Runescape Game Review

You can't get on a computer and just dig around and find something new. No, once you google something you are forever linked to everything you have ever looked for. I'm really surprised my first search result isn't for an asian porn game, and honestly that would be a cool concept but I digress. When you get online no matter where you go the advertisers are there and no matter how small of a foot print you have tried to leave you just can't avoid google's reach. I look for a game online, that is browser based and even though there are millions I am attracted to this one. Runescape has been around for a very long time and I am attracted to it not because of the great graphics, not because of its simplicity or complexity but simply because they have been advertised by the right ads and they have the benefit of word of mouth spreading around the gaming community. Like every community, the gaming community isn't as big as you think. Honestly it's pretty small when counted against other community's such as  porn, religion, politics and about a million others. The gaming family starts loosing members when they get older, unlike neighborhoods, gun enthusists, and collectors. The few that stick around fit a specific profile, Gamers. We, young and old, have a huge data base of information dedicated to strategies, builds and scripts. We all like complex, detailed, and advanced technology games and toys and at the same time we can entertain ourselves with just about any type of game as long as we feel the game is somewhat of a challenge. 
    I was directed to Runescape by the foretold reason and this will honestly be the first time I have played this game and I am impressed. The first MMORPG game I ever played was a game I played for over 10 years and I have a friend that has been keeping my character until I am financially stable enough to take him off his hands. Even though I am an adult and have children that play these games, I plan on being 90 sitting at a computer and playing the newest game while picking on some 12 y/o kid online listening to him talk crap and curse every three words because he knows I'm an adult and his parents aren't home and he can get away with it. Being an adult gamer is very odd and sometimes a bit lonely when half the people you meet in game are friends with your kids friends and their parents are to busy to be playing games. Runescape is one of those games that mothers who played the game as a kid can still pop in for an hour or two a week to do a mission or two, maybe chat with another player about game mechanics, other characters, or about your crappy day. This game can go with you on your ride to adulthood. There are a lot of games that have all kinds of feels to them, and i'm not bashing any of them, to each their own, but Runescape is a tough game to beat when it comes to simplicity and fun. There is always something to do in this game. The visionaries for this game really looked to give this game staying power. 
    I just recently started playing the game but I will keep blogging about it as I go and giving a detail or two about it. I will add a few screen shots, videos, and comments every now and then to give anyone who is thinking about getting into a new game something to think about. My first character in this game is a female and it is the first time I have EVER played any game as a woman character. I have heard guys say they start female characters because if they have to stare at an avatar for hours a day they would rather look at a female avatar than a male one. I never put any thought into it but when I created this character I figured I couldn't knock it until I try it. I named her Nasaium, no relevance really I just like to give my characters names that not everyone has so I create names. I choose summoner as a profession but I like stealing in game so I really don't know which direction I'm going to start. In Runescape you can and should train in many different labors the only down side is carrying around all the junk you need for each skill. I was attracted to summoning only because in the game you can summon critters but what they can do is still unknown to me because i'm only on day two of my 14 day trail. We will see how far you can get before you need to become a member to reap any real benefits.
    Just like any other game on the market, there are tons of people playing, blogging, and hating this game and I am among many following this game but honestly they are all the same. Here is one blog I like that has several good tips and articles about gameplay.  There are several more pages on google on the topic and I sugguest you check them all out. My goal is not to hurt the game but to inform anyone wanting to know what this game is like as a novice or as someone who is a gamer but never played before.  I am a gamer and I want to be a part of the industry until I take my last breath whether it be blogging, creating, or hosting games, I have games in my blood. Keep up with my blog and follow me as I dig through the agrivating parts of starting a new game. For more online games, fun games, flash games, and free online games visit this site.
