I just dived in and start playing but I avoided myself alot of trouble and most of the rules should be common sense. I was one quiet f2p.

i have to admit i was ending 6th grade when i started runescape, but i still got the hang of playing by the rules without reading them. :

Like most others, I just jumped right in without reading the rules.

 

 

 

To be honest, if you're a regular gamer, then there's no need to read the rules, since they're VERY obvious anyway. They're similar to those found in most other games and are of course, just common good manners.

 

 

 

I have read them now though :)

Nope.

 

I kinda skimmed across them, got the jist of it and continued. :)

I'm pretty sure I've read them, but it was somewhere in RSC so I can't remember a thing of it.

No, I learned them later

 

 

 

Same.

I definitely read the rules...learned about the basics of the game and then started up with my first account. You should learn to read directions from school kiddies!

nope i diddnt read untill i was bout level 74 ( or somink :P) but the 1st rule i read was " don't do anything you wouldnt like done to you, and remember players are REAL people" :XD:

I don't remember, but I think I read a little bit about every rule, and after a few times I read all of them carefully.

I'm pretty sure I didn't. The rules are pretty much common sense like no badmouthing anyone, scamming, or whatever. It wasn't until I got somewhat into the game that I bothered to read the official rules.

I read the rules, the manual and printed off the world map :oops:

I think I did, read them at one point soon in my playing time either way.

I just started, un-aware of all this... till this came up...

 

 

 

**** you! and I was banned for a week... :wall:

Well in terms of service it said to read the rules so i did.

I have read them, but it was a while after I started playing. Most of them are common sense really, so it's not that big of a deal if you don't read them (unless you want to buy your gp illegaly :shame: , then you need to read them).

i read them about 3-4 months after i started playing only because i got bored in school and could't start the game from school computer.

No, I never read them then, But I read them later.

 

I was good enough to not have any problems with not reading it.

 

Basically, if you know your right from wrong, you're good.

 

 

 

Which can't be said for everyone... :|

At some point, I read all the rules. Though, starting out, I think I just dove in. Unlike most of the RS population, I had common sense going into playing, and since that's what 95% of the rules are, I was able to play without ever getting a black mark.
