The Fall and Rise of RuneScape

What was the best aspect of being rs07 gold on iphone a child? Was it the lack of responsibility or expectation? The school days spent with friends? The summer holidays that seemed to stretch on for weeks? We have all got our personal reasons to return and be nostalgic, but many people talk about a common one: RuneScape.

If you are in your twenties - or perhaps slightly younger - you'll likely have spent some obscene quantity of time on the classic MMORPG. It was the after-school action of choice for so many of us when bad weather forced us indoors (though that was never the sole reason to perform ). But why was it so hot in the moment? How did this absolutely free internet RPG, developed in Cambridge, catch the eye and the hearts of so many? And where can it be today?

I'll be up-front with you: it's hard for me to write about RuneScape without some level of bias - admittedly based largely upon my own rosy-tinted nostalgia for this game. If it is not completely clear by now: I love it. I loved it and I love the memories I have of it now but I will do my very best to return at it today in the most objective way I could - for a while, at least.

The very first version of the sport - now titled RuneScape Classic and playable - came out in 2001 and has been played by a relative few compared to its upgraded version but it was'RuneScape 2' - the upgraded version most of us know and love - which really took the MMORPG world by storm. 'RuneScape 2' (because it was not formally branded but became widely called ) was released in March 2004 after a replica of the first version's then-outdated engine. If the calendar year 2004 seems familiar to MMORPG fans - then it should, as it had been the year where the enormous World of Warcraft was first unshackled. RuneScape's engine could have had several fresh coats of paint, but compared to WoW's was like a Spitfire to an F-18. The running joke surrounding RuneScape was regarding just how awful it looked - even for the time - and many of the in-game versions were laughable in contrast to World of Warcraft's full-3D graphics. The point-and-click control system seemed slow and unresponsive compared to WoW's keyboard-controlled motion, and the battle was, to put it bluntly, often most safe way to buy runescape money boiled down to little more than simply clicking on an enemy - as opposed to the smorgasbord of battle skills and special moves which WoW's system utilised.
