Runescape Referrendum

Awesome Bro

Thank god, this is the best idea they'll have made in a long time, bring all the good stuff back! PvP was one of the best reasons to play, then they took it out, the game has gotten a little boring since then, so I really hope they bring 'em back based on peoples votes!
 
I went to the Wilderness once.

Once.

I was wearing dragon shield, helm, longsword, boots, legs, zammy top, and 500k in cash.

I never went in again.

You're doing it wrong!

You're supposed to spend a good 500k+ on runes and just kill every white blip on your map! D:

Seriously, magic > everything, especially when you can hit 40-50's in one shot (Which is now 400-500) with the higher level spells, sometimes more depending on the armour of the other players.

The only reason I stopped playing Runescape is because I discovered World of Warcraft...yes and I am not proud to say it, quite honestly. That game has ruined all other MMO's for me!

My younger brother is a Runescape fanatic. Tell me; how is the game on its own merits (not compared to WoW and the like)?
It's very repetitive, like all MMOs, but it can easily become addictive(it got me in for about 5 months in my younger days). There isn't a whole lot good about it, although its quests are actual scenarios and some of them are fairly neat, and there aren't many "Kill X Ys!"(there's a whole skill for that stuff instead).

It's pretty terrible but you can't be blamed for getting drawn in, basically.
(Hi feld!)
 
I used to play Runescape a few years ago when my friends got into it, was even a member for a few months. But then I stopped because my friends stopped and it got pretty boring, basically. Didn't have time to keep anything worthwhile up, haven't really gotten into an MMO since. I understand why people like playing video games but I honestly don't get how people can spend so much time playing MMOs. They're addicting, yeah, but if you're spending more than an hour a day playing it then it's too much imo. vOv

But yeah, Runescape. Is it still 99% 12 year olds or have the demographics changed a little?
 
An hour a day? Who restricts themselves from doing something they like to an hour a day, even with stuff like work and school and other obligations? Some things by their very nature takes more than an hour to do, like movies or working out.

Yeah lol, and even though trading is coming back, the prices of some items have plummeted in the Grand Exchange...

I logged in earlier today to have a look around, and full Rune (g) was going for 1.8m... I bought it for 3.7m like a month ago, I don't think the price would have halved that quick without this referrendum, lol. Oh well, I'll just wait until the wilderness is back properly, let people wear it and die, then I can sell mine higher... maybe. (Does not want to sell...)

Don't worry good sir I already have 4 whips anyway, lol.

... Can't remember how much I paid for 'em, but it was on lowest in the Grand Exchange, lol...

We’ve added a new feature to the old chat filter, now renamed as the profanity filter. Its default function is still to be turned on to filter out all the words (and URLs) on our blacklist, but we’ve added the option for you to turn the filter off. We recognise that RuneScape has a maturing player base and, as such, wish to give you the freedom to choose for yourselves, while also still keeping the filter for those players who do not wish to see swear words and the like.

Best thing they've done in years.
