I have been playing Runescape for a long time now (2 years i think) I play it on and off so I'm only level 91 (look me up, I'm "Mr Smiley35")But just to clear things up for a lot of people I'm gonna list the good and bad points or playing Runescape.



Some good points are:

-Alot of quests

-Great PvP system

-something for everyone

-lots of skills to train

-good community if you're a high level

-It's not just a grind fest

-lots of combinations of armor

-great selection of monsters

-im sure theres more but i can't think of anymore at the moment



Bad points:

-LOTS of hackers and scammers

-not very easy to become good  when low level

-bad community for low levels

-back stabbers in the wilderness (Pking)

-very exspensive to train skills like magic

-hackers and scammers take a long time to get banned



Those are the good and bad points i can think of at the moment... but usually the members community has less scammers and hackers then the free world community... my advice is to become a member as soon as possible

If you meet the right people you will enjoy this game...

    Some good points are:

    -Alot of quests- About 200? Most games now luanch with 1000+.

    -Great PvP system- It's terrible, food spam and click special attack when your opponent is on low hp.

    -something for everyone- except for people looking for a game with depth and roleplay? I've never seen a single person roleplay.

    -lots of skills to train- valid point.

    -good community if you're a high level- including the lowbies that follow you begging?


    -It's not just a grind fest-It defines grindfest! grind mobs for combat xp, grind rocks for ores, grind cows for hides, it goes on.


    -lots of combinations of armor-only ones worth mentioning are barrows,dragon and the regular iron/mithril/ rune stuff.Still nowhere near a regular game.

    -great selection of monsters- Copy-paste and change colour is abused in this game.

    -im sure theres more but i can't think of anymore at the moment

    Wait till you reach level 124, so hard to get any levels, and yes every noob always asks for free stuff.

    3 yrs I played this game and see it as a waste now!

    I quit playing now for about 1 yr, was ranked at 800 when i stopped.

    I have full D-Chain, Veracs, Guthans, a few Abby whips, just got sick of the bull.

    People say your lucky you have all that, want you to give them stuff, Lucky, my ass, I worked hard to get there!  We all start out with the same nooby stuff, and there is no reason why no one else can get to have the same as others, provided your willing to work!

    Player vs Player, personally I don't care for that, I don't PK, I'd much rather help out someone than to go around to show how tough or better I am then someone else. Because you can go out and kill someone in the wild, does that make you a better person!

    It seems people treat other people like the monster characters in the game, what drops can i get.

    And is it one on one there, heck no, they gang up on a person and laugh at them as they kill.

    I was "ONE" time in a PK group doing teleblock, this one person was screwed at mage bank after I did TB'd, did they just kill the person, no, they took turns hitting and laughing at the person.

    New clue scrolls they got, you have to have an inventory of stupid stuff in your bank to complete most of these new clues.  I usually have little or no bank space and then to have to get this stuff is bull!

    Also with 99 att, 99 str and hit 0's is so lame!

    Anyone ever noticed that their is way more people that hate RS than people that like it in these forums? the people that like it have already been inflected with the dreaded virus of addiction...ONLY GOD MAY SAVE THEM!!!....okay on a more serious note have you ever noticed that JAGEX likes to sit on their fat asses counting their money rather than spend a hell load of time working their asses off for the players...a good example of this are the swift switch riots back around new years 2007

    Runescape is different than all other mmorpg

    everything can be make by everyone

    ya they only have a litle more than 200 quest but they are true quest. Most of mmorpg have only quest like: kill 10 goblin or go talk to him orget 10 goblin head

    jagex make more update than most of mmorpg you have more than 1 per week they are improving graphic of all the game presently

    the comunity is nice exept for the macro

    the report system is not bad because most of game dont have any

    runescape is fun because you dont have only to kill monster you can do quest thieving crafting runecrafting hunter slayer ... and the way to upgrade combat lv by training strg def... are nice to.

