RuneScape Reviews 174

Ive played Runescape on and off since 2006 i decided to create a new account during the covid lock down and i levelled it fairly quickly to max, Sometimes this game is like pulling teeth the grind for any decent drops is pathetic you can go 500 kills without a single drop and when you do get that drop its some pretty crappy priced drop, Clue scrolls is another ive done way over 1500 clues up to now, not a single rare the best item ive received is a soul (or) worth 51m not exactly bank is it all im saying is your RNG needs to be better for the lower luck players when you look at someone in your clan who constantly gets the drops it just makes you want to quit this junk.

Good example ive gone 120 kills at AOD with 0 rare drops clan member starts AOD at 21 kills gets prausel book, 22 kills gets imperial core whats that all about

Not sure how much longer ill continue to play this game if my luck does not improve soon, just becomes a daily struggle of boredom.

Oh jagex staff are none exsistant they hide behind automated bots and love banning innocent players for no reason at all, They also made a tits up with the latest Hero Pass think when they actually seen the amount of angry players they rolled it back and disabled the use of p2w items

Opened a ticket about a bug that affected my account very negatively. I got an automated response from Mod Adrijana, who, from a quick Google search, appears to always do this. This CS representative should be reprimanded, if not outright fired for refusal to do their job. Jagex, your customer support employees are the public face of your company. You should ensure they do what they're paid to do.

Jagex locked my account when i used a new credit card for suspicious activities. I provided legitimate information to prove it was me. They denied me, after taking $80 for a year membership. I started the game in 2005. Thats how they treat their loyal, rule-following players.

The game is fun and all except they pay more attention to people buying gold than the actual bot farms themselves. Also, their customer support is by far the worst thing I have ever seen. A simple google search on how to submit a ticket is nearly impossible I had to go to their twitter account from a tweet in 2017 to get access to submit a ticket. When they answered me they must use some bot to type because they literally copied and pasted from there website which is not what I was looking for @ Mod Adrijana

Don't waste your time. False bans are rampant and unless you are a youtuber or streamer who can kick up a fuss, you won't get unbanned. There isn't even a support system in place for players to reach out to appeal their bans except an automated service that just rejects the appeal.

Perm Banned me for no reason. They told me i was botting and using a micro software or whatever, but i was using THEIR Runelite client through THEIR launcher and i was NOT BOTTING.like it or not, that is what i was using. I was present the ENTIRE duration. I was the one clicking the monsters to kill, i was the one picking up the items that i wanted, how is it illegal to attack until your hp goes low then flee to a safe area until recuperation??? I am going to share my experience on every well known website about runescape!!!

Terrible company with 0 customer support. Cant even change my own account's email cause of their stupid security. They will deny you even with all the correct information. See ya account that I worked hard on and still can login into but cant change email when jagex accounts comes. Reddit is no better and the mods on there cite stupid rules before even posting your review. If this is how things are run now, our future isnt looking good.

Terrible management. Their anti-cheating system doesn't work at all. My maxed account got banned for "botting" even though I've never botted in my life. I request a manual evaluation. My account name is "Ryoshi". You can check the username and see I've been playing the game on the same account since 2011, which is literally 12 years. Please fix this as I've spent literal years playing on this account just for it to get banned for no valid reason.

I played this game for many years and quit in 2007/2008. Now I remembered why I quit: Because Jagex bans people for no reason, they don't know the difference between bots and people. And they don't care and never will care. RuneScape used to be good until 2007/2008.

Wasted my time with a garbage cheat detection system. Was accused of botting as I was myself clicking on mining nodes watch an episode of The Last of Us. Most unworthy company of peoples precious time and no one should put a cent into this game.

Jagex cannot keep their servers online. They still act like they're only three dudes in the UK despite raking in millions from their userbase for two decades. Unacceptable, punishing, pointless, cookie clicker game.

Stay as far away from this game as you can. Jagex has left it for dead, and there is nothing good left here. There is only risk for yourself and your PC. Best case scenario, you play for a few months or even years before some hacker steals everything you have and locks out your account. Worst case scenario, they go even further, and they attempt to hack into your PC, bank account, etc. Save yourself the trauma, heartache and financial loss. Close this tab now, and don’t come back.

