Hang yuor head in shame!;)


nah but seriously, it never did anything for me. Id recommend Guild Wars to you. A one off payment of £20, no monthly fees and much more depth.

Anyone would think I worked for NCSoft...I prefer WoW (if i had to choose - im not a fan of either) but GW is better if you are on a budget.

RuneScape is/was my first MMORPG, so I will always remember it fondly. Unfortunately, due to bad grades, I'm banned until further notice from everything, so I can't play. I probably won't play until I play/beat some other, mainsteam PC games that I've been craving for, such as C&C3, Bioshock, and Company of Heroes.

i played runescape many years ago when i was still a little nooblet, it was fun, entertaining and addictive, but eventually i outgrew it and moved on to "better" games, though i'll give credit to jagex for keeping their consumers happy with updates oh so often, runescape just seems more oriented for a younger audience now a days....

think of runescape as a steping stone for little kids who will enter the greater mmo's in the future

I played runescape for a short time, I had dial-up and a weak computer so I gave it a shot. It was okay, never got really into it though.

The only Phantasy Stars that I want to play are the oldschool ones!

I suppose I can admit I DID play it for a bit when I was little...I think I reached the 60s. Of course, I outgrew it, mainly because I was then introduced to the Elder Scrolls and CS universes :D

If I had to rate it, I think it would be like 7, just for terrible graphics. But I enjoyed the customer service that Jagex had, kudos to them.

I played for a little over two years. I don't play anymore now, not because I've decisively "quit" but because I don't have any interest in playing it anymore. Who knows... someday I might get back into it again. But not now.

Some of my classmates used to play it alot, but they were all teenagers about 16 years old. And there not even geeks or nerdy either, there mostly chavs and *ard-nuts*

Last sort of people i would have expected to be playing the game.

those who want a free MMO, go check out MYTHOS
its by the people who made Hellgate London, but its going to be a free Diablo-esque game, with instanciated dungeons, etc. Its a blast to play, and when its released, it will hopefully save people from n00bifying themselves by playing RS. Its got great graphics, solid gameplay, and its freaking free.

www.mythos.com

its currently in BETA right now, but i'm sure you can get a key if you try hard enough ;)

Runescape? Whoa, I didn't even know that was still around...

Played it a few years ago, got really into it for a while, and then it kinda... got boring. It was a great game to start with, but got kinda repetitive after a while. Good memories from that game though, I'm glad to hear some people still play it :)

I played up to lvl 109 and I stopped. I still log in every few months to see whats new though. It's not a bad game. I think if it had better graphics and more interesting combat it could go a long ways. Right now it's pretty much grind fest.

Also, PSOBB is STILL good, assuming you can find people who want to play it through as a team. Only reason I quit.

Playing Runescape is like wasting your life with WoW, only worse, because Runescape sucks. Please make the realization that what you are playing is stupid, pointless, low quality and no fun, and go save your time (and money, if you're a member) playing a real game, or, even better, venturing outside.

Thank you for agreeing. I could have put the words I said above into much, much harsher words, but for the sake of being nice, I didn't. To anyone who plays Runescape, however, I kindly request that you end your campaign of boringness and stupidity now and at least play something worth playing.

Played RuneScape for 7 years. It was my first step into the world of MMO's. I wouldn't say it's a bad game. It's just not for everyone.

MidnightSnackAttack
12-24-2007, 12:59 AM
There is more productive ways of wasting your time. If your going to play an MMO, just get WoW. It sounds crazy but its better than playing rune scape. Plus the game is like 10$ and the expansion is like.. 20$?.. and the first month is free so... Im just glad no one has mentioned the fact that they play that Adventure Quest? or what ever. People pay for that game, rofl.

01-08-2008, 04:30 PM
ahh Runescape...
A combat system that consists of you right clicking and waiting for 5 minutes for the monster/cow to die.
A community filled with four year olds who ask every female character to be their GF
A magic system so terrible you have to have a level 60+ to have enough money to even buy runes

I used to play it. Back in the sixth grade. Before I was introduced to... other games. That didn't suck. Sorry to bash your game, buddy. But it'll be better this way. Trust me.

i had alot of friends, by which i mean people who i knew, who played on RuneScape. These people put me off for good. not that im going to insult them on here where they can't see it. that would be rude. lets just say limiting the chances of me having contact with they away from school was good so people didn't think i was a freak as well. Not that im calling them freaks, but basically i never fancied RuneScape because of them. And my PS2, that kept me busy.
oh well

