1.) The quests are the most imdepth I've seen in any mmo, and can somtimes take hours and days of puzzles and fun to complete.
2.) Account security, its almost impossible to LOSE an account, and if you get hacked, you can change your questions/password easily.
3.) Costumer service, they have official forums, moderated by the creators themselves, asking for imput, suggestions, and help.
4.) They crack down HARD on cheaters, botters, and scammers, giving 3 day ban, 1 week ban, then perma ban, I was perm banned, then a few years later, I send in a request telling them how much I changed over the years and they actualy unbanned my account on a last chance basis.
5.) They have a variety of items/weapons/armor, bank space, and rare (discontinued) items that you can buy/sell/work for
6.) They have MULTIPLE skills that you can train, not just combat, such as: Prayer, Magic, Cooking, woodcutting, Fletching, Fishing, Firemaking, Crafting, Smithing, Mining, Herblore, Agility, Thieving, Slayer, Farming, Runecraft, Hunter, Construction, as well as the basic Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, and Ranged, for combat.
7.) They have highscores, ranking up to 1 million, to strive past the 99 level cap in each skill, to be the best player.
8.) When the server goes down, its usualy for 2-15 minutes.
SRO sucks in comparison because:
1.) The quests are the most boring things ever, kill this, collect that, take this to jangan, and come back.
2.) Account security, more often than not, if you get hacked, you get farked.
3.) Customer service, joymax dosnt listen to anything its players say, they care only for money, and population (botters).
4.) They dont do shit to botters/cheaters/scammers, as long as people buy silk, they are happy.
5.) All you can train is combat combat combat, endless hours of grinding and grinding, competeing with bots against level spots.
6.) When the server goes down, its for 3-8 hours.
i only play sro cause the skills look cool
i play runescape cause its easier 2 access and overall its better
the ONLY ONLY ONLY bad thing about runescape is the gfx.
and dont even bring up the little kids.
because the kids actually follow rules, unlike kids on sro who will curse a gm out [if we had some]
runescape you cures, gm mutes you [yeah mutes you bitch]
runescape was made by some dudes in britain in a basement.
and its browser based.
YET YET!!
it still pwns sro in EVERY WAY except gfx, thats all gfx.
give sro rs gfx +jm management and you will have the WORST FREE MMO EVER!!
give rs sro gfx + jagex management and RS WILL BE THE BEST MMO HANDS DOWN.
besides you cant compare a browser game 2 a full game.
the ONLY true thing i dont like about runescape, is the overuse of the word noob, thats all.
) and ORIGIONALY runescape was made as a highschool/college project by andrew gower (british) and I guess it snowballed from there 
if rs had the graphics of sro it would mop the floor with it, and noy only sro but other top mmorpgs our there.
