If the calendar year 2004 seems familiar to MMORPG fans

What's the best aspect of being a child? Can it be the absence of obligation or expectation? The college spent with friends? The summer holidays that seemed to stretch on for weeks runescape 3 gold for sale ? We have all got our personal reasons to look back and be nostalgic, but many people talk about a common one: RuneScape.

If you are in your twenties - or perhaps slightly younger - you will probably have spent some obscene quantity of time on the classic MMORPG. It had been the after-school action of choice for so many people when bad weather forced us inside (though that was never the sole reason to play). However, why was it so hot at the time? How did this absolutely free internet RPG, developed in Cambridge, capture the attention and the hearts of a lot of? And where is it today?

I'll be up-front with you: it is difficult for me to write about RuneScape without some amount of prejudice - admittedly based largely upon my very own rosy-tinted nostalgia for this match. In case it is not completely clear by now: I really like it. I loved it and I love the memories I have of it today but I will do my best to return at it now in the most objective way I can - for a little while, at least.

'RuneScape 2' (because it was not formally branded but became widely known as) was released in March 2004 following a replica of the first version's then-outdated engine. If the calendar year 2004 seems familiar to MMORPG fans - then it ought to, as it was the year in which the enormous World of Warcraft was unshackled. RuneScape's engine may have had several new coats of paint, but compared to WoW's how to buy osrs gold with money was like a Spitfire to an F-18. The running joke surrounding RuneScape was regarding just how awful it looked - even for its time - and many of the in-game versions were laughable in contrast to World of Warcraft's full-3D graphics. The point-and-click management system seemed slow and unresponsive in comparison to WoW's keyboard-controlled movement, and the battle was, to put it bluntly, often boiled down to more than simply clicking on an enemy - as opposed to the smorgasbord of combat skills and special moves which WoW's system employed.
