RuneScape

Game: Runescape

I would like to comment first on a few reviews before mine. It is a lie that those who like vulgarity, scamming, or hacking can get away on RuneScape. I've been playing the game for three and a half years; three of those years on the free server. Not once have I ever been hacked--no matter what game (or otherwise) you play that requires a password, you should take the precautions. Change your password once a month and don't make them easily-guessed. If a player needs to be reported, there's a button in the game--it sends the staff the last 30 seconds of what occured. As for cursing, RuneScape has such a high block on vulgarity it almost gets annoying. Scamming--if you're buying or selling something, ask around for the price or look in the shops. With that said and done, I'd like to agree that RuneScape isn't perfect. There are players that are rude, annoying and that you would just like to take to the wilderness (PK-ing zone) and beat him/her senseless. There are also others that aren't and that are willing to help newbies to the game. Try and concentrate on them. Don't worry about graphics, though, since RuneScape2 has recently been released and they are much improved. Out of all the free online multiplayer games, RuneScape has always been the best for me and I have yet to tire of it. It sounds easy to get to the 'highest' combat (the highest I've seen is 115) but it is certainly not. Plus there are many skills you can raise--you can be a mage, warrior and rogue at the same time. My mind is simplistic, and this game is very easy to get the hang of. The Jagex staff is very understanding--plus, the game get's updated very often and you can suggest ideas for them to add or bugs that need reporting. Enough of my rambling; go to the site and try it out--no e-mail required. What do you have to lose?
