Is Runescape an embarrassing game?

[matt$]

Well seeing as "most of the coolkids" used to play it back in year 7-8, and several do in year 12 and 13 i wouldn't say its embarrassing.

In year 7 most 'coolkids' played it at our school i joined in about year 8 and then once they quit they'd take the piss out of others playing but a simple 'but, you used to play it? you used to have 99 on most skills so what are you on about.' used to shut them up

i mainly think people take the piss out of games like WoW cause you've got to pay for it monthly although the people that take the piss are on their xbox playing fable/viva pinata paying monthly for live and the actual game, so they could be classed as just as sad.

In year 9 my friend 'caught' me playing it, and I was like ****! Then he was like, yeah I play sometimes too...
I think everyone seems to be ashamed of it, and probably habbo for that matter. Just imagine how many people you might know irl that play it!

I've played it since forever and have never found it embarrassing. Quite a few of my friends have come back recently due to the free trade removal so I doubt they'd look at me funny if I ever mentioned it. I think it's only those that play other games like COD/WoW that look down on runescape players as if runescape is an inferior game when actually it's much easier to get into and you don't have to spend a penny.

I actually agree with this 100% people who have never played rs but play WOW/COD always think runescape is crap and childish etc...

I didn't think it was that bad until I told my younger male friend, now he won't stop teasing me, and it's in my "top secrets" shelf in my brain LOL

It used to be "cool" from year 7-9. Now I'm in my second year of college, it's pretty sad.

I wouldn't say it's embarrassing. Your forgetting that it's a very popular games played by a lot of people. Its no different than calling someone sad for playing xbox or ps3. :L

hi intruding in this section just to say i don't play it but my cousin does. she plays both WoW and habbo too and she publicizes it over her facebook. it's not like every status but once in a while or if people ask her what she's doing she'll drop it in to conversation. she's extremely popular and what you'd call "cool" by teenage standards. i find in real life the only people who know what runescape/wow/habbo is anyway ARE the geeky stereotype people (i'm not calling you guys geeky i'm just talking from experience ). most people just say "what's that?" (besides habbo) and ironically the only ones who say it's embarassing are those geeks that have once played it.
