I played Runescape years ago, long before it had ever become a fad. (By that I mean when "free" was the only option, the graphics were 2D sprites, only a server or two existed, and only a few hundred people played the game.) It was fun back then due to the sense of community you could feel in the game. When a game only has a few hundred people, eventually you'll get to know the majority of them without even making an effort. When it went fully 3d, I felt that the game actually lost a lot of its niche appeal.

A lot of games fail to address community issues and to provide for their legacy users (the ones who have been around for forever). Eventually this just makes old players feel like they're trying to keep up with something that's constantly being pulled away from them.

Then again, I'm not a really intensive gamer, so this could just be my perspective.

Lol I remember playing this on a 200 year old computer, Apparently there have been improvements to the graphics as they did suck be honest.. I have not been on it since because I got so bored of it, I had grown out of it and just overall hated it in the end.

Notice from BuffaloHELP:

Topic title modified to be more specific.

Ok here I go *inhales* Runescape is for losers who have no friends, or that want to try to act cool by beatin up imaginary monsters with swords and little hit point signs going up whenever you do such. All you are doing is get money, use for weapons, kill monsters who were so stupid they got denied for browser rpg's. There is a kid at our school who LOVES runescape. Nickname- Ratchet.

Ratchet squeaks when he talks, has a major lisp, hasn't hit puberty, looks like he hasn't washed his hair in years, small for his age, has nerd glasses, has no friend, better chance of him shooting himself than getting a girlfriend. Yeah I know he is a dunce. So I hope everyone has learned thier lesson not to spend forever playing Runescape. Or to just sit by the computer all day. Walk your dog for gosh sakes! It is pissing all overy your carpet. Ooops. There goes your strategy guide for Runescape! Now you're angry!

 I don't know why I just really hate the online rpg runescape, it makes me so angry when people at my school don't shut up about runescape.What is so great about runescape.

you see I'm sure there is a game you like perhaps football or some other game that I do not like so you see this is an oppinion you might not like a game but I might like it its the differing oppinions that make us live as humans and argue as ones.

I personally don't like watching football on tv because I see that it is somewhat boring no offence you don't like runescape because loosers play it ... Not realy in my school popular kids who like football like to play it and ive seen 20-40 year olds play it see its just another way to pass on a boar.

runescape fails for the following reasons1) Instead of spending COUNTLESS hours in front of the computer without gaining any sort of advancement to your knowledge, use the time to read, or solve math problems. As they say, “Time is Money”. 2) Sitting in front of the computer can drain your energy and your brain. 3) There are health precautions. Most people develop migrain and feel nauseous. 4) The radiation from the computer screen can cause skin cancer. 5) RuneScape is an addicting game, but the graphics ****! 6) Its a source of advertisement and a way for Jagex to make money. The kids are tortured to force their parents to pay for membership or buy accounts/weapons from others. 7) There are users online who want to hack accounts of other players. They invite other players to their ‘private server’ which is set as a trap. Than, once the player logs in the private server, the username and password is in the possession of the scammer.

that is true however I like the graphics you might not but I do and as for cancer trust me you are more likely to get cancer from every day ctivities especially the sun in my country than from computer games and btw I have hear that w.O.W is even more addictive than runescape I personally played for 14 hours at one day but now I can leave it for a week of study =] so as u can see u might like w.O.W but I don't! so its differing oppinions that make us exist as humans but please have this answer in consideration and thank you for reading This list a fail list.

I still play runescape but it just seems to be getting a little dated. My favorite game now is probably runes of magic, kinda the same but i like it a bit more. It's rated onf the top 5 Free Games like Runescape on that website.

Imo if you don't like, don't play it no need to hate it haha

I tried it years ago, up to the level it started to cost money, then I just quit and never thought about the game.
