Comment: I started playing it 6 yrs ago, and I still enjoy playing it on occasion. Many people look at how poor its graphics are and cast it aside before even trying it, this is very immature in my opinion. The graphics may not be stunning, but the storyboard/gameplay and character interactions are almost perfect. About 6 months ago they did update it and take away a few very immportant pvp aspects, but hopfuly in good time it will fixed.
Stop being a noob and dissing it before trying, its the worlds biggest mmorpg at 135+ million players, with at least 100,000 on at any given time.
Graphics 5/10
Story 10/10
Pvp 8/10
Gameplay 10/10
Replay value 10/10

Comment: Really Graphics aside it is a huge game. yes i will agree with the statment that all you do is grind, but at the same time you can quest. The quests will help you level too. Overall its not bad, good if your bored. Oh and i agree there community is horrable, its really just a bunch of begging 10 year olds and 12 year olds telling you that your a noob.

Comment: Guys you cant shott runescape down when its doin nothing wrong. Heres a list of reasons runescape probably kicks the crap out of whatever mmo you play.
1.Unlike most mmo's out there you are not bound to any class whatsoever. Just like in life, you can be whatever yu wanna be, and do whatever you wanna do.
2. the subscription is only five frikin dollars a month, and its totally worth it. You get access to hundreds of new world weapons quests, possibilities, and an array of new skills.
3. This is one of the only game, in which the creators were actually smart enough to award players experience points by damage!!!! =)
So kill stealing, kill locking, kill whatever does not even matter , every1's getting thier fair share of xp!
4. With the release of runescpe hd, the graphics are actually tolerable, for most people.
5. Even if you still hate the graphics, they guarantee one thing: NO LAG!!!. Seriously.... I played runescape for an entire year, and I have yet to see any1 type the word "lagger". so no1 get mad over laggers, cuase there are none.
This altogether makes this game pretty frikin awesome. Any1 can have fun on runescape....literally! =D

Comment: Because this is in the free mmorpg category I will only judge it from a free point of view.
Graphics: 3/3, It is a 3D game with good quality backgrounds. The characters aren"t the best, but still worthy of full points.
Gameplay: 6/10, The gameplay is pretty simple, it is a point and click game. However, navigation is pretty hard to do, and it is a lengthy process that can only be shortened if you are a member, or rich.
Community: 2/10, The community is terrible. Everyone will call you a noob, even if you are a high level. There is pretty much no help whenever you need it.
Storyline: 4/10, This is also the quest category. The quests are pretty pathetic. They have you go a couple of places, but pretty much they are all disconnected with no relation to eachother. Members have the majority of the quests here, but still they don"t look like any fun on the other side.
Combat: 2/10, Combat is horrible. It is slow, you hit low numbers, and miss a ton. It can take up to 5 minutes to kill a simple cow in the beginning of the game.
Minigames: 5/10, Members have the most of this feature. Free people do have a couple minigames, such as the fist of gunthix, these minigames are fun, but do get old and boring after time.
leveling: 3/10, Leveling is pure grinding. This is a long and gruesome process. It can take you weeks of constant game play to get even 1 level. The only game that is slower in leveling is Maple Story.
Total: 25/63 = 39%
I think that this is a fun game though, even if I am giving it a poor rating. I have been playing it for over 4 years now, and it still has some interest to me. My opinion on membership is that it is a big waste of time and money. If you absolutley adore this game membership might be a good idea for you, but generally it just sucks your money dry.

Comment: let"s destroy this game in every way possible?
1.RuneScape is a massive 3d multiplayer adventure-can"t argue with that.
2.with monsters to kill- yeah, like 30, and decent fights at first, then horrible, people steal ur kill, and it"s annoying.
3.quests to complete- 20something that r good, but then u have to pay the rip-off fee of $5 per month to be a member for quests, the highlight of the game.
4.treasure to win-LOL!!! there"s plenty, if ur a member!
5.You control your own character who will improve and become more powerful the more you play-ummm... i feel like this might happen in another RPG that i played. (or was it every one?)
6. b4 they added all the c**p about the Grand Exchange, and the so-called "Wild" which is not wild anymore. it sucks.- umm, that"s the only reason i gave it a 2. it goes back to a 1 without it.
7.Gameplay=9/10 As i can see so far its a awsome browser game. It takes lots of grinding and training. There are alot of quests and things to do. You need to pay nearlly 6 bucks now but its cheap and worth it.-so, what job do u have that 6 bucks a month is cheap, for a waste like this. if being a member were free, i would rate this as an 8.
8. alright, this is my last point, the dreaded learning curve. u"ll be lost, and when u ask people with experience, they will be mean to u and most likely ignore u. but don"t be angry, because when ur more experienced, u"ll understand why (i hate them!!!)
overall, try it for a while, just quit before it gets boring, because it"s great at first, but without a membership, it"s boring. PVP would save it at the higher levels, but it"s poorly done. i"m gonna give it one more try. add me (the termntr) and PM me in-game. (now i"m gonna get hate PMs).

Comment: Very Very good. I've been playing sconce it first started, back the it was OK. I think its best was last year, b4 they added all the c**p about the Grand Exchange, and the so-called "Wild" which is not wild anymore. it sucks. Anyway, graphics are very nicely done, especially in HD, and really especially for a BLUj based java game. Anyway, worth taking a look at. Add me as ur friend if u want some help (Username: Connor4312).

Comment: This game has alot of ups but there are some really terrible downsides to this game. Here is my RAtings.
Gameplay=9/10 As i can see so far its a awsome browser game. It takes lots of grinding and training. There are alot of quests and things to do. You need to pay nearlly 6 bucks now but its cheap and worth it.
Community=6/10 The player commun isnt to bad you will find alot of people that are nice but dont date them its almost like having sex your own gender.
Graphics=7/10 Ok the new graphical update theyy had recently was amazing! Its not that they are the best graphics in the world there pretty shitty but for a java program? Thats amazing.
Combat=0/10 This is the worst part of any game u an ever see. The combat is hoorrable. The only thing thats gonna look good is a archer fight. Everything else is garbage,Melee combat makes E.T. the video game look like a fucking success.
Music=0/10 The music makes my ears bleed! If you ask me go listen to favriote music or somehting and turn the blowing music off.
Sounds=1/10 The sounds make me wanna go stick my ear next to a gun when its shooting bullets.
If you ever play this game turn off the sounds and music. Everything else besides combat is awsome!

Comment: ive played this game more than any other game.... for one reason, its alot less boring then other games, yes some times it gets boring but then i get back in too it. btw all you people that comment on the low effort jagex puts in to it have no clue what there talking about..... jagex makes it a browser game and if u notice there no long download... with that u cant make it a high graphic game. and 2 more things jagex makes it a browser game for one reason... so u cant hack... RUNESCAPE IS UN HACKABLE.. for all u people who try to hack it. also runescape updates more than anyother game ive seen... u call that no effort??
so anyways... very good game... im lvl 102 atm // game name: d0ubl3 t3am0 if u want to pm me =] thx

Comment: There was a point in my life, where I enjoyed this game quite much. However I seem to have matured quite a bit (Something the Community as a whole has to accomplish on their own). ANYWAY I did quit but i liked to return but they removed everything that made RuneScape such a great game.... Sure they got rid of annoying bots... that made the economy perfect. Now when return I am sad, and disgusted. No PK (BH is crap), No Trading (Merchanting D: ). So other than losing their business I might aswell slander their name aswell. Because they ruined! this game. And the proof is when i last made my comment on here it was nice, the average total rating was about 8. Now 500~ reviews later it is brought down to a mere 5.... lame? yes.

