“Lelnamme”

It is one of the greatest RPGs of the 2000's, and it will always be one of my favourite games! There is so much depth, and history added with years of work! The artists deserved to be credited with years of detail. It is elegant, and fun. My friend who always keeps me loves it more than you would imagine. The backgrounds are wonderful. A grand Kingdom for all ages.

“Banned”

I downloaded the game via mobile once it was released for mobile. Once i appealed the ban it was denied even though i down loaded the game from the play store. So an account that was olayed since 2008 has been lost. When requested proof. The system said their security was absolute with not say why it was wrong or what the issue was besides saying 3rd party even though the app downloaded from p;ay store had all thier inf for jagex.

RuneScape is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game where players level up 23+ different skills, completing quests in a fantasy world with monsters, gods, demons, dragons, and so much more. You collect gold and items growing your bank fighting, trading, and teaming up with thousands of other real players living in the same world.

There are currently 2 version of Runescape with similar but different gameplay. Both versions are easily accessed from your single Runescape account and membership benefits are universal between versions.

RS3 (RuneScape 3) also known as EoC (Evolution of Combat) this version is a lot more developed and has been online since 2001 with many changes over the years creating RS3. It has years more worth of updates compared to OSRS and has higher quality graphics and more combat options with game play similar to World of Warcraft.

Old School RuneScape - OSRS - is a rolled back copy of the game code from 2007 released in 2013. It was demanded by the players when the games major update known as the Evolution of Combat came out. A huge percentage of the player base had quit playing, so OSRS was born from demand. Now majority player vote cast in game chooses updates to ensure community approval.

Its been fun watching the splitting of RuneScape into these separate directions in a butterfly effect type of parallel worlds scenario.

It should go without saying but I'll say it anyway, obviously Old School RuneScape is the best version of the game. So play it

Tip for consumers:
Play Old School RuneScape.
Download the Runelite client for the best experience, with plugins and other cool feature enhancing gameplay

Its a good game. You can chop wood, mine rocks, beat up cows and bandits, craft a bunch of stuff to become super strong and do quests. Its perfect for those who want to play an mmo but don't have a very powerful pc.

Best mmo-rpg of all time. Buying membership is completely worth it, and the service is fast! I accidentally bought a bond for runescape 3 but they transferred it to old school in less than 24 hours.

I only play for Old School Runescape but I can tell you the game is amazing. I played for years back in the good old days and being able to go back and relive some of my fun childhood memories is awesome. Go ahead and give the game a try.

This was our childhood game, wasn't it?

However recently they included a large game update named "The Evolution of Combat", which has made the game seem a lot like WoW. There is a new skill level. All combat levels have changed. (Remember Nex being 1001? She isn't any more.)

This game used to be fantastic. I even enjoyed it when there was no emphasis on good graphics. But I recently cancelled my membership as I just can't get past the update, even though I tried for a week or two.

Get hype! With runescape recently released on mobile the playerbase has increased tremendously and that made the game quite fun again cuz its easy to find someone to play and trade with. There's so much to do here and you can get a memebership by earning enough gold coins so its totally fair

My husband and I have played Runescape for over a decade. Recently this summer, my husband thought I went on his account cuz he was on his other acct and someone logged in to his main acct. Come to find out I was not and he was not on his main acct. Someone had gotten into his acct right before his very eyes. Needless to say, a short while later, he got permanently banned for botting which he has never done on this acct. He pleaded with Jagex and Runescape support and explained all this but to no avail. The decade long work to achieve all that he has is over. Real world money and in-game money completely wasted away. This is extremely sad for both of us. I will never play Runescape again and he won't either and will tell everyone we can about this situation. How heartless of them. He was telling the God's honest truth and they said they don't make mistakes but they did this time. I now distrust the support of this game and am wondering if Jagex or Runescape themselves hacked him to take all the in-game wealth he had. Nobody knew his personal information except for Runescape themselves and me. I think it sounds very fishy. Either way, for anybody considering this game, be very weary when you play cuz you could dedicate a decade of your life to this game and have it swiped right out from under your feet even when you play legitly. I am writing this review for him as he is too upset to even want to deal with this process and it happened in my own personal presence in front of my own eyes.