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
second part os so wrong on non-member you can play til lvl 126

i still play it and i'm not obsessed i go outside alot and play baseball(which is my favorite sport ever)

they did take alot of the fun out of the game wen they got rid of pking(player killing) for of all things bounty hunter which is the same thing but theres a certain area to do it in and they tell u who to fight. you can still choose just after u kill someone who isn't your target you have to wait 3 min(which is the stupidest thing i've ever heard of.

all in all i say its ok to play it ppl say its addicting and go to wow which is extremely addicting(yes rs is addicting i don't dissagree with that) even more so than runescape

rs is fun and (for the most part) still is i say if u want to go ahead and play it

I played it for a while. It was a good way to hang out with a good friend of mine who moved away. Got really boring fast though. My little bro still plays it every once in a while. But he says he doesn't like it as much since they took away the wilderness. Now there is some retarded bounty hunter thing. I'm just glad I quit playing before they totally ruined everything for me.

I played runescape for a very little while, everyone my age was totally into it. Or at least the nerds were. And I never got into it. So while everyone else played runescape I played Half-life, Never winter Nights, Icewind dale, Dungeon keeper, Bloodrayne, and other bloody and better (Graphically, storyline, everything basically) games.

But its not like my biggest problem with the game is the shitty graphics or the crappy storyline. Oh, well...maybe it is. XD Honestly, I'd really rather play on my supernintendo then on Runescape.

Someone told me that they had updated them and made them look way better, I just looked at them and...well...It looks just as crappy. Blocky, and you can't even see the peoples faces and the hair is terrible. Whats the difference between the girls and the boys? Barely nothing.

If you really want to play a free MMO try Rappelz. But let Runescape die.

Runescape is a lot like "my first MMO". It's 1/3 the price of things like WoW or Eve, it's incredably simple, and it runs in a browser. The perfect game to use as a stepping stone to greater things.

Lol I first played the game as a Senior in high school...
I was a PAL and one of my kids was in--I think--the 3rd grade and he played. I started playing so I had something to talk to him about.
It's like a kid's Everquest. I laugh when I hear my little brother talk about it now.

I was playing Everquest when a friend of mine ranted how " awesome " runescape was. After being annoyed enough by him, I went ahead & checked it out. All I can say is I wanted to gauge his eyes out since I was so insulted by that piece of crap. Last year, I found out my future brother in law played runescape as well. He was only 11 at the time so I didn't scold him. Instead, I pointed him to Maple Story. Yeah, they may be better games out there than MS but he's 11. Maple Story is a great free to play MMO for someone his age. Needless to say, I've been the most awesome big bro ever since =P. He's in the Runescape sucks ass band wagon now.

runescape is the biggist insult to gaming ever and anyone who plays it deserves to burn and scrificed to purify their sins

Hang yuor head in shame!;)


nah but seriously, it never did anything for me. Id recommend Guild Wars to you. A one off payment of £20, no monthly fees and much more depth.

Anyone would think I worked for NCSoft...I prefer WoW (if i had to choose - im not a fan of either) but GW is better if you are on a budget.

All true. Runescape isn't very good, unless you aren't allowed to purchase games from your local game stores or online. But if you are able to purchase games locally or online, Guildwars is great. It's one of the very few games that you buy in a store and don't pay any monthly fees for.
As for WoW... no thanks. You'd get addicted and would pay too much for the monthly subscription.

well as for me i still play i know wat your thinking what a geek but its not addicting for me i just play every once in a while but i'm really into fantasy baseball i'm in a clan and am lvl 95

also jagex is planning on releasing a major graphical update in a month or two i'm awaiting it with eager arms if its not good o well i won't go through the phase where i play alot for like 4 months then get board and just do something else but for the most part i like runescape its not bad but never get me around wow or any game like that because i'd get addicted to it like ants to that ice cream i accidentally left out

i played wow once didn't stop playing for about 5 hours and got about nowhere

Runescape is a game for 3 year olds to show how good they are by learning the word n00b and then calling everyone that is a higher level than them a n00b until an admin bans them. It's a game for boringness.

I find it quite interesting how far some people *cough* GideonB *cough* can go bashing a game.

It's a freaking piece of code that runs on your computer, why get so emotional about it?