Comment: Ive played Runescape for about 3yrs. Good graphics,people are generally nice.But when they made it so you can only trade at a certain cap then it made the game suck. Having aquired a lot of skills and then to find out that overnight "to salvage the Runescape for future gamers" is a lot of crap. Its like Runescape is making us not work and then earn the big bucks from what we worked for.
I used to give this game a 10...now I give it a ZERO !!! THIS GAME SUCKS

Comment: Before I was stranded in a place where I was not allowed to download any internet games, I never gave Runescape a chance and dismissed it as one of the worst disasters to the online gaming history. Before that I was also looking everywhere in the internet for a game that lets you live a second life.
However, one day I found myself somewhere where I was not allowed to download internet games. Suddenly I decided to give this game a try. I was surprised! This game had so much for me to do that I didn"t know where to start. I could fish, fight, cast spells, bake bread, travel far and wide, hunt, farm, summon, pickpocket and even make my own handicraft. Here is my rating for the game:
Graphics: 5/10 (Admittedly could be improved but the new high detail mode is cool)
Game Content: 10/10 (So much to do)
Gameplay: 7/10 (Just point and click)
Community: 4/10 (They aren"t all bad but ks-ers are very common)
Quests: 8/10 (No longer kill X of this, collect X of that, these quests are actually quests that require you to go journeying around.)
Combat System: 1/10 (Yes, the combat system really stinks.)
Music: 6/10 (A bit monotonous, but otherwise quite ok)
PvP: 7/10 (Good Pvp system- Fist of Guthix, Duel Arena, Bounty Hunter)
Now, to contradict some of the reviews below me. Graphics make a good game huh? Well, graphics DO NOT make a good game. Take the game Cabal Online for instance. It has the best graphics I"ve seen in an MMO, but unfortunately it is also the worst MMO I"ve played. Don"t be really stupid and compare a BROWSER BASED, JAVA GAME THAT IS FREE TO PLAY with a GAME THAT YOU PAY 20 BUCKS A MONTH TO PLAY! Geezes, The stupidity of these people make me look away from the screen in disgust. Look at the review by the hater named "LostSeraph" and you know what I mean.

Comment: Ive been playing runescape for 3 years now and right now im pretty impressed about this game. Ive played other popular games such as silkroad, maplestory, WoW and realised that although the other 3 beat runescape in graphics all of them have some flaws. One of the unique things about runescape is that the makers earn money by membership alone. They do not sell coins for real life cash making runescape extremely fair (yes members can make faster money but they still cant do it in a few clicks).
The community is not the nicest but has few macros (due to the january updates). some cons include the fact that the graphics arnt too good and that the updates in january have done runescape good but also destroyed merchanting by 80%.

Comment: in my 2 years of playing runescape,i am impressed by the content. there are so many skills to train, monsters to battle, quests to acheive, and things to do. they even updated ther not so good graphics, into runescape hd. since december there are quite a few bad updates, and there is no pk and a dull battle system. but over all that, membership is only 5$ and offers duble the content! overall, this is an very popular game with over 8 million accounts, and makes this like a real, active game. i would rate this game 7.7 to be exact. this is a great time killer, it gets boring, but still few games can beat its gameplay.( my runescape usernAME IS jjdragon06.)

Comment: I only give it a 3 because of the effort that jagex put in to runescape.but this game doesn't put "fun" in rpgs. training your character is boring to level up and pvp is horrible without the wild,and thers constant updating.graphics matter alot to me and runescape when your a non member has the worst graphics..
3 for the effort

Comment: This game has amazing potential but Jagex wont let it be the game it could be. Everyone ses it has crappy graphics but c'mon, its a flash game for christ sakes. The thing that makes this game a 3 is that Jagex keeps making more and more rules, doesnt pay attention to the demands of the people, and there are many people who will try and scam you in trades and its very easy to get hacked. Ive played this game off and on for the past 7 years and even though the graphics keep getting better there is too many rules and regulations that pop up just about every day just because little kids keep complaining.
Also..the chat filtering system sucks. They are making this game waaay to sheltered.
On the upside there is ALOT of skills and quests so it never is a grind fest like all of the other mmos today.

Comment: Lostseraph, i have a few things to say about your review of runescape. i have played runescape since i was 10 in that 5 year period i have had the same number of accounts. 2 have been hacked and the rest i just got bored on! but never have i stopped playing. your review was not only inaccurate it was guilty of many of the things it accused the players of runescape of being, callous, unsociable and rude.
getting your character to a grand combat level of 58 in a matter of hours if not impressive. you either had 50 attack strength defence 40 magic (or none at all) 50 hp and 40 range (or none at all) or you were a pure and specialized in one of the stats mentioned above. i assume you were the first option. congratulations, on the face of it you got over half way to the top in 4 stats! however this is not true. exp wise you were barely 10% of the way to 99 (level 92 being the halfway point in exp) and you were among the worst players in runescape. there is a grind, my current account has 90 range and 70 def. 70 defence is not hard to get but i found it boring, however 90 range is much harder! if you get 90 range and spend more than a few hours on the game, make a few friends and get a few more of the very diverse set of levels i think you will find the game a little more satisfying. you are obviously a graphics purist, having said so yourself and therefore do not give much to the actual gameplay of a game.
your answer to the pets problem which you highlighted so viciously is summoning. a fun skill which involves you summoning your own large range of pets! oh dear, i think that debunks your rash assertion that runescape has a lack of pets.
i tried playing w0w and was instantly killed by a level 70 player harvesting around the graveyard area! as i couldnt turn off my PvP toggle without 5 minutes of no player - player combat he just kept on killing me. call him no life! i was trying to get to a level up for 1 hour but he just kept on killing me. i eventually gave up and went back to runescape where there are designated places for doing that.
if you get offended by someone who you dont even know calling you a "noob" you should log out and not come back. its not offensive and to all people who get offended by it.log out please! (watch skychi review on youtube).
your "review", or should i say rant was ill thought out and done, it seems, within minutes and with little experience of the game so in future please think more before you open your mouth and it will do yourself, alot of good.

Comment: 6(Fair) It would of been a 7 if the graphics where the old one cause that's what made runescape unique was the bad graphics.
I'm rating it kinda low I guess cause even with the new graphic update it still don't change the fact that the game sucks or not. No offense but this game is no 10/10 or 9/10 first of all the gameplay has to be the weakest thing I had ever seen in all MMORPG. Jagex also keeps making the game lamer pretty soon they will probaly go bankrupt from people quiting. They already lost alot of money. To be honest the new graphics look like a kiddie show now like those clay figure cartoons like bob the builder. It also reminds me of legos as well. Also people are freaking rude in the game everywhere you go you hear the word that people with no life say is " Noob ". I was a lvl 97 till they ruined some of the Pvp. Now they made almost all the good Pvp non members so there is no reason to pay for this game anymore for me. Also I can name Super Nentindo games that were more addicting than this. Go ahead make a review complaining to me it just makes you look dumb. Talking trash on the internet gets you nowhere.

Comment: Ok 1st off this game truly is worthy of a +1,000.99 rating. It has a wide variety of clothing, weapons, skills, minigames, monsters, quests, and areas. PvP used to be excellent in the wild but bountyhunter is not so bad.... and the new HD graphics are awsome. The occasional events are also awsome. In addition, being a member makes the game 1,000 times better. Runescape will continue to improve periodicly.

Comment: as i said the community IS horrible
and i apologize if i was biased
but that doesn't give you the right to flame....
and since when hasn't a writer/reporter haven't been biased???
there is always stereotypical people in our world
those who try to dictate other people's actions; like you....
there are also alot of whiney people who thinks the world revolves around them.....
and FYI zekker3000 i write many game reviews
for gamefaqs and gamespot under other pseudonyms
and most people actually agreed with me
also you gave 3 PROS and 7 CONS
therefore you should actually RATE RUNESCAPE a 3 instead of a 5
please make coherent statments next time

Comment: FIRST OFF THE BAT I WANNA SAY Lostserapah your a fanboy and there for you are not allowed to review anymore sine ur only inclined 2 a few games which you only refree to instead of showing a wide array of gamming so go and to the corner.
The graphics have improved and are good for a BROWSER based MMORPG the picture above does not do justice ANYMORE
Ill Make this quick:
Pros:
Free account will allow u to access a good chunck of the game
Great graphics for the fact hat is made using JAVA so dont expect WoW, Guild Wars, Rappelz quatiliy but its still good
There are NO classes u make ur own using skills you can lvl up so u can make a Tank mage or spell warrior or just pure wizard or archer and more
Community can be nice sometimes
Cons:
$5 for a membership which unlocks the whole game for u and better weapons, armor, spells, etc the whole $5 deal isnt bad but it just doesnt seem worth it TO ME maybe to you though if u enjoy it
LOTS AND LOTS OF GRINDING personal i prefree a little grind but not much as it give you some skills can take a long long time to lvl up at higher lvls
community is very selfish mainly calling low lvls noobs and seems to be made up of 8-12 year olds with a few adults an older teens
not much inventory room for mining items u can only hold like 30 items so mining becomes a real hassale
combat has improve you hit more often but its basicly turnbased but not quite
music is not great but thy do give u a large list of songs to choose from even if its not great
sounds is very bad sounds like snapping sticks when u strike a foe and "loooops' when u miss
not a chatty community/ lots of scammers

