If you look at Pictures of the graphics from 2002 and relate them to the 2009 graphics you will understand how much Jagex puts into this game and how much it has developed over the years. Yes, it may not be the best, but that doesn’t completely make it a bad game. Runescape uses the latest java technology and runs right on the browser. A regular player can usually begin playing in less than 10 minutes. Most other MMOs, you have to buy a disc valued at 50 dollars, take hours to install it, and pay outrageous prices. I feel the membership is excellent value and I would recommend it to anyone. The only pitfall is the music could be improved a little and the customer service. Because Jagex is such a small company it’s difficult to get one on one service which de-values the game. However, I still gave it a 7 because it’s not all that hard to get help. I usually have all my problems sorted within a few business days. Mon Oct 19 2009 8:20PM

Majin_Vegeta writes: RuneScape is by far the most honest MMORPG on the market to date. They have done the most to combat RWT, when compared to other MMORPGs, and bots are virtually non-existent anymore. I have played RuneScape for years, and even in college I find myself coming back at least twice a year, just to see what is up. Jagex staff respond regularly in forums, and the CEO even speaks on forums, answers questions, and speaks in clan chats in the game. RuneScape also doesn't require to re-roll a character if you want to raise another skill, or try a different class. One character can raise every skill and be any class they want. The game also has over 15 forms of PvP, including forms of dangerous PvP where you and your opponent can lose each other's armor upon death. There is much to gain in dangerous PvP, as well as much to lose. Risk vs Reward. Sat Aug 22 2009 12:36AM

The game is really fun as it has a great skill system, but other than that.. the customer service is horrible.. pvp isnt great.. graphics were "updated" about a year ago.. but they still suck.. etc. I would give RuneScape a try if you have never played it, but be warned its not the greatest mmo out their. It used to be really good until Jagex (the creators) ruined the game. Mon Aug 17 2009 9:53PM