You claim how it is a game for 3rd graders, yet in your reply you show no sign that you are past the age of 10 with your silly remarks. I hope you realize how childish and contradictory your statements are. You diss the community, but I dare you to go to any of the big rs forums... (www.runescapecommunity.com, http://forum.tip.it/) and look at their real life pics thread. You might be suprised at all the "3 year olds" you will see...

Gaming. It's a way to pass time. Excape from the realism if you will. How the hell did we get so far as to we are bashing people for their choices when it comes to gaming? That's like if in a kindergarten, a kid shouted "RED MATCHBOXES ARE FOR LOSERS! GET A LIFE, YOU NERDASS, RED MATCHBOXES SUCK!!

Runescape was and is a great game for starters of the MMO genre. It might not be for its graphics, sure they suck, everyone knows that. It's the fact that you can virtually play it anywhere with an internet connection, doesn't matter what kind of pc you have. There is no download, which makes it easy to play on restricted computers like in libraries, or on pc's other that your own.

I admit that I played it, but I've moved on.

Let's face it, I think a lot of us would not be here if it weren't for Runescape.

PS.: Oh, by the way, did you know that you have to be 13 and up to register on www.runescape.com? Now um, in your profile GideonB you write that you're 12. You aren't even eligible to play it yet dude. Nice going there, mate. :o

Well, thank you, Abelmisi, for that piece of actual expression of intellect.

Jesus, I still kinda like this game. It was a great starter game and I had some wicked fun times in it with my friends. I mean, I haven't played it recently, but...eh. I like it.

I play runescape every once in a while just as something to keep me busy while doing something else (e.g letting something load, game pacthes). It's not total crap for all of you ignorant people, it's probaably the best web-page based mmo and it I like it.
For some reason I find it more fun then WoW.My opinion!

Uhhh...I found out today that runescape has more users than wow.
Also it got visual updates, and it looks awesome (for a webbased game). If you guys want good graphics, there are plenty of other mmo's that have better graphics than wow.

Stevo
07-05-2008, 11:14 PM
Yeah i just checked out the new graphics. The graphic update appears to be only a beta right now, and is only accessible to members. But it does look alot nicer on full screen and the UI is nice too. They have really done alot of work on the site and everything and i must say that even with the mistakes they have made, i must give them props for this.

More users then wow? are they counting active accounts or just the total number of accounts? because i'm sure that there are plenty of accounts that haven't been logged into for years. That statistic can't be right.

I wasted 3 or 4 years of my life on that game...Wow, I was an idiot. The game is actually fun for the first few days of playing it, then you kinda just get bored of it. I became a member, which was actually really kinda fun for a long time. Then I realized...Wow, I'm not doing anything productive at all, which is basically true for all video games, though. -.-
I actually think (kill me) that Runescape updates too much. Every week its something new, you can't keep up with it all.

DaDillsta

Yeah but I'm pretty sure Runescape is older than WoW so if it did have more users thats probably why. But I actually started playing it again today for some reason and I think I might play it for a little while every day again. If you need steel armor just have someone make it, its not hard to make really.

Runescape is ridiculously old, it had Runescape Classic in 2001. I played for almost a year, and it was great for a while. The quests were fun, the big monster raids were great to do with friends, it was a great presentation. No comparison to games like Eve, WoW, or AoC, but more of a "baby's first MMO" kind of thing. Ehh, I gave them around $60 and I don't regret it at all.

Vomits in Disgust upon hearing RuneScape

I was going to tell the guy who plays runescape to get a life (ok, no I wasn't) but you guys take the cake! (You know the one that isn't a lie? You know that one that jimmy ate and that was how we found out he was allergic to chocolate... Yeah, that one! Ahh good times, remember how jimmy's face got so fricken huge after he ate it... *sigh*)

I got so caught up in my sarcastic cake comment that I forgot to type what I was going to originally type (Please mods just let this be a seperate post, the hummilation of me just isn't the same if it is combined into an -EDIT-):

I played rune scape since the practical beginning, as in when they only had like 10 servers, and although there was a time of 1 server, but that isn't entirely practical...

So I played for six years then a guy ruined the fun by giving my 500K GP out of nowhere... I enjoyed it for a week then got tired of the game....

I never really enjoyed it enough to play it like it was WoW, but I did play it for 6 years...

My mining as at level 75 too!

Ah well...