Comment: I pity you all.....seriously.....
this game isn't a Free to Play game
if you have to pay for memberships then its not free to play
i doubt children has good to great
socio-economic standing because they can't afford WoW or Lineage 2 or even Final Fantasy....
even though the memberships are optional this game makes it a have to for those players that want to best equipment
f2p games are more like Shaiya, Rappelz, CABAL online and Maplestory where the programers get revenue by cash shops....
(Shaiya, and Rappelz are Korean and f2p who said Korean programers charge alot just to play???
that additude is stereotype)
those are optional and THOSE cash shops aren't loaded with UBER gear... cash shops only gives items such as EXP stones Resurrection Runes etc.
now that thats out of the way....
let's begin on the rating i gave this "game"
if it can pass off as one....
Gameplay 0/10
not much to comment on...
its just another faliure rpg except its worldwide
some say its bot free or even hacker free....
no game is bot free or hacker free...
who says people can only hack when you give out their E-mail address/account name and password???
we live in the new age.....
and if i recall correctly Game Masters/administrators keep a LOG BOOK
and in that LOG BOOK ALL IN-GAME DATA is there
so that means your IP address, account name/password, date of log-ins and every other data sent from their mainframe to your computer
what does that have to do with hackers???
it means they already know EVERYTHING about your account, that means they can spike your account and the next time yu log in they'll get your password so spare me the crap about that stuff
hackers will know everything...your lvl, your character,
including where you live
(because of you IP address)
DON'T even joke around about firewalls
most firewalls and anti-viruses have the same detection code used to filter out viruses and hackers....
manipulation of such data is easy....
Community 0/10
not really that great no one around to assist other players
"riots" on the forums etc.
also, for those that contradicted themselves....
saying that the community was great but also mentioning that high lvl players calling others "noobs" community rating for this is 0/10
someone said that people love each other in RS
bullshit
it's just another phedophile behind the monitor seducing children happens very often in our world
not that great overall for community because of children trying to act mature, sexy, and cool.
QUIT DELUDING yourselves live your life in the real world
Graphics 0/10
horrible as i am a huge fan of graphics
heck when i first tried this game i thought my NVIDIA GeForce driver Crashed....now how am i going to play Rappelz....
at the time in 2001 graphics for RS would have had great reviews but later on those graphics that were good are now horrible....
time changes and will keep on changeing
just adapt to it....
Sound 0/10
not even remotly close to "real life stimulation"
Music 0/10
monotoned....turn it off......
INNOVATION 0/10
just another shit MMORPG basically the exact game play as any other rpg
SKILLS:
nothing flashy
if you're interested in skills then i suggest Shaiya, Rappelz, Lineage 2, WoW and Cabal
CLASSES:
not much variety
basically 4 classes each with their own set of skills
games such as Lineage, EQ and Rappelz have a greater variety of classes ranging from 27-36 different classes and over 100 different skills
CUSTOMIZATION:
nothing new or innovative
characters lack gender distinction, realism and feeling
nad to those who run around saying do you want to be my GF/BF GET A LIFE...
seriously that is how people get sexually assaulted
and to those who said "your hot"
trust me you have never seen "hot animations"
try looking at Shaiya/Rappelz/Lineage and compare to females from there to RS
just to say....
every person in RS look the same
i can't even tell the difference between males and females
DIFFICULTY SETTING:
horrible quick and easy GRIND fest
i lvled up to 58 in hours
not good for HARDCORE gamers such as myself
PETS:
not that realistic
pain in the ass to take care of
not much variety
i recomend Rappelz if you love PETS
Controls 0/10
no hotkeys
no wasd movement
basic mouse control that annoys me
OVERALL RATING 0/10
good for the softcore childish gamers with a lot of time on their hands....
not to mention gamers that are senile
basically at the time in 2001 it was good
but it sucks ass now
but lineage is created in 1998; older then this game and it has PWNAGE graphics and gameplay
AUTHORS NOTES:
recommended for children ages 5-10 with $5 dollars in theirpockets
if parents are looking for a ACTUAL Free to Play
game then i suggest Maplestory
and if parents permits their child to play Rated PG-13 games....
they can play Rappelz or Shaiya

Comment: I've played this game awhile and to tell you teh truth, it's probably the best browser MMORPG out there, and the pay to play option is only $5 a month, unlike some other games -*coughworldofwarcraftcough*-... Also, that pic up there is in the old graphics, most newer computers can now use a newer version of the graphics, which are amazingly good for a browser game like this. Quests are great, communities OK, and its not always grinding,lots of stuff to do, unfortunately, jagex have done some things i don't like and i doubt i could speak my mind on these forums without getting in trouble or whatever.

Comment: ok first of all, for all you people nocking java its a very powerfull language now adays, the reason runescapes graphics are so bad is cause its a browser. Now that i got that off runescape is an average game i played for like 1 month, its not a hardcore game but its alright especially for the youngsters.
Now you all who have given them a try KNOW that the quests are one of a kind. They are fun interesting and everyone is different.
The only reason i give this game a 5 is cause it gets boring to quickly.

Comment: This game is enjoyable for those who want a relaxing and low intensity game. It's simple and doesn't require lightning-quick reflexes or concentration. I like to play this in between more intense MMORPGs.
There is a lot to do in this game, even for free members. There are many skills, tons of goods to make and sell, and a lot of spells to cast. If you get bored doing one task, you can easily switch to another.
The one thing that brings me into this game is the ability to create something from nothing. You can do more than just kill monsters all the time. You can make goods and sell them. I find this satisfying.
This is only a browser and Java-based game, so commenting on its graphics is unfair. The graphical update looks impressive, but the still less-textured character models look odd against it. Also, the 2d images of the items could be a lot better. They look dull and ugly. If they want a real graphical update, they should redraw the 2d images.
The sounds are terrible. Is this the best they can do for Java? I've heard better sounds. The music is nicely composed, but its MIDI-like sound makes it annoying after a few minutes of listening.
As with all other MMORPGs, there are arrogant and juvenile players running their mouths all the time. I see the word "Noob" several times during my play sessions. Unfortunately, those who use it don't quite grasp the meaning of it. "Noob" means new player, yet most of the time people use it to describe those who have a lower combat level. A low combat level has nothing to do with how long one has been playing.
There are also many beggars who constantly ask for free stuff and gold. This is ridiculous, because money is not difficult to make. They shouldn't be playing this game if they are too lazy to train in skills which require no actual skill at all to do.
If you ignore the beggars and jerks, there are actually some friendly and intelligent people in the crowds.
I do not enjoy fighting. It's not exciting or thrilling like it should be. Fighting against monsters is no different than training another skill, except luck plays a big factor in how quickly you kill the monster. You get EXP for each hit you land on the monster, about 4 EXP times the amount of damage you land.
Magic spices up things a little bit by providing something else to watch than you poking the monster. You can use missle spells to hit enemies that can't reach you, teleport, and turn items into gold. To cast spells, you need to be carrying the required amount of runes. Runes can be bought, crafted, or dropped from monsters. Buying runes is the easiest thing to do, so being a mage is rather expensive.
If you want a simple, relaxing, and versatile game that's easy to pick up and play, I highly recommend this. If you prefer more intense, immersive, and challenging games, then look elsewhere because this game will not satisfy you.

