its a horrible game for 3 year olds

Yeah uhm played it in Elementary… what does that show. Now they have dumb upgrades to make the game more kid adaptable ? that was a bad choice 1.5/5 for that game

I suppose it’s a game for those who have nothing else to play? Which is blasphemy, they have Kongregate! <many> But I mean it’s okay for those who want to pay $5 a months to get all the perks, which is just about anything and everything good your character can ever achieve. Ah well!

It’s something for hardcore fans to stay true to, plus it keeps them off the rest of the internet. I say it’s doing us a considerable favor and just need to let it be.

Well, I occasionally play it, but it’s kinda boring, with REALLY time-taking battles, no good ways to make money, and around 1 square KM of non-member land. I don’t wanna pay £5 a month to be able to play it.

Runescape took away all the blood and gore of fighting in the wildy by PK. Then you couldn’t trade large ammounts of money, but you can now – Ish. and then something even worse came out. PK worlds, I mean, who wants to go on a world where you die every 5 seconds when you could just bring the wild People killing back. So its now more kid/child orientated and they are changing it so its more physical. Chopping wood and mining ore etc. Which is boring by all account when you can go out and do those things in real life instead of wasting your time on a cyber version.

runescarpe is a good game and like angusis9 said all it takes is time and patience, but i aslo agree with danny123456 it has been downgraded loads with that stupid update to the way it plays. I don;t mmind the graphic update but why screw up the playing. :(

I’ll give u 10 reasons why u should shut up and drop it
1. It’s not violent
2. Keeps kids away from the rest of the internet (viruses, content unsuitable for ppl under the age of 18, cookie downloads and things that wipe ur hardrive)
3. Has a swear filter… better than kongregate for under 11’s
4. ur an idiot
5. ur an idiot
6. ur an idiot
7. ur an idiot
8. ur an idiot
9. ur an idiot
10. ur an idiot

shut the hell up you bratty know-it-all!

The graphics have improved but it is still pretty bad.

I played RS for a couple years(basically one free and one member). I figured I be a blacksmith basically(make and sell armor and weapons), and was disappointed to find that the entire in game economy runs around leveling. Too many skills are just built for skills sake or as a quest requirement. I know some people like the quests and I found some of the stories interesting, but I would have much rather read them. I found the quests dreadfully boring to play out, and for the time spent pointless. I have friends who still play it and love it. They are welcome to it. I have moved on and won’t be going back. Do agree though it’s a great place for kids to play and socialize compared to so many other sights.

I also played Runescape for around a year, at first it was a very fun game but now, sadly, they have downgraded it until it was basicly a kid social network. At first i really liked Runescape but when i started using console games and a little bit of WoW on the side it seemed that RS was basicly the only game that could have graphics and still run on the internet(I give a thumbs up to Jagex for that). It seemed to fill in a gap at first but once you see the big picture RS just doesn’t live up to your standards anymore. So basicly its a starter game for most but to some its a game that will last them awhile.

Runescape while it may not have the best graphics or gameplay , it’s still a gaming phase that I think everyone gamer shud go through.
and considering when it was designed and made it’s pretty good.
And I think it is like a tutorial for the rest of online gaming.And most propably it’s affected every game i know in someway or another.and for anyone who doesn’t like it he is free not to play it.
