You've played runescape right? Maybe you still play it. I've never heard a "professional" review of the game and I wanted to know what people think.
Heres my REVIEW:
Good for a f2p on the surface. I got reasonably high in the game (lvl 77) and just got bored. The quests aren't great. Most lack flare and are childish. The game actually becomes a chore as you progress. It simply isn't fun anymore at a certain point. For me, it was lvl 75. I also think its way to hard and tedious to keep pointing and clicking to make money. Sure, fishing lobbys for 5 hours is profitable, but it just takes too long, and most people don't have that time...I think. Some how, everyones rich though. Anyway, there were good points. I say "were" because those two good points are gone. The wilderness was great. Jagex tried to make up for it with the arena and bounty hunter, but its just not the same. The wilderness was the very reason for playing for my chums and I. Another good point was the trade system. Best I've ever seen. There weren't any real limits, which was great. But Jagex ruined the game because they took it too seriously. They took out pvp and ruined trading because people didn't have time to fish or pick flax for hours on end to make the 10mil thats needed to buy decent armor. But the worst thing about the game is the players. No one seems to want to help anyone else. There all pretty unfriendly and if your a lower level, your automatically registered as a noob. The 5 dollars a month isn't worth the membership. The whole game should be free actually, and the new graphics don't make the game better. The member world is just a free world with more tree's.
In conclusion, Runescape is good, if you don't know what a good MMORPG is. Jagex takes the game way too seriously and the quests are pretty, well, retarded. None of the in game world makes any sense (You can actually just murder guards, right in front of other guards).
The whole game can be down with a mouse, which also bothers me, because it takes away the freedom of roaming a large, virtual world. Combat is just ridiculous and lacks any skill other than throwing enough ancient magic or how fast you can special attack a dds.
If you want to waste your time playing an MMORPG, WoW is for you.
