Nah, I don't think it's really worth it to start over. I still play RuneScape on occasion, but it gets boring after awhile. Besides, if you let it, RuneScape can be a real life-stealer. It will take all your time if you're not careful.
Maple is better, I stopped playing that too though, all my friends became annoying(I no them in real life too) and they began to become a bother online as well, so I stopped playing. Plus all the assasins are annoying now, they take all the kills!
i didnt like either of them, maplestory took like 20 million years to get strong and so did runescape and WoW (unless you had a 70 buffing your other chars) overall even tho about 2 mil people play wow, i think they all suck.
