Mindless Clicking + Terrible Graphics = Fun?

Seriously I think Jagex slips nicatine into their pixels, I will admit, RUNESCAPE IS NOT FUN. Yet the sense of accomplishment and recognition is far too addictive, I hate it, I can't stop playing.. Runescape is worse than smoking..

I agree with your "mindless clicking" part, but I personally think the graphics are pretty good for a free internet game. I mean the graphics don't get better once you sign up for members, thats why I made "free" bold. But what are you expecting? Xbox 360 graphics? I think the graphics are really good. One of the best i've ever seen for a game thats run of a website.

Doesn't do that one for many people.

I play it because its fun. The quest are fun to figure out, planning a way to get your lvls up the fastest without burning too much money is also fun. The game isn't about action and reflexes, but more about thinking, and that is why many people, or at least myself, play this game.

While playing the game doesn't take much brain power, playing it well, and doing the quests can. (Doesn't count if you use a guide)

The fact they worked hard for the pixels makes it even better.

because no one has a life and it is free if you are f2p and it is fun to get skills up and do quests... ask yourself why do people like ANY rpg?

I like it mainly because your in control of yourself. Its just a game, but doesn't tell you what to do. Its not Mario where you just complete the level.. These are other people whom you interact with, and can always block

It is because it's neverending. You always have something to do whether it is to train your skills or to do a quest or to talk to friends or even to pk. It also gives you a lot of lessens that you have to learn during gameplay, but overall they do put nicotine into their pixels along with some weed.

I think maybe because Rs has a big impact on one's life, having a rare item like a party hat or whatever... saying it costs 200mil on the game, where some people sell their Gp for rl money (1mil - 10 english pounds I think) with the 200mil they have around £2000 in Rs money.

People get addicted mostly because they want to achieve something in the game, whether its continously annoying people throughout the day, or making alot of money.

I know how you feel.

I'm still wondering everyday why i like this game... Clicking and clicking over and over again and on and on and on...

Boringness + Terrible Graphics = Addiction?

Kind of weird.

It is true. If runescape did not have the winderness, many people would just quit. The accomplishment of taking someone else's stuff without their consent is one of the greatest aspects of this game. Of course, all the little kids are going to grow up killing people, and stealing their victim's stuff, but its all good :lol:

Well, if you're truly addicted to RuneScape, you've at least thought about this... If your grandfather dies, and you ask "What did he drop"...you may be a RuneScaper.
