The beauty of Runescape then was the low system requirements and incredibly addictive grind-like gameplay. The MMORPG makes full use of a power system which requires experience points (EXP) to rise in levelsup to a total of 99 in each skill. Skills cover many locations, from battle to prayer, wood cutting to fishing, and smithing to RS gold. There was enough content to keep all of us entertained, whichever ability you preferred.
The neighborhood was enormous. Servers were always filling up and mini-games had more than enough players for several rounds to be appreciated. You could even hang out with other players and simply talk a load of nonsense while spending hours at a time mining iron for this juicy 100,000 gold coin to get 1,000 units of ore commerce. We appreciated PK'ing (player killing), questing (at times), and standard activity grinding to find out who'd be among the very first to strike 99 in a skill.
You can set up a new account called"magicdong400xXx" because that's the limitation of teenage imagination, grind resources, develop battle skills adhering to a professional"pure" PK manual, make money, purchase cool-looking gear (black trimmed addy armor anybody?) , then lose it in the jungle. Rinse and repeat, and yes that meant making a new account since we wanted to check out new strategies (that sucked).
To my surprise, Runescape is still going strong and there is even a mobile version on the way. It's buy OSRS gold drawing tens of thousands of players each and every day with servers holding hundreds of people.So I logged in and selected a server to join.
