Advantages: Popular, Fun, Addicting, Lots To Do, Free Option

Disadvantages: Pay For Extras, Too Addicting

Runescape is a massively multiplayer online role playing game, which I used to play until I felt a little too old and it became boring. At the times when I did play, it was really fun as you could fight other real players online, trade, chat and do a lot more.

It's free to play unless you want to become a 'member' and pay from around £3.50 a month to get access to a lot more. The aim of the game is to progress in certain skills including combat ones like attack, strength, defence, range, magic and prayer as well as in non-combat ones such as woodcutting, mining, smithing, herbivore, slayer and firemaking. Some of the skills are for members only and they give access to a lot more features.

The world map is quite big and you have access to the full thing if you're a member, but only a little bit if you play for free. There are quests to complete, like missions, which make up the main part of the game. Some are easy and others are a lot harder and you need to be quite strong to defeat certain monsters. There have been many updates to the game, so now there are also more things to do.

Besides all the quests, you can find different monsters to fight them and take loot. You can earn cash through trading things, selling things and killing monsters. There are player vs. player worlds where you can fight other players in different scenarios. There are banks across the worlds too where you can store all your items, which is useful.

The graphics have improved slightly over time, especially after a large graphics update. There are many different worlds, which are for around the world including USA, UK, Sweeden, Netherlands and Canada. However, you can enter any world no matter where you're from. It's a great game to play and very addicting so you need a lot of spare time on your hands! It's annoying it costs to play and unlock all the extras and the full map, but it's worth it in a way.

Thanks for reading,
