April 2025
played since 2017, if you want to play the game watch some youtube videos first and lookup a runelite setup video. It's a good game very grindy though and needs you to invest a lot of time into it, it gets fun after you have leveled up your character but it takes a ridiculously long time. If you don't want to invest a immense amount of time but want to play a mmo rpg look into other games I reccomend star wars the old republic
