Game: Runescape
I have been playing this game for several years now. I will point out some basic points for it, but before that, some regular review stuff: Graphics: So-so. They are not terrible, but dont even compete with games like everquest or world of warcraft. The game is 3d, but for the most part, height does not seem to matter (There are some times it does though). And it is based on tilesets that are easily visible. The good side for it is, it has many diffrent themes, including desert, haunted type places, jungle, city, village, viking, cave, plains, and many many more), and it has thousands of diffrent charactor appearences (most for NPC) and monsters. Addictive: Yes, be prepaired to spend whole days playing this if you get addicted to video games. Sound: Not too bad, dont really have much to comapir to... Storyline: The game has a little to many story-lines, which can sometimes counterdict each other in small ways, but the individual ones are not bad. They reflect mythology, folktakes, and other sources from history (Egyptan pyramids, russian "koshey the deathless", and many more) Skill: (The thing I was talking about in my into) Most people think that this game requires nothing but clicking and time. While one can accomplish things useing this method, and at least a little clicking will always be needed(as with any other game,) one can get much more done if they have enough brains. For instance, the two main goals of people are to gain possesions (cash, armor, relics(Phats, santa hats), and gain skills (skill levels) While most (Herblore is an exceptions, some others are too) skills require no brains to get started, once you reach level 40 or higher, then you may need to start working with some ideas, but I will not get into that here, as probally by the time you reach level 40 in a skill, you will know what to do (Assuming your one of the few smart people) Cash on the other hand requries brains from the start: Most people obtain cash by cutting wood, and selling it, fishing, and selling the fish, or any other skill combo. This is a good way to make pocket change, and mabey if you do this for several weeks strait, no sleep, you might get somewhere. But the real cash in-take is in out-smarting other players: Merchanting: Buy low from the wood cutters on the field, and sell it high to people who need it despertly - requires some skill Game secrets: Everybody says they dont exist. I would too if I couldn't find any. These secrets are self-protective: The more people know know them, the less each person gets, therfore nobody wants to tell them. And learning these secrets by accident, or through in-game methods is nearly impossible (1 in 30000 people might get them each month at most) The trick is convincing other STRANGERS to tell you. Requires good people skills, and ability to read people through text. And the big fish of cash flow: Manipulating updates. There are updates every week, usually involving new items or skills. If you can figure out how item prices will go before they stabilize (about 2 weeks after release), you can easily make 3 million coins in 1 day (Alot) or lose it all. This should be as hard as predicting the stock-makert, but with more concrete stuff to go on.
