I used to think that too and I was an adamant defender of its name, but like I said I’m trying to forget those days. It used to be a little better, but they just keep making it worse, like no killing in the Wild unless you’re in the arena thingy. It’s just pointless now (not that there was ever much of a point)
The only MMO I've ever devoted a significant amount of time to was Vendetta Online. Why run around hitting rats with sticks when you can fly around blowing up spaceships with lasers?
Jeez, why does everyone slam on Runescape? It's a good game.
Allow me to answer your answer your question, despite the fact that you left the internet.
The pros.
-Its free
The cons.
-Free version is pretty much a demo for the member version (this may have changed, but I remember they only used to do members updates).
-Horrible graphics.
-Controls consist solely of clicking.
-I don't know anyone who could ever get the music to play.
-The ammount of experience required to level skills grows a lot faster than the ammount of experience you gain, leading to excruciationgly long leveling times later on.
-Way too many 11 year olds who are probably border line retarded or slightly inbred, and type things like "OMG Y U NO LIK RS ITS AWSUM!!!!!!"
-The combat system requires you to click on your opponent, then sit and watch them hit each other, with the only movement required on your part being to click on food for health. Mages are the exception, since you have to click their spells.
-The whole rune system made it way too expensive to keep your magic level near any of your other levels in most cases.
-You lose everything except your three most valuable items when you die, and gold does not count.
-The lack of an assigned class systems allows for some people to dominate pvp. Magic not working? Switch over to ranged attacks. And if that doesn't work, just put on your armor and start doing melee attacks.
-The profanity filter is too strict, making it so that parts of your words are ****'d out, because it had what could be an alternate spelling of fuck in the middle. I once was unable to find my friend for thirty minutes, simply because it wouldn't let him tell me he was near "a hole".
-I don't know if anyone else who played for an extended period of time found this, but I encountered a lot of racist people on there.
I took my first girlfriend to House of the Dead for our first date. Before that I didn't know who Uwe Boll was. We were expecting a good-bad horror movie. We weren't expecting a bad-bad movie.
After the movie I spent a good portion of the evening repeatedly apologizing.

I played that game all of five minutes and then uninstalled it, like six years ago,
Not only did it seem shitty, it seemed shitty even by shitty MMO standards.

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Isn't that how all your dates end anyway?
For various reasons, yes.
