It's ok... if your willing to waste a few months on nothing...
OK, this game was ok at first. The gameplay seemed good, the graphics looked cool. There are plenty of skills to master, and tons of players to interact with. But after a while, it just gets boring. You log on, and you realize you want to get up your smithing level, for example, to make some cool armour you've seen everyone wearing. You spend maybe 45 minutes to an hour training up your skill, and you go up a level. "Yay" you say to yourself, "i can make some steel claws!" you then notice that there is something even better to make, and you spend another hour training up. Then there's something better, and you spend another hour... The cycle goes on, and unfortunately, its the same for practically all the skills.
Not only does it get deadly boring, there are constantly people insulting you about your level. I think the most commonly used word on that game are "noob". You can't walk anywhere without someone insulting a person about something. Its just damn depressing!
Not only are there the people that insult you, there are the other people, the "hackers" or "scammers" of the game. They seem nice enough, giving you a "sweet deal" for the rarest item on the game! Of course the "rare item" is just some stupidlt common item they are trying to flog off for an outrageous price.
The other scams there are include the good old "give me your password and i'll give you 1 million gold" trick. Jeez, this is just low, and just pathetically obvious, but still people fall for it.
The thing that cheezes me off the most is the forums section, the "rants". My brother sent in a perfectly valid comment about how he thinks the game is letting itself down, and the forum "mods" banned him from the forums, and erased his thread. Now is it just me or is that a bit strange?
As many of the above reviews say, jagex themselves don't care about what the players say about what they think could be improved. And if the players complain, guess what, their thread gets barred.
I hope this has given you an idea of what i think of runescape, and please, if you dont to waste A LOT of your time, don't even think about the word "Runescape"