Comment: I have played for 4 years, and I'd like to quote something someone said a little ways down... "Ive seen other rpgs that are 3d with better graphics than Runescape", there's a reason you've seen 3D games with better graphics than runescape, want to know that reason? It's because runescape is TWO DIMENSIONAL.
As for those who were looking for cheats for runescape, there are none, there are strategies for making money, but not cheats, it's a mmorpg people, do you really think they'd put cheats in the game? Most of you probably don't even know what they're there for, they're there because the makers of the game put them there to do things faster and easier for themselves and didn't take them out (most of the time, sometimes they just put them there for it to be easier for you, as long as you figure out the word or phrase, there are other reasons but imo those are the two main ones)
A good way now-a-days to make money is getting your mining to level 30, and mining pure essence, it sells for about 150-160 gp each, which is around 4000 gp per inventory
Another way is to get your woodcutting to level 60 and chopping yews, they give about 10,000 per full inventory
Fishing and cooking is a really good way to make money when you get high enough to fish and cook sharks (It's 72 fishing I believe to fish them, not sure what the cooking is, I don't feel like pulling up runescape right now...) Cooked shark sells for about 900-1000gp a piece so that's close to 30,000 you're making there.
For those who "claim" they've been hacked, do you want to know how you get hacked? It's not from someone just randomly going "oh! I think I'm going to jump on my computer and hack this person that I don't even know!" It"s from morons that go onto cheat sites for runescape and do stupid things like sending their password and player name to someone in an email so they can get "100 party hats of whatever color you want" and someone taking your things (which I believe has been quite well fixed since you can"t trade more than 3000 gp worth of items unless you have a lot of quest points) another way is when someone tells you "I know how to get your stats to 90, but I'm not going to tell you, just give me your password and I'll get on and do it for you" or how about, the people that are related to moderators that have lots of items that their moderator friends get them for free, and will be nice enough to give stuff to you, all you have to do is give your account name and password, oh, and always be sure that it is at least above level 50, no sense in giving free party hats to a level 5, let me see here, the first thing I see wrong with this is um, why would you need the password? If it's a moderator, they already have a record of all the stored passwords for your account...second, a moderator, would be fired for doing something like that, they're not allowed to, some people can pick up skyware and not realize it, and spyware doesn't come from sitting on msn or yahoo, or google my friends... I think you all have gotten enough off of this little... speach, good day, and have fun. Oh, by the way, if you don't believe '"ve been playing for 4 years, add me, my name is mr.death23, I'll show you my yoyo...

Comment: i got to combat level 40 in this game, and i quit, cos there was nothing left for me to do cos im not a member, there was one final quest, the dragon quest to do and i just couldnt be bothered cos i was so bored of the game! i dont care about the graphics, they're fine for a browser game, but the game is just SO BORING for a free player, i tried to go on it again from time to time, but it was just boring roaming from place to place training my skills, a complete grindfest to me, this was cos i didnt have the FUN skills to train, fletching, summoning, hunting, construction, farming, thieving sound fun, but all these were only for members :(
so if you are a free player, there are two options for you, quit or become a member

Comment: PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW,
I have been playing runescape for a long time now and it is a very good game. Many people think it is rubbish because of its graphics. But, Graphics are not everything.
Also, the picture shown above needs to be updated. Recently Jagex reworked runescape and it is now called Runescape HD. The graphics are now a lot better. Now wow, last chaos and shadowbane have great graphics, but for a game that runs only on java, has no complex download instructions, is run via your web browser, and has a step by step tutorial so that you know how to play, is pretty good.
There is a member's area of runescape but this is completely optional. The free area is more then enough to start off runescape.
Not only that but combat is one of several skills available. Runecraft, Fletching, Summoning, Hunting, Construction (House Building), Farming, Thieving, Crafting and many more.
Give the game a try,you may even like it.
Pros.
Not just a game revolved around combat
Friendly Community who are always willing to help
Low Budget, i.e. Free
Graphics, Recently reworked.
Membership is cheap to purchase and has huge extras.
Lvling up can be fast.
No tedious download and installation times
Cons
Graphics are not as good as some MMORPGs
Can be frustrating if you are not a patient person.
Some good features are only available when you purchase membership.
But, don't take my word for it. This is just my opinion, go on give it a try!

Comment: This game is one of the best I ever played. I have tried all the MMORPG i could get my hands on, and A LOT of them are just "play-to-kill".
Firstly, if anyone only cares about graphics, well they are fools. In a MMORPG it's not the graphics that count, but the gameplay, and the quests. Also the fun you have playing the game.
Runescape maybe has poor graphics compared to Granado Espada, Lost Chaos, WoW, Rappelz etc, but it holds advantages. It's size is only a few MB, and it loads instantly. You don't even have to download it. It also never bugs, or rarely, and when it does, its minor bugs.
Now, Runescape can be very addictive. It's also just as a second life, perfect to relax and to really have fun! The game play is also one of the bests too. I agree though, clicking for moving can get boring and annoying.
Runescape has a wonderful killing system too. In many games such as Maple Story and Flyff, you will die if you don't watch when you attack. In runescape, you can attack a monster and go prepare your coffee, you won't die. (That's if your 1 lvl higher then the monster, and even if you're lower, you will still survive.) For some ppl it may be annoying to only hit 1 to 11 damage. It didn't bother me that much, and you still lvl fast enough. In other games you need to at least be 10 lvls higher then the monsters to actually beat them without a scratch...
Runescape owns all the other games because of it's quests. The quests are interesting, they have a plot, and it's not only to kill a number of monsters or to collect a number of items. They are really fun to do, and you get cool prizes and exp.
Plus, in Runescape you must do your own food by starting a fire, killing something and get wood logs. You do everything yourself! As I said before, it's as a second life! It really keeps you busy, and theres so much things to do you don't know what to start with. There are also A LOT kickass skills to master. Summoning, hunting and slaying are one of those. The money is really easy to get too, for those who know how to do it! ;)
There's also an IMMENSE territory to explore! I am lvl 70 and yet I haven't explored everything in only one year.
Lastly, you pay only 5 dollars for A MONTH! While for games such as Wow (who really aren't worth it) are 15$ a month....
For those you are sissies and care only about graphics, pvp killing and only lvl up to be the best go play some other games which are made of those things. But for those who want to enjoy a simple but amazing game go play runescape. It may seem boring for those who played games such as Granado Espada but even I have played it and I prefer Runescape.
Everybody has his own opinion, but I think Runescape is really worth your money and time. It will get boring playing only in the free world, but at least try the member world for a month. It's so cheap. You''l change your opinion right away.

Comment: People seem to love it or hate it. I like it and it can be addictive.
I think the new high detail graphics are a big improvement. You can do full screen now. I can fill both monitors on my dual screen setup. Its not near as good as graphics on Farcry or Crysis, but way better than the tiny little screen shot above(at the time of writing this).
Ok, so you just point and click, that can get boring. But then there are so many skills to train, it feels like your actualy doing something different. It would be cooler to have some more complex moves. I think in time they will do it because they keep making improvements.
I think Jagex does listen to players suggestions. They made a couple unpopular decisions but the changes did have some pluses. Like yesterday I bought a dragon axe at the Grand Exchange. Before the GE, it might have taken days to find a seller.
There are to many rude jerks playing sometimes but lots of cool people to. You can block the jerks and add friends to your friends list.
There is strategy because as you level up old methods become less effective and you have to learn new ways of training.
I like that the game has an actual supply/demand economy.
O yea, you can die and lose items that took dozens of hours to earn. But that adds intensity to the game. There are also safe mini games available to play and not lose anything if you die.
I was amused yesterday when a player anounced he made his first million gold pieces. Even though I"m on 20Mil+ I said "Grats". I know some players have made 100Mil+. I remember my first million, it felt good. Thought I"d never get there.
Member 2 years now, Level 93, Yea I wasted lots of time but the point is to forget about school or work a few hours a week. Its usualy better than whats on TV.

Comment: This game is for those at home looking for a free, time wasteing game. Im not saying thats a bad thing, just the opposite. While World of Warcraft can have its fling sometimes, RuneScape is one of those games which you can come back to. The actual graphics arent that bad; but would be for those who jsut got bored from "WoW" and logged on to this virtual fantasy. I had played the week after the Modern Version was released. I found the Classics odd looking and I quit on sight... The one thing I cannot stand about this game is some drunk a-hole starting calling the New Players (3-10) Noobs... Then Nub was created and then it started when if somebody asked for money as they were about to level to rune level, (mostly in the tiems before that annoying money scale) the player walking around just says... Noobie!!! and just Ignores the person...
I find this game fun to have a Go at when you are 10-14. But those who have rich (over-achieving workers) parents who will just say yes to anything I.E.: Mom/Dad can I "YES! now go away im counting my gold".. ok i was going to ask for a car... "only? why dont you ask for something more worth it... like caviar"
The population of this medieval game is 300,000+ players online at a time, Though the rating would be 60% Boys, 30% Girls, 10% Boys who make girl chars because they want money (gp, k m).

