RuneScape
is a free online Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG)
released by Jagex Games Studio. First released in 2001, RuneScape now has an
average of 10 million accounts in use per month and over 150 million registered
accounts in total, making it the world’s most popular free MMORPG.
Like
other MMORPGs, RuneScape is an immersive online world where players create
avatars, or in-game representations of themselves. These avatars can be
customized according to gender, skin color, height, size and other attributes.
Once created, the player goes on a series of quests in the game, achieving
goals they set for themselves over the course of their play.
The
action in the RuneScape community takes place in Gielinor, a medieval world
divided into different kingdoms and cities. Players are able to travel from
place to place on foot if they do desire, on ships and other means of
transportation, or through the use of magical spells they can acquire as they
become more experienced in the game.
RuneScape
guides are available and provide different types of help to players. There are
guides that teach the most basic skills and character movements to beginners so
that they can become familiar with the game. There are also guides whose
purpose is to teach players how to develop their skills and “level up”
throughout the game. It is by “leveling up” that players increase the abilities
of their avatars and progress throughout the game. This happens as players
interact with their environment and engage in combat with the other players or
the non-player characters in the game.
The
RuneScape community is made up of forums that handle a range of different
topics. On the website users have access to various RuneScape forums where they
can interact with other players, vote in polls, sell or trade items they have
collected in the game and suggest improvements for the future.
The
most popular area in the RuneScape Forums is where users interact with one
another to buy and sell items acquired in game. As each character becomes more
specialized, they can use what they acquire most easily to trade with other
in-game opponents. These items help players in their quests, whether they are
seeking to engage non-player character monsters or other in-game players.
As
with other MMORPGs, players are able to communicate with one another in a
variety of ways. As mentioned before they can talk to each other in the
RuneScape forums, but they can also talk to each other during the game as well,
choosing to either collaborate with or compete against one another in
mini-games and other activities in the game. There are occasional times when
the choice is not given and players must cooperate with one another to achieve
an objective.
