Runescape's fundamental combat system von Sletrrys Blog

Happy with my advancement, I place an additional eight hours into fostering my skills. At this time my general belief is that Runescape has only gotten prettier and easier, which OSRS gold would not be enough to haul me back into its F2P clutches.

What did handle that (I begrudgingly admit) was that the number and caliber of quests to be completed in RuneScape. Quests are everywhere, and each is its own foray to a tiny fragment of Runescape lore. They also come in all sizes and shapes, from shearing sheep and running errands to slaying dragons or planting your own prison escape.

Runescape's tone is joyously mild, and with fewer level cap hurdles to jump over you're free to embrace and explore it without submitting to the grind. That is great, since Runescape's quests have never actually required one to use skills aside from combat, and have generally comprised puzzles or interactive components which have more in common with old school point-and-click experience games than dream questing.

Areas that used to be vacant are brimming with NPCs, quests and stories. Each inch of the world was full of, or sometimes expanded, so as to incorporate all the characters, enemies and also attributes that Jagex have been busy stuffing into the game for the last decade. The fact that Runescape is an internet game is now a bonus rather than its primary draw. Jagex could take their match entirely offline and cheap Runescape gold might still be worth playingwith.

But that is the biggest gap between Runescape and its still running Old School Runescape counterpart. Both share about the exact same number of concurrent players, but how players interact in every is quite different.
