I used to be totally addicted to this game, members and all. I definitely CAN see why they have so many paid memberships. RuneScape is a solid game, except for the graphics. Everyone asks for an un-grindy game with tons of skills, a huge world, and great pvp, and all that is in RuneScape. Sadly, I had started MapleStory while in membership, and I got hooked on that; I don't really see how, seeing as MapleStory is the most grindy game out there, but yeah, I quit my subscription. RuneScape is a pretty good game. One of the main reasons it is so popular, however, is because it doesn't require very steep computer specs, it needs no download, and the membership is cheap at $5 a month.

That's just my 2 cents.
