Runescape

[Lestah]

Well, anyway, why do people play this game? I once played it, a few years ago, for about 1 and a half years. I got addicted pretty quickly, got up to around level 100 combat, which was a rare sight back then to say the least.

Then.. one day.. I seemed to grow up. Runescape just didn't appeal to me in the least.

It is a game where 95% of game reward requires one thing: TIME.

Not skill, not technique, not intelligence.

You simply have to play the game, for as long as you can, with minimal intelligence, to get good at it.

The graphics are poor, in no department does the game really "excel", but it has a certain essence about it that just hooks you; and I still do not know what it is. I guess it's something to do with that certain buzz you get when you levelled, or gained some cash, or completed a quest.


So, I ask again, why runescape? Why do people love this game so much? Or have those people just not found other games yet?

If you reply to this thread, could you state your age also? I'm just wondering if there's any correlation between younger children and runescape players.

I'm truly sorry if this thread offends anyone, not intended, I do have a genuine query. I stated my opinion above, you don't have to agree with it, and I look forward to see your opinions.

I don't just play runescape, I play CS:S, MTA (multi theft auto), garrys mod, fifa 07.

and - I play outside in the real world.

I rarely play currently.

When I do, its something to do while on msn. I play for the thought of making more money out of it pretty much
I'm 16.

I play World of Warcraft too, like Ashley said, it's something to do while on MSN, when you're bored, when you can't get a group for something on WoW because RuneScape is more solo. That's all. We all have our own opinions, you can't change it.
