However, none of them can beat the slaying of the dragon on Crandor as the most memorable and remarkable achievement a player who is free to play can achieve OSRS Gold. There are more quests that can be unlocked by becoming a paying member of RuneScape and I did. This opens up much of the world map along with a host of other things which marked me apart from the novice I'd so far been.
You are of course able to freely roam around and explore the vast deserts and plains or venture east into the dark vampyre-infested swamps and swamps of Morytania and best of all, by listening to the Bobby Pickett song 'Monster Mash' playing throughout the game. Speaking of songs, entering an area for the first time opens the appropriate soundtrack(s) to the location. There are some catchy tunes in there. I remember hearing an old Christmas tune playing.
Alongside the adventure, the role-playing is the most multiplayer of all which was enjoyable to have thousands players with whom to compete, trade, and compare my performance against. RuneScape also includes chat rooms and friends lists that proved to my PS2-equipped mind that gaming can be a communal and a solo experience.
PvP (player versus player) areas are aplenty of them, from the tense excitement in Duel Arena to the frenzied chaos of Castle Wars. For me, if I needed something more comfortable, I could and relax along the river at Lumbridge or at a market in town and let the virtual world pass through.The Gower brothers naturally developed an entire community over the course of time, they were not perfect and made massive leaps forward because the nature of the industry in the early days allowed it. Something like RuneScape would not be possible in the present day.
RuneScape was a decade-long passion project developed by three brothers within their kitchen at home with their parents. They made it using the free gaming software that they got from gaming magazines RuneScape Gold for sale. The game was made monetizable so that they could be able to justify working on it full time, while keeping the game remaining completely free to play at the same time.
