Dice says: I personally played this game, very addicting and nice game. After a while it does get boring, but so does every game. :). I'd give this game 4 stars.

I agree! The game is terrible, the gameplay is clunky and the game is very boring.

I got someone trying to convince me to play this game more often. I sometimes give him the benefit of the doubt, but everytime I play, I get bored in like 2 mins, and leave.

Classic is a million times better than RS2. Jagex's biggest mistake was RS2.

the game is good...the game is good when you play it and love it for the while..after that...WOW does it stink..lol but you can't blame them for that...most MMORPG's on the net are like that. Well every game in theory is like that.
