Thanks to this discussion I'm now convinced I'm not goin' to try it ever.what convinced you not to try it? why not try a free 14day trial?To me its a game ill return to again and again.. not sure why, but its just very addictive for some unknown reason
Well, mostly Zydor sums up what I think about on-line games in general...
The point is they promise you an immense universe to explore, fantastic scenarios to play, immersive environments...
...but when you start playing you find tons of people who show you how they did everything before you did, better than you will ever have time to do, reveal you all the secrets of the game even if you didn't ask them, sometimes try to give you money even if you didn't ask them (spoiling the pleasure to succeed in earning your very first coins), oh, and if you (by chance and with great effort) reach a special/secret area, you'll find there hundreds of people who are talking like "LOL/ROTLF/NOOB" and so on... and I could go on forever with other examples.
On-line games don't give you *really* the chance to roleplay, to be immersed in something or to discover anything, they just suck because of all the "dumb teens" (pardon me, not that I have something against kids playing) that play like they have to destroy and own everything in the game.
Good single player, off-line, games *can* give you all this. Nontheless its a pity that the on-line gaming of the good players out there is ruined by a minority of gremlins.

Ok, sorry, maybe I was too harsh, but I just wanted to have my point go through.
BTW: I'm still playing Runescape from time to time, but I try to avoid all things I mentioned before, lol.
