Like a weird kind of crack
I played this game on and off since middle school. I remember going to the library just to play this game.

I also remember in 2007 spending a lot of my summer roadtrip with a portable hotspot and a laptop playing the game. The next time I remember playing a lot was at my college with a friend of mine. Then over the years no matter what updates theyve done I've played on and off. I have gotten to a point where I had kept a bond to be able to play whenever I got the urge, but a couple weeks ago decided to buy longer term membership.

This guy also mostly uses only the mechanics available at each quest's time of release, so it's fun to watch the game evolve in retrospect.

Though I think nowadays I would never have the patience to play an MMO, there was definitely something special about this game back in the day. Its scope, sense of freedom, and community interaction were kind of the main draw, but the authored quests had a fun sense of humor and gave a lot of life to the game as well. There is a lot more nostalgic pull than I expected with some of these things.

This was the game that introduced me to online gaming so it will always hold a special place in my memories. I had a blast playing this game until the Evolution of Combat update changed everything. I quit playing almost immediately after those changes went live.
Review Cheezpuff 3/5 · Feb 23, 2016
I held on for way too long, then just stopped.
I just stopped playing Runescape, cold turkey. I told none of my RS buds, but after Completionist-ing and keeping it up for a bit over a year, that was enough. No more MMO whatever for me. I will always treasure Runescape for filling most of my highscool and college days, but man Runescape was kinda bad (gameplay wise), despite all …

This game was pure genius until it became commercial.
