I'm talking about old style runescape. ill admit when i was like 11-13 i use to be hooked on the game. I loved the wilderness, it was kick ass pvp!!!!.
the game had a lot of people making proffit from there proffesions, well that was the only way to make money really, also people were merchanting stuff [e.g buy cheap sell high]
There was like 20 or so proffesions you could level. [althow most not usefull for making $$$$$$$] it was still kickass.
I think future mmo companies should take a look at runescape. get some idea's from it.
add some sweet graphics, spend a lot of time on the game, make sure it has smooth combat etc
Just my opinion guys
