    I like both BUT Guild Wars has more just more gameplay. Dungeon Runners feels small to me in comparison.

    Guild Wars, don't me wrong Dungeon Runners is a pretty good game but it just can't compete with the game play and polish GW has.

    Having played both games, i am voting for Guild Wars, primarily for content.

    Not that D.R. was bad, Guild Wars just felt like there was always more to do.

    Tough call indeed! I like GW and DR...I have been playing DR more lately but I honestly can't say its a better game..Although DR has its charm, GW has more players, better PvP and more to do.

    These games are made by the same company. (NCsoft) Their main game is Guild Wars (and Lineage 2). Dungeon Runners is one of their side games that is why it is free and GW is not. So these games are hard to compare. DR is fun game to play for a few hours.
    It is aslo good for people do not have a lot of time on their hands and want a mmo that is not too time consuming. GW is a mmo that takes more time. But has a lot more things to do. So in my opinion these are quite differen't. So I cannot vote.

    Considering that they are made by the same company, and Dungeon Runner's staff was apparently cut, on top of relatively under-populated servers, I am beginning to question Dungeon Runner's longevity.

    One of the most likely causes that I can personally see relating to the first problem is the immanent fact that Guild Wars 2 is in production. Although i don't know how major companies decide to split their teams, I can imagine that a bulk of NCsoft's funds and focus are going toward producing a fantastic follow up to their biggest money maker (they are a business after all)

    I agree NCsoft is probably putting most of it's funds and focus on Guild Wars 2. It's also probably why they decided to close Tabula Rasa now instead if later... them fund will probably go to Guild Wars 2.

    There may be less to do on Dungeon Runners but I still prefer it. I have fun just drinking a few beers and playing with friends. It pokes fun at serious games which is what I like:p.

    you have to fix the MMORPG Showdown 3 page, its currently showing no link to the page of the overview of perfect world vs silkroad online, and its also showing no link for the forum discussion of guild wars vs dungeon runners.

    ALMOST there, just that the Perfect world vs. Silkroad online link and the Forum Discussion on the same sentence both lead to the forum discussion, and the Perfect World vs. Silkroad online link should link to this page

    Guild Wars is a lot of hype. I stopped caring about it when the devs announced Guild Wars 2.

    This one is closer in the forum than the Review Directory. Looks like Guild Wars will win again.
