Runescape the MMORPG

Runescape is a MMORPG game on the Internet using java code. No program to download or install. Should work in any browser including firefox and opera. My first RPG game that I played with others was tele-arena on a local Bulletin Board Service in the 80’s and 90’s but was only text based. Runescape reminds me of that game but bigger, better and with graphics. I found the game when it first started but the graphics didn’t look as good as I wanted. 2 years ago my nephew was talking about this new game he was playing and showed me the improved version of runescape. Much better graphics and animation but nothing compared to WOW or Second Life. For me that is good because I can do other things while I play. The graphics could be compared to a game called Diablo.

The game is free to play for everyone and does have a member section which costs $5/month. I’ve played the game for more than a year as a free member and had a lot of fun. There are three main ways of killing other players and monsters. Using a sword (melee), bow and arrow (archer) or magic (mage). There are quests to accomplish and skills to train. It’s not all about killing monsters because you can train in cooking, fishing, crafting and mining. Every skill can be trained to get better stuff which can be sold to other players who need it to go on quests, kill monsters or other players. This is the big part of why I stayed playing in this game. If I get bored doing one thing there are more things to do.

Warning before you enter the Wilderness!
Warning before you enter the Wilderness!

There is one section called the wilderness where players can kill each other. When a player dies they will lose everything they have on or carrying except the 3 most valuable items. Lot of players get gold pieces, armour and weapons from killing other players. Some will train only one of their skills like magic so they can be strong in magic at a lower level. These people are called pures. There are different levels with rules in the wilderness. Level 1 wilderness would allow players to attack other players 1 combat level above or below themselves. Level 13 wilderness would allow players to attack other players 13 levels above or below themselves and so on. This is the reason why people who pk choose to be pure so they can look weak but have hidden strong combat, archer or magic levels.

When someone kills another player they get a skull over their head to warn others as seen in the picture below. If a person with a skull gets killed they will lose everything they are carrying and wearing! One of those risks you have when pking. The good thing is that none of the quests require you to go into the wilderness. I love going on the quests and training my skills mainly.

As a free member you get access to a smaller world and able to do more than half of the skills available. Some of the good skills are for members only like Agility which allows you to run faster and longer, Fletching to make bows and arrows and construction to make your own house. I spent over a year as a free member and got my character to a level 60. I am now a member for 2 months which I will talk about in another post. Free players can go on over 15 quests which can be easy or very hard.

Some fun things to do in Runescape

There are over 100 worlds to log into and the max amount of players for each world is 2000. Paying members have different worlds to log into which are less busy. When I was playing on a free world it got very frustrating mining the same rocks as other players, trying to find a good place to kill monsters or being followed and asked simple questions found on the website. I am proud getting to level 60 without having to be a member. Took a long time and frustration but it can be done. A free player gets very little space in their banks compared to a paying player. Free worlds do not have mini-games where group of people can play a small game inside the bigger game. Some of these mini games are not dangerous to your character. So if you die in a mini-game you won’t lose anything.

If you’re looking for a game to play with other people and won’t take over your computer then this is a good game to at least try! If you like it and want to be a member it only costs $5 a month and if you cancel you can still play the game but without the membership benefits of course. This is a big benefit to me compared to some other Pay to Play games. I could cancel my membership and still have fun training and chatting with others in the free world. You can also place a person on the friends list which will allow you to message them in any world! You can also see what world your friend is playing in so you can join them.

    I am trying to get my magic lvl up by doing quests any suggestion(non-members quests only not witch’s potion).

  2. 2 JohnnyRS:

    The only other non-members quest which gives magic experience is the imp catcher. You’ll get a bit more than witch’s potion. Two fast ways to level up magic is to teleport over and over again to falador or go to the top of the wizard’s tower and attack the lesser demon behind the cage. Also using confuse, weaken, curse and bind on enemies will get you some good experience if they don’t hit you too hard. You could use those magic spells on cows or chickens. Low level alchemy is another good way but you’ll need to get some natures runes which is not easy in the free worlds.

  3. 3 Jowl:

    Hello Andrew, to get a lot of nature runes to cast bind and stun, as JohnnyRS was saying, I would suggest going to the wizards circle that has black wizards. The black wizards circle can be found near the south entrance to Varrock. These black wizards frequently drop nature runes, and several other runes needed for magic.

    runescape.com is the best game i ever played but i quit because my level 124 got hacked HE HAD 12 OF EVERY PARTY HAT like omfg if i get it back i will do non-stop freakin screaming for 9hrs.his name is zweik too bad too sad:{

  6. 6 avesatanas69:

    Runescape was the best and most realistic MMO i ever played
    I loved it till i got banned for language problems (lol).
    I got up to combat 86 and loved my skills like hell. Runescape near became my life.
    Now i have quit. I wasted all that time but at least i’d enjoyed the experience…..
    I cant go back because I will be a lvl 3 and even with my knowledge, the “bigger” players
    will likely start up the problems again….

    If you get a nice levelled acct but got banned…
    Dont go back. Even if ur like me and couldnt find another game that can match with Runescape.

