Runescape coming to Consoles?

It would be a pretty cool thing, but I believe most people have access to a computer. I'd stick to computer. The idea is awesome, but I like my Runescape the old fashioned way...on a computer with a keyboard and mouse.

Playing RuneScape on a flat screen TV in a Lazyboy chair... oh yeah, I can imagine that. Plus using Java makes my computer's modem run annoyingly loud, probably won't happen on the Wii.

As cool as it would be to have a controller to play Runescape, I still think the computer version is more fun. Because:
1. Can't look at the grand exchange on the website from a console
2. Can't go to Runescape fansites when you're on a console

And if you use a computer to do those while you're playing, you might as well be playing on the computer too.

Sounds pretty cool, more alternatives to play it if your computer somehow just doesn't work. But I'd still stick with the computer, more things you can view easily.

It's fine I guess. But I'll stay with my computer.

I do not own any of the consoles. I'd stick to the computer, it's just so original :wink:

Well this sounds very interesting and sounds like something that may work but always looks and works best on the computer. It sounds great but seems like it would take forever for perfection of this console based game. Maybe in the near future it will be more capable to achieve this but right now it seems a tad hard.

yea computer would probably be easiest. But if it did come out on console i probably would get it just to do small tasks such as farming. could you imagine trying for firecape with a wii controller? its just not as accurate i wouldnt think. It would just be like a secondary option really. like someone else said above it would be like only used also if the computer was taken.

lol and as for lazyboy chair.. imagine getting a projector and a nice big wall to do it on. Big screen baby

The Wii does not have very good online capability so I am not quite sure how that would work out.

Can't wait. Wii would be a bit annoying since the keyboard would be impossible to use...

If Xbox has a keyboard, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

there's a messenger one for the xbox controller,i have one

I'd still rather play on the computer, then I could check forums and switch tabs far, far easier.

i would think it would be a total failure
