RuneScape Description
Discover a world of fantastic adventure in the world of Gielinor, the setting for Runescape, the largest MMORPG in the world. Although the game has actually been around since 2001, the current Runescape is the third version, which is separate from Old School Runescape that is also still active running alongside it.
In Runescape, you create an avatar that serves as your character. Every new Runescape avatar runs through a tutorial meant to teach the use of skills. Skills are the heart of the gameplay in Runescape, as every action has a corresponding skill. Skills represent what usually would be attributes, knowledges, and talents in other roleplaying games.
Currently, there are 28 skills available to players (although only 17 can be used by free-to-play accounts). Everything from fishing, to chopping wood and making a fire, to wieliding weapons and even the life total are covered by the skill system in Runescape. Aside from the skills only available to paid membership accounts, they will also have access to more of the world of Gielinor, better experience gain, and exclusive benefits.
Runsecape features many NPCs to interact with, whether through trading, quests, or in combat. Not to mention the myriad of players who populate the game. How you react and traverse the realms, and ultimately earn your reputation is entirely your choice. Whether you become a hero or a simple farmer, a blacksmith, or a thief, anything goes in Runescape.
