Brighter Shores

Doesn't deserve the negativity.

Thought this would be a new experience like a similar version of Runescape but instead of a fun social grind, all I've done is grind the last two hours of my life into dust. absolute waste of time, so slow and boring that it somehow makes my boredom worse than it was before playing a computer game.

Great Game but look at that kitty, whoever pass by can pet it and give it a thumbs up. Have a nice day :3 　　　 　　／＞　　フ 　　　 　　| 　_　 _ l 　 　　 　／` ミ＿xノ 　　 　 /　　　 　 | 　　　 /　 ヽ　　 ﾉ 　 　 │　　|　|　| 　／￣|　　 |　|　| 　| (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__)

Complete dumpster fire...... For anyone who don't know, or may have had limited knowledge, Andrew Gower was once a legend in the MMO scene. He created one of the most beloved MMOs out there today "Runescape". He was a legend to many people, but alas that time has come and gone, and I don't ever see it returning. He bragged about how independent he was, and how he wanted to do everything himself, but put a pay wall behind the only content the game really has to offer, which isn't much to begin with. This one move not only damaged his reputation with many RS players that were trying the game, but also made him seem greedy. The guy is worth over 600 million, claimed he didn't need help or investors, but sucks the people trying his game dry that want to move futher then the first two zones. The game is clunky as hell. character movement is ancient and outdated. The characters movements is really bad. Slowly moving from tile to tile. "Def not like Runescape" You need a degree in economics and science to understand the skilling in mid to late game. Yeah it's that confusing and bad. The combat is some of the worst I have seen to date in any MMO. Again, outdated and ancient. "Def not Runescape" There is no chat, at all..... There is no trading, well unless you want to pay him, you know the totally independent developer who needs no ones help. The weapons system is freaking weird. Just because a weapon or armor piece drops that looks better, don't mean it is, good luck figuring that one out, I sure as hell wasn't sinking anymore time into it. There are a lot more issues, but those are some of the worst. The guy is sinking this ship real fast and his ego and pride won't allow him to just listen to the freaking players. He still somehow thinks he has this legend status when in reality people view him as a washed up legend. Good luck Andrew, maybe pull the silver spoon from your rear and take advice, otherwise you will only have yourself to blame when you are left with a expensive dusty MMO no one gives a crap about or plays.

Brighter Shores: If Runescape were bad

For me, MMOs are about exploring a new 'world', as cheesy at that sounds. However, nothing about Brighter Shores feels like a "world" to explore. The incredibly small little chunks the map is split into, each skill having its own dedicated spot you sit in from 1 to max level and nowhere else, it feels like a treadmill with a chatroom. You really are just better off playing Runescape. Play either of them, 3 or OSRS, you'll get an actual world and the chatroom (and the treadmill too, for good measure).

Thank god Andrew Gower sold Runescape off. Brighter Shores is a pile of crap.

Can I ask for a refund for a free game? Because I feel that this game has violated my time
