Yeah my friend and I did that once. I used a freewebs site. It was great. It was great trying to type the website pass the chat filter. Although it didn't get as big as your friend's must have, because we only got a few.
I used to like it, it was good a long time ago. But now it's so screwed up that no graphics update can save it. I checked back once and found out that gathering all the resources was so boring, and that I'd forgot how to manage money and stock exchange. lol.
Thats when i quit. see above. 2 years of my life, and it certainly hurts. I dont regret those 2 years, and im gladi used them the way i did. I wont explain why, though. I go back once a month or two. Some stuff is cool, but the wilderness and trading...ruined it. Completely. And everyone has played runescape. Its not bad to admit so either, because at one point it was an awesome game. Just not anymore.
haha man I used to be addicted to Runescape. It was fun during when I started playing; like 3 years ago but I got over it and really play it anymore
daaaaamn that was a while ago when people were crazy for that game =P i used to play the hell out of it, it was so great but now its boring haha
