I believe the writer of this article is wrong in saying that the community is the key to runescape/main reason for it's success. I think that the real reason that runescape is so popular despite it's lower quality graphics is the addictive nature of the gameplay, i.e. having to get to a certain level in a skill or getting enough money to afford a certain item. Also.. In the article it says that the heavy marketing of the 3 new consoles is causing heavy casualties for pc gaming, I don't think pc gaming will ever go away, or be diminished by consoles, all the same things about pc gaming dying out were said when the ps2, xbox, and gamecube were just released and nothing happened.
