RuneScape Comments by Jon Blyth

I think the tagline nicely sums this up.

Indeed it does. Though before I played my first proper MMO, I thought this was amazing. Then I played WoW and peed a little.

I tried playing once, and i'll never get those 5 minutes back.

I dont understand why people play that piece of shit

I checked out Runescape because i saw a crapload of graduate job opportunities from Jagex when i was nearing the end of my degree.

Needless to say, after playing for five minutes I did not apply.

Less runescape, more EvE articles please

That was fun reading. I tried Runescape many years ago and it was much uglier. I'm actually amazed it has light sources as I can see in screenshots. It's good that this kinda Java games exist, but especially PoxNora yes sir-ee.

Jockie, did your research not show you how much money Jagex make per month? That should have swayed your opinion a bit!

Funny stuff :)

I think the avatar in that 1st screenshot might be micheal jackson.

I also think the author has every right to put "3/10" at the end and upgrade this to a "review." After all you never finish an MMO.

"...pocketwatches come out..." LOL. Lots of nice writing in this one!

As for the penguins, they're trying to take over, pretty simple when you think about it

I played this for seweral years, and it was fun, but not anymore. Still, it's somthing i can't let go entirely, it's like somthing that lies under my skin, and allways will. To many memories from that time. I still remember the day when i suddently were bether than every one else at my school. Some of my friends still playes it, and some of them are noobes, as i would call them, and turns to me for help with quests and stuff. So, it will take sometime beefore i lett this be history.

Who knows, maby i will start playing this again somtime.

Less Runescape, more school.

^lol

Please play MapleStory next and report back on that.

Lol! Owned by a chicken! And I'm sure that had nothing to do with the rest of your review... But, Yeah, its a bit harsh about losing all that gear but that's half the fun, its not like WoW were 'death' means time to take a little walk and maybe dish out a few coins. You get perished you lose a load of items. Solution - don't get killed!

As for not making friends, I think you may have gone about it the wrong way (as I'm assuming the "does anyone want a cheeky underground adventure" line was a joke). Would you try starting a conversation with a random person on the corner of a London street? Nope, don't think so. They'ed not know you and be off to do whatever it is they are in town for. However had you tried either talking to people on the main forums, or the really tipper Salmoneus forums, and got to know some folks there they would have been more than happy to have teamed up with (and most likely give you a bunch of stuff to replace the bits lost by the dread chicken of Death!!

I played RuneScape for four years back around 2000-2004. It was actually a great game back then IMO. There was a lot of depth, the community was still great (it turned bad at some point which was one of the main reasons I left) and the economy was actually quite interesting to play around with. Back then only a handful of players could make the most powerful items in the game - the ones which aren't sold in stores. It was always fun to see how the prices on those items changed as new batches arrived to the market. The quests are moderately fun towards the higher levels as well, The Dragon Slayer is pretty much the climax of the game. There's something strangely soothing about wasting five hours mining mithril ore, kind of like doing the same in WoW only you actually can gain progress indefinitely.

Around the time RuneScape 2 came around (the huge graphics update) the community had completely deteriorated, the economy IMO ruined itself because too many players could make the high level items and all the new skills and other changes to the gameplay had made it lose that classic MMO feel that I adored.

Hilarious review.

ozpass - I personally though "My understanding of the cow that is the world has been deepened by drinking the sour milk from its resurrected teat" should get that title ;-p

I remember being really into it when I was about 14 (2001). It was free and all my friends were playing it!

I checked out Runescape because i saw a crapload of graduate job opportunities from Jagex when i was nearing the end of my degree.

Needless to say, after playing for five minutes I did not apply.

I actually applied there after my degree a couple of years back. I did the research and came to a similar conclusion, but I was spreading a wide net at the time. I got a respectable games programming degree, and applied for an entry level programming job that was advertised on their website. Sound reasonable? I got contacted for a telephone interview, and it took 10 minutes of a very confusing conversation to learn that they had decided not to interview me for a programming job, but instead were interviewing me for a customer service job I didn't apply for, without even letting me know. I was less than impressed.

Several days later, they only made matters worse by emailing me to tell me they didnt think I was suitable for the customer service job I never applied for.

Jagex are not my favourite people.

I got really into it a few years back when i was trying to get fired from a job.

I got quite advanced.. . But took up too much time to play it when i had a job i liked.

FFXI > Runescape

Something similar happened to my mate - he applied for an artist job. Ten minuet phone interview followed by a TWO DAY interview and trial in Cambridge. Then at the end they turned around and said 'yeah that job you applied for isn't available anymore but we do have this much more menial job for two grand a year less'.

I used to work for Jagex and they were a wonderful company to work for. I was only working as a GM, but I don't think there are many better paying jobs around that don't require a degree or years of training. The perks and benefits were superb and they were all lovely, lovely people.

This made me LOL.

"Tutorial Island is non-optional for new accounts"

You mean compulsory? Poor English! :D

I actually tried Runescape a couple of minutes when I couldn't logon to WoW a few years back. Needless to say it was like trying to smoke fish when you badly craved nicotine.
