WoW vs. GunZ

Is WoW really better then GunZ? Let's look at things objectively and find out!

-

Playerbase -

WoW: 8million+ paying subscribers worldwide, and growing.
vs.
GunZ: Roughly 20,000-30,000 players worldwide, maybe 10,000 who've paid

Character Creation -

WoW: 10 Different Playable Races, 9 Different Classes, 20+ Ways to customize each races/genders hair, haircolor, skin color, features, etc.
vs.
GunZ: Choose either male or female, and choose one of four hairstyles, and one of four faces.

Character Customization -

WoW: 100's and 100's of unique weapons and armors for each level and class, each possessing it's own unique look. Variety of different builds/specializations for each class which can be changed to fit the role you want, over 8 professions to choose from.
vs.
GunZ: Currently less then 10 armor sets to customize your appearance. If you aren't wearing one of two armor sets, you're character is gimped. Two weapons to choose from(SG or Rev), if you aren't using one of those, your character is gimped.

World -

WoW: Explore three different continents, each with multitudes of vast cities, landscapes, zones, monsters, NPCs, dungeons. Constantly changing landscape so you aren't stuck with the same old places all day. A world so big you could spend 8+ hours on a single continent exploring and you couldn't even see half of what there is to experience.
vs.
GunZ: 10-15 Maps, with 80% of the maps being places nobody even plays. Each map is generic and bland, and takes less then 5 minutes on each to see all there is to see.

Community -

WoW: 50% Jackasses, 50% Non-Jackasses.
vs.
GunZ: 95% Jackasses, 5% Non-Jackasses.

WoW: Easy to find people to have fun with. Many higher levels are gladly willing to help you out, and experienced players will usually not have a problem with helping you out. Forums are generally very helpful and free of rampant flaming, and it's not hard to find answers to a problem or advice.
vs.
GunZ: Rampant hackers, swappers, and worst of all, Europeans. New players seeking help are generally flamed and critisized, community in general is very elitist and isolates those not a member/supporter of a certain fad or clan. Non-pros are looked upon with much hatred, and everyone in the pro sector hates each other. Forum moderators are biased and retarded, and the community makes it completely impossible to have any sort of reasonable discussion without chants of "OMG SERIOUS BUSINESS"

Age -

WoW: Most players are 18-21, with some being younger and some being older at about an equal ratio.
vs.
GunZ: Most players are 14, give or take a year or so. A very small handful are older, and an uncomfortable mass are younger.

I can't go on any longer, this is too painful.

If it is too painful then stop caring about GunZ, do not even think about it anymore, seriously.

Well, WoW was developed by a company with money. Gunz was developed in a rush.

...Are people trying to say GunZ is better than WoW?

Then they deserve to be shot in the foot. Then shot in the face for good measure.

I never played WoW, but I'm assuming a game with a multi-million playerbase is just a tad better than a game with about a 30K playerbase. Ijji GunZ gets about 8K on the busy hours (3 PM - 10 PM) and on weekends.

And I'm quite sure the company didn't have very much money before "Diablo" was made. :P

WoW community is way better. They're much more helpfull then the gunz community. They wont give you lame answers like alt+f4 to warp or w/e. Forums arent spam and useless crap like on gunz forums, higher levels are willing to help lower levels, everyone is a friend on WoW basically well atleast in my perspective. Im having much more fun on WoW then i ever did on gunz.

Of course WoW is better than GunZ.. WoW has a lot more funding, as opposed to GunZ (if it has any funding at all) Anyway are you on the alliance or the horde? Also what class you is? I was thinking of getting WoW again, probably not though

Also to add to the 'corruption' in gzf, have you seen how many flames KB can make? He never gets infracted for his flames, ever.. because the mods like him.

Eh.

WoW is addicting, but one thing I love about GunZ is the Gameplay. Where'd you stock that in, eh? You didn't. I'd rather fly around in a bad-textured town then click on some weird looking skelleton only to get raped by a rat behind me.
