Mmm... I've never played Runescape, but I have played Maple Story before. I didn't get very far, though, because it just didn't seem to be my kind of game. It plays like a side-scroller, the combat is weird, and although I do like cutesy graphics to an extent, the graphics were strange also... everything looked like some sort of pixel doll.
The main goal of it seemed to be the same as other online RPGs, to level up, get stronger, and beat bigger monsters... while also buying accessories and stuff to make your character look cool. I think I remember it not taking up too much space on my hard drive, either. But, hopefully someone who played it (or still plays it) and enjoyed the game can tell you about it too! 
@Barako, we complement each other.
 I've never played Maple Story, but I have played Runescape. Anyway, the point of Runescape is to develop your combat skills, get assortments of armor, level up, get more cash, and get more possessions. Of course there's a number of ways that you can go about doing this--killing, selling expensive things etc. There's also a number of roles you could play in the society--sell feathers, blacksmith, something of the sort. The game does get boring after a while though--once you've had enough levels and explored a number of its features. Then you'd have to pay to get more features...or you could, (like me) just quit the game. 
I think Maplestory is more fun. I have tried both MapleStory and RuneScape before and I stuck with MapleStory.
MapleStory's graphics are more detailed, but it is very hard to level up when you reach a certian level. Now I don't play MapleStory so much but I occasionally run MapleStory and play it when I'm bored.
MS has better graphics, but thats all I know.
Runescape is no-download, you can play from any computer. You can't run out of things to do, Arbitary was probably f2p and picky. In one way, it's completable, you can get 99 in a skill but you can still get much more xp, and higher up on the highscores. But in another way, it's updated almost weekly, so it takes years of fun to finish it, and that doesn't stay like that for long.
Ive never played maple story but from you guys have said it sounds good, going to check it out after i finish this! anyway, runescape is a pretty good game! well as good as a no download, in browser java game is going to get. Its pretty quick, runs on virtually any computer and heaps of things to do.
its f2p (free to play) features are vast and you could spend ages going through the quests (minigames). and once your bored with that, pay a few dollars a month and open yourself up to hundreds of other games and things to do! a good choice!
Maple Story has pretty much better everything.
Better Graphics (Runescape's looks like some 6-year olds drawings) Better Skills (Tree Cutting, Mining, etc. are idiotic skills) Better Movement (Runescape uses the mouse. ick) Better Quests (Runescape ones are WAY too confusing) Better Tutorial (Runescapes tutorial wasted 30 minutes of your time) Better Damage (Woot. 5 damage at level 30) Better Sounds (Runescape has sound?) Better World (You are way too easily confused with Runescape's world) But... More Hackers Less Variety so... which sounds better? MapleStory has 8 pros over Runescape, and only 2 Vice Versa.

Graphics - Improving all the time. Skills - Yeah, they are crap. Look at melee, mage, fishing, construction. Movement - True, but for the world it is, it's enough. Quests - Theres about 115 quests, and no need to do them. Tutorial - So? Damage - A level 30 can hit 5 in RS too. Sounds - Duh. World - Yeah, it's huge, how is that a bad thing? You need to do quests to get to about a fifth of it. There's noobs and hackers, easily ignored. Weekly updates.
I would probably go with MapleStory, but in my experience they both get pretty darn boring pretty darn quick.
Most MMO's end up with faaaarrrrr!!!!! too much repititon with little mix up. Not sure on how RuneScape has progressed over the last year and a half or so though. However, there both worth a play, but I doubt you'll get that hooked or play time out of them, but surprisingly enough, alot of people do.....
In my opinion, both of these games are a big waste of valuable time, especially runescape, and i just cannot believe i wasted my time on memerbship and leveling to 53, but i m glad i quit it December 2003.
But i would go with MapleStory, mainly for the reasons OmegasGiev just stated, and also because Runescape is an utter ******** game. Latest Entries
Maplestory or Runescape?
I'm A Little Lost: MapleStory Or RuneScape ? I'm a Runescape 4 yr veteran, and a Maplestory 3 yr veteran, and to be honest... Runescape is better. With it's new updates and graphics, it completly wipes the floor in ALL ways with maplestory. Runescape: New HD mode, more variety of equipment, free to play (Members is expansion), more skills, you feel better when you level, quests are a must-do, and are really fun, Runescape has a point (to help everyone in Glienor and become a LEGEND (literally)), it's 3D!, and a good community, and hackers and scammers are quickly dealt with. Maplestory: 2d (blech!), Pixel men! Ew!, characters look like a mr. Potato head (I'm not joking...), quests are SO out of the way and give crud EXP, horrible equipment variety, eternal grind-fest to literally no end, you spend a day getting a level at levels 35 (which is REALLY early into the game), and up to 3 days at level 60+ if you gave a life. Horrible scamming community. If your rich, you either are a scammer or go to A LOAD of "drop parties" (google: Maplestory Drop Party). Runescape: 9/10 Maplestory: 3/10 (5/10 if your rich, so it isn't as brutifully boring) -reply by John Magicpriest
WHY RUNESCAPE IS BETTER THAN MAPLESTORY!!!
I'm A Little Lost: MapleStory Or RuneScape ? Runescape is better for 2 main reasons. I could be a mage, archer, and then melee but in maplestory I have to chooose what I want to be and then can never go back and be something else. Also when you get bored of training there are plenty of other skills to train like woodcutting, mining, smithing, cooking, fishing and other things. But in maplestory there is nothing to do but train and do quests, there is nothing you can do to just chill while still leveling up so its not too boring. -reply by GUEST
Maplestory or Runescape!
I'm A Little Lost: MapleStory Or RuneScape ? iGuest, Nicely put. Expecially the ending. In my opinion I think that Runescape is better... Over the 3 years that I have played Maplestory I have wasted over 800 dollars on NX... Where as 3 years of Runescape Membership won't cost anywhere near that price. Think about it. Runescape may have bad graphics... But keep in mind that it's a browser game and not downloaded. If Runescape was downloaded it would surpass Maplestory graphics. Just think... -reply by RsorMs

Maplestory
I'm A Little Lost: MapleStory Or RuneScape ? Id go with maplestory. I played runescape and its 2 confusing and kinda boring. Maplestory has a lotmore players and is overall much better than runescape. Ithas 1 billion players whereas runescape, you eventually have to pay to play -reply by ipwnu
