I have played runescape for 7ish years now which is 7/17 of my life! Iv put way to many hours into runescape to quit now. I don't even plan on trying it. I know that if i do i might get addicted and take away time i could be playing runescape. I feel obligated to stick with runescape since i have put so much time into it.

Anyone else plan on not playing it?

I don't plan on playing. I only have time for one major game with all the other things in my life.

I'll play it for sure, I might not like it or I will. Depends how much I like it.

I am playing mmorpg that dragon game thing, 3 console games, rs, wow and maid marian sherwood dungeon all at once lol!

I still have space for more!

I'll defintly try it out but, I think i'll stick to RuneScape and probably go on it when i'm bored.

From all the stuff I've heard about this game, it'll be awesome. I doubt I'll quit RuneScape entirely, but I probably won't play it as much. At least not once I get my quest cape, anyway. I don't know how much I'll play before that. It depends on a few different things. I've played for almost 3 years now, but I play games to have fun. I feel very little obligation to keep my RuneScape account moving.

I've got myself under control completely so I doubt I'll actually get addicted to it.

Nonetheless, it's going to be awesome.

Ive been waiting for about 2 years for this game. Of course I'm going to play!

Im having the same problem as you, thats why ill only check it out and then quit.

But i quit rs too, this is to prevent me from being in the pc much.

I've never really gotten into futuristic sci-fi style gaming. So i really doubt I'll even give it a fair chance.

-no-
the way it looks right now,
just not my thing

I doubt I will like it, but I'll definitely try it, and if I do like it I may continue to play. I wouldn't be willing to pay for a 2nd membership though, I'd either just keep members on RS or quit members on RS for Mechscape.

I'll try it out, but it's way too early to judge if I'll play it. I don't understand why people are talking about this like you have to play one or the other. They're two completely different games; not just in name but in substance. Not trying it because of all the work you've put into Runescape, on the off chance that you might LIKE it too much, doesn't make any sense.

Dude, that's worse then me. That's severely bad X.X


+ 9*9*9^99

I'm going to give it a try for like 20 minutes and decide from there but I've gotten interested in collecting old consoles and games recently more then anything else so I'm not sure.

My problem with Mechscape is that i dont really like Sci-Fi games, i prefer the medieval set MMO's.

Thats why i doubt that i will play the game.

Aww, you know your going to at least test it out. Everybody's gonna be talking about how cool it is on here once it's released, and you're going to give in to the peer pressure. Haha.

You're right, but many of us don't have time to seriously play two games. We'll probably all try the other game when we're bored of the one we play most of the time, but we don't have time to seriously play both games.

How can anyone know if they'll like it or not if they have never tried?

I don't have time to "seriously" play any game, because it seems to "seriously" play Runescape, here, means to treat it as a job. This Stellar Dawn (or whatever the hell it will be called) sounds like something I could just play when I felt like it and actually have fun. NOT something I would have to play constantly and grind my way to having a good character.

I like REAL sci-fi games, but not FANTASY sci-fi (which I think they said this is not going to be). So help me, if there's an 'energy sword' (or 'laser sword', or any other variation thereof) in the first hour of playing it, I'm never logging in MS again.

Yeah, a person's definition of 'seriously' can vary, but mine is to devote enough time towards it to advance fairly well, not just a level every week or two. I play an hour every day or two, and I'm a bit under my definition of serious. Perhaps that was the wrong word to use, but I think you get my point. Few people have enough time to split between two games and do remotely well in either of them.


Technically, an equivalent of the lightsaber already exists, the problem is getting the energy source into the handle. Oh, yeah, and making it useful. It's kinda hard to block a bullet or laser with a thing like that when the force doesn't exist. It's simply plasma controlled by a magnetic field into the shape of a blade. It's hot enough to cut through just about anything (the coolest forms of plasma are about 3,000 degrees centigrade) and it would repel other swords of the same type because of the magnetic field.

But I get your point. I like real sci-fi better than fantasy as well. I enjoy fantasy too, and I enjoy it much more than medieval games, but real sci-fi is still better yet.

If you're playing the games like a job and not a game, then I guess it would be hard to be active in both.

Wow...someone's completely misunderstanding what I'm trying to say and not even considering that they could be misunderstanding it...

You need enough time to "devote" towards it to advance enough, and you consider it impossible to play two at the same time and do well in both. You should be able to play two games at the same time, unless it is a job for one. I'm not saying yours is a job, I'm just saying how you describe it would be a job.

You're forgetting how to contain it- how to make sure that it only extends out from the handle so far and never varies. But this isn't a discussion about science, so....



Yeah, I'd rather have a game with a basis like Stargate than a game like MechaQuest *retches*. I'd actually not mind the energy sword thing if they gave it an original name, used it logically, and didn't use it for half the weapons (like MechaQuest).

I'll definitely give it a good go, it seems like it could be more fun than Runescape in that you progress by trying out a number of things, and not by grinding away at one area of the Game. I can't really say if i'll stay or not until I've played it, can I!

Woah forgot i posted this XD. I came in here and was going to comment on it and realised i posted it X D.


Iv wasted to much time on runescape i don't need to be hooked on another game for another 8 years X D Once i max in rs i hope i can just stop playing it and not play any other games and move on. Until i max though, i feel like iv wasted the past 8 years if i don't max.
I feel mechscape will prob be a good game, i just dont want to get hooked on it.

I will definietly try it. I play games for fun. If it's fun I'll play and won't worry about losing my RS work.

You have wasted the last 8 years...
It's a game.
I stopped RS at like...lv74 because there was better stuff. I'm not gonna grind boring stuff if I don't have to.

If I have time to play, I'll definitely give it a try.

im more of a swords and dragon kind of guy and sci fi really doesnt appeal to me.

might try it out but dont really like si-fi games like using axes and sheilds

I like both types of games, but I wish that the games would stick to their genre (RS getting too past medieval age). I really hope that MS doesn't have magic or "energy swords", as I noted above.

well i have played rs for 7 years to lol (scence rs clasic and i was in 1st grade no joke) but i might it depends how futerristic it is and if it runs good on my pc.....

Well, I might try it out, however, even if I like it I won't seriously start to play it. Maybe just something to occasionally pass some time but not on an every day basis.

By the time it's released there will probably be other things for me to worry about. xD

I'll definately wanna try it out

idk, i plan on trying it. i mean, i like the sci-fy idea. Either way, it would be cool to be one of the original players of the game. I look at ppl w/ scythes and stuff and i envy them. Its a cool idea and i plan on trying it out. :-)

EDIT: when the hell is it coming out? It wuz supposed to come out last spring! :-P

I'll give mechscape a chance, but I doubt ill leave runescape for it.

I'd never try it out, until a couple years after it's been released. There's going to be a lot in the first year.

I'm not much of a sci-fi person but I'll give it a go. Although, I'm not into medieval stuff either yet I play Runescape, so who knows.

I'll play two games at one time! It'll be simple. I'll spend the weekend! Saturday = Runescape Saturday! Sunday = Mechscape Sunday! Then the weekdays will be XBOX 360 All Day and all night!