The game of my childhood... So many hours, weeks, months spent on PVP, farming and talking with my guild-mates... A truly perfect game!

The company in charge of operating the popular online game "Jagex" has recently opted to threaten legal action against open source developers of a popular client extension which in no way, shape, or form breaches their copyright as a means to financially support a closed-source third-party client developer that is currently sending them financial incentive to support it. Despite popular support for the open-source project, the close-minded business people involved in the company don't want a competitor for their business partner "RSBuddy".

I used to be a member, but was low on cash so I cancelled my subscription. They kept withdrawing funds from my card. I ended up blocking them through my bank and deleted my account.

Because friends were playing, I created a new account and played on that one. I moved and now they blocked my account. "For security reasons". Since my IP has changed, I must be a hacker. I have to give them my initial password, one password I can remember and my current password, date I created the account, my ISP when I created the account and a ton of other info.

If you incorrectly fill out any of these fields you get a sarcastic message that "an employee carefully went over your answers, but they need more info in order to assist unlocking the account" 3 seconds after you completed the form.

This company doesn't give a **** about you, will not give your money back and support is non-existent. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO.

Runescape.com or runescape.co.uk is a british owned online game based in Cambridge created in 1998 and is the largest MMORPG game in the world.

When you made a account for the first time you had to go around a island before you could start playing on the main map of the game and you could get certain skills on the island to a max of level 3, since then they have changed the start point when you make a new account, you help a knight defend and kill a dragon that is living under the city of lumbridge.

After you get out of the underground you can start training your skills and save thing up to put in your bank you can only carry 28 items on you (this does not include the armour and weapons you are carrying on your body and in your hands as they don't show in your inven unless you take them off)

Then you can sell your items at the grand exchange and buy other items for protection, doing other skills ect.

Now for the skills each skill starts off at level 1 and you build those skills up untill you get to level 99 (if your a member you can buy the skill cape once you hit level 99 in any skill for 99,000 gold).
Many of the skill you do are free to play but for the rest you have to become a member and pay a monthy fee of £3.50 (for the uk) or $5.99 (usa) these are the cheapest way to pay for membership the other way to pay for membership is by going to game.co.uk, gamestation.co.uk or gamestop.com to buy a 90 day membership card but the only time you can get them is when jagex advertises them on the runescape homepage.

You may have heard people complaining that runescape is full of bots that is true but there is a easy why to avoid seeing them, i tend to play on server 127 the only way to get to that server is by scrolling down to the bottom of the page to where you can see four little flags click on the green one and the whole page will change into the Portuguese Language, or you can click on the French or German flags these will let you play on other servers that don't show up on the english homepage of the site.

All in all it is a great game to play.

Edit. 3/11/11...
Jagex Staff got out the banhammers again last week and terminated an estimated 98% of the botting accounts.
The week when Jagex got out the banhammers for botters they give the players a week long event (monday to friday). The players got bonus xp for shooting stars and evil trees at the rate of 3 times the normal amount and few more. Double the amount of castle wars tickets and soul wars points and many more, the bonuses giving was different for each day, with the triple xp for shooting stars and evil trees on the same day.

www.runescape.com is a website where it brings you to a massive multiplayer website, it used to be a great game until the lovely people from the JaGex HQ has placed something known as the refer a friend programmes, or programmes them self. As from adding their "programmes" they broke their own rule of RWT, as the RWT asks for your money, (unlike subscribing to membership) they don't do any thing to clean up their game, as not cleaning up their game, they are basically scamming you.

I've played runescape off and on for a few years. This game is great in some aspect, but it lacks in others. It is good in the way that there is a lot of free content and can keep you occupied for hours when you are trying to level up your skills. The downside is, it takes a very long time to level up after a few times and takes a lot of farming. You can find most people killing cows to level up their combat skills, which takes a very large amount of kills to level. Also, after farming only a few times for cowhides, you become rich which shows that the Runescape economy isn't very good. After farming cowhides for about 3hours, I can make about 60k gold. The graphics aren't very good, and I personally chose to play World of Warcraft. Though it isn't free, it offers a lot more than Runescape does. In conclusion, if you want to play a free game that can keep you intrested for a long time, you can get on Runescape. But, I find that after playing for a long time, I have to stop because leveling becomes so aggonizingly long.
