Ugh, it sickens me to see all the people say "RuneScape sucks! The graphics are horrible go play WoW! The graphics are actually good!" People that say that are probably like 9 year old kids that dont know crap about games. I personnaly think graphics are good, but the gameplay serioulsy kicks butt. What other game has all those skills thats not combat, all those mini-games most of witch are not combat and is only 5 bucks a month? No downloads as well. Now, another issue is peope say "RuinedScape now, Jagex ruined it" Ffs, they did not ruin it. They did all of the updates to kill bots! And bounty hunter is pretty good, if you dont like it, its probably because you get your ass owned because you suck -.- The trade update..big deal you cant give stuff to your friends. Boo hoo! Would you rather not be able to give out free stuff, or not get scammed and have bots gone? The game isnt even a big grind, if your bored of a skill, go to a mini-game or train a non-combat skill. So stop playing for 5 mins and saying the game sucks because of graphics, when you dont even know crap about the game.

I'm no 9 year old kid. In fact I'm almost 4 times your age and I've seen game and game systems come and go. I played PC games back before Windows when they were played on DOS. I played console games when Atari was king and Pong was new and I can say with certanty that Runescape IS AND ALWAYS WAS a crappy game.

Well then, even though you played those games, you obviously didnt know bull about them. Probably played them for like 5 mins and then threw them out the window. Even if you did know about video games, you probably just looked at RuneScape and said "Oh, its crap! Dont play!"
After reading your recent posts, you say that Jagex has messed up the game too much. After that, you come here and tell everyone to stop complaining...?
And I have played this game for 4 years. Jagex ruined it with their half-minded updates, and you know it too. Bounty Hunter does suck, and so does F.O.G. (which is also pointless). The trading update is pathetic, and the only people they have as their custamor base is immature kids like yourself.

First off, I didnt say I still played. This thread is mostly because of people saying graphics suck. The updates are pretty bad, but they didnt ruin the game. Look at the reason they made them, to stop bots. Second, Im immature? Come to my school and youll learn very fast im probably the most mature in my grade. Why would a immature kid use correct puncuation? Besides that, all the things I said wasnt even immature. Its called reasoning, sure my last post wasnt the most mature, but my reasons? Ha.
After surfing this forum, I am glad to see a thread actually defending the game. I've seen too many threads saying that the game sucks and it's good to read something not like that for a change. I thank you for a good read.
I lost all my dignity a long time ago.
People sell accounts now...much better?
Back to the rest of your thread... The graphics do suck, so I'm not sure what you're getting at with that. Also, you must be new and have no friends. Lets face it. You can't help your friends, the PvP is a joke, what else makes it worse? Oh yes, the fact that the game is actually a grind. But instead of killing monsters endlessly, you can no mine rocks endlessly. If you're bored with that, you can cut trees endlessly. Sure you can do mini-games, but still, they're not even that good.
And it's not because you suck if you die in bounty hunter. It's clear you don't play bh or you already have a clan, for us people who liked playing with small groups of friends for fun, that time is over for us now. It's group up or die.

Wow, you must be the dumbest person on the forums so far? On Topic: People selling accounts? What a joke, bots are still stopped. The graphics do not suck, you obviously dont know what makes games good. Ive played games with horrible graphics and still found them fun because of the gameplay. The PvP a joke? They added one on one areas, so if your looking for a one on one fight, go their. Off Topic: Ive gone to that school for all of my life and I have many friends, WAY more then you im pretty positive of that. Oh yeah,,ROFL to what you said about me being new and having no friends. Whats being mature have to do with that? Grow up.

First of all, the graphics do suck, it's pretty obvious. If you do think they are good, why don't you look around this site at some screenshots, not all of them are great, but they are better than RuneScape, that's for sure. Also, when did I say that the game sucked because of it's graphics. I also once had a great time on this game, so I could care less about the graphics. Gameplay is always the most important.
As for the 1v1 PvP. I know they added in the arenas and the minigame. There is no risk whatsoever anymore.
Also, by friends I meant in-game friends. Mabye I was wrong, mabye you're just greedy and don't lend things to friends or new players
Also, I fail to see why people like you defend Jagex. It's fine, you lik the game. But I don't see why people stand up for Jagex, after they treat their custamors like crap. They have terrible custamor service, and make updates without caring about what the community thinks. They have treated their community like crap, and some people are just persistant to stick up for what they do. They say it was to stop bots, well it doesn't matter the reason. If Jagex actually though about their updates, mabye they would actually would have thought of a good solution to the problem, instead of screwing their players over.

