I have played rs for like 2 to 3 years now but i still dont know what the goal of the game is.
is it to get 99 stats of every thing

play till your sick of it

or what?

[Ratty]

hmm... I think the aim of the game is to enjoy yourself

Its a fun game, talk with other people, Get better at it, And if your good enough, get your stats to 99

Humans need something to justify their existance. Runescape is just that. It gives a sense of accomplishment when you get your first dragon med, or when you beat legends. It is stuff like this that gives meaning to your life. It is also a way to be successful. Let's face it, reality sucks. Runescape is a way to escape reality as well, therefor people look to it as a way to be what they could never be in real life, a hero.

It sure is.. It sure is... 99% of the earth's population wants to be someone/somewhere else. That's how RPG's was born, you know.

philosiphical eh?

You are right, RPGs let people escape reality and do things they would never be able to do, while there are still bondaries in a game, they surpass the boundaries of reality

If you die in reality..... you die
if you die in a game, you'll come back. (unless its like Diablo II where you can make a hardcore character and they NEVER come back)

it gives you something to work for, it lets you make friends, it lets you forget about everything else OUTSIDE of the screen.

He was correct MMORPG's aren't made for pure goal accomplishment.....The way I see it, I play them because they have a sense of medieval and mythological times.....I like these, I'm part of the reinasance myself. Another reason I see...Is because I get to meet great people like Mike and Star =) What's better than that?!

I think RS is a game for having fun and meeting new people from around the world.

[Lprince]

It's purely to have fun and develop in the game, and maybe help others!

Games help us reach something entirely out of our experience. Whether it's a sports game allowing us to play at a professional level, a sim game allowing us to literally be someone else, an action game in which we are in no danger, etc.

The reason I like RPGs so much is that they are immersive. More single-player RPGs than online ones, but it's still a good point. You can spend an hour slaying demons or smithing your own armour, thats never likely to happen in reality.

The advantage online games have over others is that you can interact with other players. Although this can ruin the atmosphere of the game, it's immersive in it's own way. The game has much more replay value, and you can make friends in it. Being able to improve your character also adds replay value, as the longer the play the more there is to do.
