Runescape died with the 3D engine. Well it wasn't with the 3D engine, it was just everything which came around that time period. Rune armor/weapons actually used to cost hundreds of thousands of gold, money was difficult to get (old mining system anyone?), and the community wasn't horrible.
Now if you play it, level doesn't matter, its whether your running around in clothing which cost you tens or hundreds of millions of gold. Questing has no point and if your a non-member you'll spend 95% of your time grinding for money, which is far too easy to get so prices just keep ramping up. Besides this, the community is one of the worst I've ever played.
I played Runescape as a child, and almost everybody I talked to was around my age, rarely passing 14. Also, if someone has the funds to pay $5 a month for a membership, which really isn't worth it imo, why couldn't they pay an extra $5 for a newer, more popular, and probably better MMO?
