I used to play WoW. But as I hit lvl60, i was like, wtf am I doing, this costs me $180 dollars a year to play, and even then, it's extremely boring at times. And so, I bought G.R.A.W and went on a killing spree...
Runescape is so underrated. The graphics are horrible, yes, but the gameplay is pretty good. There's loads of missions and you can play it anywhere (without needing to download patches or anything). Look at the Blizzard Downloader for WoW. Works great, doesn't it? [ends sarcasm here]
I can afford WoW just as well as the next person, I just don't wanna play. [Okay, I do, but I can't get the patches]. At least you don't spend to download 3GB of stuff to get started on Runescape.
Plus, its cheaper. Runescape is only $5 USD per month.
