    I loved runescape 2, but I never really seemed to connect with runescape 3. Simply because JAGEX tried to turn runescape into game it's not. JAGEX really went downhill with rs3.

    Decent MMO at first glance, but there is absolutely no support if you get hacked. You lose everything, and Jagex pats the hacker on the back and gives them a cake. Seriously though, You spend thousands of hours to get a few nice things, and lose them in a few minutes. There really is no support. You can't report it, and they will never help you.

    I have never seen a game so great turn to such s**t. Gerhard doesn't know the first thing about running an RPG, or a company.

The lore of the game has been corrupted by failed ideals, ruining a once life-filled, enjoyable gameplay time. The economy has been destroyed by years of merchants corrupting it with their money farming techniques. The community is completely immature and nothing to half a bit helpful to your needs. Quests became lifeless and monogamous. If you are considering joining their ranks, DO NOT. They do not deserve one cent and deserve to go bankrupt faster than they probably already will.… Expand

    This is without a doubt an incredibly fun game. A multitude of skills to train and activities to partake in. The developers allow you to vote for what updates you want (though this receives mixed feelings.) And a seemingly endless array of activities to do. So why the low score? The community. A majority of the community finds some innate, sick joy in ruining your game play experience.This is without a doubt an incredibly fun game.

They will go out of their way to do so. And there is nothing that can be done to stop it. Be it through text or actions in the game itself, expect to encounter someone who will ruin your RuneScape experience. As I have been around for years, I speak from experience. Avoid any group activities, as fellow players will ruin your experience.… Expand

    Still better than the Call Of Duty franchise. But seriously, what happened to this game? It used to be amazing! Now it's utter garbage - with "better graphics" that still look exactly the same and just destroy the performance.

Typical of Jagex to ruin their only good game.
    In fact, the only reason I didn't vote 0 was because of my old respect for RuneScape 1 and the masterpiece they forged with that. In my opinion, Jagex need to either revert to the simple days of RuneScape 1 or just stop digging a bigger hole for itself.    … Expand

    Worth game EVER.

    RS used to be an amazing game back when the Gowers owned it, but now it turned into complete ****

    I would not start this game if you've never played RS before.

    Being someone who has played Runescape off and on since 2005 I actually enjoyed they less grindy RS3. I don't have the time anymore to devote my entire life to one game and honestly would probably have never came back if they didn't go the "easier" route.

But with that said, I recently took apart of the "get a year for $79" deal that they do I guess every year. Well i'm very upset that I did. I feel like their updates as of lately are "let's just add more micortransactions and not include any ACTUAL updates for the PAYING customer". I'm not understanding how Boss fights either are the only single updates they've even done. The old runescape would have had several quests out by now. Very disappointed and won't be playing or resubscribing here on out. Will get my money's worth for the year though but i've already dropped my hours from maybe 20 a week to less than 5. Just sick of the excuses Jagex gives.

    I'd say Avoid and don't pay for sure. The updates have sucked.    … Expand

It is nearly impossible to make money or have fun in runescape because of the horrible amount of bots and macroers. I reported them every time I saw them yet runescape NEVER did anything about them and instead chooses to ban ME for absolutely no reason. Not to mention they will not refund you, ever unban your account, or even show you the evidence for their own mistake. I have been playing this game for over 2 years and I find it horrible that they would do this to someone. They won't answer any attempt at contacting them about it and they could care less about their players. I would reccomend NEVER playing this game unless you want to bore yourself and be robbed of 100s of hours of your life and all of your money just for the jagex team to wrongly ban your account and not show you evidence of their reason for banning you or allow you to contact them about it. One of the WORST games on the web.… Expand

    Ive bee playing Runescape since 2006 and at one point it was a great game. The graphics are nothing to write home about but who cares about graphics? The meat of this review is on the game itself, and how many ways Jagex has ruined it with their greed over the years. First of all its pay2win, not only that but there are 3 DIFFERENT ways you can pay2win. Which 90% of the community does, andIve bee playing Runescape since 2006 and at one point it was a great game. The graphics are nothing to write home about but who cares about graphics? The meat of this review is on the game itself, and how many ways Jagex has ruined it with their greed over the years. First of all its pay2win, not only that but there are 3 DIFFERENT ways you can pay2win. Which 90% of the community does, and that brings me to my next point. To do ANYTHING worthwhile in this game you have to dedicate so much of your own time its appalling. To get the easiest 99 would take about 24-48 hours playing NON STOP and using the fastest methods which would require obscene amounts of money. (which is also hard to get) Otherwise your going to spend weeks or months at a time reaching the max level in most skills, and when i say weeks or months at a time i mean playing at LEAST 8 hours EVERY DAY! Now money is another big factor in this game, see the problem with money is you need large amounts of it for anything decent in this game, but have fun trying to get large amounts of it! If you dont pay2win your options are to kill monsters and beg and pray for lucky drops which only cost a small fraction of the amount you need, or cut down trees, mine rocks, or fish for moths at a time. Now i must add that some players have found ways to make money that go against the rules so you can also do that. And finally the combat system, a few years ago they released a new combat system into Runescape that pissed the majority of the community off and caused them to quit, (oh yea thats another thing this game is dead empty minigames and worlds.) Anyways the majority of players quit due to a bad CB system and Jagex has gotten CONSTANT complaints about it like every single day somebody says it needs to be removed on the forums. But they dont listen so were stuck with this crummy system, so if you wanna try Runescape be prepared to NOT PVP due to a broken system.

    In conclusion Runescape just makes me sad and angry these days, it was so much fun back in the day and its been made into such an infuriating experience i cant even stomach it anymore.

    PS: Ive been playing over 12 years and still not maxed. Thats some dedication and that some rediculous amount of time having to be spent!!    … Expand

    I just quit playing Runescape last night again. I played several years ago and quit because the community was one of the worst I had ever seen and the owners Jagex only cared about the money coming in instead of having a reputable game. Now with different people in charge that still only care about the money coming in the game has become even worse.

Now with different people in charge that still only care about the money coming in the game has become even worse.

    The game has been made so easy that it is pathetic. They are even trying to introduce micro-transactions which are the hallmark of a scamming game. I came back to play the new Ironman mode which was supposed to be basically a single player mode with no GE or trading. Every chance that they get they work around the Ironman theme to keep what group or forced interaction with other players that they already have. On top of that, players have already maxed out accounts with all 99s in 10 months.

    The community now mostly consists of high level players, because the game is now a joke, that like to act like they accomplished something when the game had to be made easier for them. They are extremely pathetic. They want more and more high level content which they wouldn't need in the first place if the game hadn't been made so easy.

    Jagex and Runescape should be considered a joke among Internet games and those that continue to play it should pretty much just get laughed at.    … Expand

    Graphically the game is a bit dated but does the job. The key issue with the game is that you will be bombarded with microtransactions at the risk of missing out or falling behind.

There's a members fee to unlock most of the content, a premier membership fee to unlock the full hero pass, treasure keys to provide monetary and xp bonuses, purchasable levels and buffs to obtain in- game advantages and to top it all off, this clutters the UI and generates in- game messages so you can't avoid seeing it. This means it affects your gameplay experience whether you participate or not.

    For these reasons, I cannot recommend Runescape 3 due to its predatory nature. There are many other good MMOs out there that aren't littered with microtransactions.    … Expand
