Note: You can bitch all you want about me being biased against it, but I've actually played it(I know, horrible). This review will not be broken up rating every aspect, just my thoughts on it.

Background(slowly turned into review): I have had the unfortunate horror of playing Runescape. It was the big hit in my school last year, until everyone there realized it sucks. Thankfully, I was not pulled in, as my computer couldn't open it(thankfully). I thought I was missing out on something, but I wasn't. People were even giving real life money for stuff in it, which is really dumb, you know you have no life when you spend real money on bits of data. No one really gives a damn about your level 70 account, and I'm damn well not paying $20 for it. Speaking of money, though, this game has no price tag, unless you want to become a 'member', which grants you new worlds to go to(worlds are just the same exact thing, except that some will be full, so you have to go to another one(doesn't matter again, no difference)), so that's not really a plus. The other main thing you get is different items(Crystal Bow(shoots faster, I think(pfft, it's turn based))). Again, nowhere near giving $5 a month for. Speaking of the fights, horrible. Turn based, but it's way zoomed out, and the battles are just you and the enemy flinching at each other, with little numbers over your head for damage. When you start out, you'll pretty much never even be able to cause even one point, though. When I played it, it was only for a day, and the most exciting thing I got to do was chop a magically regrowing tree. Some guy started coming over and cutting it too, and I told him to get away from my tree, which of course he didn't listen to, so I got to chop even less, which was the only thing I could do, because after you died, you lose everything, so you couldn't do anything other than what the stuff is you have on you, because it's really impossible to find a store, unless you can memorize everything, so after realizing that even though that tree chopping was the most exciting thing, it wasn't the only thing I was forced to do in life, so I stopped. Greatest thing I ever did was stop.

I might be adding more to this later at some point.
 
Bravo! Bravo! *applause* That review could not be any more accurate. Everything up there is true. The game is nonsense. If you like stupid MMO's that show you have no life, then this is for you! But if you actually want to be socially accepted, then this is not for you! RuneScape, trade your life for $5 a month.

Of course, I must critic a few things in that review just because I have to hate something in everything. First off, you had a couple minor inaccuracies in your review (i.e what you get for being a member), second, you should have played for more than a day (as painful as it is) and this will really piss off Runefan...wait that might be kinda funny...good review otherwise though and I know because I got my character to lvl 50 (that's peer pressure for you) before I finally couldn't take it anymore.
 
Well, of course I had errors with member stuff, I never said it was perfect, not like I'd want to waste $5 just to see it.
 
Re: Runescape: Review(not a crappy expansion that forces you to waste another $2

You just did this to spite runefan...

Poor members always causing drama.
 
Re: Runescape: Review(not a crappy expansion that forces you to waste another $2

you might as well change the word review to rant

:EDIT: I've been looking through most of the recent threads made in PC discussion and I say enough is enough, this mindless MMO bashing must end, weather you care for MMO's or not this is not the place to air your dirty laundry

you have to understand that no matter how much you detest a certain game or genre some people find them enjoyable and if it's intentional or not when you bash these games you are putting these people down, now in the course certain particular threads that begin to bash these games I've seen that certain members come under personal attack, which being that we are on a public forum where everybody's opinions and ideas should be respected, should never take place

so I simply ask that if you do not care for a particular game or genre take it up in private instead of creating multiple negative topics that clutter up the forum
 
Only see one Runescape review. Seriously, I don't like it, that's my opinion, I can have it. Reviews aren't always happy. I did not do it to rip on RuneFan, I did it to see if I could after Jack suggested something like it. And, no matter how much you detest it, you can't stop people from having and voicing opinions. Everyones ideas and opinions are to be respected? You're telling everyone who doesn't like them to cork it, to put the term lightly.

:lol no, but you've expressed your disliking for runescape or whatever it is in multiple threads. Don't gotta act like a kid about it and keep on goin on and on. ;)
 
I believe I stated this back when I first joined the forum, don't let the internet get to you. Honestly, personal attacks? I could see that logic if we went up in their face in actual reality and dissed RuneScape, but it's a site people. What we say, shouldn't affect what you think of the game. I mean if you love the game so much, you shouldn't care what we say. This is just fhqwhgads' way of expressing his feelings for this game, and he should be able to do it without hassle. The truth hurts.

So? At least they're fitting threads.
 
I could go on and on as well.

Seriously, this game chhoses what you keep when you die, regardless of usefulness:

"I got some loot to go sell, a bow, a few shields, extra food, etc., oh hey, a level 2 goblin! I can beat that easily with my level 8 warrior!"

*later dies due to randomness of game's combat system to said level 2 goblin* Did I mention, out of all the useful items I got from the tutorial, the only things I kept were two shields and a bow (with no arrows)?

C'mon...

Same with Tibia, but we won't go there.
 
Yeah, the system really prevents you from getting even a one when you're under 10.

Mod note: Don't try to bypass the filter.
 
Re: Runescape: Review(not a crappy expansion that forces you to waste another $2

Just play Morrowind (or Oblivion). :D

It's like Runescape, only:

-Better Graphics :woot
-50x more stuff to do :woot
-You pay for the game ONCE. (Seriously, 5 bucks extra a month for the ability to pickpocket people? Sheesh.) :woot
-The others characters are NPC, not immature 12 year olds looking for an internet "gf". :woot

Runescape is only fun if you have no life or no concept of time/quality/social skills. ;)

Actually, just play anything else BUT that. Like ring toss in your backyard. Go outside and play or something. Seriously. :lol

And yes, I've played the game, so I can safely say it blows. :sick

I love Oblivion. I tried Runescape but didn't really like it that much. I like Well of Souls. It's a 2-D MMORPG for free. It's pretty fun.