Comment: This game stinks!I played it for like 1 week and I noticed that this game 100% sucks!Its a big lump of garbage!A lame excuse for a game!This is why:
Graphics:LAME,POOR,AWFUL
Music:POOR
Combat:EXTREMELY UNREALISTIC!I fully hit a monster and 0 damage like WTH!Just splash of paint above monsters/characters showing a number and that's all.
PVP:Only in those friggin lame minigames.
Comunity:THE WORST OF ALL!Overrun by jerky 8 to 10 year olds looking for girlfriends/boyfriends and calling you names just because you are a new to the game.
Other stuff:
1:It has a free version that totally sucks with limited features forcing you to pay in order to have fun!
2:Everyone looks,walks,runs,fights like a RETARD and most probably is since they play this garbage!
3:Armor and weapons look the same only the color and name is different!You have to PAY to have a 1/100 chance to get different rare(such as dragon items which look a bit different)items since the free version is so lame and limited features.
4:There are no fight skills you just go to a monster and start slashing or bashing over and over again takes ages!
5:That darn screen is soooooo small I can't see a thing!And above all you have to click to do anything!
I have read most reviews and gathered almost everything so you don't have to bother reading like 1000 comments.Oh and my rating:
0 for EVERYTHING!I feel sorry too for all the thousands of pepole falling into this so called 'game' and wasting a big chunk of their lives!

Comment: all the people who gave runescape a 0 r stupid litte noobs that dident even try to finish the tutorial. now runescape had a graphics update now it has ps2 like graphics thats pretty good for a free game.here r 10 reasons y it is one of the best games on the enthernet:
1:great graphics (for the ppl who played runescape like once last year try runescape again you will see the awsom graphics)
2:huge world
3:awsom mini games
4:great communite
5:over 150 quest
6: 26 skills
7:one of the best pvp games
8:alot of ways to make money
9:a ton of monsters and boss monsters
10:tons of wepons and armor
but there r some things on there that make runescape not that fun such as:
once you get to a higher lvl u have to beg ur parrents to have members only 5$ not alot
and alot of ppl on there r mean and make fun of u for being a low lvl.
and last u have to click to where u want to go.
but still runescape is an awsom game so that is y i give it a 9

Comment: Anyone who says "this game is good" has their heads up their butt about what real games are all about. I"m more embarrassed about calling it a "game" to begin with!
For graphics using Java, this game looks great... providing that you are under the age of Twelve.
Everyone looks retarded and it"s virtually impossible to look anywhere near manly. Or for girls to look minorly attractive... but seeing that this game is ment for anyone with a mental disorder or under 12, that is hardly an arguement at all.
The music is all MIDI. If you don"t know what MIDI type of music is, think of your annoying cell phone that you bought during 1996 - 2000. There is no rythem and makes the game monotone. But everyone else listens to their emo music instead of the real music (which tells the music department of Jagex that they"re doing a grade-A job).
The game has lowered its standards during the years. While other games have PvP zones and fun stuff like that, Jagex turned away saying "many other RPG are turing away from kill and looting" like a bunch of pansies. The main PvP (and only) in runescape has been eliminated. Meaning the only Player-Player interaction you get is cybering, chatting, trading, and being horribly annoying.
The game has a Free version that sucks ass. You are completely limited to what you can do and what you can fight. Along with that, since it"s free, you get a majority of dumbasses trying to do stupid things. I cannot argue with that because if the game is being played free, you literally got nothing to lose. They"d do things like beg, ask for a girlfriend or boyfriend, continuous begging, stalk, try to make the game harder for others purposely. In other words, this is a giant playground for the common pedophile.
The combat system is pathetic. The damage you inflict is all single digit numbers (1,2,3,4,5,etc.) and if you endure the game long enough, you move on the double digit numbers (10, 11). This makes the game seriously boring.
Your magic doesn"t run off a recharging source or anything. You have to do a LONG boring process to gather the items (note that I used plural for "items") needed to cast a FEW spells. And the best part of this stupid magic system is that sometimes magic spells would fail. But the magic system is not much to worry about. There are MANY low-lives out there making the tools for you, you just need to have the cash.
Along with lowering the standards, this makes the game incredibly easy to start out. If you go into the two "Stronghold" areas of the game, and successfully complete it, you"ll obtain the best type of boots and gloves in the game AND 15,000gp (which is good enough to get you some good armor). What"s wrong with that? Because of the free 15,000gp, the symbolism of having certain armor has been distorted.
This game is a waste of time. I wouldn"t recommend this game if you graduated elementry school. If you have a larger, more vulgar vocabulary, this game also isn"t for you because you"ll have a hard time trying to get your messages across the idiot-filter that"ll "bleep" out words like "as", and "poof", and many other simple words.
This game isn"t any better as a member.... Really.
This game no rating from me. And by no rating, I mean a complete Zero.

Comment: Seriously. This game is pathetic. Even the HD update is terrible. The fanboys that say Runescape is good, IT IS NOT. Because it has a PvP system does not mean it is good. Because you can chop down trees does not mean it is good. Because it has Castle Wars does not mean it is good. IT IS HORRIBLE. EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE GAME IS TRASH. Yes, I have played runescape for 3 years, I have a level 59 who was banned because of the overpowered filtering.
Runescape Pros:
A large amount of players.
Cheap members.
Some good quests.
Runescape Cons:
Bad community, ranges from five year olds that can"t use a keyboard correctly to 50 year old pedophiles.
Terrible PvP.
Graphics are still epic fail.
All you do is click.
Beggars.
Hackers.
Overpowered filtering.
Bad animations.
Pathetic skills.
Overall: 0/10.
Compare WoW to Runescape. Runescape looks like garbage, while WoW is a human picking it up and throwing it in the trash, then spraying some nice Vanilla scented Glade air freshener around it.

Comment: This game is best described as generic. Everything from graphics to the community is generic.
F2P doesn"t have much to offer. In fact, your best option is to pick a universal name out and start as a female character. Why? Because dumbasses worldwide would think your character is "hot" and would provide free items if you type "lol" or "teehee" a lot. If you wanted to become a pedophile, this is your place to shine.
As a member, the game steadily rolls downhill with the bonus of visiting the Runescape forums. Starting at the forums, everyone is an idiot. There are either complainers who want to literally start "riots" for everything or brown nose wannabe moderators who think they"ll have a chance if they type in proper english and insert a smiley after every paragraph. :)
Seriously, that is annoying.
Gameplay, when you become a member, is not much different and people certainly do NOT change. You still get the beggers and the bums. There is no player interaction other then chatting or the occational 9 cheap minigames Runescape has to offer.
You"d be surprised that even Members, players that PAY Jagex, try to riot saying stuff like they have a say in the game. If you play the game, I"ll let you in on a little secret...
You have no say. It isn"t a democracy. Shut up and don"t waste your time.
And you meet a lot of boring assholes in-game. People who enjoy clicking on trees, constantly, to chop them down. People who click on water and watch for about five minutes to catch a few fish (no fancy animation either). But the worst comes to people who love to train "Firemaking", you know... making a campfire.... over.. and over again.
You"ll literally see lines of campfire from people training this retarded skills. I see it this way: You already lit one, be happy with that.
And it"s all for a dumbass cape that proves you wasted your time. You get nothing special for maxing out a skill. No new abilities and the cape isn"t free.
The game is fun for a while... and gets boring fast. You"ll often ask yourself "what should I do now?"
This game is retarded beyond all means. If you like bullshit drama, join Runescape and become a member. You"ll have fun arguing against empty personalities, freaks who know a little too much about the game, and crybabies who cry about everything you have to say, especially if you have an opinion.

Comment: Why is this game so universally hated? It's better than many people think though I do agree it has a few flaws.
First, The PVP and staking were taken out of the game and replaced with lesser features such as "Revenants" and Bounty hunter, which both suck.
However, this also clamps down on luring and scamming, so it's a *small* plus.
Second, Mods are far and few. I have seen few mods in the 2 years I have played this game.
Third, Resources are a tire to gather. I will admit that mining, fishing and woodcutting need updates BAD. You just click and watch. The only good thing to happen to these skills is less bots are here now to take the trees, rocks etc. from you. (Bots are virtually nonexistant now!)
Fourth, Combat is lackluster til you get to the high levels. At very high levels it gain alot of strategy.
The good:
F2p is far more open and large now. Heck, it always trumphed other games. Ever played a korean MMO? They charge insane rates for inane games! Anyone saying F2p is less than P2P is right....Duh! Paying more = more stuff in almost every business equation.
Everything is good when you pay.

Comment: Incredible game, I really love it and it's the best MMORPG in the world for a few reasons: Ultimate PvP in castle wars, very classical, amazing I loved it so much. Graphics are simple, no lag, no bugs, very beautiful. There's an endless amount of quests to benefit from. Unlimited crafting: (easy to get into) smithing, mining, wood cuttins, get into this game it's F2P.

