    when I last logged in, I posed the question to a group of players at willows on w126 I think. I asked what is everyones ages here?  these were the answers i was given:

    9, 11, 12, 12, 15, 13, 14, 11 10, 8, and suprisingly a guy said "43" .

    The 43 year old probably lied.

     I've never really understood a lot of these complaints.

     

    I've always found they were pretty straight forward.

    It requires a long time to get to level 99 in most skills. OK, fair enough. But there's no reason you have to grind all the way to 99 in any skill. You really only need about 1/4 of the XP required to get 99 (about level 85) to be able to do almost everything in Runescape. 

    The problem isn't how long the skillls take to level - I don't really mind that.  The real problem is the way the skills were designed.  They're so repetitive, boring, and uninteresting; there's no skill or technique involved (unless you call button mashing a skill).

    Plus, Runescape has been around for 6 years, and will be around I'm sure for 6 more. You have years to get 99. What's the rush?

    Again, there's no rush.  Read above.

    I'm guessing you want it all right now.

    AGAIN, read above.

    There are definitely a lot of less-than-mature players. Ignore them. You have an ignore list. I don't know how I manage to play and avoid all these people you seem to encounter.

    1)  I find it hard to believe how you don't encounter them.  It's almost impossible NOT to.  Take a trip to Lumbridge and read the general chat for 15 minutes; you'll see what we alla rgue about.

    2)  The fact that players have to use their ignore list (or turn off their public chat) so often just proves our point.  In no game should one be forced to ignore the community they play with.

    I've never, ever had to make use of Customer Support in the 3 years I've played. Then again, I've never been banned or muted for breaking the rules. Nor have I felt the need to complain "when's the Wildy coming back".

    Apparently you haven't experienced the enjoyment of the wilderness.  If you had, you would be complaining.

    Also, it's not only the wilderness.  It's the trade updates, the poor updates going on (they're STILL trying to fix things), the community, Jagex possibly lying on their number counter, aiming for a lower audience, the poor skills, the list just goes on.

    I'm just curious why it seems so many of you just hang around here and grieve that Runescape isn't everything you want in a MMORPG. 

    I'm surprised that RS fits your needs for an MMORPG.  How low are your standards?

    Find one that is what you want. Move on, and be positive. Dwelling in this negativity can't be good for your karma.

    I suppose you could call it dwelling. 

    I don't really get the comment about the karma...I've moved on.  I'm waiting for other great games on the horizon, and I've played some other ones. 

    If my karma was good, all this arguing would bring a Jagex dev to defend themselves on this forum.  I would have a field day with that :)

    Well I'm not that interested in taking territory ect.  What people like me are looking for is sandbox, twitch combat, ffa pvp, full loot with skills rather than levels in a persistant fantasy world.  Darkfall is the only game which is allegedly being released this year that I find myself remotely interested in.   

     

     

    IMO, that's the same thing as saying,  I'm just not interested in playing MMORPGs right now.

     

    The only game mentioned besides WAR that looks interesting to me,  and is actually releasing sometime in the relatively near future, is Champions Online.

    
     

    Still the poll was incomeplete (which is why you get so many "others" votes in your poll.

    I recommend you look into some of the games more, some of them sound great.

• • A few questions

  • Hey everyone.

    I was looking into WAR, but I am sort of let down that there is no death penalty.  So, since that kind of turns me away from WAR (I' might still get it), so I am curious about AION.  Just a couple questions that come to mind, if someone could please answer them that would be great:

    a)  How is the PvP?  Is it open, or just partial, or none at all?  Could someone explain how it works?

    b)  Is there a death penalty?  Is it harsh, or not that bad?

    Thanks for the help!

    P.S.  Sorry if this has been discussed before.
