Runescape has a much more active community than many of the popular online games. Welcome to the world of MMORPGs. I fail to see how the other MMO's take more skill than Runescape, and I've tried several. For such a small Java game the graphics are great. Any better and the client size would have increased a lot. I'm not saying the review was unfair, but those points weren't well thought-out IMHO. 1. No, no it doesn't. Most MMORPG"s nowadays have things like mod/admin guided storlines and daily activities. 2. Oh so many are more than positioning your mouse and clicking while you watch T.V. 3. They are saying, that it is ugly for that reason. It does look good for what resources it uses, but it's still ugly compared to the other MMORPG's that still charge.
