Note: You can **** 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.

Runescape kicks ass if you get passed that it has n64 graphics, but were you a member? no. the members world are about 4x as big as the free worlds with a shit load more stuff to do. you have to also be nice to other people and not say" GTFO this is my damn tree" people just can't get passed. and to be good at runescape you just can't be an american dumbass.
Sorry for the flaming and all, but that really pisses me off.

Who cares about the graphics, why would I want to wase $5 a month, shit load more stuff since you have no money to experience real life, who cares, it's already big enough(too big), maybe if everyone was nice towards the newb, I would have been nice toward them, and most players are American. Hence the newb raping. |

Runescape doesn't just have crappy graphics, it has crappy game play.
Most people that know me could tell you that I don't really care about graphics, so it wasn't that aspect that annoyed me about the game. It just plays so horribly that it isn't worth the trouble.
They try to give you a stripped down MMO, but they throw in all this extra crap that makes it even more complicated.
...
I'm sure some people might find it fun, but as a person who actually plays games, I can see beyond the "LOLZ WE CAN TALK THROUGH THE GAME INSTEAD IN REAL LIFE LMAOSWFJOE" factor, and play something that doesn't suck.

It is a really bad game. I agree completely, but considering its free, I suppose you get what you pay for....or...don't pay for.
