Dont want to sound as a sour or grumpy person. But that 8realms is far from ready yet.
In my view they run a extended beta version with runescapers as ( hopefully gem buying ) players. The game has way to many bugs and glitches. Even the beta testers themself complain about it.
But i agree the game has serieus potential. If they wouldnt make those research things take so insane long. AND if they get rid of the bugs e.g not able to log in. Screen freezes. things not able to build because of faulty game coding ( 8realsm own words ) and certain features are interfering wich each other making the game priority system unreliable. Add the lag and you have a in potention great game. wich was sadly enough not ready to been launched in the first place.
But thats just my own humble opinion.
