Review: Runescape ( no, really)

RuneScape... O.O

Yes,this review is about Runescape, not exactly the best "game" but a game nonetheless.

Runescape is a game where you start of as a normal everyday person, and you have about 32 skills you can improve on, these include woodcutting, smithing, mining, rune-crafting - and the more PvP based skills like strength, defense, magic, archery and attack.

This game is very open, even for the free to play section, it can take a long time to get from one corner of the map to the other, and the map includes many towns with quests, a grand exchange (sort of like an auction house) and many other things to waste your time on.

One thing i really like about this game is the "wilderness" which is where most of the worlds gamers play Runescape for - it is a PvP area, which is about quarter of the entire map (huge area) - it has a level system, meaning if I'm level 10 in level 1 wilderness, i can attack a level 9 or a level 11, if I'm level 50 and I'm in wilderness level 20, i can attack down to level 30 and up to level 70, etc.   - this really makes the game fun, as long as you don't die, that is.

The one thing that really really sucks about this game is, if you die in PvP, you loose your gear, Forever - you get to keep 3 items, if you got attacked, but if you initiated the attack and lost, you'd loose everything you where holding and you had equipped. - i really don't like this, at all... sure its good if you have OP gear and stats, but its so annoying to get that on a character if your new or not a member, or if you don't Bot.

all in all its a fun game to muck around with, but i cannot see my self getting really involved in it enough to pay for it, because the graphics, (even though good for a java plug in game) are SHIT. :)
