Runescape

Melee or magic. Combat or non-combat. Charity-giver or scammer. These and more are ways you can play the game. What's your style?

I prefer non-combat skills like cooking and crafting. If I have to fight, I prefer melee, but I'd range if I had to.

@all POES: I don't want to hear anything like "I focus on melee but the combat is soooo predictable and boring", or any other random complaint. That's NOT what I'm asking! The topic is what do you focus on ingame (skills, combat, etc.), not "boy, all these skills sure suck". I could continue ranting, but I'll stop here.

Since I had done every skill in the game as much as I could I did do a variety of things. I had done combat and noncombat related skills. Of course while I was skilling I often caught up with friends, because you have to do something to kill time while skilling. But what I actually enjoyed most in the game was either helping friends or even random players or pking. I loved randomly walking up to some noob in  lumby killing cows and giving him a mil and have them freak out.  When I wasn't helping friends I was usually in the wildreness. My favorite thing to do was take my litlest nooblet out and unleash barrage and dboltz into a luring clan, then take thier poorly drawn pixel junk and drop in in edge for people to run around and pick up.  I also did melee on my high lvl noob but usually only in clan wars and not that bs junk they call clan wars now wildy clan wars were tons better. The only good thing about the combat system in this game is the ability to switch in combat. You can range in mage gear melee in range gear or wear bits and pieces of anything and switch styles in the same battle. I maged with a bow, or a whip. I either barraged and whipped or barraged and  ranged. Either way it was the ability to do  all or any of the skills at any time in combat that made it fun. Too bad there is no place where you can solo pk an entire clan and it be profitable anymore. I miss that.

Well Tuss, I have to say I normally focused on getting my skills up( I never really was a high level). When I was in combat I would normally use melee. I never really liked ranging, but once in a while I would work on my mage. Luckly they haven't done anything to the combat system. I am pretty sure that if more online games used this kind of combat, not one where you had to chose a race and you could only do certain skills, people would like that. There would be more surprise in everything.

 I did everything, but I was mostly melee when fighting.

Well I mostly did just about everything. I had all around well-balanced combat levels. So I typically used melee, magic, and range when I could. I also had decent non-combat stats. But I have to say that my favorite part about runescape was dueling and castle wars. I would just play those minigames with my friends and have lot's of fun.

While in combat I typically used ice bursts along with a crystal bow for long range dueling and pking. For close range I would switch between whip and dds. Occasionally I also used dragon scimitar if my opponent was using prayer.

well,my favourite non-combat skills are woodcutting,fletching,firemaking,cooking and fishing when i would fight i would use meele,but i do get mage up to teleport to places i needed to go,way better than running especially since the run energy limit,i use range sometimes just to raise my combat level since it takes long for 100k+ exp

i loved getting up my strength higher than anything. the thought of hitting high was what kept me going....

Yes this is who defends runescape.   A 13 yr old scammer is their biggest fan.  Not only did I barrage on my maxed character I barraged on my lvl 68 noob =), and I never scammed anyone in the game because that is what little kiddies do.  That is why little kids make for a poor community.
