Have you guys played runescape? http://runescape.com
One of the best web based games, coded in Java and run by JaGex LTD. http://jagex.com

Nope, but now I might give it a try

It commonly has up to 150, 000 people online at the same time on about 132 servers

OH MY GOD
RuneScape has crept onto the coolest board around!
That is NOT a good thing. I played RuneScape before, and absolutely hated it. It got so boring and repetitive after a while and aaghghhhh I HATE THAT STUPID GAME. It's possibly the worst MMO I've played in my life.

Never played it. Even thought I played other web based game... it was called Red Dragon. Good old times...

I think I might've played Red Dragon. I'm not entirely sure though, I've played a ton of games in the past year or so...
What did you do in that game? If I could remember what I had to do I'd probably remember if I did play it or not.

Well, if I remember good...

You had your own kingdom and the point was to make it bigger. Get more ground and such... I remember that you could select from variety of races. You could be djinn or dwarf for example. Each race had different abilities and for example, one was good in magic and other one was good in building buildings. You could make guild, and of course you were stronger in a group, than alone. But the main point of this game (and only way to complete it) was to build a special building... it was kinda exciting game, I guess it's still available around:

I stopped playing it once they removed the availability to play as free account player. You had to pay for this game, and I wasn't eager to do so, hence I resigned and I'm not playing it for good 5 years or so...

That's not runescape lol

RuneScape appears to be interesting only if you have members

But its worth a shot to anyone that hasn't tried.

That being said, it's not quite to everyone's taste.

Ebony5,

If you looked one one post above you would notice that I was giving an answer to zeep's question. But on the other hand, you are right. Red Dragon is far different from Runescape and has nothing to do with it...

Some information about Runescape, for those who do not know what it it:

RuneScape is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game by British developer Jagex Limited, programmed in Java. With nearly nine million active free players and 600,000 paying members,[1] RuneScape is one of the top online games in the world.[2] RuneScape offers both free and subscription content and is designed to be accessible from any location with an Internet connection and to run in an ordinary web browser without straining system resources.

RuneScape takes place in the imaginary realm of Gielinor, which is divided into the Kingdoms of Misthalin, Asgarnia, and Kandarin, the tropical island of Karamja, the Kharidian Desert, the Wilderness, and various other realms[3]. Movement throughout RuneScape utilizes three methods: foot travel, vehicle assisted travel, and magical teleportation. Each region offers different types of monsters, materials, and quests.

Players, shown on the screen as customisable characters, can see and interact with each other. They set their own goals and objectives, deciding which of the available activities to pursue; there is no linear path that must be followed. Players can engage in combat with other players or with monsters, complete quests, or increase their experience in any of the available skills. Players can also interact with each other through trading, chatting, or playing combative or co-operative mini-games.

Runescape is a pretty good game, I'm currently 101 combat with 1497 total level. Not the greatest.

I play Runescape and it's pretty good. Obviously not for everyone, some people think it's good and other absolutly hate it. I'm currently level 93 on Runescape.

RuneScape absolutely sucks without members. With members It's not that bad actually, sort of fun, without there's too many noobs and not enough stuff to do
It's not to my taste, possibly because I played it for like 4 years and got bored of it, or soemthing... I didn't even get very good or very far on my character in four years, which is very sad ... I didn't really know what to do in the start, lol. I believe I'm still level 90 with like 1111 total level

The only time I played this game, was in school. You know how when your in class, and there is nothing to do... so you pull up a game of solitare or a free flash game. That's what I did for Runescape... all went well, until everyone and his brother started playing it, which eventually lead to a block on the site.

Damn bandwaggon if you ask me

runescape got blocked at my school, very quick and easy solution.
