    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

    It has terrible graphics, aweful gameplay, no real content, no storyline at all and you will be hard pressed to fin anyone over the age of 13. I played up to level 72, I had 73 mining and a bunch of other junk, few rune sets whatever, and I wish I could take every second back that I wasted playing that game. If you think other communities are immature runescape is the worst.

    Edit:

    My characters name was miner mania7, I looked up the highscores for you so I can show you I actually know what I'm talking about.

    I don't agree with paranoidpvp. Every MMO on the market are actually a waste of time. By definition, current MMO are exactly that: A pass time. So i don't know what he expect but if he played that long, it surely wasn't because it was as boring as he claimed.

    The community of "every" game that is free is going to be full of 13 years old free loaders. If you actually get a paying account, not only will it open really interesting content but you'll find out that there's a big jump in the community in general. (and a good one)

    Runescape is a java script, so saying it has horrible graphics is completely moronic: It's as good as it gets for that type of game, on which you can play on a pentium II 500mhz. The reasons why runescape is now the 4th biggest MMO on the market, with over 700k paying subscriber, is that the learning curve of the game is really not arsh and it's taking you by the hand until you are ready to fly by yourself. The skill base system is also really well done and FINALLY, a MMO when you can freaking SOLO and get SOMEWHERE!

    Anyway, it's worth a try since it's free. But keep in mind the "best" stuff are NOT for the free loaders. A well worth 5 bucks a month if you ask me.

    Regards.

    What deserves to be done, deserves to be "well" done...

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Runescape is a great game! It's fun, addcting, easy, and a very good game to spend your free time on. Since the game is Java based, the graphics aren't perfect, but they're still pretty good. Same with sound. It isn't something you would play on the dance floor, but it's not at all as bad as gameboy sound or a choir singing flat. You'll also meet lots of new friends along the way. The only reason that you might not like this game is if you're just a boring, dull guy that hates cartoons and needs a life. And another thing, this game is free!(unless you want to become a member, which only cost $5 dollars a month, which is much cheaper compared to other MMO games) So the answer to your question is YES.

    you should not play i quitted for about 6months now..

    the last time i check runescape it looks so much worse than it used to be..you see botters everywhere... and its really slow...just play some other games

    none

  • cartoonboycartoonboy Member Posts: 11
    I disagree with vuubuu. You only see botts in free to play worlds, and even there you only see them in a few spots. And scammers aren't that common, no one's ever tried to scam me before. Most of the players are real nice. And as for Runescape being slow, it's actually pretty fast. It only lags every once in a while when a new update's been released.

    This game was biggest waste of a year and a half of my life.

    Got to level 98Cb.(98Wc)

    Then I actually realised theres actually OTHER MMO's out there and started playing them.

    Turns out Runescape is God awful compared to these other games.

    Anyways, if your going to go play an MMO, play GW or WoW.

    Reasons to play Runescape:

    1.) You are 12 years old and mommy won't pay for a real mmo.

    2.) You are using an old 200MHz computer from 1998.

    3.) A combination of the above.

    If you don't fit in this list, then there is no reason to play Runecrap.

  • fragmentGirlfragmentGirl Member Posts: 26
     U SHOULD waste ur time on some mmo's but NOT this one. Whoever plays it, after 2 weeks at most they regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I played it and it SUCKED, the only reason i played it more than 2 weeks was because my crush played it, but now i think he is a turd, so i stoped. Dont play it unless that is the only mmo u can aford, but if u want a free mmo i'd go with FLYFF it frekin rocks. lata'

    Why don't you go figure it yourself? You don't have to download it, because it is a brouwser game. Visit www.runescape.com and create your own character for free! Good luck with your adventures!

    Played it for less than a few mins and at an instant i shut the window down. Now normaly i don't care about graphics on games but Runescape takes the cheese and the controls on it doesnt help neither, i guess its ok if youve never played a mmorpg before since you dont know what to expect but if you have then you'll log out before you can say OMG!

    Sorry for being so extra negative about it but no offense to the people who like it... it's a rather useless game, most people who play it are people who havent got the money to buy a mmorpg... :/

  • h4x0rn4bsk1h4x0rn4bsk1 Member Posts: 82

    Do not play this game, because:

    The graphics suck.

