Game Review: Runescape
Quite a few people really hate this game. Why? Bad reputation for one part. Another part might be the boring beginning of the game. I played runescape for the better part of 2 years, my experiences were both good and bad. For one part, about 85% of the population of people playing runescape are:
1: Extremely immature and rude
2: Wanting to scam you for all you have
3: On the game about 12 hours a day
4: Going to kill you as soon as you follow them into PvP zones
5: Under level 70
I know it seems like a bad start for a review, but I really was not happy about the time I put into the game and what I got out of it. The server system is nice to an extent, with over 100 different world you can go to. Unlike some games, you arent restricted to a single server. Each server can hold 2000 people at a time, and you can move to different ones at will. Some of the things you will notice in the game is that you start in a place called Tutorial Island. You cannot leave Tutorial Island until you complete it, which takes about 30 minutes.
After you leave tutorial island you are thrown into a town with no direction on where to go next. People will most likely be running around and killing different animals. Some may look cool, some not. Skip about 30 levels and you are trying to get your skills up. Another interesting feature is all the skills you have. There are combat skills including Magic, Archery, Attack, Strength, and Defense. Along with a wide array of other skills that you really dont NEED in the game. There are probably over 150 quests now, some take 20 minutes, some can span the course of 8 to 10 hours. One major part of the game is called the “Wilderness”. This is the PvP zone. basically there are levels in the wilderness from 1 up. The levels basically mean the margain of levels up and down from yours that can attack you. So if you are level 60 and in 20 wilderness, levels 40-80 can attack you. If you attack someone that hasnt attacked you or anyone else, you get “skulled”. A skull and Crossbones appear above your head, and anyone can attack you without them getting one. People spend days in the wilderness, so it’s not advised to go in unless you know what you are doing.
Overall, the game wasn’t as bad as some people will tell you, I give it a 6/10 for scoring, as most of the game requires you to pay, and its extremely boring most of the time.
Final Score: 6/10
