Pleased with my progress, I place an extra eight hours into
RS gold boosting my abilities. At this point my general impression is that Runescape has only gotten prettier and easier, which wouldn't be sufficient to haul me back into its F2P clutches.
What did manage that (I begrudgingly admit) was the number and caliber of quests to be performed in RuneScape. Quests are everywhere, and every is its own foray into a tiny fragment of Runescape lore. There is a quest where you take control of a seagull and use it to bomb zombie pirates with bird poo.
Runescape's tone is joyously mild, and with fewer level cap hurdles to leap over you're free to adopt and explore it without submitting to the mill. Which is great, since Runescape's quests haven't really required you to utilize skills other than combat, and have usually comprised puzzles or interactive elements that have more in common with old school point-and-click adventure games than fantasy questing.
Areas that used to be vacant are brimming with NPCs, quests and
cheap Runescape gold. Every inch of the world was filled in, or sometimes expanded, in order to incorporate all of the characters, enemies and features that Jagex have been busy stuffing into the game for the last decade. The fact that Runescape is an internet game is currently a bonus as opposed to its primary draw. Jagex may take their game entirely offline and it would still be worth playing.
