This a late and I mean REALLy late post, but from someone who has just quite runescape I need to give my opinion. First of all runescape does not suck, if it does then every other MMo sucks because runescape is more of the same of other games. Sure it has it's problems, some very serious problems that I'll get into later, but no game would be a game without it's problems. Runescape like WoW is addicting, I'v played it for about four year two of those years as a member and I'v enjoyed most of the time on it. The game has also come a looooong way from what it used to be and it's still improving on graphics and content, and thats all we can really ask for. Now the major problems that make it a ball buster to play is it's broken leveing system, you mean to tell me that when i get to level 50 in a skill exp wise I'm not half way? More like when you get to level 95 THEN your half way to 99. The over the top grind, all MMOs have a grind factor to it, but runescape takes the cake in "death by grind." to the point you can waist a whole week and gain only one level. Jagex them selfs. Now i tip my hat to jagex for makeing such a good addicting game, and at the same time i kick them in the balls for but fucking a good game, all i will say is dwarf mini cannon, if you don't know what it is then you don't know true rage. But the last VERY big problem runescape has is the amount of hackers that seem to infest the game. I'v never played game where there were so many damned bots in my life, and the main reason i left runescape is because of the hackers that get a joy out of stealing your hard hearded items that you spent countless and i do mean countless hours grinding to get, the reason why i left some ass hole hacked my account right before bonus exp weekend and stole everything i had, that was the final straw with runescape for me. But in all it's a good game worth a play and if you plan on exspanding your time with the game upgrade to members. But if you can't stand people hacking you around every cornor, the stupid over powered cannons, the broken leveling system, and the fuck off grind then take it from me, look else where.
