Just FYI there's a huge new combat rework in the making, already in playable beta

Runescape sucks nowadays, it was awesome until sometime in 2006, then it and Jagex went down the shitter.
fun stuff way back then, very neat trailer too

I somehow do not believe this
[QUOTE=Nikota;36683563]I remember mainly enjoying the music out of all things.[/QUOTE]
sometimes I still catch my mother humming the old music from Falador
I have to say the trailer isn't really representative of my Runescape experience. Killing untold amounts of Rock Crabs and picking millions of flax.
Holy crap, so many memories of this game.
I still have my old account that I created in 04.
The new combat system looks like an amazing upgrade.
Too bad the game is still shit as it used to be.
I used to play years ago, enjoyed it at the time other than a few bad things that happened to me because of other players.
I logged in a few months ago to see what had changed, but as i am no longer a member there is nothing at all i can do - my bank is full of member stuff.

This still looks like essentially a mash the correct button involving 0 skill or thought that would be as boring as making smoothies out of grass - and that's the end game content. I mean even the MMOs people seem to like (for example WoW) have pretty awful combat consisting of poorly defined movement/attacks/ranges to compensate for the massive issue of network speed being drastically slower than processing speed.
Because pre-rendered trailers give any indiciation about the quality of the game. :v:
I remember when I was a kid I pronounced Runescape as "run escape" :v:
God, the bandwagoning and nostalgia filter in this place is staggering.
[QUOTE=Mr Shadyface;36682783]To be fair, Runescape is a fairly solid and popular MMORPG.[/QUOTE]
Really the only thing that holds it back for me is the community and the art-style / graphics.
It hurts my eyes to play it.
Other than that though, the game is massive and would be alright with a few friends.
fucking runescape hate wagon is almost as bad as the CoD hate wagon, do you have any real reason to call it a shitty game? because it was pretty cool and had a lot of neat features.
Gotta give it to 'em, trailer's actually alright in my opinion.
I only play it because I've got 1000hours and $400 membership over 5 years invested in that account. I'll cruise through the new content, chat to my clan then wait another few weeks for a new quest. It's really a nostalgia thing for me, gameplay wise I've switched to Eve Online.
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;36683648]If they actually made some good realtime combat I'd definitely start playing again.[/QUOTE]
It is real time, except the game tick is 600milliseconds. That pretty much ensures equal combat between players up to 500ping.
[QUOTE=legolover122;36683769]That would actually be a large improvement IMO because now the combat is pretty much just click on the enemy and wait, with only a few attack variants to prefer damage or blocking or even amount of both.[/QUOTE]

Shining example of someone who hasn't played the game past an f2p character or two.
From what I see that's the case with most people here, you say it's shit when in reality you remember the game as it was ages ago and probably on a low-level F2p account. I myself have had a lot of characters, never really reached the endgame but still enjoyed it. I may come back when the Combat overhaul is finished, it looks interesting.
Man i was the coolest kid in my classes in 3rd grade because i was the only one who had a member account.
people who see that trailer and then play RS are going to be SEVERELY disappointed. what a bunch of hyperbolised rubbish - if I saw that i'd assume there'd be some kind of freeze spell, which there is, but you'd need atleast 30 hours played, and even then it's not 100%
fuck this has made me so unbelievably mad, trying to flog this garbage when it died years ago
I just randomly typed in from memory my username and what I thought was my password

What's funny is I tried logging in on this a while ago and I failed a couple of times before giving up. Sheer luck this time.

What, why does it matter that the Ice spells aren't handed out to new players at the beginning, and that fact that the actual freezing effect isn't absolute -100%- (mage class would be broke otherwise) and what does that have to do with the trailer
