Runescape is a well balanced game since all players can do all things. There are several combat related skills, including Attack, Strength, Hitpoints, Ranged and Magic. All these skills are accessible to both free and subscription members. However, “fletching”, which is required to make various types of arrows, is restricted to subscribers.
RuneScape was originally released in 2001 as a simple browser-based MMORPG, but a recent update puts RuneScape’s graphic and content quality on par with many client-based MMORPGs. A unique aspect of RuneScape is it doesn’t force players to choose a class, rather it allows them to customize their character however they like by working on their individual skills, which is a welcome change.
Combat is slow-paced in RuneScape, especially at the beginning since new players will often miss and deal little damage. Luckily, as you gain skills this fault is remedied with more hits and increased damage to your opponents.