    you love or you dont love runescape. most of people dont love it just because of the graphic and its a litle hard to start but after when you know better the game its become a great experience. the free and member system are not bad to you can play for ever free but member is a lot funier. and the player kill is the best. nothing more fun than that to do (=

    and they have lot of way to make money depending of what you love and your skill so can take your favorite. The objective of the game is not to be rich but have lot of fun

    Runescape is different than all other mmorpg it hardly has any mmorpg element..only warrior, archer, or mage or all three instead of the usual tauren chieftain, dark mage, warlock, orc, rouge, whatever you name it on a real mmorpg its there...well on most of them. Runescape doesn't have any of the good elements of a mmorpg and technectly its a bbmmorpg (browser based mmorpg) so yea...okay not much difference but u get my point.
    everything can be make by everyone since when can anyone make everything? only like 20% of the items in the game. Theres gnome balls u cant make, holiday drops, quest items, treasure trails just to name a few of the item categories from which u cant make anything from.
    ya they only have a litle more than 200 quest but they are true quest. Most of mmorpg have only quest like: kill 10 goblin or go talk to him orget 10 goblin head yea but the quest give low rewards and alot of effort for nothing on some of them, or it has to be a extremely hard quest for a decent or good reward such as dessert treasure. and yea other mmorpgs have good quest stories and such like runescape but actually have better rewards for your hard effort.
    jagex make more update than most of mmorpg you have more than 1 per week they are improving graphic of all the game presently yea and we dont see the graphics to be that good do we? Jagex says thats the best graphics they can do without it being too slow or laggy but thats jagex blowing smoke up peoples asses for ya.
    the comunity is nice exept for the macro no the community is not nice...where have u been living? they over use the word noob for one, and if ur high lvl they call u a nerd or a no life, low lvl a noob, you die a noob, u win u get flamed, you say a normal word and censors get blocked u get reported...and so on..its worst on f2p servers for everyone but p2p servers are ok for everyone except low lvls who will be called noobs either way.
    the report system is not bad because most of game dont have any every mmorpg pretty much has a report system but you cannot find them all in game, they usually have them in the game web site or the company web site
    runescape is fun because you dont have only to kill monster you can do quest thieving crafting runecrafting hunter slayer ... and the way to upgrade combat lv by training strg def... are nice to.their all the same point...you have to click for everyone dont you? even to move you click and click...why cant i move with wasd or the arrow keys? why isnt there hot keys, why cant i open my inventory with the i button and why cant i cook with the c button or idk...u get my point?
    you love or you dont love runescape. most of people dont love it just because of the graphic and its a litle hard to start but after when you know better the game its become a great experience. the free and member system are not bad to you can play for ever free but member is a lot funier. and the player kill is the best. nothing more fun than that to do (= um runescape is not fun after while since the communty is filled with kids, jackasses, nerds, scammers, hackers, and worst of all zezima. the graphics discourages people with good computers which alot of people have decent ones these days although some people are stuck with a computer that there older brother gave to them when they switched to WoW, player killing is the funnest thing to do in runescape I agree because u get to own runescape noobs...the real ones...but it has the same point to it than anything else in runescape...all you do is click..
    and they have lot of way to make money depending of what you love and your skill so can take your favorite. The objective of the game is not to be rich but have lot of fun isn't that the objective of every game...? well duh

    you have good points but i play this game for 1 point who make runescape different than all other game.

    you dont have to kill monster all your life and have nothing more to do.

    i have exemples of game like that i play and get bored very fast: dongeon runner, scion of fate, pristontale, conquer 1 and 2, eudemon online, silkroad online and a lot more.

    um dude not every game is about killing, your only mentioning korean games there pretty much if u haven't noticed...all the korean games have is to kill. try a game thats not korean and you will be suprised at how different it is than a korean game...such as WoW, space cowboy online, Lotro, ect.

    and yea there aint much of a challenge in the fighting system in runescape...nor is there much a challenge in the game..only challenge there is is to stay all year 24/7 in your computer to get lvl 99 in every skill...where all you do is click..

     

    O and i forgot to mention you already have mentioned that point of yours -.-...

  • 12magic12magic Member Posts: 9

    why are you saying all these shit about clic game. if its that bad why so many people play to them?

