Used to play it for 4 years straight, then I stopped. It's really a high quality free MMORPG, but people destroy its image by informing that the community sucks and is full of religious bigots and a**holes and complaining about PKing. What's your say?

I used to play it when a bunch of my friends started playing but then I stopped and moved onto MapleStory. I considered both of them to be horrible games and a waste of my time that I can never take back.

I got to level 133 I think. It got boring for me like a year ago. It gets a lot of undeserved hate, and it offers a lot if you enjoy grinding. Lots and lots of grinding.

The Game sucks its the biggest regret I have in my life.

Jagex fixes things that are not broken and constantly ruins things. The sea slug quest was the latest in this..

As for the community it IS AWFUL.

I played it in elemantry school with friends. I forgot my account info nor do I care. I only did free play. After that I just trained my skills and did events. also my friend scammed me in our last year of school then we all went to differnt school. I don't know where he is so I can kick hiss ass he took all my money and law runes.

Well doing so would probably make a lot of people unhappy/quit playing, so they probably won't change it back. But you're right, it is a problem that bots have increased a lot.

It's a good entry-level MMO for kids and early teens to try out, but I wouldn't touch it now. I guess Jagex have been trying to make the game better with the wilderness and free trade returning, so I'll give them that at least.

I think it is a great game. Back when my brother used to play it (he stopped a few months ago because mom lost her credit card) he was looking at Q&A thing on its forums and one of the developers said that they were planning on removing the fram rate cap soon. Dont know if that has happened yet.

My bro played it ever sine 2005 (or was it 2004?) and it has changed alot (thankfully), though a few changes still need to be made.

Just quit it recently after not playing it for a looong time. The game is an unbalanced grindfest, and I honestly sympathisize with the people who bot now. They're putting in the exact same skill level required to play the game, they're just not going insane doing it.

MMO's should reward you for overcoming real challenges, not by testing your patience,

ah Runescape. I'd like to apologize to WoW for calling it the worst game ever - I always forget that even for all it's design decisions that I hate, WoW at least has graphics, community, and feels exciting at least sometime. Whereas Runescape... is Runescape

I purposefully try to forget the game even exists :|

I used to play it when I was about 12 but can't even put myself through 5 minutes of it. Kids with no life sit at home all day training skills which require no actual skill and you simply can't compete. There are thousands of cheaters and the economy is broken as raw materials are worth more than finished products due to supply and demand problems. A decent free MMO for those too young or not intelligent enough for other games but I feel sorry for anybody over 15 who plays it.

I don't think it's fair to say it's terrible. It is very good considering it's free. Unfortunately, it was at its best in 2004, and starting with Runescape 2, they only made it worse and worse with time.

I loved that game so much. 110 days playing time, it was fun, there was so much to do, and I found it nice how it was made by a group of friends who wanted to play a game together. They did kind of ruin it after 08 though, I miss the old runescape, I used to make videos and everything. It kinda makes me sad to think of when I did play it, because I played the heck out of it and have quite a few great memories on that game.

Addicting in this reference MEANS FUN.. NOT like a chemical addiction.. I never understood people who said "man I can't stand this game, but I spent over 100 hours playing it!".. Well no one is forcing you.. So we have a few options.. Either you really are enjoying it, some has a gun pointed at your head, or your a masochist.

I liked it when it was nice and Simple, the best armor and weapons were Dragon, then they started adding Armor Sets, and things that IMO broke the simplicity that made it what it was.

The combat and whatnot is boring, but at the same time you can really multi-task with it. :P

The new skills (well new at the time) like Farming were awful, and didn't feel like the other skills. For Farming you had to make compost (which took a while), plant your seed, water the plant, wait for quite a while, check on it, it might die, might not. Where other skills like Mining and smelting were, dig at the rocks with a pickaxe, get Ore, Smelt Ore, and had a success/fail ratio. Farming should have been similar, "you put the seed in the ground, the plant dies" "You put the seed in the ground, you successfuly grew a tomatoe plant" or something like that.

It's not that bad, especially like I said when you can just multi-task and level skills while doing other stuff. Like playing other games :P

im a level 87. the game is good, and i enjoyed it for the time i spent on it. i think it and jegex get a lot of undesirved hate. jagex has improved with bringing back pking and whatnot.
