Runescape

If I were to find out where they were hiding, I'd come back to Runescape in the blink of an eye. It's a very fun, unique game. But the community makes me absolutely disgusted. Aren't there forums or something for anyone over 21? Where can I find like-minded RU players?

Eh Runescape has always been in a downward spiral when it comes to maturity...almost everyone I knew when I played was a teen or younger. But there were some 20 year olds in one of my clans. I think they're a dime a dozen and really hard to find, probably almost impossible unless you're a member. The free worlds are a mess. I think Jagex is making it for kids/teens, so that's the problem.

Not here that is for sure.  Maturity is not an age specific trait.  There are plenty of people that are under the age of 21 that are mature but there are also a lot of people that are over the age of 21 and are complete idiots.  Again there is no surefire way to find a purely mature group of people.

You kinda need to go to a mature game, I doubt there is many adults that actually waste their time on this pile of garbage... I could be wrong though.

Thank you for that link :)

I found a clan on egroups that has a few people over 21 years of age; they are really nice and helpful. Let's see how this goes...

Anywhere but this website

Or any other gaming website for that matter.

At the library.....

(do we still have them?)

I disagree.

As one person here posted, maturity has nothing to do with age. That's true. If Runescape was full of eight year olds who seemed like engaging and interesting kids, I would be ok with it. But most, nearly all players of Runescape are not people I would feel proud knowing. I am positive that many of them think Linkin park is quality music and the world revolves around their friends who discuss mediocre stuff, and don't care about expanding their mind. What happened to kids who are bright and articulate? What is it about this game that attracts narrow-minded people? I don't think I've ever seen someone reach out to a player or simply lend a helping hand in this game. Most of the players are so self-absorbed and selfish. I really don't understand it. Is this game like a lure for the pathetic of the world (with very few exceptions)? The community here makes me ill, not the actual game itself.
