mrmyk Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 mini-games of runescape come in many shapes and sizes. Some rely on teamwork and a group to win while others just need 1 person to work properly. do it yourself: These mini-games usually are geared towards some sort of reward for examples the armour in barrows or the experiance in the agility pyramid. In these games you can only rely on yourself and only blame yourself if you fail unlike in team based games. This also means games can become very repetitive and boring so you dont get much enjoyment out of playing them. team games: These mini-games are usually geared towards enjoyment with little rewards which can build up to an item or experiance for example the gold castlewars armour which very few people have as it takes such a long time to get. In these games you need to rely on your team and act as a team. In these games i think communication is important as if one person does a silly mistake (loses flag within first minute in castlewars) then the whole game may be lost. This may mean that you can get very frustrated if you have a low level who is clueless on what to do but it can also provide great enjoyment as no game is the same. Discuss which type you prefer my answer: i prefer team based games due to the adrenalin rush (rare but possible) and the fact that no game is the same. I spent 2 days at barrows, made 5mil but was very bored while i stayed 3 weeks at castlewars and only after about 2.5 weeks i started to get tired of it.

x_bow80 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I like team games just a little bit more. I love barrows, but i will never get tired of CW 99 Pics - Range, Defence, HP, Attack, Magic, Strength, Cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivion2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Single person minigames for me. I don't like working with others when only a few people are actually contributing. If I could find a large group of people who know what they are doing for a team game then I'd definitly go but those are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebdragon Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Castle Wars is fun. MTA is good experience and cash. So, I choose on what I want in the end, a fun time or advancing my character.

Michael Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I like castle wars but I find it annoying when I'm shouted at for destroying cades with little health and replacing them with new ones. Some people have no aspect of tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatshepsutLecter Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I prefer the single person game over the team based game. It frustrates me in the team setting that a couple of idiots can completely ruin an entire game. If I am doing a single player game then I have noone but myself to blame if something gets screwed up.

meb Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Telekinetic arena is fun to a certain extent... The only thing that really bores me is the alching. Other than that, MTA is my favourite. I like the solo games better.

Dalcyte Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Team minigames are much more fun, but obviously the benefits of single minigames are much more rewarding, aside from PC. And i don't think DK are a miniagme, just as much as KQ or KBD are...Barrows is, although it doesn't really have a symbol, its one classified by jagex. But me personally, i don't consider it one because there's not much minigame about it.

Soma2035 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Solo. I can't really think of any team minigames I enjoy... Fight caves is definitely for 1 person. Trawler is much easier alone than with a group. Barrows is better alone as well, I don't have to worry about them keeping up... or me falling behind as I like getting a killcount. Pest control is probably the only team minigame I like... and unfortunately, my team tends to frustrate me too much. Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting! Click for more information!

henk333 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 That's a really tough question... As a runescape player I usually go solo, so if I'm looking for xp solo minigames all the way. But sometimes I'm in a mood where I just want to destroy and own other people, so a good game of castlewars makes my day then. Besides, if you are a high level and know the ways of cw you could win the game by yourself. Just go make a quick score and then get your own flag before they score, not easily done, but possible in games with 3-6 players on each team. If you would force me to pick one minigame as my favourite, it would be cw. Haven't played RuneScape since 12 january 2007 and it feels great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other minigame can you die in and actually still lose your stuff?