Comment: ok alot of people bash this game as well as alot of people are only f2p players on a standing
f2p= only good until your f2p quests are done
p2p= realy fun most people say that the click to do all is really crap on the f2p servers however as a member you have alot more things to do with your click ;)
as far as other things death = a pain but get over it ;)if your afraid to die then simply equip low cost armor when you are unsure if your going to be safe or not
the pop out and kill you mobs (random events) are also a pain but i understand why runescape added them its to cut down the number of botters and the players that do kill them sometimes receives good rewards
pvp is unbalanced because of pures? get over that too =) pures are easy to kill just get a high leveled prayer and theyll never kill you ;o they wont counter prayer because pures only go after one combat type
not enough money? have you tried reading guides :p most target new players and with the new grand exchange theres no excuse for being poor or getting scammed unless you trade item for item =).. even without any side professions its still possible to make good money infact ive made about 200k on a test char by only selling cow hides... by the time i reached combat lvl 20 =P 200k buys full rune and i did it without help from another char? why cant you lazy people =)
scammers all over? i can understand this one but you really have to be an idiot to fall for their pranks especially since theyve been doing most of it for years now
boring because you can solo the whole game? another reason why your wrong =) although some people can solo it thats just the f2p worlds most of the stronger monsters take a group or more to kill on the p2p servers and some minigames require teamwork
p2p players get all the features? well why should you your not paying runescape are you? as far as not having a credit card to pay the game people have written guides on getting runescape without a credit card in fact its all over youtube ;)(i would recommend associatedcontent for writers, and buxto for people who are really good about getting referals)
as far as this game getting old have you thought of sleeping in the past 24 hours? maybe a break from the game for about a week up to a year might help =P also if its that bad why play it most people i know say its bad but the fact is most people go from this game to another game that other game gets old and guess what? THERE BACK PLAYING RUNESCAPE !!
as far as nothing to do but grind? have you thought about watching tv while cutting a tree or mining for awhile... also note that if you have friends there are some f2p minigames you can do (clan wars) for people with no friends (bounty hunter) (fist of guthix) (party room) and a few more
so before you complain about how bad this game is next time think about a few things?
are you a f2p member or a p2p member
is your friends list empty?
are you only grinding and not doing minigames(f2p people have some mini games too!! such as fist of guthix, bounty hunter, clan wars, party room)
when was the last time you took a nap =P
was your character messed up (i know mine is slightly ;p)

Comment: Ahh runecape..
This game, some say it is the worst thing ever, some say its one of the best. I (Used) to have a combat level 80 guy, i was a member, this game truly was FUN. The quests, I wish other Mmorpg's could have quests like RS (That arent at level 20 million), they were fun, they were long, and they were rewarding. But then i found the problem, which was that it was so repetative, you mine ore by clicking on it, waiting for it to respawn, then click again, same with fishing, woodcutting, firemaking, and all of the other gathering proffesions, the ones where you actually make stuff, are the same thing, you click on what you want to make, how many u want to make, then you wait. The combat, is...just...boring, you have 4 types of attacks they each raise you skill differently. PvP was recently removed from the wilderness, and put into ONLY some stupid "Bounty hunter" minigame.
However, they are yet to fix the worst part of runescape.......
WHEN YOU GET KILLED! Ok, this is an MMOrpg, you bound to die, but the penaltyies in RS are really bad, you lose ALL of you items except 3, and these are the "Most valuable" items, this means that it is valued by how much they sell at the general store. THAT SUCKS. All of the rare holiday items sell for millions of RS gold, but sell to the general store for 1 money!! And any items that stack are taken as well, do you know what that means?? YOU LOSE ALL OF YOU MONEY YOU HAVE ON YOU!!!!! This game is great if you just want to play something for a little. But dont pay for it. Speaking of which, (Speaking as a former member) very,very,VERY little of the map and content is availible for non-members. Oh, and there is the fact that nearly HALF the skills are members only, and HALF the stuff you can make with the non-members skills is MEMBERS ONLY!
Thank you, i hope this review helps

Comment: um well...
there are 1106 reviews on this game, so no need to add anything right? Man, this game is conterviersial, so i prepare to face many flames and hate mail for this review...
Sorry all you lovers, but runescape SUCKS. Why?
Ahem... in case you are wondering i played for more than week.. I came back to it after the graphics were "updated" and all it did was make the game look the same, they just changed how the website and opening login screen looked, nothing else. Btw, im not a graphix fan, im okay with bad garphics(think Zelda.) But Runescape, i mean, i cant even see wether im hitting that tree or or the air! Come on! I ve seen other rpgs that are 3d with better graphics than Runescape. But im not here to rant about the graphics.
I tried this game, i really did. I REALLY treid to look past the graphics, i really did. I just coudnt. The gameplay is horrendous. 1 dmg? wth??
The combat is something like splashing paint upon one another, absoulutely no animations involved other than ur character taking a step forward, and having a little splash of paint pop up on the other monster, and repeat scene x200000000.....
I treid people, i really did, i just got sick of it and relized that i had just wasted a week of my life on this worthless excuse for an mmorpg.

Comment: Haha, you guys are rating this game cuz mostly of it"s graphics.. who the hell cares about that crap. I really don"t give a damn about the graphics, and to be honest, I think the new graphics are even worse and i quit cuz of that. Anyways, I played this game for about 3 years, and it was really fun. Level 115 combat. For a lot of you f2p players, become a member for a month or so and experience the awesomeness of being a member. You get so much more in members than being free-to-play.

Comment: i dont care about the graphics of a game, but i dont lik this game because its SO BORING! i admit i was a free player (maybe it will be a bit better if i paid?), anyway this game is full of the grind that plagues many games that could have been good, but the grind isnt a good grind lik maplestory grind which is actually a fun grind, but a bad grind which gets REALLY boring!
the music is also bad
the graphics are bad, which i dont care about, though i wish the game screen could be bigger, its tiny compared to other game screens
the gameplay is good, but boring
the combat system is unique, especially with the runes, but i dont lik it, ESPECIALLY THEM STOOPID RUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all in all, i give it a 3

Comment: kinda fun until u find games that are way better. the community is horrid and is run by 8 year olds the graphics r horrible even for browser based attack system is horrible and the "free version" is so limited u basically have to get members to even enjoy it a little bit not to mention they no have pk which makes the game suckish and pointless combat wise in free world. overall id say
graphics: 2
gameplay: 3
questing: 0
community:1
go find a different game and i feel sorry for the people trapped in this absolute load of trash called runescape which u r basically forced to no life in to get anywhere.

Comment: Ok, concerning Residence of Evil and Dill1015. Residence said that wow is for nerdy jerks. Don’t be jealous that they can afford it.
Dill1015, you said that there isn’t such a bad community, I have never seen the word “noob” used so often. People literally come up to you and call you a noob. I suppose it is a browser based game but the graphics are total trash. The supposed “actual conversation” is just writing that goes on and on, not actual talking. The cutscenes also look bad.
One of then worst parts of this “game” is th fighting. The little character literally just stands there stiffly moving his/her arm. I can understand a little 7-10 yr old playing but seriously, the game sucks. Overall:
* community: 2 (5 if you’re a member)
* graphics: 1
*value: 10 (its free, but there are many other free mmorpg’s that you can download that have decent graphics)
* Difficulty: 1 (don’t even have to think when doing quests)
* sound: 0, (trash as)

world of warcraft= a bunch of nerdy jerks
runescape= decent community and an all around better game to play.

Comment: What can I say about Runescape that hasn't been said? Hmmmmmm, it is a good game with very good gameplay, but mediocre graphics. Well I can go into this, it is very very very awesome!!!!!!!!!! The world is huge(well if ur a member, but its worth 5 bucks a month) plenty of things to do, and truly magnificant quests. I'll be honest with you the quests in RS can't be beat, hands down. They have full cutscenes and actual conversations and are diverse. In one quest you could be helping alchemists finish their mysterious tower, in another u could be helping gnomes in their war against an army of evil people. The graphics will be improved in July, and I've seen some screens, well they look awesome!

Comment: In my opinion Runescape is a briliant game/ I'm not a geek who plays 24/7 or anything, I just enjoy the game and play it when ever I have time not doing other important things. I reccomend this game to anybody any age, the picture above is about 1 year old and within the next 3 weeks it is not going to look anything like that so if you think it looks bad trust me soon it won't look anything like that. I rate this game 10/10.