  7. 7 dagger sord5:

    i was level 84…then got banned!! they said i bought money but i didnt :( .
    i tried telling the truth to jagex, but they said they had proff of it, but i really didn’t.
    so right now im just hacking people :P .
    untill im un banned for one more chance, im hacking.
    i hacked 7 people !! lol. well… im still doing research on a website on geting people
    unbanned, but there all fakes.( i know and did research on them, and found fakes)
    if jagex is reading this please! get me unbanned this isn’t right..geting banned for no reason!! bah!! im sad to say but……..runescape and jagex sucks! all this crap is annoying so as again, i hope jagex is reading this.. *sighs*.

  8. 8 avesatanas69:

    dagger sord5, jagex the company does suck.
    it seems as though their trying to profit off nearly-high level people who got good too quickly.
    does it occur to anybody that jagex people can be players themselves, very possibly? now what do they have to gain by banning people like us? first thing our gp and hard earned armors. then they get to reduce the amount of crowding on their worlds. also they dont refund us our membership fees either so its become like free money for them. game graphics are pretty good for a online-based java-powered MMO. jagex is probably just looking for excuses to *seize* people’s gp. they can like send fake nice people to give u free stuff, then go *OH THIS IS AN UNBALANCED TRADE!*, and declare u as a real world trader.

  9. 9 dogger:

    game graphics are pretty good for a online-based java-powered MMO. jagex is probably just looking for excuses to *seize*.And i have played this game about two years.My character’s lvl about 90.Though it is a older game,but i must accept that it is a very interesting game

  10. 10 johnny:

    jagex if u are readin this please listen.

    jagex please take off java on the game

    cause i cant downlad java and so please take java off i beg u.
    from johnny

  11. 11 magik man:

    Runescape and Jagex are totally awesome the only reason you guys don’t like it is because you broke the rules too many times and got banned…..Well thats your fault you break the rules and get banned and blame it on somebody or something else.It is not Jagex’s fault you got banned its your fault for breaking the rules.

  12. 12 eliwood407:

    I LOVE RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But a few words for those who got banned: I feel really sorry for u guys, I know how you feel. BUT: Remember, It is your fault you got banned so don’t complain. Just create a new acc and you will level rapidly.

  28. 28 Ozelal:

    Actually it isnt that bad, plus I can’t hack into runescape due to the amount of binary, which would take me years to translate, not to mention the java script is impossible to organize!!!

  29. 29 Dragon lord9:

    howdy im a high lvl. i enjoy runescape but was recently hacked…..lost alot but oh well just a game. I discovered i was hacked by a key logger..( a virus downloads onto your computer and logs all the keys you press and to what program you press it on. This information is sent back towards the creator of this virus.) For all RS players im advising you to change your password every other week to avoid hacking. Bank pin doesnt matter; if a hacker knows your password he can perminantly control your account. Also once the hacker has your password, he/she can delete your recovery questions.To all those who got banned for swearing and breaking the rules…..unlucky and play by the rules and you wont be banned.

  30. 30 Eliwood407:

    well.. u can stop a hacker if he got your password…
    just enter membership number.. creditcard submision… and u got it back.

  31. 31 Eliwood407:

    only think on rs is…
    i cant go on now..
    every world is empty
    probably the engine..
    aww well..
    im combat 100..
    im rich..
    im proud..
    and the ones who hate runescape..
    next time dont get banned ;)

  32. 32 justinblack3:

    Been playing runescape for years, got to level 124. My advice is to stick with one account, dont create more, you will just waste your time. Also, do godwars, I have earned 70m there. They ruined it with the recent update though =(. Goodluck everyone!

  33. 33 Kid who cares:

    the one bad thing with runescape is jagex…the creator. I think u guys
    that keep upgrading runescape need to chill out and let us play….stop giving us these dumb upgrades like no drops and no descent amount of free money….. just stop and chill out please..i want to have some limits somewhere on runescape
    anyone wanna talk add : onlyif1421

  34. 34 Wizzard1.2:

    Runescape is pretty cool (im lvl 59 w/ gmaul and full intilate). But graphic-wize, Runescape stinks…if Runescape had graphics like WOW, then more than 2M people will play. Just saying Runescape is cool, but has bad graphics (except for the fact that it is run on Java)

  35. 35 Armydep:

    Eyh, I’m till playing runescape…(combat 91 *prowd*) But it realy sucks now! you cant scam of marcant. Becoz there’s a *trade limit* you only can gain 3k each 15 mins! and the wildy is gone to! now they got bounty hunter so i thiink i go stop with runescape. And, i will gif you stuff… but even that can’t annymore ;P

  36. 36 swedogadog:

