What is runescape? what is it about? i'm 24, am i to old to play it?

Answer 1

Runescape is an f2p MMORPG with the p2p option.

That roughly translates to, "you can play videogames online with anyone and everyone, you can upgrade your character with different kinds of weapons and armor and clothing, and raise their attributes.

It is about you. You can choose to do one of the many quests that are offered or you can just slaughter things to level up.

You are never too old to play, however if you don't want to have a bunch of 12 year olds finding ways to cuss that aren't censored go ahead and try it. The game is somewhat fun, but gets old fast after the fifteenth, "I need help!" or ,"Will you please give me money?," and after you complete all the free quests and it gets harder to level up you are required to pay $5 per month to receive the option of expanding the accessible world, increasing the amounts of attributes to train, and the number of armors and weapons you can use.
The game is rather juvenile and a good thing for kids, but for the serious gamer, though there are some strategies needed, it is too simplistic and boring. If you want to try a real game go for World of Warcraft if you have $15 per month to pay for it, or Guild Wars if you want and MMORPG to play online for free.

Answer 2

Runescape is a fantasty online MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) you build up your character from the start and customise it as you play. And no you are not too old to play because really no one is going to know your age on the game, plus some areas of the game are for a more mature player (due to the dialogue, being complex in some areas. sometimes using Old English type speech). The general purpose of the game is to RP your character up levels and find out new information to help you with quests. (mainly the game is open with no ending) !!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!! some Runescape players are not trustworthy and WILL TRY TO SCAM YOU !!!!! ( access your account, steal all your items worth anything, sell them, trade the profit to their character, then finally change your password so you can never log into your account again.)

Answer 3

Runescape is a massive multiplayer online rpg (MMORPG) that is free to use. Basically it's a medieval land where you can be a warrior or mage and you complete tasks set by the game.

People of all ages play it.

Answer 4

runescape is one of the best rpg games but watch out it can be addicting. at first you create a person by gender clothes skin hair etc..... then you go through a training then into the real game. runescape features a very very numerous number of optons and things to do. and to love the game you dont have to like swords or knights and all.

Answer 5

runescape is a really good game sort of set in medieval times. you have to kill things to get your combat skills up (attack, strength, defence,range and magic) but there are other skills too. members can get much more out of the game and they pay at least £3.20 a month (not too bad). and youre never too old to play games lol.

by the way the top level is 126 not 900

Is she using up "some time" on the pc, and consequently you're disillusioned?

Answer 9

In this world, people want attention. They think they can obtain this in Runnescape by working on their character until they have reached the limit and gain limitless fame in the Runescape community. In reality, they shaved off 2-3 years of their life sitting in front of a computer screen.

Yes it's true Runescape is notorious for brainwashing people into addictive gamers. However, there are ways to stop yourself.

Mentally, you can tell yourself everytime you play that if you continue down this path, you will drop out of school or get fired from work and end up freeloading on your parents or worst end up on the streets.

Financially, you can stop playing the game slowly over time. In the first week, try to play only 3 hours a day and when the week is over, give yourself a dollar or two as a reward. The next week, play only 1.5 hours a day and give yourself a couple dollars at the end of the week. If you fail, then give back all your money to a keeper like ur parents or your bank account and restart the cycle. If you do succeed at the end of 6 months, use your money and go shopping and continue on with the path until Runescape is no more.

Physically, you can remove the power cable or modem card and store it in a location you do not know or block out the Runescape site using parental controls and have your parents lock it with a password you do not know.

Hardware speaking, there is a surge arrest device I saw on TV infomercial that shuts your computer down in a specified time adjusted by a password protected program. I forgot the name but go to TV infomercial websites and they should sell it.

A last option would be psychlogically where you have to go to a psychiatrist and the expert would prescribe you some medication.

As with all the options stated, it is best to do something else you enjoy to substitute for the time that you used to play Runescape.

One of the main reasons that people hate Runescape is because they get too attached from the start. The game is infamous for making newcomers addicted. One of the main reasons people go fanatic about Runescape is because it is java-based and is a small program. Players can download the game files onto any computer that is internet-ready in just a few minutes. As a result, players can play at work, at school, at home, or on a laptop.

This limitless availability to the game makes players lose focus on their daily life routines. The addiction takes over and when these routines are broken, players try to resolve this by playing even more. When they do come out of the habit, players finally realize that they wasted alot of time on Runescape and vent their frustration out against it.

In my opinion, almost any MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) can be addictive if it only requires you to download small files. For example, a MMORPG called Guild Wars requires you to download a 50 megabyte interface before playing it. Surely, no one would take the time to download big files while your supervisor is looking at you during work or school and it would be noticeable to them on the *add/remove programs as well*.

In conclusion, if you play a game that requires a big installation such as CD games or require high quality graphic cards, you would be less likely to be addicted because you cannot play that much and you can focus on your real life priorities.

I use to be addicted and near the end i got temporary banned twice. first time for multiple login and it lasted for 3 days. second time i got banned for advertising and that lasted 7 days. after that, they will permanetely ban your account if you break another rule. by that time, i stopped playing.

Yes I have played Runescape 2 but you don't want to play it. It is an addicting game because of the fact you can play it from any internet-ready computer. Aside from the lack of maturity of people in the game and how everyone is your *friends* to get into your wallet, it gets very repetitive once you get to combat level 60+. At this point, you would probably find yourself subscribing to their membership but it's not worth the 5 dollars USD. You think you have accessed more places to level your character. Then you dream about becoming the next *Zezima* with all 99 stat skills and reap the *imaginary reward* of limitless fame and fortune over the Runescape community. The reality is that this goal is hard to accomplish and you find yourself sitting in front of your computer more often.

Later, you would find yourself too addicted to detach from the game. Your real life friends would have forgotten about you because you care more about your 5 dollar USD membership than them. You try to fight your addiction by going outdoors and being more social but it's already too late and you seem to not *fit in* whereever you go. Sometimes it is even too hard to play another game because you think the controls and commands are too sophisticated and you give up by reverting back to Runescape primarily because the only control in that game is to click.

Worst case scenario (at combat lvl 100+), you end up isolated, depressed and do poorly in academics, social relations, or at your employment. You see yourself switching back and fourth from a dirty site to relieve yourself and the game using Alt-F4 because you haven't gotten *any* from a girl in the past 12 months. Your constantly keeping secrets from your parents and family because you don't want them to know your in this deep of a situation.

In conclusion, the really sick thing about this game is that after all this, you look at your stats and you think that you can still become the next *Zezima* and continue on.

This is the true realm that is called *Runescape*.