Comment: Runescape is a game worth to play, in the beginning it is hard to lvl up but once ur a higher lvl there are more monsters to choose from to train with.The thing ppl hate is the way to get money it takes forever if u dont have a good skill.The new graphics system should bring this 7 to an 8.5 considering when runescape first was played by me it was the worst graphics ever but now they have made good changes.The new graphic sytem makes it look more shaded and good textures.TRy it out it is fun. Friends,up to 99 lvls per skill, highscores,etc.. the bad part is they treat free to play players, well like a f2p and p2p geteverything that they need.its like 5$ a month

Comment: lol i love how everyone says "runescape is better than WoW", kinda like stappeldork, well let me tell you, hmm, can you own a mount? no, can you fly? hell no, can you meet anyone on there who DOESNT use 1337 speak? yet again, no, so how is this dumb game BETTER than WoW, oh and secondly cany you use an auction house and not have the possibility to be scammed? no, does runescape have a mailbox? no, does runescape have over 2000 quests? no. so, how is it better? oh and last thing, does it have other races? no (i only brought that up because i hate being human on mmorpgs, i like elves : D) wait, although this is a question i literally need answered, does it have a story? cause i don't know. oh the one thing that really bugs me is running, i run, then my energy runs out(atleast that's realistic) but i think it takes too long for energy to build back up, also on the mass update they better add new attack motions, i didn't see a difference in stab and slash : /,oh uhm, back to my point. the game is targetted for younger people yes, it's cheap so the parents wont get pissed off yet he can play a DECENT game, not gonna come close to saying it's better than WoW or EQ2 i wish they had attack skills, instead of "swing, 0 dmg, swing, he hit me for 12 dmg, i swing murder him with 10 dmg cause that's all he had left after he pwned a different idiot. oh, yeah, my review.
Graphics 1/10(for now)
gameplay 7/10(lots to do)
content (depends how far you get before you flame the game entirely)
music -10/10
community 1/10(out of 1000 idiots, i found 10 friends, beware the towns! seller's haven) well that's it.

Comment: ok for all you stupid people who say that runescape is just a bounch of 8 year olds.. well.... WOW.. your saying this and your not spelling half the words you type right!
ok so here is me review.
Cons-3
(1)you have to be lvl 65+ to actually enjoy the game
(2)the music is bad(you can turn it off!)
(3)skills are time consuming
PROS-6
(1)a very good community
(2)great iteams
(3)amazing gameplay(bad graphics (which there fixing)but still good)
(4)the skills have GREAT rewards no matter what you say
(4)its f2p or pay a tiny cost of $5 to play p2p
(5)its rated #3 on all MMORPGs
(6)it has over 1 million players(so its definetly not as bad as you say)
_________________________________________________-------------------------------------------------
for every one who says its boring, i would bet that you havent played for more than 1 hour. if you think its boring the you level up fast, unlike wow its actualy a decent game, so it takes PATIENCE which NO wow player has. you cant talk to people with words,but you can definetly talk to people with text.
_________________________________________________-------------------------------------------------
the picture above.....well......lets say this its OLD that is from when runescape 2 first came out. the whole screen set up is differnt it has icon at the top of the screen to let you know when things like your energy,prayer points, summoning points, or health points are down. which in my opinion is an amazing feature to have. and to all wow players, would you rather spend like $100-$200 dollars a year to play a game? when you can pay $60 a year to play runescape with membership. wow you have to buy it, then pay MONTHLY fees to keep an account, OR you can play runescape free with NO monthly fees unless your a member in which case its $5 a month not $15 a month.
so over all-7.5/10
graphics-1/2
community-2/2
music-.5/2
quests-2/2
weapons and armour-2/2

Comment: ok so this is my review. runescape is an OVERALL fun game, slightly addictive to some but does get boring. Here's some points all of the WoW fans brought up that i think are pretty ridiculous.
"The graphix suk balls ZOMG u go blind if u look at them for a millesecond"
This is the main one. Honestly i just don't get it. First of all, GRAPHICS DO NOT MAKE A GOOD GAME!!!! Call of Duty 4 has excellent graphics! the overall gameplay is horrible! Whereas, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has suckish graphics. It is one of the top-rated video games of all time. Besides the point, Runescape's graphics aren't even that bad. yes, they aren't up to date with your precious WoW graphics, but they aren't even that bad. Doesn't matter anyway, theyre fixing them in two months.
"all this game is is clicking thats all you do it is so boring i dont want to play a game that is just clicking"
It's a free game! On a browser! USING JAVA!! Seriously people, what do you expect? The game isn't going to be so hi tech that every button on the keyboard has a function. It may be clicking, but there are still loads of things to do.
"Lik the whole frikin game is just 8year olds and 10 year olds they are so stupid an annoying who wants to play a game that is just kids"
Two things: First of all, the only places where 8 and 10 year olds ever stay are in varrock and lumbridge. if thats the only place you've been, that means you didn't fully play the game enough to truly know it, and therefor shouldn't review it. Second of all, if you played AT ALL, you would know there is a button at the bottom that lets you choose whos chatting you want visible. Not only that, but just because kids play a game doesn't mean the game is bad.
"there are too many scammers i just lost my best person because of them now runescape is gay"
There may be lots of scammers, but dont blame runescape itself for them. Besides, all mmorpg games have scammers. We all have to learn to live with them.
"Jagex is lazy and greedy."
Jagex kept the graphics and gameplay low so they could still have it a free web browser. Also, they charge 5 dollars every month for players to be members, which is one of the cheapest prices on the web.
"you have to be a member to have fun"
This is a complete opinion. There are many fun things to do on Runescape without playing as a member. Even if there are a few ridiculous limits, they kept the members price cheap. 5 bucks a month is more than affordable for many middle-class families.
"Runescape has no storyline"
There is plenty of storyline in the game and even more in the quests. People just take a first glance at the game and think, "How could this possibly have a storyline?" People who actually play know the storyline of many parts of runescape such as Varrock, Falador, Lumbridge, and much more.
"This game is trash nobody likes it it should stop polluting the web and people should stop wasting ther lives"
If it was trash and if nobody liked it, it wouldn't be number 3 on the top ten f2p list. stop being a hater.
"it takes 20 minutes of choppin down a tree to gain one level its too hard"
Good games actually require patience, which no WoW player has.
"its too easy to hack people they are hacked all the time"
People don't know this. Someone without a firewall or without anti-virus software will get hacked. (btw, runescape is always advising players to scan their computer)
"all people do is fight its all about lousy combat and it suks"
Don't even get me started on this. Play runescape for more than a month, then write a real review. please.
"The music sux youll go deaf"
The music isn't even that bad. I think its pretty good, even though there are some gay tunes.
Well, those are a few main points most people bring up about runescape. Most are either wrong or just opinions.
I'm not a fan of runescape, but I still play every now and then. It does get boring if you play it too much, the walking system isn't too great, and the community isnt good, at all, but runescape is a very fun game even when you buy the most expensive free-player armor.
I give Runescape a 9/10.

