Quick story, I've played RS for 8ish years on and off, but never really spent to much time in it.
With the recent events, it has really just seem to lose its fun. First, they switched to the trade limit, which created opportunity for players to earn billions of billions of dollars, then they switched back and now everything is high priced, and gold is incredibly low priced. I've learned that playing a game non-legit takes the fun out of it over time; therefore, I don't really want to buy anymore gold or bot. But at the same time, I've been wealthy enough where earning 1m/hr (or 50c an hour if you really look at it) just isn't enjoyable.
So... I'm basically looking for other games? I feel like there should be some fairly new games that are out and or upcoming ones that will be similar (and better) than RS.
First, let me tell you some things I like about RS.
-The Simplicity of the items: Basically, everyone knows what everything is after a few weeks of playing TOPS. This is really cool because it is fun to strive towards stuff.
-The simplicity of combat: Well, because of the simplicity of the weapons/magic/prayer/combat skills, it is easy to know what strategies to use. I've watched things like WOW PVP and it just doesn't look as fun or interesting, and almost too easy?
-The ability to "outsmart" the game.
One of the things I've noticed about Runescape, which is unlike other games (like Rift/WOW/Skyrim) is that you can either be good at the game by just grinding, or making money and buying the best training gear; by playing smart.
I don't think I articulated that well, but hopefully you guys get the idea. Basically like, if I'm playing skyrim (I know it's not a MMO) it doesn't really require too much intellect... There are no "creative" ways to play. You pick up a sword, go fight monsters and buy better swords. In runescape, the routes to getting the better swords are innumerable, and it really adds to the feel of the game IMO.
-The economy: Basically, my favorite part about the game. What seems different about Runescape is the rarity of the best items, which, coupled with the simplicity of the items, makes it very fun to play. TBH, I haven't played Rift or WOW, but when I see my friends play it, it seems much more combat driven. I love how in RS you can be economy/combat/skills driven.
Alright, well thanks a million if you read ALL that! And thanks a million more if you have any suggestions!
