Obviously you can't compare it to a game like EVE Online, but I'm just curious as to how steep people think Runescape's learning curve is. There's tutorial island in the beginning, but it really only glosses over the most basic gameplay elements, like lighting a fire or *snicker* baking bread. You get out of tutorial island and you have this giant world you have to learn about. Where do you mine ore? Where the hell is the bank? Where do you fish? Where's this place called Varrock you keep hearing about? And then you get to the plethora of acronyms we've invented for this game. fh, dds, sgs, bh, pvp, p2p, f2p, sos, pc, dp, cw, cw (again), dfs, etc, etc (goes on forever when you think about it). So, how difficult is it to get "good" at Runescape, and actually know enough to understand what everyone is talking about?
