Has anyone here played Runescape? It's a MMORPG based game that is free and can be played on your browser with no big download files. There is a Members Option for those that want to explore more of the game and get more skills.

[_r.u.s.s.]

why yes, runescape is very well known around the internet. back then when there wasn't much mmorpgs runescape was most popular

it is most popular for being retarded, boring and having the most annoying kid community ever

I played the game a lot in 2006-2007, back when they didn't ruin it with a gay graphical update and game-altering updates that just limited your freedom.

Since then I haven't played it and IMHO it's just an easier, dumbed down 3D version of Ultima Online

Awfulness Awfulness Awfulness. There, that is my review of Runescape.

Still play it on a regular basis, I've been around there since 2007. The community is awful though.

my wifes little brother played ((at least i think he doesn't play it anymore)) it for quite awhile...
i never liked it or got into it myself...
i've always been far too interest in WoW

[Cycieties]

I absolutely loathe this garbage "game". It's just third-rate graphics and coding and yet the monthly subscription can be compared to WoW.

the free quests are boring. Getting skills is simply a matter of doing the same thing for hours on end. Enemies are either easy or in an area where players hunt you. Its filled to the brim with bots, macroers, cheaters, scammers, trolls and other such charming people.

Other players rate you based on your combat level, even if that may only be a tenth of your actual points, never on your actual skill or knowledge. Plus if you do have high misc skills, they'll not believe you, and wont be bothered to check if you were actually telling the thruth

aside from that its quite a fun game

There've been no bots for more than 2 years already since they did an update which prevented farming for shop bots. Same with the macroers, didn't see any since long time anymore, except for those insta-spammers in areas with lots of people.

There's a small neat option called Quick Chat which instantly tells anyone what level in a skill you have, relying directly on the current value of that skill. It has also been implemented already long, long time ago and everyone trusts what the Quick Chat says about your skill.

You sure you know the game well you're bashing so eagerly? There're not only bad points about it.
