Old School Runescape vs World of Warcraft
Old School Runescape
Old School Runescape is the very first old-school version of Runescape, one of the largest and earliest 2.5D free-to-play MMORPG. For sentimental or nostalgic's sake, players can once again dive into the wonderful and expansive world of Gielinor. For players who have played Runescape back when it was "cool" before, they might already know about the funny quests that they get to enjoy, the extensive character customization and progression system, the robust and frankly thriving auction/trading system, the old-school crafting, fun group dungeons and the crazy ton of events and other content to keep you engaged for months on end. Oh and of course, the lose everything you are carrying if you die and couldn't make it back to your corpse in time before other players stumble on it and loot it.The hardcore players of Runescape had to pressure Jagex to bring back the Old School Runescape once the game franchise has evolved so much to cater to the younger generation of players and in some way, we are glad they did. This game is a testament to how far Runescape as a franchise has come and not to mention, it's truly one of the best classic MMORPGs of all time.
World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the world's most popular and renowned fantasy MMORPGs that offer a well-crafted lore of astounding depth, a wide class selection along with fun character progression and customization, an engaging gameplay as well as a ton of collectibles, be it mounts or pets, for you to... well, collect! Of course, if you really want to get into the game, there are also plenty more features for you to discover, including Pokemon-like pet battles, very competitive PvP, teamwork-focused PvE... you can even develop your own fortress and recruit troops to defend it.Due to its massiveness, it may be rather intimidating for a newcomer to learn the game, but once you've gotten down the fundamentals (especially the basics of playing the class of your choice), the game will draw you into its complex yet intriguing world of orcs, undead, elves, dragons and demons and you'll quickly realize what a gem of an MMORPG you've stumbled into. After all, there's a reason why this game still has millions of active players despite being more than a decade old!
World of Warcraft is a subscription-based MMO, but you can try the game for free for a month. If you're good enough, you can earn enough in-game gold to purchase additional subscription time too.
