i played runescape, i even had a membership account. i thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
then i was reintroduced to planeshift (began playing when MB first came out, but stopped after my computer broke and i had to get a new one).
i now prefer planeshift to runescape, even though runescape has more quests, items, places, options, skills, and the like. i felt that runescape was far too cold and distant. the players were often very rude, or too l33t for me to understand them. i wanted a more roleplaying environment.
if you prefer runescape, go for it. it\'s a great game and fun to play (if you enjoy playing that kind of game).
sorry for the life-story of myself. just thought i\'d tell you why i switched from runescape, just in case any other of my runescape buddies decide to give planeshift a try. (though i don\'t think they\'d recognize me here. my runescape name was Paistinfionn.... a far cry from Sekhemet. plus that and i\'m a cat-person now. XD)