  37. 37 why should i tel u lol:

    the game is in the dirt. the whole purpas of the game is in the scrap. u cant pk u cant give more than 3k every 15 minits and on top of that there is a new lvl caled sumoning wtf is that all about. the title is like a little kid drew it up and it is so babyis i cant stand to even log in let alone play the dame game. i am so sick of the fact that jadex is changing the game but there is 1 plus u can drop items over 3k and give youre mates, just go to the party room in world 155 there is no1 ever there and the mates can get the items. wat i do wen i get bord. anyway im off c ya enjoy the game (if u r a freack that loves the game so much he wont ever quit) if u want my acc it is lvl 100 its portland00 and the pass is pokemon007 engoy it ant a memb

  38. 38 Jagex Hater:

    Runescape used to be the game with the worst graphics and the best gameplay; now its the game with the worst graphs and gameplay. Jagex made an huge mistake on purpose to anger all Runescape players or had a huge accident. Because of the loss of the wildenss many, i mean many Runescape players have quit, including me. The wilderness was our area to pridfully attack other players with vengence. Now its a dump that we use to burn our garbage. The main thing i have to say it that JAGEX is run by stupied 30-50 year old dumbass’s that do not know the meaning of PROFIT.

  39. 39 Mozzy041996:

  51. 51 Myke:

    Been playing runescape for quite some time..
    I used to create so many accounts, but
    my friends suggest to use only one,
    i got to level 120 tops.

  52. 52 darian:

    this guide needs some updating. The wilderness is completely gone (pking with that), trade limits and the grand exchange should be factored in, and of course, runescape hd. The graphics are improved and I dont think they resemble diablo any longer.

  53. 53 Wake:

    This guide makes runescape look like shit, i am a 126 and if i would have seen this guide when first starting i probably wouldnt have played, i would suggest going to youtube and watching some videos of some high level boss fights and awesome shit like that.

  54. 54 mussshy:

    i recon runescape is cool just it takes a long time to get dragon like iv got im leval 139 attk and leval 112 def if u want to ADD ME type mussshy in ur friends list and il talk to u and give u rune armer k

  55. 55 yyooo31:

  58. 58 wonderman278:

    I THINK RUNESCAPE IS THE BEAT PC ONLINE GAME EVER AND ITS FULL OF ACTION PACKED ADVENTURES AND MANY QUESTS SO WELL DONE JAGEX

  59. 59 ban:

    i know one thing for sure, if u complain to jagex about being abused by there staff or if you complain about being mistreated or muted /banned for no reason they will not look into it for ur sake they will make ur life a living hell, they banned me permantly , i complainted everyday saying they got it wrong, after 7 months soemone grew a brain and unbanned me, i asked them what about my 3 months of membership i lost, ? the answer: be glad u are still ingame.. no iam not glad u are thieves u banned me for no reason then stole my money, so i complained, after that jagex is trying hes best to make my gaming life a living hell, they are honoring all reports made against me no matter how silly they are, even if i win a appeal the keep me muted for 24 hours, instead of unmuting me directly,

    if you got a valid complaint go to the watchdog.co.uk website and fill in a official complaint, the more complaints arrive there the better chance we stand in takiing action against these obviouse thieves..
    cause they think they are international they can not be touched, well they are wrong, the law of the country there server is in counts..

  60. 60 yingyangyosk:

    hey i know how u feeli had a 128 but he got hacked!and the hacker was perpared. he changed my recovery questions right away. but i started again as a “sk” and now im lvl 55. with guthix on! hey u should add me

    Yingyangyosk

  61. 61 Brendeezy:

    lol of course hackers are prepared….I would have the change password and delete recovs screens up before I got the password (saying if I was a stealer, I’m NOT)..it’s not even hacking either it’s stealing..you had to have given them your info or something before they got you…….It truly does suck though. The last response is like 3 months ago so I doubt anyone will reply to me…about that guys ban..I doubt that..although I hate when a staff member of something bans you for no reason and of course they get their way because they’re staff…I don’t see Jagex doing that though……Jagex owns..RuneScape owns….So many quests and they add new ones all the time..they release new content like every 1-2 weeks, graphics own for a Java game, so many skills, fun magic spells (Vengeance and Barrage) :) …although tbh I wouldn’t play at all if I was a non-member..soooo boring when you are..only if you were a member though cause most likely you have mostly member stuff and your bank is filled way past the non member mark and you have to get used to some losses of being a mem….RuneScape has to be the best browser game if not of all computer games….and aye..Andrew Gower aint cryin’ when he has made over 210 million dollars……

  62. 62 Brendeezy:

    p.s. Mussshy wtf are you going on about:

    “ike iv got im leval 139 attk and leval 112 def”

    Skill maxes are 99 dumba**……

  63. 63 Eliwood407:

    Me again,
    126 combat atm.
    You guys should pubish this website for new players

  64. 64 ilovejs4ever:

    you know, i hate that it is so easy to get other stats up over others and that you have to try so hard to make money when others get a lucky drop from the falador party room or somethin… im lvl 104 and im thinkin bout quitin…

  65. 65 cody:

    I currently have a level 94 and a level 86 accounts. If your bored look me up runey2334 and dragonton16 or my old account (I hate hackers) crossfier. for all you guys blaming jagex for banning you its nothing but your own fault. peace
