July 28, 200520 yr That russian game that totally ripped off rs? I even forgot the name of it :? I'm sure some of you remember though.
July 28, 200520 yr Yeah its still going well. http://www.aw-online.net/awonline/ http://www.awplanet.com/e_pages/news.htm Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

July 28, 200520 yr Good gravy it really is a rip off! :shock: "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
July 28, 200520 yr Jumping Jehova's Witnesses... odd website. Looks like a more primitive, dumbed down, russain version of Runescape all right. Gamertag: King Arizona
July 28, 200520 yr Hahahaha, the maps even use the same icons and font. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.
July 28, 200520 yr 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.
July 28, 200520 yr 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
July 28, 200520 yr 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.
July 28, 200520 yr 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.

July 28, 200520 yr 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.
July 28, 200520 yr 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.
July 29, 200520 yr i remember playing that game years ago when someon posted the link on scapeboard.... :lol: it SUCKS its got all the basic rs skills then as loadsa other crappy skills that i didn't understand....like ya cud build a computer n stuff :? was weird....and was a total rip off of runescape http://www.aw-online.net/awonline/maps.php i mean come on...look at the f***in map icons :shock: :roll:
July 29, 200520 yr 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.
July 29, 200520 yr links arent working...i really wanna see this :lol: Everybody lovin' it, but ain't no body touchin' it
August 3, 200520 yr Hahaha, that's terrible. // Azvi. welcome to the 21st century, where everythings ripped off and made in china...(in this exception.. russia)
August 4, 200520 yr 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)
