     I wonder how the game ever got more than 2 people to ever pay for it.......I still to this day have not found a worse community or a game that has worse graphics.

 

Well, the funny thing is that, once you start paying that $5 (or however much they're charging now) you're instantly granted a better community, as many of the immature players aren't paying a dime. Not to say that everybody with a membership is nice, but the community instantly gets better.

As for the graphics, they are excellent graphics...because they are programmed in Java! If you can show me one game that is programmed in Java and can be played in your browser, I'd pay you quite a bit.

 

Lol yeah if any of these people that say RS's graphics sucks can show us one MMORPG that is programmed in JAVA that has better graphics than runescape I'll give them 100 bucks. Also, it has to have a world that is about the same size as RS's.

 

Starwars galaxies uses java.  Java isn't as limited as people think, the problem is Jagex run it through a browser which is limited.

I'd like my 100 bucks in cash please :)

He might pay you in Runescape-bucks :P called gp hehe...

Once you are up and running, it's quite an okay game. If you are a little bit older you might have to look pass the cartoony style. It has a lot of quests and pvp stuff that make it even fun for the older ppl.

I'm not surprised about this number. In Holland alone 40k people are playing. And that server is just open for a few months. In France it's way bigger, as it is in English speaking areas.

I think not :P, well of course it depends on what you call rude. I wouldn't call poes offensive or w/e.

In South Africa we speak a language called Afrikaans, which derives from Dutch, and in Afrikaans it's very offensive lol.

Oh lol, yeah I'm Dutch. Aparently the word took a course on its own :P... Here it's not a descent word for it, though it's commonly accepted I guess. I mean I wouldn't know who would take offense to it.

In fact scamming has become harder, although it's not yet impossible to misuse players or even real life trade.

Real life trading still happens through the Bounty Hunter Cave where person.1. take a sara set into the cave and let's person.2. kill him. The penalty of 3minutes is often not enough for anti-reallife pk'ers to kill the offenders for they can tank over 3minutes. In some cases they even get help from clanmembers or friends who defend them by attacking the anti-reallife pk'ers (i just use this term freely here).

A not illegal way to still sell your goods against a higher price then the GE or new trade system allows. Just add in junk in the trade. This was what happend on the last added quest: while guthix sleeps.

The new armour and robes were sellable like this: person.1. obtained the items. Person.2. wants to have them no matter what. He offers for instance 3 milion gp. Normal trades wouldn't allow it. Though person.1. obtained during his rs carreer a lot of junk (read logs, bowstrings, runes, whack arrows etc). Normally these goods are hard or almost impossible to sell. They still have a value though ofcourse. When they are added in the trade suddenly person.1. can obtain lots of gp's.

Cool guide. There aren't much good guides in English yet. Looking forward to see new ones from you :)

I think it's one of the more friendlier communities in MMORPG gaming. Players are very helpful.

i've played runescape for about 2 years now and ive gotten to lvl 99. most people get alot higher in 2 years cause they only train melee, i've always disliked melee but it was cheap and easy to train so i trained it. once i reached the 90s it took insanely long to train my skills and it was boring which lead to my quitting. i think that jagex should seriously think about making lvling easier or allow macroing cause if they allow macroing and than everyone will use it and once everyone uses it won't be a unfair advantage.

 

i rate runescape 7/10. look my character on highscores if u want....xusheng2

I'm playing/have played Runescape for the last 7 years or so. Now and then ya just got to take a break from it, though leveling in Runescape isn't hard.

You just have to know your ways to it. Guides are easily accessable. Talking on communities as tip.it and zybez.net will give you a lot of information on how to train your skills the fastest.

Not for all skills lvl 99 is nessesary to have. At lvl 92 you're half way to 100%. Level 92 is for most skills good enough. As is 80 for non combat skills. Ranging and magic are quite fast to train. Ofcourse having money saves you, in some cases even a lot, of time.

Ranging aviansies for example gives you quite the xp and quite the money. This money you can spend on magic and still keep a surplus in your bank to spend on other skills. When you train mining to for example 85 you can mine rune, which gives you around 13-15k per ore. Banking this will result in a LOT of money to spend.

Like I said, you just have to find your ways in the game to make the money if you want it super fast. With a little more patience you can still level up quite fast and earn a lot of money.
