Why SpoonScape is wrong for you

[Icefalcon]

If you have Kazaa running in the background, you are gonna lag no matter how fast a connection you have. Im suspecting thats Klyaksa\'s problem...

But uh, runescape had held my attention for quite a while way back when. It was only after completing every quest including the Green Dragon Quest and raising all my skills over lv 50 that I realized that it was stupid. How long does it take to level when your 60+ like I was, you could sit in one spot for days...clicking...clicking...clicking untill you finally got another level. Not only that, but the game has many other problems with it. Such as combat has no purpose. You could make more in 10 min. of mining than you could killing 50 lesser demons. WTH?

I guess the only time I actually had real fun was when I was PKing and all the little noobs screamed Stop! Stop! before you killed them. Then on the private chat, they demand you give back their little bronze pickaxe that they lost. Ah.... that was kinda fun...

It really is fun toying with the noobs in that game. I started last april and came here when it started taking a couple days to raise smithing (hiting rocks for hours is not the most exciting thing to do) I sometimes go back when im really bored to crush the spirits of beggars (now thats where the real fun is )

[Zackery]

Oh, so that\'s why you damned high levels do that. For fun. I am utterly disgusted.(Pssst. What lvl do i have to be to join the meaness to noobs. LOL.

bah! I played that game for over a year with all the free skills over level 50. The only thing that kept my interest was the fact that my friends played it and we would go out adventuring together.
Then I realised how much of my life I had just wasted. So I remembered one of my friends from America telling me about a game called Tibia, I had lost contact with her a few months before hand though . So I played Tibia and was impressed with how much better than runescape the community was and all those little features that made the game more fun. But then I hit level 14 I think and then lost interest as there wasnt that much to do anymore.
Then I was told about a game called Puzzle Pirates that was in beta so I got addicted to that untill you had to pay to play X(
Then I went back to playing Unreal Tournament 1 and got too good and was able to get headshots on the other side of anylevel without walls in the way without zooming in even if the enemy was pulling off fancy dodging manuvours.
Then I got Jedi Academy as soon as it came out and played that heeps untill I got Morrowind then I played that heeps.
Then I came across PlaneShift on accident (dont ask) and I had found that best game ever! Then it stopped working so then I played Unreal Tournament 2004

Fallout, that was a game worth playing (and the ashron\'s call open beta) ... anway... that\'s all....

That game Sucks !!!!!!!!!1111

Magic system sucked ! (no heal & not mage friendly to )
 
Range system sucked !

Classes sucked !

The Community sucked !

The Items sucked ! (weapons, armour )

The Graphics Sucked ! (unless your still liveing in 1994)
 
Quests Sucked !

Fighting sucked !

And it had Too many gawd dammed n00bs !

In a nut shell It SUCKED !

I\'d Like to continue but just rembering that game hurts my head !

Besides all we need is more GMs online to moderate the players ( no not aendar his already a demi god you dont want a Full Elf god ! i dont want pointy ears !  )

[Kazorn]

Yeah, i played the-game-that-shall-not-be-named too and i would just like to add that it was incredibly imbalanced, you only had a chance in the wilderness if you were very high at strenght and very low in everything else.

Here\'s a real PlaneShift convert for you.

I came here from a years-long addiction to Avalon.

Avalon is massively multiplayer, yes.
It\'s a text MUD, though, because it\'s so big it can\'t sustain graphics.
Price tag: $24/mo.

Why play? Well, back in the day it was a really good community with a lot of role-playing and the most exhilirating PvP I\'ve ever encountered (still).

But now? Cheating, politics, and over-immersion make Avalon as stressful as having a second real life. It\'s freaking ridiculous. People have lost their jobs, left their families, gone bankrupt, and even committed suicide over the game.

But I\'m OK, cos I found you guys!  

(sniffle, thanks you guys...  ;(   )

[DepthBlade]

meh if you play it you play it, if you enjoy it you enjoy it...there is no shame in it and if it is so bad that the name of the game is censored from this forum! Why is it you people continually bring it up, just shut up already about it...this topic is getting annoying!!!

WOW thats just sad

Playing runescape for one hour is worse for you than smoking 48547368335763060 packs or ciggarets a day.
