It is a cool game. My wife got hooked on it a couple months ago.
I am now starting to see a trend where grandparents are getting immersed in game worlds very often. in fact they just had a national news story about a grandma addicted to video games in the U.S..
I started playing Ultima Online in 1999. great game. been trying to find that "next big hit" ever since.
haha i wasted many an hour doing some menial task on Runescape lol.
games today try to cater to the masses to much, just to make that dollar =(, the best games out there are the ones with a medium pace for gains (experience items skills etc.) with a risk of losing them due to getting killed or whatever. Ultima Online had that and it started to die when they removed that element.
the squeeky wheel gets the oil, is what happened to games =(, I like TW because there is the chance I can lose everything I worked for, and that makes it exciting, Ultima Online had that at one time but it no longer does.
even pvp in other mmo's loses its flavor after a very short while. the only way that can stay appealing is if you keep the pace so fast you dont have time to think. first person shooter games have this effect.
slow games like runescape can only trap the sheep of this world for any definite ammount of time. lucky for the makers of runescape, sheep have money to spend =P.
