Alex C:
That's silly. I play both tabletop AND crpgs.

Orbert:
Holy shit!  I was just thinking about this game the other day.

Way back before you were born (1983), I used to play this amusing little PC game called Rogue.  Then came its descendant Hack.  Eventually Hack became NetHack which, honestly, I didn't find as much fun.  I played Rogue and Hack for hours.  Hack could be beaten, which is probably why it evolved into NetHack and became much harder, but I've only beaten Rogue once.  I've found the Amulet of Yendor maybe five or six times, but only gotten out alive with it once.

DVS:
I used to play Hack and Rogue. :D

Then I found "Dungeon Crawl" and my life hasn't been the same, I can't go to other roguelikes because I find them too easy or confusing to learn.

Melodic:
Because Runescape is a terrible excuse for an MMO built on the premise of being so clunky, unstreamlined and slow that free players will upgrade just to improve the rate at which they make money to buy fancy hats. On top of that, the playerbase is composed almost entirely of children who cannot afford a "real" MMORPG. Nethack, on the other hand, is a classic roguelike that has produced an entire subgenre of games as a result of being made.

Alex C:
Yeah, I mean, I mostly play Dungeon Crawl, but I'm not about to denigrate Nethack under any circumstances. Nethack is a 20+ year old open sourced labor of love that comes in many flavors due to an extremely active community. It's an institution whereas Runescape is a low rent mmorpger.
