It seems odd, but honestly necessary, to reintroduce RuneScape every couple of years. This is a game so infinitely popular and yet so astonishingly marginalized. Perhaps due to its browser-based nature, or the fact it launched around the time of genre stalwarts EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, and Anarchy Online, it seems that nobody really pays any attention to the UK-based MMO.


But then, that isn't strictly true. RuneScape is one of the world's most popular online games, pegging up an impressive 200 million users throughout its 12 year life. So it would probably be apt to describe the Jagex product as a "quietly massive" groundbreaking, ultra popular fantasy simulation, that shares a similarity with Fight Club (and we don't talk about Fight Club).

So many hours of my life lost on this game. 2001-2004, classic RS...oh man the memories. It's a Hybrid themepark / Sandbox and has full loot on death(Except your 3 most valuable items, unless you've killed someone unprovoked, then you drop all items)

Such a great game, getting a facelift. Oh so many people see the graphics and laugh...but it's got style, it's sharp, it's interesting,and stuff looks cool.
