“Runescape no longer values it's customers”

Written on: 23/11/2012

I would not recommend this game to anyone. The company as a whole has gone down hill, all it does is come up with scheme after scheme to try and rip paying members off of more of their money. They no longer value their customers and the customer assistance is horrible. If you pay for a monthly membership why do you need to buy advantages in game on top of it? First game I've seen that in. They have a free to play section, which is neglected so badly that it turns off potential no players... (read more)

“Used to be Good”

Written on: 09/05/2012

I have played this game since 2004. Within the last year or two, Jagex has completely ruined the game with horrible "updates" making this game more appealing to 5 year olds. I used to be very addicted to this game but with the recent updates the game has been completely destroyed. They should have at least given an option to upgrade or not. Jagex's failure to take advice from their own paying players and what they actually want rather then just slapping together updates that worsen the game... (read more)

Written on: 17/12/2010

I have played this game on and off for 5 years. It was once fun, but has continued in a downward spiral. If you have no problem downloading a potentially virus plagued macro to level your account as many now do, then you will like this game. Jagex, (owners of RuneScape) have changed their policy for at least the third time this year with regard to cheaters (macros & botters). Now if caught, which few are, they get their levels reset.
The free portion of this game is soon limited. The... (read more)

Written on: 08/12/2010

An absolutely brilliant game, i would rate it 10/10. so fun to play, the graphics may not be great but they are sufficient. there are over 5000 hours of gameplay that you can do so you will never be bored. there are over 150 different quests to complete giving you variable rewards which lead to having advantages over other players. i have played this game for 4+ years and it can get a little boring at times but then you can choose a different skill to train. i would recommend you try out...

Written on: 22/11/2010

this would be a good game, but theres one thing that ruins this game to the rotten core apart from the meh graphics and dull sound effects, its that this game is so boring that you won't play this game for longer than level 50, i have played to level 78, and i have found out that leveling is more repetitive and boring that you won't grind at all, and there are not many major updates, and jagex do not know how to make an mmorpg, at least artix entertainment update adventure quest worlds...

Written on: 26/08/2010

i think runescape is up to standards of the competition in the mmo class but jagex have near ruined the game with: revenants, that'll shoot your head off if you go into the wild, random events like being captured by an evil cat, and quests being so long and boring that you want to poke your eyes out, and the music ain't great either, of course, you can solve this problem by listening to your own music, but then you have to change the song and then a rev will attack you if your in the wild,...

“Runescape is a very addictive game. ”

Written on: 04/06/2010

Runescape is a very addictive game.

Just putting that out there as a warning.

Only go into it if you are

a) Interested in video game storylines- this one has a great one with almost 180 Quests and loads of backstory for you to soak up

b) You have an abundant amount of time

c) You have the ability to not get bored after hours of repetitive clicking

d) You can affor £3.80 a month

This is a great game, with fairly major updates once every 2 weeks or so, with smaller fun updates... (read more)

“Runescape is the best freaking game in the world. ...”

Written on: 28/04/2010

Runescape is the best freaking game in the world. There is always something to do while palying. If you do get bored though you can always log off and even take a break for a couple days, and when you log back on you'll be right where u logged out. So everyone who hasn't tried runescape should try it at least once and play for more than a couple hours that way you get to experience more than the first part of the game. When you first start out theres not much u can choose to do but after... (read more)