Lets not make this thread a flamefest
I agree with what tuss said.
?
Ok, I agree with some of your points. I did give things to new players and IRL friends. (and no, they were not noobish items.) Ive given out Rune and things like that to IRL friends, and usually 50k to 100k of cash to online friends. Yes, I will agree the customer support most deffinitly is not the best. I wasnt defending Jagex, just the game. I didnt say you hated the game just for graphics. Guess its time to stop flaming, we have a better conversation anyway. Sorry for all the comments against you. (I am NOT trying to suck up, so please dont continue the flame with that as your reason -.-)
okay, i played this game for 4 years and they DID ruin the game.
every new update they do is for silly kids who complain how hard the game is.
jagex killing bots?
i dont think so- bot are still usable, only they cannot sell their stuff for irl money(now they have to sell their items with whole account)
jagex killing bots? ruining merchanting/pking/staking
staking was all i did in last year
i staked from 100 k to 600 m(most i had was 1.4 bil) how much can u stake now ----3k?
i always liked games where u can get rich with luck(cos i always have luck)
now in runescape u have to grind
prices got messed up with the trade system--- this made most of the players lose millions and more---
----- after they messed all it up, i quited-----
what is better --- remove half game--- or play with botters
i pick 2nd 1 because i liked this game
and about trading ....i did threw drop party in christmas etc... now u can like drop 3k a day?
and i always helped my friends out with tens of millions- now u can never help ur friends out
kids like u ranted about how hard the game was...
so jagex made auto x this and auto x that
now all skills are like "x" all
thats same as botting
this game was good/ but they actually got mad because players were earning more money selling in game items than they made for selling membership --- so they got mad and killed half game - losing half players
now kids like u are playing and enjoying whats left of "good" game
thank you and let the game die *rip*
Here I thought this was going to be another swg vets refugee thread ( ' ;
Lol? First off, I never said I still played, I said stop complaining. Second..ROFL!? "Kids" like me said the game was hard? Where the hell did I say that? Third, I didnt say "killing bots" I said stopping, learn the differences. Last, stop calling me kid, jeez..
From what I've witnessed here it seems that the 'rs bashers' don't really know what they are talking about.
1. For the Graphic Engine that RuneScape is run on Runescape has good grapics. It isn't everyday somebody can create a game such as Rs with Java.
If you believe that Runescape does have bad graphics I challenge you to make a game through Java that compares or beats the graphics of Runescape. Chances are that will never happen.
2.The comment "half the players have quit." That also isn't true. Around 5% have quit, and around 4% of those quitters were actual bots. If 50% have quit the game the player numbers would be around the range of 10k active users during off peak hours. Considering that at best as I've seen yesterday during off peak the users was at 110k During peak hours 180k Weekends 200k-210k.
3.The only reason you cry and moan about the game being ruined is because it effected YOU and others who are like you. The sort who only think about gaining things easily whether it be through merchanting, dueling or player killing. Go cry me a damn river because the game has actually gotten harder to make your precious pixelated money.
4. The comment "Only immature kids play Runescape." If that is so then those who don't play Runescape must be really immature. I'm 22 years old and play Runescape.
5. The comment "Runescape is repetitive." That might be true, but I challenge you to find a MMORPG that isn't repetitive. You know what you won't find it because no matter what each and every MMORPG is repetitive.
Lastly, to call somebody immature and a kid for playing a game makes you the immature kid. If you don't like a game don't play it.
*applause* That is the best thing I have read on this forum so far.
I lost all my dignity a long time ago.

