Runescape, the mmorpg mostly played between from age 6 to 15. Millions are addicted to it, and new idols with high-level accounts are created, perfect example is zezima. But does runescape really worth the hours spending on it? Lets look at the pro and con of runescape.
PROs :
- It does not require purchase the game to play it. All players have to do is go on the site, register, and play, easy and simple.
- The game can be highly competitive and exciting. Features such as wilderness, mini games like the famous castlewars, barrows, barbarians assault are all very entertaining to play and enough.
- the very special thing about runescape is when a person dies, they do not lose experience or damage armor. Instead, they drop all the items on them except the best three items. This created numerous ways to play and fight for rewards. Wouldn’t you jump with joy as you see your opponent fell in the wilderness and leave a dragon chain body behind?
- Well, runescape also make friends online, some even go on further and become boyfriends and girlfriends, most of these friendship does not last long but it does happen in runescape.
- The five dollar per month price tag is extremely cheap compare to other games such as world of warcraft which cost 10 per month and guildwars which cost 50 dollars to buy the disc.
CONs :
- The graphic of runescape is dreadful, there is nothing to it. The people’s eyes are made of lines, bodies so blurry the genders between male and female can sometimes be confused.
- many accounts in runescape are hacked at least once, many people quit runescape just for this reason. The security is terrible in this game
- The fighting styles of the game are limited, you select a person to attack and you see the person does the exact same thing over and over again until you or the other is killed.
- sometimes when many people are on a world, it becomes extremely laggy. Primary example is world 2 Fallor Park. It is so lag here it takes 5 minutes to move one step.
- When trading, many people often fell for scamming tricks, for example, a person is buying rune 2 hand. A person comes and shows a rune 2 hand in notes, while the buyer is dragging money to the board; the seller quickly changed the rune 2 hand to iron 2 hand. The buyer did not notice and fell for the trick.
Overall, runescape is not worth to play because all of is pros are in other mmorpg. Maplestory is free compare to 5 dollars a month to runescape. World of Warcraft is more exciting and can make more friends than runescape. The cons of runescape however, does not exist in most mmorpg, many mmorpg have high protection, little scamming and runs very smoothly. Therefore people who are addicted to runescape, do some else, play outside, watch TV, do not play crappy games such as runescape.
