Okay. Well there's the player overall, there's the houses and stores, there's the landscape, there's the creatures, there's the equipment and items, and especially the water. It all sucks. |

I can understand why RuneScape is so popular, there is quests that require some thought, with puzzles etc, you can do anything, have houses, have any skill etc. It is good for what it is, a browser based game, if they made Runescape 3 a stand alone game, and made the graphics upto date, would they get more subscribers maybe, would it be worth all the trouble, probably not. For me, I can't stand the graphics that is in place at the moment, and the new graphics isn't that much better, when I first saw it i thought thats how they were already lol, then i played and shocked myself by how bad lol I don't like the camera and I don't like being in a browser as Internet explorer has enough trouble loading up websites :D I might try it after the graphics update but I never liked the feel of the game so i probably only last 1 day or so lol. |

As i said before, you can't compare a browser based game with a game that has a client. Tell me another game with better graphics that is ran trough a browser - That's how you should compare RuneScape to other games. And since there are no other similar games that can be ran trough a browser you can't compare it to anything else. |

Originally posted by kesleri No, you shouldn't.. RuneScape is a GAME, and so are other downloadable games. They are GAMES, and GAMES will be compared to eachother. RS is very very successful, and it will be compared to other successful games. It doesn't matter if it was coded differently, but they are both GAMES. I do care if one if Java, and neither should anyone else, they are each games (doesn't matter how they are coded) and doesn't mean that Jagex deserves any slack just because it is coded differently. RS will be compared with other games, browser based or not. |

Originally posted by HumbleHobo Because everything you do does NOT have to involve combat. Yeah, you heard me. There's so many things you can do, even with such a sub-standard system, and especially for members, that combat doesn't feel like it's always necessary like in every other MMO. |

No.. there is plenty to do other than combat.. but why would you want to do any of them because there are no real rewards for your levels and it takes no real skill. What you actually do the most of in the game is wait. You can pay to play a game that makes you wait for everything to happen. You wait for ore to respawn, for trees to grow back, for you to actually get a magic log, or mine a runite ore. So while you are waiting for everything to happen in the game you get the pleasant company of kids running around saying " reported" 50 billion times in a row for no reason and get to listen to 2 level 20's arguing who is the noob. yea that sounds like a ton of fun! If that hasn't excited you enough you can go spend you time endlessly talking to NPC bots that will say the exact same thing everytime you talk to them! You can run off questing endlessly .. well not endlessly since I had done every quest in runescape, so the torture does end eventually, and amuse yourself with pre scripted predictable boring quests that offer no real challenge since I never actually even had the risk of dying on any of quest, and even if i do die on the game what would it matter? It isn't like there is a death penalty or even loss of loot. You can play runescape from just about anywhere but don't invite your real friends to come play because if you are caught helping them in the game they will accuse you of real world trading and ban you for being kind to others without evidence. Oh yea don't even think of giving your friends nice christmas gifts in this game because it is not allowed to give santa hats at christmas anymore. Oh yea the JOys of crafting, you will lose money if you craft your own items in the game and there is no rewards for gaining levels in this game, in fact you make more $ selling the supplies it takes to gain levels rather than doing them yourself. Instead you will get countless hours of mindless clicking in order to get you a level that if you had not gotten the level at all you would have made more $, so all you have after all that effort is a useless skill and a useless cape that instead of rewarding you for your hard work and effort it causes people to follow you around endlessly asking you to do stupid emotes, and harrassing you to give them stuff that you can't even trade to them. Yes your final reward in this game is harrassment! isn't that wonderful and exciting? the skills are pretty much like this : dragon hides are worth more than crafted dhide armor smithed bars are worth more than smithed armor herbs are worth more than potions this being the case why bother working the skills at all when there is no reward for doing it other than walking around saying look I am a bigger noob than you ! lol The fun things in the game such as Gambling, Helping others, christmas gifts, bday presents, halloween trick or treating, and pking were all stripped from the game sadly all that is left in the game is mindless repetition and waiting... and of course your quest buddies the Good ol NPC bots that will always say the exact same thing everytime you talk to them! |

I think the new RuneScape graphical update will really serve Runescape well. As we all know the graphics of Runescape aren't very good at the moment but they're good enough. This new update keeps Runescape the same but adds the detail it needs eg: Shadows, defined/sharpened colours etc. I am looking forward to the graphical update as It will make it a lot more fun to see things in a more realistic manner.
