    RuneScape 3

    PVP

    PvP in RuneScape is almost non-existent sadly when Jagex implemented the EoC it seems they either didn’t listen to the issues raised by the piking community or they just never tested EoC PVP (or both)
    Sadly pking is now a game of rock, paper, scissors. Each of the 3 combat styles are just a copy of the other which makes combat boring as everything feels the same. The above has led to major balancing issues in terms of PVP which is one of the main reasons PVP is dead.

    PVE

    Once again the EoC has turned a good part of the game into one of its worse features. The main problem with PVE is that the creatures haven’t been updated to use the EoC they attack the same way as before the only thing that’s different is that they hit harder and have more life points. However, because they still attack the same way as before they have become very easy to kill which makes the game boring and also makes the game too easy.

    PVM

    In 2013 Jagex thought PVM was the most important thing to focus on and to be fair the new end game PVM content they’ve created with the EoC has been enjoyed sadly however is only a very small amount of players who enjoy the content because like I said its END GAME PVM content lower level players and even higher level player who can’t afford the gear for the new bosses are forced to play the med – low level PVM content which has hardly been changed to work with EoC meanings the content is boring and too easy and overall not worth doing.

    Quests

    I can’t knock the quests in RuneScape especially the new quests as they are amazing sadly however quests were a rare thing in 2013. The main problem with quests is that a lot of them are very outdated.

    Mini games

    Mini games mainly focus on PVP, sadly as I’ve said above the PVP community has left RuneScape 3 thanks to the EoC. There are now very few mini games in RuneScape 3 which actually have people playing, match making systems are in the works to help people find games however this isn’t addressing the main problem.

    Skills

    The skilling system in any version of RuneScape has always been something which makes RuneScape one of the most unique MMOS, the skilling system in my eyes is perfect you can train whatever you want whenever you want, as there no classes in RuneScape 3 you’re not restricted in anyway this freedom is one reason my RuneScape 3 is still so popular.

    World

    The world of any MMO is brought to life by, graphics, audio and lore. RuneScape 3 uses a cartoon art style which works very well however sadly the games graphics feel half-finished, some parts of the game world have been graphically updated making them look almost out of place as you compare them to the rest of the world, sadly Jagex started something and it looks like they aren’t going to finish upgrading the worlds graphics anytime soon so the game world is like patch work, the main problem with this is most F2P areas have been upgraded and it’s the members (paid for areas) areas which have outdated graphics.

    With the release of RuneScape 3 Jagex thought it would be a good idea to spend a large amount of money on audio by upgrading the audio in some of the most populated areas in RuneScape 3, they also have servers just to stream the audio, however it seems that Jagex didn’t learn from the graphics problem that I talked about above as now the audio is inconsistent as well, also the servers streaming the audio don’t work either the audio lags or doesn’t play at all these audio problems haven’t been fixed since the launch of RuneScape 3 (22 July 2013)

    One good thing about the world of RuneScape 3 is the lore which is one of the reasons why quests are so gripping and interesting.

    Interface

    With the release of RuneScape 3 Jagex wanted to add a new interface system sadly however this new interface is very confusing creating and hiding things behind many menu’s, I’ve been playing Runescape for 5 years and I had a lot of difficulty finding certain features and from what I’ve heard some new players almost have no idea what they’re doing due to the confusing new interface system.

    I've been playing runescape since 2002 and I've had blast with it. The game play is simple anyone can play it. The quests are actually questsI've been playing runescape since 2002 and I've had blast with it. The game play is simple anyone can play it.

    Quite simply the greatest game ever made. A rating of 11/10 would be appropriate.
