Recently I've been yearning for an RPG style game, to play as a peasant, or someone just trying to get by. Most RPGS I know , combat is the main focus, with minor skills on the side.

 

 

 

Runescape is my favorite RPG due to the wide amount of skills, but on and off since 2003/4 i've never got stuck in since I first started, I always get bored, or just think 'the hell with it' and stop playing.

 

 

 

I resubbed today because I just wanted to fish , mine an do stuff to make money. I can't really be assed for quests and fighting. I just wanna...play like a civilian kinda...

 

Anyone else play RS like this?

 

 

 

(I even made my clothes ripped and rugged !)

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I can get back into Runescape like I did years ago, there's loads more stuff added, it's quite impressive actually!

Yeah it's called skilling.

Sometimes I like to change my hair and go around in monk robes and my prayerbook and a staff and pretend I'm a monk :

There's nothing weird about preferring to play like that. Personally, I'm not too fond of runescape's "heroic" activities such as questing and slaying dragons either.

 

 

 

Being self-sufficient in runescape is what I enjoy most, and in order to be so you have to spend most of your time playing the good ol' citizen.

its called roleplaying

 

 

 

theres even a server for that :thumbsup:

 

 

 

I often walk around looking cool too

Sometimes it's fun to act as if you have no money. Then see how much you can make in one day using your skills.

I think I know what you mean.

 

 

 

Do you mean starting with literally nothing, being dirt poor, and having to work your way up? I like those kind of games. Motherload, although not an online game, is a great example. I love how in the beginning you barely make a living drilling for bronzium and ironium, worth around 10-50 dollars. In the end, when you've reached 7,000 feet or so, there are literally 5 amazonite ores on the screen, each worth a whopping 500,000 dollars each. You can even purchase upgrades for your pod. That's definately one of xgen's classics. I love that game.

 

 

 

I wouldn't exactly classify runescape as one of those types of games. I've known people to get 100k on their first day.

EDIT: To the post below me, beat ya :

That would be World 42.

There are plenty days that i dont want to fight, i just do some quests and skills some more. :)

In the good ol' days, when i got bored, i'd go into the wilderness with absolutely nothing with me, which is kinda like starting with nothing and barely getting by. I would wander around, avoiding pkers, and picking up anything good that i saw to protect myself as best as possible. It was fun. Once or twice i even got enough armour/ good stuff to kill afew people and get even better stuff. In the end, I always got killed though, it was fun to see how long i'd last.

 

 

 

These days, it's alot easier, and not as fun, with no pkers to run away from and dodge, there's less risk. Still, those ghosts that wander around do provide some risk... Try it though, I always enjoyed a day in the wilderness, barely surviving!

lol, i don't get the roleplaying server..

Yes, Iv always wanted to find a game like this, sadly, havnt found one yet, except, Elder Scrolls, that series has always captivated me in that aspect.

aweh meh gee, that game is so much fun lol.

 

 

 

OT: skillers are kewl beans, and role playing (altho im not into it) aint bad =D>

oh my yes. rpgs are for role playing! be a peasant, be a thief, be an old crazy hermit.

 

 

 

just play the way that makes you happy! :D

I once looked like a chef and equipped a mud pie, and pretended i was a new jagex invention, player made random event :lol:

This is the main reason I like RuneScape. Its not solely combat orientated.

Welcome to my BLOG

You're not alone. There are many who plays RS just like you :).

 

Myself I prefer training all skills, and I try to have them at the same level. But most often my combat skills are a little higher than the rest of my skills, but it's no big difference.

Ironically, that was my homeworld ever since I started playing, and I love to RP.

 

 

 

Sadly, noone i've ever met there actully RPs... it's about the same as the other worlds. (though I do meet some pretty nice people there)

 

 

 

I'd love to have some more RPers come over here.. we definitly need it.

But I suppose it is better to sit and listen than regret what you said.
