mememe513 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 short, but interesting. I fail to see how one's avatar can be considered "art", however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letters to the editor will appear at the end of the month. Hmm... That just doesn't have the same ring as when underdog does it... lol short, but a good read Lol! It was a short and very interesting read. The first paragraph got me in, stopped me feeling like a weird person for playing the game. Kind of rasies some real life issues in that paragraph. Over all a great and short read - Just how i like 'em! more bank space for non-members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've compared RuneScape to a lot of things, but comparing it to Art in this such way, actually does make sense, and really gets down in there to explain why we play for so long, and why. May not answer everything, but it does shed light. Good Article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Runescape has far greater scope for fashioning avatars as tools or creating them as art than many other MMORPGs ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ particularly World of Warcraft, wherein your freedom to do as you wish with your character is much more constrained. The art of "fashioning characters" in games is know as role-playing, hence the RP in MMORPG. I love the last line. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudecrush8 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Great job adamfostas, you really hit the nail on the head... thats the truth behind why we play, plain and simple :) . "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin. They fight for honor, glory and new content sacrificing themselves so that their game may live on. This is Madness! This Is JAGEEEX!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloody_scife Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Short but sweet, a good read.

slickmovedud Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've compared RuneScape to a lot of things, but comparing it to Art in this such way, actually does make sense, and really gets down in there to explain why we play for so long, and why. May not answer everything, but it does shed light. Good Article. yeah you're right about how comparing it to art is right b/c you work on something for a while and when its finallly completed-whew....- But even so runescape is now a game that has no purpose to play(it used to before the update(i don't sell stuff on ebay in case you're wondering :wink: )).

lit0ua Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Nice read, but I was expecting for something a bit longer... :-w [Click here to help stop World-Hunger.] ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenramoth Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 very nice. but i like the ones that take longer than 5 minutes to read. also, the avatar as art was hardly mentioned. they just quickly compared it to WoW. That normally isn't much of a comparison anyways, since everyone knows WoW is a joke. anyways, hopefully next weeks will be longer. Or even better, do like a christmas in Runescape for the times on christmas. P.S. how come this forum is all about Runescape, yet when i'm typing, it points out that Runescape isn't a word? We all know it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Another boring guest article, may I ask where the Editor went? Did he die? I disagree, this article took a very common topic and answered it effectively. yeah you're right about how comparing it to art is right b/c you work on something for a while and when its finallly completed-whew....- But even so runescape is now a game that has no purpose to play(it used to before the update(i don't sell stuff on ebay in case you're wondering Wink )). Everything has a purpose. It may not be a "saving the world" purpose, but there is a purpose behind it none the less. Such as feeding your mother. It may not seem to have much purpose, as she can get her own food and will get hungry again anyways. The purpose of Runescape is to have fun and enjoy escaping the constraints and responsibilities of real life.
