A Candid Review of Runescape

For those of you who never heard of the game called Runescape, I'm going to tell you about it. You probably seen this game if you visit the local library, because you got pre-teens populating your library playing this game everyday.

This popular game is a massive, multiplayer online role-playing game (Wow, isn't that a mouth full?)

What sets this game different from other generic RPG games ... it's online and it's free!

Runescape started back in the year 2000 by some kid who lived in his parent's basement or something and how it grow to a multi-million dollar company because he charges money to play the game (don't worry, you can still a get free Runescape account, it's just that the quest is more limited)

So what do you do in this game?

Basically you pick a character from the game. It's your avatar.

You can customize how he looks like. You walk around in this virtual world and you can do whatever the heck you want.

For example, you could slay monsters. If you're lazy you could do some cooking. If you're inclined, you could also build your own house. And finally, you could go fishing (strangely enough)

What's the best part of this game? That it's free!

Unlike other games such as World of Warcraft (I am not hating on World of Warcraft, don't worry)

Another thing I should mention...

The graphics for this game is free decent considering its run on your web browser with no special plugin except Java. (Most computers could handle this game, even if it's 5 years old)
