One word for you: Grind.

But that seems to be the way for all MMOs, so why should I complain?

Because there's no real fun in it. It's a crappy MMO that can easily be replaced with a better buyable game. A common argument to that is "But RuneScape is free." No, it isn't. I played it a long time ago, and couldn't shit without being a member. I mean, you have to be a member to climb over a fucking fence! The hell? Is he so retarded that he doesn't know how to climb over a three foot fence, and being a member is like going to school?
HEY! You have to pay for that kind of prime education.

When I just begun it was kind if fun (reminded me of Age of Empires), but after a while it got really boring, because of all the skills which were required to do some questing, so you were forced to start grinding and I don't like grinding.

I don't hate it. Many people do.

It's a terribly made game that makes FAT STACKS OF CASH for absolutely nothing. It has bad gameplay, it looks horrible, and it's just generally not fun. This isn't something that should make money, I could make this sort of thing on my own.

People don't like it for these reasons, among other things. So unless someone wants to add other things for these to be among, this post should clear it up.

In my opinion, the combat was the worst thing about the game.

Step by step guide to Runescape combat:

1-Click on enemy.

2-Eat food when close to death.

3-Repeat phase one and two until *insert level/skill cap here*.

I mean even WoW requires atleast a miniscule amount of skill and intellect. Oh and the community is a bunch of five year olds with too much time on their hands, all of whom replace all nouns with the words "n00b", "n00bs" or "lol".

Think of it this way:
The people who don't hate runescape are usually younger than the average gamer. Runescape is very simple and easy. Also, most of the members don't pay for it themselves anyway.

Now, I used to enjoy runescape, but that was when I was younger. That was before I had to pay for my own games; before I had a console or a good PC to play games on; before I discovered games like Oblivion and Halo.

Now that I'm older and have all these things, runescape is obsolete and no longer fun. Does this make sense?

Of course, this doesn't apply to everybody. I'm just speaking for (some) retired runescape players.
These are basically my feelings towards the game. Fun when I was young but now i have access to much better games.

I don't hate the game, I hate the crowd that it, and most other free MMOs attract: 12 year olds and griefers, then again, those two groups tend to be the same people.

Sure it is- though I'll admit, I don't think he was talking about yarn [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worsted]. :) "Realise", on the other hand is not found in any dictionary I've ever seen. Tip- when playing the role of a grammar Nazi, at least spell check your own post- better yet, don't be a grammar Nazi.

Actually, in England we use -ise instead of -ize in most words. A little transatlantic pitfall for all you would be nitpickers.

Also, runescape is a total gridfest filled with 10 year old jerks. Does not equal fun times.
"Gridfest"??? ;)

I don't hate it at all. In fact it's a brilliant game for when you've completed every other game in your house and can't afford any new ones at the time. It's been something I played on and off for years when I ran out of other things to do.

I'd never pay for it when I had other games to complete, books to read and so on, but it's always a good fall back for when the only other option is staring at shiny things all day to entertain myself.

The real problem is that there are so many oher free MMOs out there now that are very high quality. Sure alot of them work on the Micro Transaction system but most of them don't gimp you in the slightest for not paying. It's usually some vanity items is all. Atlantica Online is a great example. You can pay money for extra stuff like mounts and what not. But you're still able to buy them off of people using in game money anyway. And you sill get a high quality game, good graphics and pretty revoloutionary gameplay.

Damn I sure made this seem like an advert for Atlantica Online. Though I really would encourage people to take a look at it. I can't think of any MMO that let's you take control of a team in a turn based game, let alone one you can play for free.

grindfest. go watch a zero punctuation video on a mumorpager. yahtzee uses that word a lot. it means its like a game where you're just grinding a spice grinder for all the time you play it. i agree, it very much is a grindfest,but sometimes it can be fun. just run around,killing things.

i payed for it myself. hell,its five dollars a month. less then WoW,and runescape is almost as good as WoW (okay,not really) i mean,you can't get a game as good as wow for free,but runescape came pretty close.

of all i've seen,only one game came close to what i thought WoW was like.
maplestory. it's free,it's good,it doesn't have trolls,you pick a class,buy armor and weapons, ya know,usual MMORPG things,but it's free and simple. i liked it.