    It's in the web browser.

    Is bores you fast.

    Alot of hackig.

    This are the main reasons, but I could write down many more if you like. I wasted pretty much time on this game when I was 11. Many kids of that age play RuneScape, kiddy game.

    Seems like you still fit in this category, hard-name-boy.
  • VesilisVesilis Member UncommonPosts: 21
    If you are looking for something Pvp-wise, from experience I wouldn't reccomend Runescape. Otherwise it is a solid game that can be addicting at times, has graphics you won't try to murder someone for seeing, and (from when I played) had some nice people on it. The problem that I have heard about from my friends who play runescape is that there are so many players. They say it's hard to get killsmaking it hard to level and hard to mine due to higher levels taking all the resources. The battle system gets boring after a small amount of time, and the magic system seems lacking to me. The idea that you can have a god-like character because you can have your magic, attack, and money-getting skills high is downgraded by the fact that in PvP action there isnt much, well, action. It is also downgraded by the fact that you can't get to the all-powerful character because of all the other people on. Great game for a while but not one that I personally could stay addicted to for very long. I say give it a try and get the feel for it, but if it isn't your thing in the beginning it probably won't be for the rest of the game. Good luck.

    Just don't play it. It was fun at first for me but when they added the "3-D" look it actually lagged. I just love the origianl though it was fun. DONT PLAY IT...

    I disagree to play that game, Its bored, stupid, and with poor graphics, so dont play that game, play MAPLESTORY !!!! ^_^

  • AeylasAeylas Member Posts: 3
    Well, don't listen to those negative guys ^^
    I have played runescape form over a year and a half, and i still think it is the best free MMORPG that exists.

    The reasons? Here they come.
     It is a web game, that means that you can play it with your internet explorer or mozilla firefox. You don't need to download it! That is an impressive advantage: you can play it wherever you want! You are going to a friend's house who doesn't know the game: it doesn't matter! you don't have to download it (a waste of time), you just open the browser and that's it!

    Secondly, it is the free game with the most variety of actions. You can do wathever you want, not as other MMORPGs! You can cut trees, make armors, enchant items, make arrows and bows, cut gems, make your own cloth, construct deadly weapons, make your own wizard stuff, cook every kind of food you can imagine and obviously fight with swords, bows, axes, magic, mining pickaxes and enchanted items!

    Third, you can play it with any computer you want (from a prehistoric one to a computer coming from a sci-fi film) and it will be totally lag-free, and not slow! My computer really su***, it seems it was made by the dinosaurs, but i never experienced any kind of lag with the game! it worked well, and quickly!

    Fourth, if you want to enhance the game experience and having access to lots of new skills and a much bigger map, you can become a member for only 5 dollars! That's much less than any other MMORPG monthly fee. I recomend being a member: i was one for like 6 months and i really loved runescape.

    Finally, it is a highly adictive game that won't get you bored with all the quests to do and all the items to find. If you just forget about the graphics, it is an excellent game!!!

    So, i recomend you playing this game. I haven't found a better free game yet, and i played lots: Flyff, Silk Road, Turf Battles... nothing is better than Runescape.

    Just try it and figure it yourself (of course, don't quit after the first day of playing, try playing for over three or four days, and i'm sure you will love it.) go to the site and look at it: www.runescape.com

  • CryptorCryptor Member UncommonPosts: 523
    I can't thikn of any reason why anyone would play it, especially when there is so many free-to-play but pay for premium items games.
  • IAmItIAmIt Member Posts: 1
    1)It's full of 8 year olds

    2)There are more bots and hackers on the free server than there are real players

    3)I still regret that I wasted 2 minutes of my life playing it
  • The_LadyThe_Lady Member Posts: 5

    If you like lots of quests, items and skills you should play it, if you like good communities you shouldn't.

  • therock3000therock3000 Member UncommonPosts: 48

    Yes, you are right.  Maybe you should have spent more time on your education.  Your use of language needs some work.
    The game is actually a good teaching tool.  You learn a lot about math, business, and time management. 

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."
