Believe it or not, but I think runescape is probably one of the first major mmorpgs during back when internet was around. But during back those days of dial-up and AOL, there are other mmorpgs out there that were popular such as: Everquest and Meridian: 59 by 3DO Games. But my point is that out of all the mmorpgs out there right now, what makes runescape a good game I mean seriously.. look at it's graphics, you don't even have to install it and you can run it from the Internet browser. I've been playing runescape since 2001 and played until now on and off because I know that runescape gets boring a while. It doesn't even have a so-called "Auction house or AFK Stores" that you see in other MMORPGs you see right now.

Good and popular are too different things. Runescape is popular because it's accessible, free, and used to be a good time-waster when it came out. I won't even touch Runescape basic it's practically the "slums" of the internet. Possibly the least intelligent game on the internet. I don't believe Runescape is a game worth anyone's time.

Runescape is Underrated i think. I'ld rate is a 7.5, I play Runescape and don't plan on stoping for a while, and i dont really care what other people think, they have their opinions, i have mine.

I think it's a good game because it's easy to get into and understand, but it still has somthings that make you think. Some of the quests are preaty hard and require you to actually use your brian.

Yea, the graphics suck...come up with a different complaint. Almost everyone that hates it say the graphics suck......and...thats it, thats all they say. Get over it, and don't complain about it, if you like it, great....if you dont, great. No one is making you play it, so don't complain.

Why is Runescape Good? - Easy to get into, not as many people make fun of you for levels, lots of veriety, Tons of items.

Why is Runescape Bad? - skills can get very boring, graphics aint great, people that are noobsreally are COMPLETE noobs (there is no inbetween)

And thats what i have to say, go ahead, Flame me for liking the game.

It brought nothing to the table except giving kids something to do in class. EverQuest was truly the first great MMO bringing the taditional 2D environments into full 3D making it the most immersive MMO of it's time. Runescape is the ultimate fail.

Don't compare Runescape to EverQuest and Ultima Online. RS has never been good compared to them.

i don't think you were using your brain when you typed this

I think it's a good game because it's easy to get into and understand, but it still has somthings that make you think. Some of the quests are preaty hard and require you to actually use your brian.

+2 with the nothing statement.
