Phil Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It's much worse than runescape to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It's much worse than runescape to play. yep, a lot worse. hopefully they at least fixed the mod problems, if you are not russian and get a high level in something they look at every little thing you do to find an excuse for banning you. at least some of them did, others just banned people for no reason. that was a long time ago then, last time i checked my character was deleted.

thebeave Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I remember Ogre Island too. It was made with the same concept as Runescape. I played it in the beta stage. I haven't played that game in about three years. http://www.strange-facts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purcell364 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I also remember a fairly big player of RS at the time who posted a lot on scapeboard, decided to quit runescape for it. After about 2 or 3 months they locked his character in the jail because he wasnt russian and he came back to rs. good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIPPOU Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Jumping Jehova's Witnesses... odd website. Looks like a more primitive, dumbed down, russain version of Runescape all right. actually that is more advanced than RS1, when is when it came out...I am surprised they haven't gone over to RS2 grafics yet. ********** One of the old guard of RS.

blade995 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Does Jagex know about this game? Are they going to do something about it? Or is it changed just enough to not be "considered" a rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Does Jagex know about this game? Are they going to do something about it? Or is it changed just enough to not be "considered" a rip. pretty much all the non russians that played that game came directly from rs, and they were all asking that same question years ago. it was generally conceeded that the game sucked to much to be a problem.

ItsClueless Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Let me ask you this, what isnt ripped off? Its called competition if a company sees that another company's business is going well, they will copy some of the things. This is VERY common with for example automotive manufacturers. So before you rip on somebody about ripping something off, get our of your closet and take a look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLancer Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I quit this game a long time ago since I was continuously put in jail by the russian moderators for 'stealing mining resources' (mining for more than 2 hours at a time) and 'excessive use of training facilities' (staying in a monster pit for more than 1 hour), while the people from Russia got to do whatever the heck the wanted. I know the russian language pretty fluently, but it doesn't matter because they will just look at your IP. ... Ever heard of copyright infridgement? Yes, a lot of ripping off happens in the world but there is a fine line which shouldn't be crossed, if you do you will most likely be sued for millions in the modern world, that's how things work today. I'm actually amazed that Jagex has not sued this company, though I don't really care since I haven't played either game for years. While ripping off does occur in the world, you can't get away with making an exact Toyota replica, naming it 'Toyata' and marketing it with the original brand and logo. That's almost what AW is doing. (Not relating to the name or brand really but the content in the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