Comment: Ok as you read this keep in mind A) I haven"t played this game in forever but while I did I played it pretty actively B) During the period between when I quit RS and now I played starcraft... A WHOLE lot of starcraft... so I"m coming from a pretty competetive point a view.
ok....
PRESENTATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Graphics-0/0... dont care "bout graphics
Audio-0/0... thats right... I don"t give a damn about audio either :/
GAMEPLAY
~~~~~~~~
Community-10/10... ok the RS community is pretty rock solid, there are friendly members and you can make friends pretty easily, however there are those occasional jerks who pop up in almost every game. :/
Gameplay-5/20... seriously there is NOTHING actually "fun" about the combat of Runescape which is one of the most critical features in an MMORPG. However there is something fun in the community, its interactions, and just getting rich. Something is just satisfying from playing out a life in another world.
Competition-5/20... with the wilderness gone MOST of the competetiveness in RS is gone. However things like tournaments and other forms of PVP still exist all is not lost... just most :/
20/50 total :/

Comment: OK, I"m getting extremely aggravated looking at all the ratings. Over half of these 10 year old whiners haven"t even played runescape enough to even talk about it. They play it for 30 minutes, realize how much they are bad at life then quit and look for places to bash about it. Like so, then they go saying, "OMG WoW is so much better LoL!"
when said no-life has never even played WoW.
Runescape is well worth a try. In my opinion its very fun and interesting. Try it out for yourself its a pretty good game. Of course there are better games out there, but this isn"t bad at all, its fun, long-lasting if you stick with it and overall pretty cool.
**Still, Ive reviewed this a couple of times, ACTUALLY giving it a review then just saying some stupid bull about "g0 pl4yy WoW R0fl!"
Also to the no-life dolt who said Runescape is for poor people with bad internet connections. That is the most idiotic statement i have heard in a while. Seriously you must be retarded. I"m not poor nor do i have a bad internet connection so dont say bull like that. Moron go to hell. And of course his post has to do with "WoW"

Comment: *First comment to all other comments*
*skip if you"d like*
Well some of you WoW nipple suckers are really pissing me off. You can"t compare a browser game that costs practically nothing to a game that costs over 10-15$ a month. Thats DEFINETLY NOT a free MMORPG.
Alright, so, everyone who loves WoW and says Runescape is pathetic, is in a way, well, wrong. On WoW it takes a bit of time to max level, before you even get there the game is pretty gay, I know because I"ve tried. On Runescape, it is basically the same way, you gotta" get to a high level to actually enjoy most of the game play. Ofcourse it"s going to suck if you"re level 80, because in any of the PvP games, you"re going to get your ass kicked. I"ll admit, the games graphics are bad, but On one of the posts someone said there "isn"t enough to do" Well, at the moment there are currently over 140 quests to do that don"t just involve HUNTING for creatures, there are OVER 20 skills in the game, all which are time consuming but usually worth it. The gameplay gets repetitive, well that"s if you"re a nonmember or a poor member that can"t use any weapon with a special attack. The graphics are being updated and it WILL STILL BE A BROWSER BASED GAME*** Every game has its low points and high points, but I"m currently level 110 on runescape, ad enjoying every second.
AND LASTLY
I cannot empazise this enough
YOU ABSOLUTLEY CANNOT
Put the browser based FREE mmorpg
up to
A no-matter-what monthly pay subscription of around 12$ that costs around 30$ to buy, then taking it home for a 2-6 hour download, and 2-3 hour installment.
WoW is NOT a free MMORPG.

Comment: Having played this game for quite a while, before realising it totally sucked. Well i guess ill start off with the good aspects for a fair chance.
PROS
-Well has lots of intresting stuff to go and investigate
-No download
-Classes are interchangeable (meaning you can be a bowman one day and a Mage the other) However there is no set class
- Good MMORPG for people to get used to the concepts
- Equipments are somewhat intresting
CONS
-Graphics. Suck. Ass. Majorly.
- Quests are very limited for non suscribers
(and seriously who would pay for something like this?)
- The game constantly bars you from doing anything even remotely fun unless your a member and worse the NPCs even ridicule you for not being a member O_o
- Music is worse than the graphics
- Gameplay is boring and repetitive even if your a mage because your always set to one skill, i cant remember if you can change it in the middle of a battle, but still who would do that?
-Much of the game relies on Hoarding items to trade, but your bank only lets you hold so many items (again unless your a member)
- Community Geeze, 70% of the community are 8 year old level 80s hoping to use their characters to land them internet girlfriends. (which are usually 8 year old people playing as girls to get free money and stuff)
All in all, Play it if you want, bu its not worth paying to be a member. There are better games out there (Yes including WoW with a class set and at least a set of skills, some of which require more than pressing a key. All of which this game lacks)
Community isnt that great because aside from the noobs and the afore-mentioned 8 year old losers, Many people are very mean and are griefers in what way they can, IE making fun of your equips or just plain heckling whch gets annoying. Although there are some nice people its hard to find one.
P.S. Lol and gra t1 Youve obviously never played WoW and if you did youd know that if you walk out of a town that the chances of having a level 70 player of your opposite faction standing there having killed all the guards, is close to none, and the only reason he even couldve attacked you is because like an idiot you went and attacked him first, and turned on your flags.

Comment: If you love grinding and repetitive actions, this game won't dissapoint!
PROS: good mmorpg to start out with.
CONS: this game is dominated by nine year olds looking for girlfriends.
graphics are totally rad and state of the art
combat and skill using are repetitive and extremely boring.
music is tone deaf jingles
this game is a joke!

Comment: The real reason all you people hate it so much is because you cant get away with hacking the game like you can on wow (hint its lower case for all you idiots) runescape yes the graphics are not that good but i would rather play a game with bad graphics than a game where you walk out of the first town and get killed by a lvl 70.
If anyone wants to complaine i"ll be out in the wild, waiting
RS FTW
wow FTL

Comment: ok Ive played this for several years and i think its a great game mainly because of the wide range of skills and quests and many people are right when they say killing 10 monsters for ___ is boring.... its EXTREMELY repetetive... so if you think quests on RS are boring... youre on hallucigens or something.... anyway im glad the graphics are improving... and WoW players... before you say this game is horrible at least try and play this game... pay a measly $5 dollars compared to $15 for a monthly membership and actually try the game, level up and do some quests (I did 31 of the 32 free membership quests at level 7) and have you ever thought that maybe a lot of those so called little kids are actually people trying to degrade runescape? (personally ive never seen anyone talk that badly... you people must not have even gotten past lumbridge...) i mean hey if theyre so little then how the crap do they know texting like that? i mean comon how many little kids know all the nooby texting crap? they can barely spell as it is =/ anyway just give the game a try by paying the $5 or just play for a while on F2P

Comment: i've been playing this game for a long time and reading the comments i can only say a few things :
- Call a game wich has 21 skills
- Call a game at wich u can get skill capes when u got your goal -> lv 99 on a skill
- it's a flash ffs the graphics maybe aren't that good but it's the gameplay that important
- the new graphics rocks =D

Comment: ok, first, i bet even with the updated *bearable* graphics they'll still suck (nice attempt though, i'll give it that) also i tried to make a living just mining and forging, but everyone stole the mining spots, i could barely get enough to make 10 longswords some days, alot of people though, interesting in the city when people call eachother noobs and don't actually fight.

Comment: first of all rs is updating the graphics finally and now you can run it 1280*728 and the second thing of a good mmorpg is the gameplay the quests are so innovative combat system good and it has 35 skills not related to combat
+ runescape is the 3rd most played mmorpg after wow in 1st place and habbo hotel at 2nd place with 8 mil free players and 2 mil members so stop judjing games by graphics rs could own most of other dumb games with quests like go kill 10 monsters and come back so stupid and i played for 3 years and im enjoying without being member
im now lvl 91 / 126 and still not bored of it

Comment: As a experienced player in many games including this one, I can say I played this when I was younger, so I told myself I could not review this game on that experience.
I played this game for a total of 75 minutes again and will base my review of that.
Pros:
A large player base
A large amount of skills
Many quests
Many features
Cons:
A large percentage of the player base is massing children that talk in 1337 speak. For all you newbies out there thats talking like this:
I pwn u bztch lol!1111!! U get o3wned by meh swrd.
Con two would be that the graphics are terrible and have been since the games origional launch 7 years ago. Even for java games like Wurm online crush it.
Con three, The way of making money is repetative and takes a long time to really get decent money for your gear.
Essentialy you will be running flax and making it into strings for 60 levels and then try and land a good marketing job.
So here is your layout.
Community 33.6587%
Graphics 48.6895%
Content 68.69769%
Innovation 23.565%
Customer Service 45.56589%
Sound 71.5685%
Overall 47.65865% - Not reccomended.

2)THE COMBAT IS SO CRAPPPPP. THE JUY DOSN'T EVEN TORCH THE MONSTER ONLY HITING IT LIKE MAGIC AND ALSO IT APPEARS LIKE 0 AND 1 WHICN WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THE PAST

Comment: to all flamers:
'omg the graphics is so bad':Jagex will be evolutionising runescape's graphics in a couple of months. it may still not be as good as wow's but it will be very decent.
'f2p gets too little content!'
very few MMORPGs are free, so you should feel lucky that runescape is one of them. the membership fee is also merely $5 per month. the overall gameplay is very impressive and you'd almost never have nothing to do.
so yeh...runescape is quite a good game, not every game is about graphics(they are going to make it good now anyway lol), and runescape's gameplay is truely excellent. and if runescape wasn't a good game, it wouldn't have 1 million+ subscriptions(one of the highest) would it?
