Top Five Reasons For Playing RuneScape

Five Reasons why you should choose RuneScape over other free MMORPG games.

1 – It’s the most popular MMORPG in the world

RuneScape, as Jagex humbly claims, is the ‘ Number 1 Free Multiplayer Game ‘. It is probably the only game that every single person who’s at least a bit interested in RPG games knows about. And, as we know, popularity draws a lot of attention, meaning that RuneScape has a very large community. Of course, high popularity has some negative effects, too. That’s why botters and other types of cheaters are almost an everyday sight in RuneScape. That doesn’t really affect game-play much – only at the lower levels, maybe.

2 – There’s always something to do in RuneScape

RuneScape has a lot of events – for every season celebration (Christmas, Easter, etc). There’s also some bonus events – some of them in the forums, some in-game (these are mostly members-only). Even when no events are happening, you can still find a lot of what to do – you could be a merchant (sell or buy items) and make money, have a party (Falador party room), play mini-games with your friends or other people, and much, MUCH more.

3 – There’s no classes in RuneScape

Unlike almost every other RPG game, RuneScape doesn’t have classes – the same person can be a melee warrior, an adept magician, and a skilled archer all in the same. This makes combat in RuneScape highly flexible – you never know when an enemy will drop his sword and cast a deadly fire blast on you. I think that this is one of the main things that separates RuneScape from other games of similar genres.

4 – There are a lot of combat skills in RuneScape

RuneScape has three ‘ main ‘ combat skills: melee, ranged, magic. Melee is also separated into 3 ‘ side skills ‘: Attack (the chance of hitting an enemy), Strength (the damage caused by successful attacks), Defense (the chance to evade someone else’s attacks). This is another interesting feature of RuneScape – you must use a skill to level it up. When you fight, every single point of damage caused by you will be calculated towards your EXP. Even your character’s level (or ‘ combat level ‘) is calculated according to the level of your combat skills. There are also other skills (for P2P users) that aren’t directly associated with combat, but still increase your character’s level. Basically, the combat is extremely well-designed.

5 – There are even more non-combat skills in RuneScape

Aside from the awesome combat skills, RuneScape also has many non-combat skills. That includes crafting, blacksmithing, fletching, etc. You can make almost anything that you use in the game by crafting skills. Which means that, while playing RuneScape, you won’t spend all of your time fighting things. Actually, you might as well spend more time ‘ working ‘ than fighting. On the other hand, crafting skills are highly limited for free players, but it’s your choice whether you choose to pay or not.

Hope these reason can help you to know much more abou the Runescape and want to play Runescape more ofen!