    You are the error man and you dont haver to play 24/7

    if you think you have no choice to play like that to be good in runescape you have a problem

  • merloc555merloc555 Member Posts: 29

    im new to being a member here but ill try my best at this.....

    ive been playing runescape for awhile now (about 1 year) and the thing i hate the most are the people in it (the players).

    they cheat and lie alot. when you first start playing money is VERY important because its hard to get and youve got almost nothing to trade with. ive found many 10-30 level players luring the beginers to the wild with the promise of wealth and fortune.when they get there they kill them.

    people will offer you money if you give them your password and such.

    many of the people are just looking for boyfriends and girlfriends (bf and gf) and some will only do it to con things out of you.

    people almost never get banned and bag launguage is rampant.

    one thing i DO like is the constant updates to the game. it insures that there is always something to do and new things to expect.

    problem with that is that most things are member only! of which im not.

    although the holiday events are for everyone! (even though the things you get take up bank space.)

    overall......im bored of runescape and am looking for a new (all free) mmorpg so tell me if you know one

    p.s. my name on runescape is merloc555 and im on almost everyday from 8:00pm to 11:00pm central time zone

    um dude rs only has about 800,000 members and about 1million to 1.5 million members...compared to better mmorpgs that aint a hell lot. i only recomend runescape if u have serious problems with your computer...like 16mb graphics card, 10 year old+ computer, ect.

    um i never said anything about playing 24/7 -.-...if i did i cant look back at my post without deleting this one and look at my previous psot then returning and rewritting this one...

    um yea u do have to play 24/7 well not neccesarily that lnog but u get my point, a long time each day. or you can try playing for a couple years a few hours a day...

    um try maple story or even better space cowboy...better than runescape and absolutely free...
  • merloc555merloc555 Member Posts: 29

    space cowboy ....hahahah funny name

    maple story...ive looked at that im im thinking about it

    i can afford a 30.00$ or less retail price if need be.i dont monthly charges.

    p.s. ive found that finding my way in the forums is difficult. i almost couldnt find this one.

     

    you can serve humanity by killing yourself? thats crazy.become a dictator of america and then change the world (i hate america)

    but thats of topic so....

    maple story...ive looked at that im im thinking about it its alrite, better than runescape and for mediocre computers mostly, i play on it once in a while...
    i can afford a 30.00$ or less retail price if need be.i dont monthly charges. if you want to buy a retail game that doesn't do monthly chargers then buy guild wars. its 2nd in the mmorpg industry just behind word of warcraft...
    p.s. ive found that finding my way in the forums is difficult. i almost couldnt find this one. u get used to it

    yea lots of things too do but its basicly boring grinding where all u do is click for everything in reality. think of it dis way...not much difference between wc, fishing and cooking and other skill right? just a minor difference..u get different products right? but u get the same money for yews and lobbies, and mages and sharks? so its repetive too.
  • merloc555merloc555 Member Posts: 29

    well...when you put it taht way,yes runescape is to repetive and yes...all you do is click

    i think im going to have to change my stand on wether i like it or not......the only good thing is playing agianst other players

  • ownedyou1ownedyou1 Member Posts: 364

    Do you guys have any idea how much people play rs?



    Theres always atleast 100k people on, and it peaks at around 300k,



    thats on at any one time, the most played game behind WoW, (Member subs)



  • merloc555merloc555 Member Posts: 29
    theres never 300k people on runescape......i dont think there are even 100k on at one time
  • KaabulkKaabulk Member Posts: 670

    rofl 300k, the record is 240k something. its usually around 180k and those are about the only people that really play runescape -.-...considering the amount of people quitting and the amount of multiple accounts. i did say about 1m-1.5m players total, they say 10mil but there exaggerating dere and not taking into account multiple accounts and people quitting...

  • KaabulkKaabulk Member Posts: 670
    lmao ur lil site probably has a key logger or sumthin -.-..
  • specter843specter843 Member Posts: 84
    I played Runescape for over three years, eventually I came to realize that the game has far more bad points than good. And that would be the short reason of why I quit.
