RuneScape - Time Waster
RuneScape bills itself as a massive online adventure game. In theory, it could be a lot like World of Warcraft; except, it's not. For one thing it runs in a tiny window in your browser and you don't have to load any software to play (you do need to have Java installed though). In that sense, it's much more portable than something like WoW.
And if you're used to a really pretty game, you won't find it here. The graphics are ok at best. And the story progresses with a lot of read this paragraph and click here to continue type stuff.
But, if you are looking for a time waster that's a throwback to what games used to be, RuneScape is where you will find it. It moves so slowly you can definitely keep it running while you are doing other things. I played for about an hour while going about my business and found it relatively enjoyable.

I wasted lots of time on Runescape in my lifetime, must have spent at least 200 bucks on it as well...

your all, and dlsquad poster of this, IDIOTS WITH NO TASTE OR STYLE. PLEASE GET OFF THE INTERNETS IMMEDIATLY. okay enough flaming, seriously, runescape is crap, it's really sad because the morons who play this shit game think it's all the world has to offer of free mmo's, there are a million far better, and worlds better looking, ones out there, and, most importantly, they run better because they aren't JAVA GAMES.
Okay have fun morons, this game truly is a time waster in the absolute sence of the word. You will become a less intelligent person by ever trying it.

Oh dear, looks as if Kassandra here is a living result of a RuneScape player. I'd better stay away from both her and the game then...

If you don't like it, that doesn't mean that the whole world shouldn't. I have tried to play it 2-3 times, but never stayed longer than 20 minutes. It's just not for me. But I don't go around and insult other people who like it, saying they are idiots and morons.
But there is no point explaining that everybody likes different things to shallow people like you...

LOL. Note intellectual superiority demonstrated by the numerous spelling errors...impressive, indeed.

Hi Kassandra - Sorry you hate RuneScape so much. If you know of some better games out there, I'd love to write them up. Just let me know what they are and you'll see them soon!

I can tell you have tried it then, just by reading your gammar or rather lack of grammar.
the 'InternetS'? seriously you have issues far beyond those of the people that play this game

oh, wow. bleeding-edge news today, huh? maybe next an article on rumors about the upcoming gameboy advanced?

There is a version with better graphics. Just select the High Detail option. If you pay for the game, you can even use it in full screen, which is kinda cool.
All by all, the game isn't that bad. Atleast it's not one of those 5 million or something WoW clones.

I play Runescape and love it. I find it a very educational game and its not one of those educational games that almost bores you to death. It has got more. It is a complicated game but that's nice. Its a very challenging game too. they are also very strict when it comes to swearing or breaking the rules.
Runescape has actually taught me allot of things even life lessons like looking after pets and the stock market.
Runescape also has full screen and much better graphics now. And it does have a free version unlike WOW who charged an absolute fortune.
