hello all BEFORE YOU BASH ME LIKE A PINITA HEAR ME OUT!
mabey i havent made my self clear. I unsderstand MANY 30+ nerd low-lifes on this have vision problomes. i hope this helps you relise
-I DO NOT PLAY RUNESCAPE!!!!!! NOR AM I DEFENDING IT!!!-
i bin hearing SO MUCH about player housing and what not. It has come to my attention witch i recently found out. Runescape has all of this YES I SAID ~~~RUNE....SCAPE~~~~ most of you already loaded up your flaming cannons.
- runescape has crop farming, and a huge variaty in food
- runescape has player housing that i have to say would bring me back to the game.
- runescape has extensive "extra" skills. Fishing, crafting, mining, smithing,woodcutting,fletching,slaying,cooking,thiving,herbolor, AND EVEN FIREMAKING!
- promt fun up-dates, holiday events, only 5$ a month for membreship, large community, MANY MANY MANY MINIGAMES! CASTLE RADING! GORUP ACTIVITYS!
- ENDLESS POSSIBLITY IN PvP
-for you low-lives that just worry about grpahix i think you should look at the big picture here. Jagex ltd has some out of the box ideas. becuase of their grpahix, and community its bashed, shunned on, and hated.
all in all, IF runescape had better graphix and a more mature community do you think it would be more of a succese? i cirtinly do

All of it... even firemaking, which is named Camping in UO.
Plus, UO does have better graphics than runescape
its just that UO is too old, but it has much more content than every other MMO I've ever played (and I've played almost everything)
First thing I did when I played this game was TURN OFF THE CHAT. It was the worst community i've ever encountered, and only a mindless kid (or someone really stoned) would enjoy the conversations.
The only reason why I signed up for this game was because my RL best friend was playing it, and I trusted her and her little clan she had inside the game. I liked it for a while, the skill based aspects. But having to cut down trees for two weeks to raise my woodcutting skill gave me ulcers.
This game reminds me of a skeleton version of UO (or from what i've heard).
But whatever, and people like the OP playing the game wont help at all. Maybe let the RS community pass 3rd grade, then i'll try it again.
I think you need to learn grammer before writing it...
Ah the good old 25 fire fire. Probably one of my favorite things.
That makes me think of another thing for my amazing contextual engine of the future (the purely hypothetical one). You need to be able to set fire to more things in MMOs. In D&D, its like plan b for dealing with any situation. My characters always have spare oil for just such situations.
Retreat
Plan A: Use Skills or Combat
Plan B: Set something (anything) on fire
Plan C: Complain to the GM
Plan
RuneScape sucks, get over it.
Horrid community - Honestly the worst I've ever seen in an MMORPG. It's completely filled with illiterate, whiney, "l33t d3wd" 12 year old kiddies.
Broken Economy
Sound/Graphics that make my ears/eyes bleed - Believe it or not, the quality of sound and graphics DO matter. It's why we're not all playing text based MMO's. The only people who say it doesnt are usually just RuneScape fanboi's.
Boring, repetitive, basic combat that involves zero skill - Worst combat I've ever seen~ PERIOD
Awful skill/stat/levelling system
One of the best things is how kids like the OP come here and tell us about all these "new, cool" features that RuneScape has. Then they act like RuneScape practically invented it. In all honesty, RuneScape is one of the most unoriginal MMO's out there. Almost every idea has been done before, but BETTER. Don't even try calling these "out of the box"~ These are very much "in the box" and have been so for many years.
Fact is, RuneScape is a bad game. It has absolutely nothing that many better MMORPG's don't. It's simply a training ground for MMORPG newbs.

you bin hearing huh?

Spelling is nice, too. It's grammar, by the way.
Ok firstly... the runescape combat pking system is very complex... anyone who says otherwise obviously has never played the game or never got members. Seriously I dont even want to bother trying to convince you if you have this mindset because you obviously have not played the game or quit while on a free server before you reached lvl 20.
What exacly is easy about managing your food, prayer and constantly micro-managing between you magic skills and your melee and ranged weapons ... its not easly at all... actually its so hard that their arn't very many people good at it and it takes along time to master... you put on anti-ranged prayer they switch to mage gear then blast u with a spell... if you eat at the wrong time it can cost you 1/2 a swing and give the edge to your opponent... You use melee attack... your opponent freezes/entagles you and steps back out of range... you use magic he switches to anti-magic prayer/gear. its a constant dance of outthinking your opponent and reacting faster then them.
As for community... well if we are going to judge a game based on a bunch of retards in a newbie zone then EVE and WOW are just as bad... im mean during my EVE trail my manditory corp chat was filled with people who talked no stop about cybering and jerking off.
Please name a game where I can take 100 people from my clan on weeknights an walk aroudn in a pk zone and run into other clans who probably also has 100+ people and have an hour long fights... Runescape is the only game I can think of that actually has massive and very active pk/clan community. I mean their are even organized tournaments between all the major clans... but whatever... you can dismiss the greatest clan communities in any mmorpg today based on interactions with a few noobs...
Old games had quality. Now a day, graphics are one of the most important things. Cut back a bit on the gameplay, so you have time to implent TOTAL REALISTIC WATER AND HUGE ASS EXPLOSIONS.
I play Text Games. There are quite a few people who play text games, probably more than that play WoW.
But yeah, Runescape pushes bad graphics to a whole new level. I don't mind POOR graphics, but Runescape graphics just suck. I'm not talking about the engine they use or the detail on them, I'm talking about their whole design! The graphics design itself is just horrible. The first 3D Game I ever played had better graphics than Runescape. (Virtua Fighter)

