A game people love to bash, despite being fairly good overall. Yes, it's addictive to new players, and there's a lot of grind involved, but coming from the high level community I can say that it's very enjoyable, once you get to the point I'm at at least. If you play like it's your day-job then of course you're going to get addicted and eventually bored of it, and grow to despise it. But once you really get to know the game, it's community, and it's massive YouTube community, the grinding aspect becomes irrelevant and easy, and the game becomes very rewarding (Assuming you actually pay to play, otherwise the game's a massive waste of time with no real goals or purposes.)
Noob: "Runescape sucks, I caught 23000 trout and then I got scammed and died."
Good Player: "I'm gonna go trio Nex (a difficult boss), then go PKing on the pure I made in 4 hours that has a higher total level than you."

Simply put : The most addictive and time-wasting thing someone can involve themselves in. If you haven't played NEVER START! If you quit, you'll eventaully be sucked back in.
1: Have you played Runescape?
2: I've racked up 140+ days of game play, Made 200+ accounts, played since 2004, and quit numerous times. Each time I quit I drop all my st00f; and before the GE, I would give it all away.

Runescape is a MMORPG created by JaGeX Ltd. The game offers a player many skills to train such as all forms of combat (magic, ranged, and mele) as well as non-combat skills like mining and runecrafting.
The game has a large amount of players in F2p (free to play) and in P2p (pay to play). The free version is almost like a demo, which gives the player a basic understanding of the game as well as hundreds of items to use. The pay to play version has exponentially larger amounts of items, quests, and skills to train. The Pay to play version costs $5.99 a month.
Many people enjoy the game, but also, many people despise it for it's graphics, repetitive gameplay (Point and click style), and large amounts of younger kids starting off accounts in the F2p version.
Also, the game is described as being HIGHLY addictive. As a current runescape player myself, I suggest Taking large amounts of time off of playing runescape to focus on school work and a social life.
If given the opportunity to socialize with friends or train a Runescape Account, choose the friends, RuneScape Accounts will always be there for you, and are not deleted by JaGeX unless the account has had over approx. 500+ days of no use.

Stupid game where 850.000 people =(guys of 12 years old, nerds, fags, guys with no life.) play this game because they have no idea how many things they miss in real life. I hear nerds and fags talking to me about how their daily runescape life was. E.G. "YES, Almost 2 levels further and I can fish sharks." Then the non-players (Including me) react like "Yaaay" in the meaning of "Do we care?" I have a friend who is never changing of subject to talk when we are heading to watch a movie, or renting a game or when I'm sporting and he's phoning me about what I'm doing, I'm inviting him to sport with me and asks him to wear training clothes but when he comes I don't see his training clothes just as nerdy as it always is and he comes with bullshit talks of runescape.
Aland: Hey what's up you coming to watch e.g. "Fuck runescape?"
Christophe: Yeah sure.
When they're heading to the movie.
Christophe: Hey guess what I was training and training I continued some people advised me to stop.
Aland (Thinks): Wow, he did some training exercises.
Christophe: But I didnt stop but when I had low health I quickly ran back to varrock and....
*Breaking conversation*
Aland (Thinks): Haaaah, he was talking about getting muscles in anti-real life AKA runescape.
Christophe: But still I'm wondering why are these giant moss spiders always dropping me mithril axes, that sounds cool.
Aland: You know what I want that they must drop?
Christophe: What?
Aland: A message wrote in big saying: STOP TALKING SHIT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT YOU SAY AND STOP PLAYING RUNESCAPE AND PLAY REAL LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
Christophe: Yeah sure.

A game you should never play. It may seem fun at first but after 2 years you will say to yourself "Holy Shit! This game blows!".
Runescape is a game run by middle school kids because they don't halfto get off thier lazy asses and get a job at CVS, which you will in turn get fired from for no god damn reason.
