What Are Your Opinions Of RuneScape?

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows what RuneScape is. What your opinions of it? I think that it's insanely fun, but you shouldn't get addicted to it. It's fun to play during the holidays, and the Machinima are quite amusing. The music is quite catchy, and the game has an overall nostalgia factor. In other words, I like it, but if you get addicted to it, and you're caught talking about it in public, then your reputation's screwed.

One downside of RuneScape that bugs me is that if your internet connection wasn't the best, the game sucked up most of your computers processing power, and your computer will lag like all hell when your done playing. Well, it isn't too bad now that I think about it.

No response? Hmm.... :o

I'm not gonna lie, I use to play RS when i was a kid i use to love the game its the only MMO i've played...

But when they got rid of the wildy PvP and added the money limit system thing the game sucked and i dropped all my stuff and quit.

I remember going on strike spammng R.I.P RS and Bring Wildy back or i'll quit....ahhh good times..

I dislike Runescape because:

1.Movement-It takes forever to get anywhere. No WASD? Point-click is really annoying when you can't hold down the button to keep your character moving.

2. Combat-It's the same thing over and over.

3. Camera angles-Barely adjustable.

4. Graphics-Usually not a big deal, but just because it's Runescape, I'll add this.

5. Plot-There isn't one.

RuneScape is one of those games that you can go on to screw off and have some fun. What do you like about it?

RuneScape is one of those games that you can go on to screw off and have some fun. What do you like about it?

What I like:

1. Interactivity of certain objects-Blending, manipulating one with another, etc.

2. Character development-The various branches you can take your character on.

3. Socializing-Interacting with other players (Most of them are morons, though.)

Those are my likes and dislikes and my opinion (dislike) on Runescape.

I used to play like 5-7 years ago. it was fun when I was addicted to it, but after i quit I was like "ewww what was I playing :?"

Yeah, we can laugh about it now. Are you here to answer my question that I have asked here?

That's what I like about it. I like the graphics, too. They suck, but they have some nostalgia factor to it.

I use to play Runescape, but have since moved on. While Runescape is far from a great game, it does offer some fun and is a good starting point for people getting into the world of MMO's.

used to play it.

game went downhill after they choked off the freedom. trading and the PvsP system getting ruined. it's became a total mess.

I used to play it a ton like I was really good (or at least I played it alot). I quit like 1-2 yrs ago and I log back in everyone now and again. It is very nostalgic for me. That I definitely agree with you on. The people I met I had some great times with, and some of the things I did, i.e the boss fights, God Wars Dungeon, pvping...just chilling with people I met...they were all alot of fun. I'm always on the verge of going back, but I never do. I kind of enjoy having a life outside of a game and I've got enough other stuff going on. Just to put in perspective though how much I played, I had a lvl 129 (120 F2p) with a 1996 total level.

Overall its a fun good game, but not one of the best out there...to me its either a game that really clicks with you and you get into the whole world the quests, the skills, the clanning, the monsters, the leveling, or you play it once on a F2P server and your like...these are terrible graphics, slow gameplay, and theres not a lot going.

Basically while your playing it if your into it, its a ton of fun and it seems like a real good game. When you take a step back...well eh its average. Still games are designed for fun and for a certain type of person Runescape can provide hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands hours of fun.

Never got to play RS, I passed that one up. By the sounds of it I made a good choice not to play it. I tend to get addicted to certain games a lot. liriel_binier

Oh it can definitely be addicted once you get into the world and the people. Thats one reason I really don't plan on picking it back up again for the time being. I remember a time when I was playing it 3-6 hrs a day on the weekdays and 6-8 hrs on the weekend. Compare that to my moderate gaming habits now and you realize what an insane amount of time that really was.

it was good as a kid, then i realized it was a giant timesink, where you were basically doing one thing specifically so you could do another. So I stopped. Adam_the_Nerd

Couldn't agree more. Its essentially just the people and the nostalgia that help it to maintain a slight appeal in my eyes.

I'm not gonna lie, I use to play RS when i was a kid i use to love the game its the only MMO i've played...

But when they got rid of the wildy PvP and added the money limit system thing the game sucked and i dropped all my stuff and quit.

I remember going on strike spammng R.I.P RS and Bring Wildy back or i'll quit....ahhh good times..

-Hoax-

Hmm...they took away wilderness?! That was the only point that i had when i played the game like...holy crap! 8 years ago...im getting old.

Anyway nice avatar, ergo proxy rocks!

I used to play it 4-5 years ago... I loved it at the time, but in retrospect... only about a third of the quests were worthwhile and everything was a huge grind. I did love Castle Wars, though...

Well, I sort of had it ruined for me. I played a few years back, but my "friends" (who I no longer associate with) decided to completely destroy my account while over at my house. I was mad. I never returned to the game.

Loved it. Now it's all messed up, but for me, not even WoW can top the old RuneScape.

Played it from 2005-2009, and I started again a few weeks ago. I think it's pretty good, albeit some of the updates make me upset (I'm looking at you, turmoil).

And hell, if it wasn't for Runescape, my username wouldn't exist today.

My account got suspended for 2 weeks because I threatened to burn babies until they reverted the wildy and money system back. Good times indeed. I also said that Jagex supported seal clubbing and adultery :D.

I played it, i dont know if it was my computer or the server, but it was laggy. I got bored really really fast, the only thing i enjoyed doing was mining

good before the trade limit and theres alot of kids playing it because it's cheap the co-op quests are a nightmare because of that.
