Potentially Starting Runescape Again

United States
July 15, 2009 2:26pm CST
Hey guys! I used to play Runescape a lot about 5-6 years ago, but then I quit when I found other and better MMOs to play. Now I have about 2 months left of summer vacation before I go back to school, and I have absolutely nothing to do. Runescape crossed my mind, but I don't want to go through the trouble of having to start all over. I do enjoy leveling the skills, and if I do start over, I'd probably want to make a mage of some sort (because mages rock, rawr). And I would not be able to become a member, so that's already off the table. I'd appreciate it if you guys could persuade/dissuade me to play Runescape again. Please back up your argument with support (in other words, don't just say "Play it because it's fun!). Thanks so much!

Why start over? You should still have your old character available with all his skills. As for why to come back, It's a great game. It's only really lacking in the graphics. It actually has far more skill development than other games too.

I do have my old character and I remember all of his account information, but I just don't feel like picking up where I left off. Playing as him became too boring, and that led me to search for another MMO. And I do enjoy the skill development that's offered in Runescape, but that's one of the only things I really like about it. The combat system is either too simple or two complex, never in the middle. Any further ideas or suggestions?

I started back because i was bored. I mostly just pk lol nothing much to do then killing other players lol. Its pretty fun but when u die its kinda bad. Idc..its jus a game I die plenty but at least i pk back the items. Make a pure and thats gonna be a lot funner. When i skill it sometimes feels boring like you can do something else while you skill. I cut a tree and get bored and start watching Tv...well you know? Fighting other players brings tension...and it feels pretty good sometimes lol........

Hrm... I was never really one to PK. I think I'll stay away from Runescape for a while. Thanks for all of the advice though, everyone!

I used to play runescape also I was a level 82 with abby whip... Well if you want a fresh start since the game has changed alot since 6 years ago why not transfer some items from your old account to start with good money to show off that you are not a noob lol

Hrm, this might actually be a fairly good idea. After all, I did have some pretty cool stuff on my old account, including a Rune longsword a friend gave me. Thanks for the advice Houndoom. ^^

if you were members it would be so much fun with pest control, castle wars, and mobilising armies... but since your not, train to be a pure and fight in pvp and own others or in the duel arena
