That’s right. FunOrb is finally here! Jagex released it at approximately 3PM (BST) on 27th February.

Discuss.

Lots of polish. I can tell they've put a lot of work into it. Convenient that you can use your RS account.
unorclan
Well, so far I can't play any mulitplayer games because I'm not a member....but it does look good.
Daniel
I signed up for membership immediately. I've not had chance to play much, but from what I've seen so far, it's definitely going to be a success.

Bringing FunOrb World up to scratch is going to be a huge task. It came when I least expected.

Well after playing all the games and checking it out for the past few hours, I can strongly say that this site is an epic failure in terms of recieving memberships. I am guessing the majority of their revenue will come from adverts. The games are boring and there is not much replay value.

There are more minigames in runescape that are 10X more fun and exciting; those luckily are included with runescape membership.

Mechscape on the otherhand, should be quite the opposite and I am looking forward to its arrival. mage.gif

When is mechscape going to be released?
Shuttleduck
Yeah, I just noticed this because when you log onto the forums or any othe part of RuneScape they updates the login screen. They now say only put your password on Runescape OR Funorb. :) Cheers!
ColdFire
About time! I had been waiting for a while. Its convienient u can use ur rs name too!

But the question remains...

what about mechscape?
T2theowlie
Sweet gonna go play now, time to sign up on funorb world.
Darth Irule
some games are fun and challenging!

I really dont like how it is now, maybe it will improve it just started.
I will give Jagex another month and ill try it out again.
unorclan
So far after couple hours playing I'm giving FunOrb the rating of 4/10.
The Highscores are pathetic (only works with friends you have on Runescape) and the games get boring because there is no real goal involved.
I believe FunOrb will be a success once they completely get off the ground and get the customers feedback - but as a first start I give it an "Okay".
Edd
Had alot of fun playing it, and beating pink at it :)

Quote of me from a different board,

Laughable.-ish As said in above post, not impressed :X

But whatever floats your boat? :$


Wasn't all that impressed, most of the games can be found online for free, even the ones you have to pay to play.

However I do find what this one person said slightly funny.

I only get on there to play chess and pm my friends and watch them say "wth is chess 5???"

laugh.gif
Lolly
some games are stupid...
i mean they just stole ideas from the real world...
like connect 4...
all they did was change the name
Ed5
Yea Jagex does that to games, they take games out there and add some twisted to it
like the new game on RuneScape VineSweeper, all it is Minesweeper, on a bigger scale
and some different rules to it. But most of the minigames on RuneScape rocks, but I dont
like funOrb are all.

I was creating a new account on Runescape and seen this:

You are entitled to play between these two games: Runescape and Funorb.

So I went to the Funorb website and seen that it was online. =]
Arain321
Ive played it, didnt think it was that bad in my opinion. 7/10 i'd give it right now.

What are you talking about? i think its quite useless as only the hype of it is attracting some members. the next month or so it wont have much members.
i'd give it a 3/10 blush.gif

if anyone liked the original flea circus, i found the old link and it still works!

Hmm... Well my opinion still remains the same. Just another mini-games website offering nothing particularly new with graphics that are mediocre at best.

For me, this just means that we're one step closer to Mechscape, hopefully that will live up to expectations.
Skandranan
Well, I found that it was okay for a break every now and then when I get bored, but it isn't something that will be taking up too much of my time. I absolutely love the loading screen though. cool.gif
Shuttleduck
Can anyone who is already a suscribing member with efficient experience on FunOrb tell me their views? I would like to see how the membership benefits affect the whole exerience as I am thinking of subscribing.

I didn't really know what is FunOrb giong to be, but so far it's good... Except the fact that if you want to play against other players you have to be a member down.gif . But the good thing is that you can choose the RuneScape and FunOrb payment option biggrin.gif ! But I won't be member on it, not much to get with it... What do you thing guys, is MechScape going to come out this year?
Shuttleduck
Monkey Moejo please DO NOT triple post. And please do not spam the forums with useless images and offensive material.

FunOrb is alright. Not the greatest games site in the world, but it is enough to satisfy my needs. I just love competing with my RuneScape friends. :P
frostguy
funorb is a great site. But what has caught my eye was how did zezima get a high score in everygame
on the day of the release?
walterpayton
i looked on it and i didnt even understand what it was...it was too complicated i seen a lot of squares with gamelike things in them but didnt understand the point of the games. i like addicting games.com more.
Arain
funorb is an OK site. the only game i like is chess... the other games are too childish for my liking

and did anyone hear that a J-mod refused to say that mechscape doesnt't exist in a chess lobby? hmm.. interesting

I didn't but it seems consistent with Jagex's policy of deliberate ambiguity. For example Mod Craddock said "I’m afraid that I cannot discuss MechScape. I can’t even confirm if it is a new game" on the official RuneScape forums.
