I am a player of Runescape as of late. I played a few years back but got out of it, and now I'm back. They have made some awsome changes since the last time I was playing. The graphic's have improved a fair bit. There is more detail than there was before to the sceenry. The character creation is nicer now. There are more choices in the garment/clothes you choose to start with and a nice selection of colours. Lots more choices of hair too.
The tutorial for Runescape is very simple to understand and not too wordy or not worded in an odd manner. They are simple and to the point instructions that are helpfull to the knowledge of the game. It makes the game play much more easier to understand. It goes through opening doors, to lighting fires, to mineing and fighting. It teaches you all that and more. The down side is that it is a bit long for a tutorial if you don't have much time. Set aside a half an hour to go through the tutorial. You may need more or less time depending on what you are doing at the time and how fast you read and respond to the instructions. But on the up side it is specific and fun to do at the same time.
It is skill oriented. Everything is about skills. There is two differnt types of attacking like skills and one for defence. The game is not based around beating things up but about improving all the skills a bit at a time. If you get board with chopping trees to up your wood cutting you can then go fishing and up that a bit. As you up your skills more options get opened to you. If you become a member they have 8 more skills added for your use and to enjoy, such as theivery and herblore and hunting. There is so much to do that you don't get board easily, and when you do, you do something else in the game.
The world is vast and colourful. And there is a large part that is free and gives enough contest that it is still a worth while play.
The bad thing is that there are way more member quests and only a few free quests. That's a bummer.
But the game isn't just quest oriented. There are jobs to do as well. You can take on a job from any number of NPC's, but you can only take one at a time. You may do more than one quest at a time though. The jos can earn you a nice amount of cash though. And if you don't feel like doing the quest you are given and want another one you are free to change it with no penelty.
The other bad thing is your inventory is small, but you learn quickly what is needed and not to carry around in your backpack. It does show your weight as you carry things but I havn't come accross a max carrying capacity or encombrace thing though.
It is not the most advanced graphics by any means, but the game play is very fun and entertaining. I would give up graphics for great game play anytime. Cool detail game and boring game is still a boring game. But good game play, i feel, makes a game.
Oh and the great thing is with the amount of context there is, it is still browser based with no need to download anything. This makes it easier for younger people who's parents are worried about downloading things.
Oh and I havn't noticed a level cap but it does not mean there isn't one. I've seen people as high up level as 78.
That is my comments at the moment. Please add stuff if need be to my content if needed.
