Anyone who reads this post should go to www.runescape.com to at least try the game. Its free so there are no burdens. Even though the graphics arent superb, the game itself is pretty fun. It's sort of like Dark Ages of Camelot. The items are abundant, especially the armor. Also, if this game happens to tickle your fancy, you should pay 5 bucks a month for members version with more quests and stuff. Plus, theres gonna be a huge graphics and interface update soon which will make the game even more fun.

 

For those of you who try RS, post here with reactions or disses, lol.

 

BTW, ive been playing for 2 years, and have "wasted" hundreds of hours on it

Aww another MMORPG? (Massive-Multiplayer-Online-Role-Playing-Game)I really don't fancy the little elves and special spells those games offer.

lol dont diss my elvesanyways its still a funzo game and very addicting

Ok...runescape is a...strange...thing in my schoolEvery Mon., Wed. and Friday, I goto the school computer lab (which is only open on those days of the week) and there they let you do whatever you want. Play games, research stuff. Now, our school has some of the biggest, uglyiest, nerdiest people around. I'm seriously sick of looking at them and I'm glad I'm out of school. Every, single one of them plays runescape.I once played runescape, but quit it when I discovered that:1)It's fairly boring2)It's nearly impossible for wizards to get any spells3)The quests take forever to complete4)No one roleplaysWhen I play MMOGs, I roleplay. I act as my character would act. The only time I don't do this is around friends. In runescape, the only goal for the people there is to seem to get their combat lvl up and buy neat stuff.I attempted to act like the wizard I played, but it was nearly impossible with the atmosphere the players were creating.

I totally agree with UnwantedHero on his points. I have been playing RS for close to 2 yrs now, but I stopped playing it on a regular basis a few months ago because I did all the quests and got my full rune armour and all that other stuff. So there's basically nothing more to do in the game. Plus, the server lags when it gets close to 1000 people. It's a good game when you first start playing it, but when you do everything that you can do in the game, it becomes boring.I agree that the creator needs to make the characters have some sort of role than just being good at every skill. I played RS before I got into FA, and when I started playing FA, that's when I started not to play RS cuz FA was better. If the creators make some drastic changes on how the characters work on the game and some other things, than maybe I'll play the game again. But for beginners and intermediate players, the game is pretty interesting.

just wait till the new updatehope that fixes all your guys gripes loli agree its getting boring but it is still one of my favorite games

and what is this update going to do to change these problems?

theres gonna be new quests, a new interface, and combined attacking with experience share like in d2

unless you can get a fully automatic assualt rifle count me out...

everyone at my school was obsessed with it.... then they realized, the game was trash. so they stopped. im proud of them

hey Runescape isnt trashIts quality entertainment, a free addiction

how bout a cannon that shoots 1 shot a second?

the game would be more fun if they made the characters you choose more useful. Like if you chose being a wizard, they should give you a big advantage for being a wizard and make that character very useful. More roleplaying characters is what the game needs so you have to be dependent on other players and not be the independent, all-skillful character that everyone is on that game right now.

I agree with unwanted on this...Games for me are an escape. When I play, I want to be immersed in the atmosphere of the game. I want to think for just a little bit im not really just sitting at my desk playing games waiting around for some new complication in my life.That said... it's difficult to escape into a game in which the atmosphere is such that all people want to do is finish that quest so i can get this skill or buy this item or cast that spell to kill more stuff, so i can get more experience for more skills and get more items to kill more monsters to get more stuff. These people don't know they're playing a game, its just some meaningless item grab which in the end just gets boring. I mean come on... i dont believe Gandalf was concerned with killing orcs so he could gain experience for that new lightning attack, or finiding the best armor in all of middle earth.Just my opinion.That said... I am weary and shall depart for sleep. Good night.

As My cousin stated above.... Runescape needs interdependance. Without it, it's only a faint dream of it's true potential. However to implement this, RS needs more than an update. These changes call for a MASSIVE OVERHAUL of the ENTIRE GAME. A rebirth........ cancel everybody's character and make them start over(maybe). And make them choose a role.... Once they choose a role.... make it difficult for them to level up in the other departments. Like... If your an Archer.... make it a LITTLE hard for them to level up in combat.... but make it VERY hard for them to become good smithers. Get the idea?WARRIOR - You excell in combat obviously. You kill characters and other players for profit. You exchange services with Cooks and Smithers. Offer protection in exchange for armour or cash. Team with Archers and Wizards to kill people and all that good stuff.MINER/SMITHER - YOU MAKE A LAWTA MAWNAY! Reel and Deal. Make armour, weapons, etc. Sell them and trade them for the services of wizards or warriors.WIZARD - The area that I think needs the most improvement. These guys need more spells that do different things. I'm sick of seeing purple blobs of goop shoot across the screen. Wizards should be able to act similar to archers, but with less combat abilities. However, in return they get the luxury of nicer things... like the ability to teleport, etc. RANGER/ARCHER - A Warrior with better long range abilities, but poor short range ability. Everyone HATES Archers in RS.... because they "Steal" kills. It wouldnt be like this if the Archers faced more of a risk. With the lower ability at close range, ranging would be improved.COOKS - YES! COOKS! THEY PLAY A ROLE! It's lame that every friggon guy in a bronze helmet can cook for himself. Cooks would play a big role. And there WOULD be people willing to play the role, I'm sure of it. If there was ever a low amount of cooks, then like a small amount of people would get MAJOR business... and I'm sure that would deter some people from staying with warrior and miner roles.Runescape sucks now. It needs an "economy" of sorts. But it aint happening any time soon.