Greatest clan community? oh boy are you in for a treat.
Complex combat system? lol ?
Ya spelling is nice, but the fucked up english language is to blame. I'd rather read something that made sense and had a lot of spelling errors then something that didn't make any sense at all.

No worry. I was just teasing you the way you teased that other bloke. Personally, I don't mind spelling errors as long, as you said, I can understand what the poster is trying to communicate. There are so many people from so many places which is one of the reasons I enjoy the site. I have, however, read some posts, even from people who are English speaking natives, that are so grammatically screwed up that I couldn't suss them a bit, so I completely agree. I was just teasingly pointing out a bit of irony in your post. No offense.
PS "English" should be capitalised. OK, ok... I'll stop now!

True. For some reasons, some people think that everybody should speak a flawless English, and furthermore that they should actually take the time, to care about their spelling and grammar are flawless online. I got what's equivalent to a A in both oral and written exam in english, and still I make a lot of errors online.
Just remember folks. Net forum 101:
If you "attack" somebody for his/her grammar, punctuation or spelling, make sure your own post is flawless.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
The pk in Runescape is HORRIBLE. it is so horrible because there isn't anyone to PK except a few low levels done mage arena mini-quest (who have a full inventory of lobsters, and no armour usually). People are too scared to fight in PvP because they lose too much. It took me 2 months of skill grinding before i could buy a rare item, barrows set and dragon armour. Then, you lose that in maybe 10 minutes. Whats the fun in that?
thats why you PvP in what you can afford. Granted when one wants PvP they load up GW or CS.

I used to PvP in rune, with an abbysal whip or dragon weapons, some prayer pots and sharks (melee). I only did melee because magic was simply risking too much, and everyone took dragonhie along with them.
Back to what i was going to say, you can't PvP in wilderness alone because you will usually get cornered by a group of 10, and thats what i find irritating. Yes, i could PvP in the Minigames, but there is no risk involved there.
"So you are saying that because the servers can handle 200+ ppl in one tiny zone at the same time fighting it makes this game so hugely much better than say DAoC?
Greatest clan community? oh boy are you in for a treat.

I will admit i have not played DAOC, but that is realm vs realm combat and as far as I knew you cant really do clan vs clan. What I was trying to say is that If I made a post on my clans forum right now... i could get 100 people to go out pking with me and if we pked for a few hours or so we would run into many small teams and eventually large clans of simular size to fight. If you can do that in DAOC then I guess ur right but by the fact that I cant find any pk vids for daoc means that its probably not very popular.

Their are people to pk...there are always lvl 3-30 at varrock wilderness edge linefighting... there is always people lvl 10-30 of the time at the lvl 12 castle ... there are always lvl 30-80's at gaints. And thier are always clans with lvls 100-126 running around at mage-bank or in lvl 45 wilderness on f2p. If you dont see anyone on your server log out and log into a server with more people. Or if you want just go to traning spots to kill unsuspecting people. If you die after 10 min and loose all ur gear then ur not doing something right, and many people like the fact that you loose everything. If you can afford a rare holiday item which people who have played for years dont even have then you can afford to easily buy 50 rune sets and use a whip (and just protect the whip each time you die).
Erg, What is better grafics anyway? I liked the old Runscape grafics, before the new ultra sleek 3d crap they have now.
It was simple, and to the point. It wasnt blocky, or smudged, just simple. Heck, RO still has the same grafics system yet they are still growing by the day.
Ah well.
and btw, i think the member system nuked the game econemy, not the players. I was making easy decent cash before members, and wham, everyone stoped buying :S sigh...
the only think that's gonna make me "try" RS again, is if they revert the grafics, chance of that happening are slim ot none, so.
I grinded my account up to lvl 104, with a total lvl of 1657. So yes, i do know a "bit" about the game. At my level, there was no one to PvP with other than the free for all arena in the Tzhaar area. I have Pk'ed many times in the wilderness, but usually there were only 2 possible scenarios:
1. I kill a few idiots running around with absolutely nothing and waste my time, resulting to me leaving
2. A massive Pk group comes and kills me.

I have nothing but this to say. Runscape, without a shread of doubt, does indeed suck eggs
