plays real games.
I dont like 100 polygon java men.

[Maconha]

You know what else is gay about sro?All the char skins make no difference other than looks.Because they are all the same builds and thats just really stupid.Its best when there is different character that have different skills.Wayy better imo


ps:Heres a pic of one of the best games ever with all its chars

So tell me? What is a real game? Something that looks cool, and flashy? Or is it something that you play and can have fun with?
RS was never around in the mid 90s. The closest thing to that was DeviousMUD which was in 1999 and it wasn't even released to the public. Runescape came out in 2001.
So what if "little kids" can play at the library? They play it, end of discussion. It doesn't matter who plays it or where.
The only way to be rich on sro is from drops, don't give none of that playing the market BS because you need a good amount of money to start with, which can only be gotten from drops or a rich friend.
Your whole argument lies around the game is old, the game doesn't have state of the art graphics, and a good portion of it's users are "little kids."
I'm really sick of people like you.
No I don't play runescape, or actually like Runescape for that matter, but I just can't take the bs about graphics and little kids.
Runescape is good at what it is, a game. People play, and want to play. There is almost an unlimited amount of things you can do, from raising skills to fighting monsters to doing quests (if you don't use a guide) to pking people (for an substantial risk/ potential profit) and running through obstacle courses. The options are almost limitless. There is also a weekly update, the company at the very least, pretends to care about it's customers. There is true customer support.
I used to play Runescape. I started in late 2001. I've played it off and on until about January 2006. The only reason I stopped playing is because I got bored of it, not because of the people, or the graphics, or whatever oter reasons you can come up with. I lost interest in the game, just like silkroad, and stopped playing.

[Caras]

One of the only things better about runescape than sro is they have alot of quests. Alot of them are actually fun and rewarding, and in sro, they do have some but about 2/3 of the game is grinding. Thats why WoW over rides both of these games.

[XuChu]

42m + items < my 2m + 182m worth of santas + items.

and 97 slayer > w.e you have chaud btw if i didnt get hammered that time and spent 125m and 4whips on ranger boots and robins without 97 slayer id own ur santas i gotta check how much bloods i still hav

[sunny rays]

Okay didn't bother to read through the whole thread...but the moment I saw "Runescape" I remembered the 15 degrees arm movement during combat and had to craw into a corner and weep. oh BTW check this awesome graphix out:



ohhh 14 damage I've seen better from mangyangs.

I got banned from RS for complete BS reasons when I had 81 herblore and 79 farming and 85 magic. At least I sold 10 mil GP on Ebay for $110 before I got banned (ironically, NOT for selling GP on Ebay)
