    Not All That Bad

    I started playing Runescape by in 2004 with a few friends.  I'm not really good at writing up things so I will just bullet point the main things I like and dislike. 

    Likes

    Can be very fun with friends.  My advice with anyone kind of starting out to play Runescape is get a friend to start with you or have a friend that already plays, it's helpful, trust me.

    Quests are somewhat interesting and can be fun.

    Takes a very long time to max out a skill, which I actually like but I know a lot of people don't, good thing they where not playing back when Runescape first was released.

    The Runescape world is massive with a lot of things to do.

    Graphics are very good for what the game is played off, a browser using Java.  I personally can't think of any browser based game that is as massive as Runescape that looks as good.

    Sound is ok music for each area is very different and sometimes rather catchy.

    Updated weekly for the most part, the odd time it may be 2 weeks before an update but generally when this happens it's a big update.

    Easy to make great friends.

    Can play it more or less anywhere on any computer with a internet connection.

    A large amount of mini games in the world that are very fun, for example Castle Wars two teams fight to capture each others flag and at the end of 20 minutes whatever team with the higher number of captures wins.

    Dislikes

    The game lacks helping new players out with what to do, where to go but recent updates have been trying to fix this problem.

    New players with low combat level can get abused rather badly by other users.

    Rather abusive community in general, there are nice people but generally the nice people keep to themselves.

    Gameplay is very repetitive.

    Making money (a very important need in Runescape) is generally toadies and  lacks fun for the most part.

    Some skills are rather useless.

      A good gateway MMO, and generally enjoyable 0

      Runescape is a much-played but not so well-known online  MMORPG that launched in 2001. Since that time, it has gone through major graphical and gameplay changes, and its current form is almost unrecognizable compared to what it was a few years ago. The gameplay is skill-based, and there are a plethora of skills. They are essentially divided into 3 categories, with some overlap in between. Attacking skills increase your proficiency in combat, improving the armor/weapons you can wield, opening up ...

      role play in the mystical world full of idiots, bots, and n00bs 0

      this game is taken for "the worst game ever" or "It sucks!" or some crap like that, really it is not a bad game. you just need to know what to do, and if the game is sooo bad, then why is their 45000 players on all the time? the game is extreamly addictive. THE GAME DOES NOT SUCK!   you just need to get the hang of it. it is quite easy... yet you will find yourself taking a years worth or 6 mounths worth of a break. if you think the game is impossible and you can't do anything right, don't worry...
