Oh man, do I remember Runescape. I had some fond memories playing the free version as a teenager. Then I remember that the reason I quit was because leveling up your skills requires more hours than a full time job. 
Runescape works better as an experiment in human psychology than a game. Unlike other MMORPGs, Runescape really has no depth at all (the free version anyway, I've never played the members game to know how much depth it adds). Since there's barely any quests, the vast majority of your time is spent doing repetitive tasks like clicking on rocks for ore or clicking on trees for wood. The first levels come quickly, but soon it takes hours and hours to get anywhere, and people continue clicking because they've been "built up" to endure it. Jagex has us as rats running a treadmill that ultimately leads nowhere. Think about it.

If you want a game that's a true social experiment for that "rat in a cage feel" try "A Tale in the Desert".
I think Tale IV is ending and the Tale V beta is in progress or just went live. There is no combat like in most mmorpgs, it is set up so that you advance by doing crafting, puzzle solving, political maneuverings, and socializing. Based on ancient Egyptian mythos and culture it requires a lot of community involvement and interaction.
