Runescape ' s pretty fastpaced compared to the old days , so you can get to content much more easily having less time to play is less of a problem , y ' know ? Bosses from the old days are a lot easier to get the stats for , and quests too . But you also never run out of things , because while older things are faster to get to there ' s stuff beyond the old stuff in terms of requirements now , so if you do need a long term goal , that ' s still going to be there . I think most of the problems you ' ll see people talking about are very . . . Entrenched players ? Y ' know what I mean ? Like , I play this game a lot , I think about this game a lot , and I just generally am interested in the overall health and stuff of the game because , well , it ' s kinda fun and interesting for me to do that sort of thing . If you just don ' t care about that kind of thing , about the whole microtransactions are cancer sort of thing , well , it ' s not really ever going to bug you by all odds . One major thing that makes me question it is how costly the game is , for someone only playing very little that monthly subscription fee might just be better spent on games you don ' t have to feel pressured to play now , y ' know ? That said , I think if you just pick up a month of membership and give it a shot you might find , hey , it ' s worth it . It ' s a pretty personal decision all in all .
