Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

I just want to say that I completely agree with Zeta Reticuli. I was actually going to past something like what he said, but didn't because I'm really, really bad at explaining what I think and was worried that everyone would misunderstand me.
I mean something sucking can never be fact. Ever. It's opinion. Maybe things that make you think something's bad is something that other people like.
(please nobody say something like 'it's a fact that I was sucking on a mint earlier today' or something)

because games can be redundant, they can be shittily programmed, they can have complex features that are necessary, their graphics can be low quality, etc etc etc
you can all calculate these things numerically and in the end come up with an analysis of why the game is bad, and form an opinion backed up by solid fact
the point is ice bases his opinions on strawmen, false logic and plain untruths. he's delusional in believing what he does and doesn't like it when someone tells him what he believes is flat out wrong.
yes, you can still like the game.
it doesn't take away that the gameplay is awful, the graphics are subpar, it's all about grinding etc etc etc etc etc and all the other qualms people have with the game
there's a reason not many people play runescape and that is because it's shit

has to do with money not game quality
the quests are shitty and poorly worked out and take too long for proper reward. The graphics may be brilliant for Java, but Java sucks, and so do the graphics. Mini-games aren't a good reason to play a game. PKing can be done better and more efficiently in other games. I don't know what clan events are but it sounds like a shitty version of the WoW guild system.
Plus what would you do, grind together?
Then there's no good lore (just random crap passing for "fantasy", shitty town names etc etc
bla bla bla continue this discussion without me I am off to bed anyway fuckers smell ya later

Isn't this opinion?
Have you seen the programming? How do you know this?
What kind of complex features?
I'm just bad at understanding other people's explanations as well. :(
Ok, it's true that you can measure the quality of the graphics, but that doesn't necessarily lower the quality of the game.
If you have one game with good graphics and one with poor graphics, there's nothing stopping the game with poor graphics from having better gameplay.
Also, after you calculate all of these things, it's opinion in the end that makes it good or bad.
A computer or piece of paper with numbers on it can't say 'This puzzle/enemy is too easy/hard' It can't actually say 'I think this game is good/bad'. It can only give proof that some aspects aren't as good compared to other games. People might dislike these games as well. It doesn't make it a fact that those games are bad.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that saying something sucks is just opinion. I mean, I could say that Zelda sucks. But other people think that Zelda pwns (which, it does, IMO. I'm just using examples). I mean, is there a way to tell whether it does or doesn't suck? No.
But whatever. You can think it sucks, but just because you think it sucks doesn't mean that it does.

FEELING GREAT, FEELING GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
Okay, I know I said I'd leave, BUT:
Obviously there's something Ice likes about the game, or he wouldn't play it. Maybe it's that for some reason, he enjoys grinding. Or he likes... I don't know, collecting items or something. Sure, you can talk about how the game might have flaws, but you've gone past that. You're trying to tell him that he shouldn't play the game. And yes, I know what your reply is: "when did I ever say that". Just because you haven't flat out told him not to play it, doesn't mean that that's not what your message is. He can enjoy himself, even if the game he's playing has crappy graphics and is sloppily programmed or whatever. Maybe it's just fun... to him.
I think the people who hate Runescape have made their point, and it would probably be wiser to let this flame war die.
Now I'm leaving. For real. :|

STOP QUOTING INSIDE TEXT BOXES /eevee
yeah unfortunately you have to PAY to do those, while you're priding yourself on how runescape is free
And you want to download and play it in a browser because? Whatever is wrong with downloading anyway? And yes the graphics suck compared to every other mmorpg I've played.
But why would you WANT to do them?
Like I said, wow guild system
have you played the game
The whole damage system is screwed up like fucking hell. Was better in classic though.
This has no redeeming features in the gameplay whatsoever.
An opinion heavily influenced by solid fact based on proper reasoning, no?
No but it damn well shows what's good and bad and it damn well allows you to make an informed decision rather than spout madness based on non-issues and untruths.
Ily too AK but I'm monogamous

wat
agreeing with Zeta Reticuli but for the sake of this board
If it's shittily done, yes.
do you even fight things at all
Every single time you use an attack, there's no damn way whatsoever to guarantee what you'll hit. You could hit a 0 with that dragon battle axe, but you could also hit a 30. There's no rhyme or reason to it. I trained my defence to 70, and I got hit on like I was wearing robes or something; I've fought against people with 1 defence and no armor and I can't even touch them with 70 attack. At least in WoW I have a ROUGH range of what I'm going to hit with my shadow bolt.
