Give me a break!!!!!! Maturity level? Current players of RS just haven't been around long enough to remember the rediculious immaturity of players in the first few years of the game. Before there was gang Pkers in RS, there were gang harrassers. Any female character was fair game for many individuals to mock, make fun of, make dirty jokes about or threaten with killing in the wild. (And Back then with only 9 servers it wasn't hard to find someone who jumped servers to get away from harassment. Runescape is popular. it spreads by word of mouth as much as any advertising. Whole families play the game(and are usually the better behaved players in my opinion) Anytime you have expansion in a game, like in sports, the talent pool thins. In the case of games, talent and maturity are about the same. The more people play, the more immature people get into the pool of players. And everyone knows the bad apples get most attention.