I played Runescape for almost 20 years, from 2003 to 2022, so it is extremely depressing that, after all of this time, this is the review I must leave of the game. This game was a huge part of my childhood, and I have so many fond memories of it, from RS1 to RS3. I was one of the first players, and now I think I have been one of the last, as well.

This game is overrun with hackers, criminals and malicious actors. After trying to update my security settings, reaching out to Jagex, and doing everything I could to add more security to my account, I was unable to even get a single response from the Jagex team, or to change any of my settings. Ultimately (and as a direct consequence of Jagex’s failure and complete abandonment of the game despite consistent warnings) my account—like so many others—was hacked, and I lost everything. I estimate the value of lost items, time, and membership fees in total excess of $100,000.00 USD.

When I raised this issue with Jagex again, instead of fixing anything, they actually locked me out of my account. So now I not only lost all of my things, but I’ve also lost the account itself—with max levels, thousands of hours of gameplay, etc. Jagex is a malicious company. You are nothing to them but a bag of money, a lifeless resource to be extracted.

Unfortunately, my situation is not unique. Jagex has abandoned Runescape, and it breaks my heart to tell you this. Virtually every player you’ll meet in-game (if there is any actual player left) has a similar story. This game is a scam and a huge security liability for yourself, your personal data, and your PC. You will receive no support from the Jagex team. You will never even get a reply, even if you somehow manage to find a stray email address to which to send your concerns (as I did—and it’s worth noting that Jagex makes itself deliberately unreachable because they know of these issues and simply don’t care to fix them. You will never get to speak with a human, from start to finish.)

If this is how they treat players like me—loyal and lifelong players who have supported the game through two decades of our lives and with thousands and thousands of our dollars—just try to imagine how they’ll treat you or any other new player.

Avoid this game at all costs. If you don’t, it literally will cost you, and you will regret it.

Super great idea but realization is a disaster. Have played this game since 2009. Even though it was always going downhill I can safely say that right now it is complete sh!t fest.
Game is almost unenjoyable. Complete disaster of coding. Controls are clunky and unresponsive, movement is click and tile based which makes it feel like cancer when you do combat stuff. In fact all aspects of this game is more or less click and go.
Game engine is a complete disaster as well written on custom 20 years old java script and still in 2022 running on 4 ticks although Jagex tried to implement action based combat that would be interesting but the results is just complete cancer what you can expect is that you will die because of some bug or unresponsive game.
Not to forget to mention bugs and glitches. This game is plagued with glitches. Even glitches are glitched. It feels like Runescape is in some sort of beta phase or even earlier development stage. But no it is fully complete disaster of a game.
Also it is super grindy. Everything is based on grinding.
In other words horrible game, horrible developer. Complete fail!
Avoid if you can. Try to find another source of dopamine. This garbage will make you ill.

Did quite abit of skilling and a few quest simple and straight forward 100% worth

A toxic game and gaming community, always uncritically defending Jagex. Jagex bans users for no apparent reason and without evidence, both in new and oldschool RuneScape. They simply treat players like criminals, stealing money and time from innocent unsuspecting players. Jagex are happy when they see unhappy people, and the dodgy Chinese investors definitely made the situation even worse.

A really nice game. I used to play it when I was little, and sometimes login these days as well. I'd only wish they'd add a little more features to the free to play version. There are many players like me that only log in occasionally, so buying a subscription does not make sense.

runescape 3 use to be a really good game and still is in alot of ways, however micro transactions are getting stupid, with the start of the new world not only must you make a new account for it you also need a membership, that doesn't sound too bad you might think, it gets worse bonds are also available for new world accounts though out the event so there is no fair game play for new worlds so unless you have deep pockets for bonds the new game mode is garbage for the average player who can only afford the membership, the game is taking a turn to being one of those typical app store games that only the wealthy can afford to play, R.I.P to caring about its players, it's all about taking your money with jagex, instead of working on increasing its player base, sad times for an awesome game...

I have been a lifelong player and subscriber to Runescape. But now I feel the game is dying. Most of the playerbase are botting. Bots in Grand Exchange spamming gold selling services. I don't feel like I'm playing an online game anymore. I'm considering stopping playing the game.
