LOL I dont see how runescape is... "vile"?? I play it every day, personally I think that it is a very good and also educational game.
Here is why for those of you who are shouting "YEAH RIGHT!" at your computer..
1. Runescape teaches you about economy, and marketing. The value of money,
for example, a very rare item such as a whip could have a price of 2million then instantly everyone gets 1 and the price goes to 1.65, merchanting, as buying something for a little amount of money and selling for higher.
2. It teaches you math surprisingly
You need to think about how much you will spend or how much you earned
or how costworthy things are
3. There is challenges in the game, such as puzzles, mazes, clues and all that.
4. It also teaches you about friendship, teamwork and who to trust.
Runescape is also very fun with things to do such as, clue scrolls, races, minigames, capture the flag (known as castle wars), there is parties at peoples houses, you can go boxing, do magic spells, catch rabbits, butterflys,
go fishing, farm, fight, and so much other stuff, read up all about it on the main page, Its awesome and in my opinion better than vmk.
