• • Looking For A New MMO? Check Here First!

  • Runescape definately has crafting, and should also probably come under this too:

    "I want a game with crafting that matters, not some sidestep in the game that's ignored."

     

    Also, it has an optional subscription (plus the graphics have been updated - you might want to quickly check out the new ones to see where you feel they belong).

     

    You cannot be attacked anywhere on RuneScape unless you play Classic (and never have been able to on RS2)

• • Are you sure?

  • Well, I know that runescape is played by a wide variety of people of pretty much all ages except for kids who don't know how to use a computer. After playing for 6 years, I think the majority of players tend to be around the ages of 9-16. But I do know that a lot of college students and adults played as well.

     

    I would agree with this – but I wouldn’t accept your claim that the community is getting younger – it is more the case that you are getting older. A lot of my good friends started rs aged 10-14 between 3 and 5 years ago.

    "I always always always asked players their age before I added them to friends list, because i did not add minors to my list."

    I judge people more on their levels of maturity than the age they claim to be.

    "The 43 year old probably lied"

    My aunt is 49 years old and plays RuneScape. Older players do exist. I would say that it is more likely than not that the person is telling the truth.

    WBMs reporting people who haven’t done anything wrong is a problem – if only because it wastes Jagex’s time... Other than educating people about the rules, though, there isn’t much that can be done about that, without damaging the reporting system.

• • PVP IS COMING BACK

  • Short term does not necessarily mean that it is temporary...

     

    I read it to mean like barrows/crystal equipment - degrading over time, and you have to pay in some way or other for it to be repaired.

    Still, I advise you not to get your hopes up overly high - it is better to expect a mediocre update and be pleased with a good one than to expect a fantastic one and come out disappointed.

• • Last Chaos is an awsome game to play, do you think so too?

  • Pros:

    Reasonably good graphics for a free game.

    Personal dungeon is very nice.

    Guardian system is a good way of getting used to the game.

     

    Cons:

    Game is just a dull grind grind grind.

    To get anywhere beyond about level 40-50 you have to spend a small fortune in the item shop, or a very big one in game.

    It crashes far too often.

    As was said above, it has no character customisation whatsoever.

    Crazy lag when in any area with more than about 15 people in sight.

• • 42,000 bots removed ...

  • Sounds like the sort of situation that Runescape got into in 2006/07.

    The bots there are gone now of course, but at a very high price.

    I wonder how long it will be before Silkroad follows a similar path - or decays into complete oblivion...