althouggh the trade restriction did screw up the game i still play and still have fun
so suck it up
There is s reason why this game is coded in Java... Jagex= Java Gaming Experts. You got to give Jagex props for making such a great MMORPG from Java. All you people who thinks RuneScape is bad is because of graphics? Look at RuneScapes many skills. Tell me one other MMORPG that has fishing, mining, woodcutting, random events, smithing, crafting, runecrafting, agility, hunting, herblore, slayer, and cooking. None? I thought so. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it sucks. I dare anyone to a Java browser based game as good as RuneScape. All of you are idiots who compare RuneScape to those downloadable games such as World of Warcraft, like DUH' Runescape cannot beat its graphics. Don't need to make any pointless comparisons. Java vs. Java based game. Browser vs. Browser based game. Downloadable vs Downloadable game. Not Java/Browser based vs Downloadable game. A reason to hate a game based on graphics is just plain stupid. Who cares about graphics when gameplay sucks? RuneScape's graphics may not be at your expectations but its gameplay makes up for it and I have to say RuneScapes gameplay beat some 3-D MMORPG's out there. I bet more than 50% of the people who says RuneScape sucks never even played as a member or gotten to level 50, where the harder quests begin. Don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case Don't judge a game by its graphics alone. Also, if you are going to make a come back at me for saying all this, at least make one worth while for me to actually spend some time reading it and not some worthless piece of crap you call a come back.
Runescape isn't bad because of the graphics.. there are soo many more reasons it is bad.
1. game speed. Most of the game is waiting for stuff to happen. you wait for runite to respawn, for magic trees to regrow, your plants to grow in farming.. even the amount of time it takes to actually mine runite or chop magic logs is a punishment not a reward for your levels. Waiting for everything to happen is boring not fun or challenging. *yawns*
2. There are no real rewards for your levels, only more suffering. giving you a stupid cape to do silly emotes that make people follow you around and harrass you to do them is not a reward for the efforts it takes to get those levels. Harrasment is a punishment not a reward.
3. you do not compare games on how they were made .. it is their own fault for using java. You compare how fun all games are regardless of "downloadable, disc, browser... ect. That is like saying you can't compare a metal song to a rap song .. it is all music and thus can be compared. They are all games so they can be compared to as well. limiting your choices for comparison does not help or prove your arguement.
4. poor community. customer service is deplorable, downright rude and if you enlighten them on other options for their game they like to delete posts so that the general runescape population will not be aware of the fact that they actually have other choices than to ruin their game. They treat their customers like cattle gone astray and try to prod them back to the herd. Though they have a 13+ age limit they do not enforce it and with most of their current updates their target audience appeals to 8 yr olds.
5. I have done every quest in the game there were no hard quests in game ... and the quests were lacking more like a chore than fun. I have to say that guild wars quests were a better quality for way less than you pay for runescape membership.
6. poor value. For current standards runescape is a poor value for what you actually get. In runescape you cannot help your friends because trade is limited, at least on guild wars you have a quality game with decent graphics, and better gameplay for way less than you pay for 1 years membership with runescape.runescape membership 1 y ear = $60 guild wars to play forever = $30 .. hmm doesn't take a genious to figure that one out.
7. I was a member .. and my character had a 1900 total level, had finished all quests, and was lvl 122 combat and a lvl 70 range barrager at the time I left so I don't think you can tell me anything i did not already know about the game. I had dealt with jag bs as long as I could .. I had to end the suffering.
8.Their game had potential prior to the updates last fall .. now it is all downhill. The wilderness gambling and trade were what the game really had going for it because it was those freedoms that made the game playable .. without freedoms the game is a grind fest .. no rewards slow and very boring game.
1) What develicious said
2) You are wrong. Games will be compared to other games. Just because it is browser based does NOT mean that it will not be compared to other games, as it should be compared to other games. RuneScape is a success, and it will be compared to other successful games, wether you like it or not.
3) No one here is really saying it sucks because of the graphics. You are making assumptions that just because everyone thinks it sucks that they think that because of the graphics. Try reading through these forums and you can see why people think this game sucks.
4) I played this game for a while. But I'll tell you what, I bet at least 80% of the people who play RuneScape thinks it's great because they haven't tried out any other games. That's what I used to think.
Also, I am tired of people saying "i dare to to create a game like RuneScape in Java". Respectful game companies COULD do this, but they will not, since downloadable is much more popular. There are other reasons,but I don't feel like getting into them now.

*agrees with mike*.. well except for the part of thinking it was all that great whn I played it, I have been playing games a while.. I played because my real friends played.. that was about it. I had played better games before and after .. If I hadn't been drunk at the time i was talked into playing I probably wouldn;t have. LOL!
*applause* That is the best thing I have read on this forum so far.
I totally agree! like wow...said almost everything i wanted to. And mike, great way to put it
. I myself have played till lvl 89, and almost all the quests. I decided to go for a 99 like 5 times...all got to like lvl 80 and bored of it. Its the repetition and grinding(combat and non-combat) that makes up majority of the reasons people quit. I didn't really bother about the graphics but the updates really concerned me, so i have quit since Jan 01...got REALLY 
at jagex...
I agree RS is alot better then alot of other games
I dislike grinding games alot....
ZOMG! played since '04 and its still great all MMO's have failed to get passed me except RS its pulled thru and the graphics update will kick major noobcakes!
I dislike grinding games alot....
Is this a joke? It would have to be..
