Runescape -- 4.5

I lied. I wrote that Travian was the first game I played regularly. It was actually Runescape (I have such a great memory (: )  I give runescape a 4.5 out of 5.

Positives
-It's opened ended
- there's always something to do
- A large friendly community
-It's not time consuming
-Engaging
-Excellent graphics
-Innovative

I really liked Runscape. Runescape is good for younger kids and tweens although some parents may be worried about it being violent it's really not. Runescape won't take up alot of your free time unless you want it to and it's not the kind of game where you have to monitor it constantly. It got a great engaging storyline with Quests and really what ever you want to do. The graphics are quite excellent, at for those of you with fast computers!

Negatives
-Alot of Member's only privileged
-Can get tedious
- Doesn't run well on older computers

When playing Runescape there's alot of clicking and waiting without much action. Members also can do so much and non can do so little. I understand that they want to make money but really the free game is pitiful. The game also used to crash my 2006 model laptop (that I used until 2010...) it was really frustrationg because I'd have to turn the graphics down as low as they go. That was my biggest disappointment. But I know a big company like Runescape can't wait up for us loser still living in the past. ;)

Altogether  Runescape is really good and everything I complain about really cannot be helped!

I hope you enjoyed my post!

Ponderings 1.0

I wonder out of all the blogs in the world that actually get posted on, how many get more that about 10 views per day. I get the feeling that there are people, like I am currently that just blog their little hearts out (or maybe not like me) that get little or no traffic. That's really quite sad. But you know, people won't visit a site that's boring. Maybe my site is boring!! OH NOES!

If anyone is out there please leave a comment!

PEACE!

Edit: Like the noob I am I forgot to title it lol

Travian- The awesome game that was ruined.

So, one of the first games that I started to play regularly was Travian.I loved it was awesome and really cool and I was somewhat (Ok, extremely) addicted.

 I would give the old Travian a 4.7 out of 5 and the new travian 3.5 out  of 5

 Now, before I get ahead of myself here, I'm first going to describe that game. Travian was a game where you started with a village with just 2 population, you were surrounded by other villages ran by real people who may have had more or less pop. than you. You would than have to build up your village, building troops and economical buildings. Eventually you could found new villages and grow a massive empire. You could join alliances, and build massive world wonders. It was great.

 Then, Travian made some updates. It was really  frustrating because they limited your number of troops. The game started to decline. So Travian removed the update. I and many other were happy with the the way it was. Now, they've added so much extra it's hard to recognize it.

 Now, your hero, which before was just a special troop. is an actually person. You can give your hero a face. And you can send it on "adventures" to get special items that your hero can use or that you can sell to other players to get "silver" Which can be used to buy more items for you hero.

Alot has changed and I feel like they are straying farther and farther from what was once a really great game. It still is great, maybe if I had never known what it had been like I would like it. But regardless it's still a great game.

This started out as a simple review but as you can see it turned into something of a rant. :D

Well I hope you enjoyed my loooooong post. ALSO, remember comment equal LOVE!! :D

See ya either later today or tomorrow or whenever I feel like posting,

My first post :P

Ok, so this is my first post, I just set this up a minute ago. What will be featured on this site are my reviews of the good the bad and the downright weird of various online games (mostly free ones). Also there will be a random assortment of rants, thoughts and other things that will make you laugh at the insane thoughts in my brain.

Now I'm going to go set up the basics, in a few minutes there should be a post above!"

P.S. I know that as of right now there is actually no one here, but I like talking to myself so deal with it!
