Yes or No? I say No.
Although I know many kids who play runescape (friends and cousins), I never really got into the whole runescape thing. My first impression when I saw the game was "The Graphics Suck!!!". My friends come back at me and tell me it's fun but when I actually tried it, I found it difficult to keep myself interested. There was nothing visually appealing and the "fun" that my friends were telling me about - ya, i couldn't see it. I also heard that most of the users on there now are just noobs begging for items. I voted "It's rubbish" on this because thats what I think it is.

No, no, no and guess what? No. It's a terrible game which has been rendered by 2 year olds. I played the beginning of the game, ages ago. I think I was trapped with a crappy laptop at a relatives house; I was THAT bored. I created my created my character, started playing the tutorial. The tutorial is so stupid. "Cook some shrimp" so I did, "Your burnt your shrimp, move onto the next level". No where the hell is the sense of achievement there? I burnt my shrimp, and didn't cook it probably, but I still get to move onto the next level.

People who play it are normally incompetent and stupid, the social aspects are ruined due to that. The "Quests" are stupid and repetitive. I'm not a big fan of Role Playing Games (RPG's) and will never understand the reason to do a task over and over again to get exp points, I believe it's called grinding. All the "Quests" are doing some task for some complete stranger, in return you get something of no significance and you'll probably sell it or throw it away.

I honestly do not understand the obsession people have with Runescape, it's a badly made game which has no substance to it.

This game was ruined because of the new updates thet the creators of the game released. They took off the only thing that people can make money off. People killing in the wilderness, where you go into the woods and kill people and you can take their items. They also took the trade limits so if i want to sell you like a pen tahts worth 5,000 i can only sell for 2,000 or 8,000..

So i voted i suppose its still okay.

I couldn't have put it better myself. In fact it was for those exact reasons that I quit the game.

Runescape is fun for a while but quickly loses its charm. It's repetitive, tedious, and guaranteed to cause boredom in mentally-stable people after only a week. Speaking of "mentally stable", how many players in the game actually are? You've got people who think chatspeak is cool, people who ridicule low-level players because they're "weaklings" and "noobs", people continually trying to cheat you... I think the point is made.
