Runescape (For the second time)
Well, I'm not sure if I got around to anyone last time I put a topic like this up. So I will try to show more people the glory of Runescape.
Here is a link to the game site. If that doesnt work then the web address is runescape.com
But please read this first.
As I have said before, Runescape is a 3D, Browser based, MMO with some RPG elements. You will always be leveling up your character so you can mine a certian ore, smith certian bars, wield certian wepons or wear certian armor. Basically, anyone with the right Java plug-in, a good internet connection and a computer can play this game. It is free to play, but for just five dollars a month, you can become a Member. As a member, you are entitled to new skills, almost three times the area of a free player, new weapons and armors, and thousands more items. If you are a free player, there are close to fifty quests to complete, but you have almost two hundred if you are a member. The world of Runescape is always being updated, but most of the updates are on member's servers, they do occasionally do something for the free players.
When you sign up, you pick a username, which is who other players will see you as in the game, (And there are hundreds of thousands of players). You will also be required to choose a password, but be carefull.
Avoid common hacks and scams.
Don't make it something that other people will be able to guess easly. Just by adding two numbers to the end of your password makes another ten thousand possabilities it could be. Needless to say, do not say your pass word in the game. Because there is a chat sencor, that I kind of hate, does not mean you can say your password freely. Runescape DOES NOT block your pass word. If you are near someone who says that their pass word is ****** (astricts are what the chat filter uses to replace obscene words and phrases) then he typed those astricts intentionally. He is just trying to get you to say your password so he can steal your account. There is a very simple way to prevent this kind of hack, DON'T SAY YOUR PASSWORD!
Be carefull about visiting fan sites or other forums.
Some fansites are just rigged with keyloggers. Keyloggers are what some people use to hack your account. I recomend only using two fansites, each has forums, quest guide, skill guides, and other stuff. Runevillage.com and runehq.com. In my opinion, those are the two safest sites. By the way, 95% of the time, antivirus software WILL NOT get rid of keyloggers. The only way is to reformat your hard drive, so be carefull.
When you first start playing the game, you will be taken to Tutorial Island. That is where you learn most of the basics of Runescape, such as how to cook, wield weapons and kill.
As of right now, there are two versions of Runescape. Runescape 2 (Which is the 3D one I keep raving about) and Runescape Classic. RSclassic is the old version of runescape. It looks like it was made by a 10 year old on crack.
And just a friendly tip: when you get off tutorial island and can interact with other players, don't try to trade with everyone you see or keep asking for free stuff. That annoys most of the higher level people. And don't be put down by insults like "noob" or "babe", that is just something that the high levels do to to make themselvs feel better than you. And a lot of the high levels hate newbies for some reason, I don't know why.
I am currently at level 35 and am training my mining skill. If anyone has an old RS account that they never use anymore and don't mind letting me have it please Email the username and password to me.
