Alright now that I\'ve played Runescape I can have a little more opinion on the matter, and although it\'s a very nice looking and huge java program I cannot see why anyone would play that over any of many free Ultima Online shards that are out there, such as Imagine Nation (if that one still exists). RS doesn\'t seem to have much in the way of sound, and it lags like a bastard, the avatars aren\'t particularly complex either, and although it\'s a cool free game it falls short when compared to other free MMORPGS available, a very novel idea though.
