A screenshot of the game interface from RuneScape

Players begin in a secluded expanse, where they are taken through a tutorial, a prepare path where they learn the near bones skills in RuneScape.^[sixteen] After the tutorial, players have access to tutors and advisors located in the towns they explore, who can give players advisable information about their respective skills.^[17]

Players set their ain goals and objectives equally they play the game. They tin train their in-game skills, engage non-actor character (NPC) monsters and other players in combat and complete quests at their discretion.^[18] Players interact with each other through trading, chatting or past participating in mini-games.

Skills

There are 28 skills in RuneScape, 17 skills available to complimentary-to-play players and an additional 11 for members, which enable players to perform various activities allowing for interaction with NPCs, the environment and other players. Players proceeds experience points in a skill when they use it. For example, mining an ore trains the mining skill, and when the thespian accumulates enough experience points in the skill, their character volition "level upwardly".^[xix] As a skill level rises, the ability to retrieve better raw materials and produce amend products increases, as does the experience awarded if the player uses new abilities. The total skill level of a player partly symbolises the histrion's status in the game and subscribers with a loftier full level tin can appear on the high scores.^[twenty] Upon reaching the highest available level in a skill, members may purchase a special cape to symbolise their achievement.^[21]

Some skills, such equally woodcutting and fishing, enable the player to collect raw materials that can be processed into usable items for other skills, such equally fletching and cooking respectively. The items created can be used by the thespian or sold to shops and other players. Other skills allow players to kill certain NPCs, build their own houses, motility around the map with greater ease, steal from various NPCs, market stalls and chests located in-game, light fires, melt their own nutrient, create their own potions, craft runestones and weapons, plant their own plants, hunt NPC animals, raid dungeons, and summon familiars to aid in combat and training skills.^[22]

Combat

RuneScape features a semi-real-fourth dimension gainsay system. Combat is an important aspect of the game, assuasive players to defeat monsters to obtain dropped items or to consummate quests. A combat level is an indicator of how powerful a histrion or NPC is in gainsay. For players, information technology is adamant past applying a mathematical formula to their combat skills.^[23] Players appoint in gainsay past clicking on the enemy they want their character to attack and volition automatically continue fighting until they kill their opponent, die, or retreat from the fight. Almost of the game's weapons are medieval or fantastical in nature, and feature different strengths and weaknesses. Players may likewise summon a familiar to assist with combat,^[24] utilise special attacks called "abilities" to deal boosted damage,^[25] and utilize potions and the Prayer skill to boost their combat prowess.

Combat is subdivided into three main categories: melee, magic and ranged. Melee attacks are close range,^[26] magic attacks focus on using runestones to bandage spells,^[27] and ranged attacks use projectile weapons similar arrows, darts or throwing knives.^[28] These combat types brand upward a "Combat Triangle", which governs effectiveness of styles in a rock-newspaper-pair of scissors style; melee beats ranged, ranged beats magic, magic beats melee, and each style is neutral to itself.^[29] The advantages and disadvantages of the combat triangle utilize to both NPCs and player opponents. Players are not required to cull a grapheme class nor are they bound to a specific category of combat. They may freely change between or combine the three styles of gainsay past switching weapons and armour.

Combat is governed past a life points system. Every combatant has a maximum capacity of life points, and dies when their wellness is depleted to 0. Lost life points can be recovered by consuming sure nutrient or drinks, or casting abilities. Players who die reappear at a respawn point of their selection with their life and skill points restored; however, they drop all simply three chosen items, as well every bit sure mutual items.^{[23] [30]} Dying spawns a gravestone that volition hold all of the actor's items and volition last for an allotted time; however, there are situations in which all items will be lost upon expiry. If the player does not return in time, the grave will collapse and their items will disappear.^{[23] [30]}

In June 2012 players were invited to beta-test a new gainsay system named "Evolution of Combat",^[31] which included primal changes such as re-balancing the Combat Triangle to avoid favouring melee attacks,^[32] and replacing special weapon attacks with abilities that produce a range of effects when activated. The system was released on the alive game on 20 November 2012.^[25] Various polls were also added for players to vote on in game that would decide the issue of future content development,^[33] some of which would dictate the evolution of the improved combat arrangement.^{[34] [35]} A beta for a separate combat organisation dubbed "Legacy Style" was opened to players on 16 June 2014,^[36] before existence introduced to the live game on fourteen July. Legacy Mode allows players to switch to the combat system and interface from prior to June 2012 instead of the Evolution of Gainsay arrangement.^[37]

Player versus player combat

Player versus player combat (PvP) can be performed in specific controlled mini-games and in an area known as the Wilderness. The Duel Arena allows players to stake money and items,^[38] while other PvP games offering their own rewards. In the Wilderness, players can engage in combat provided that their combat levels autumn within a certain range of each other, and if a thespian kills their opponent they volition be able to merits their opponent's items as a reward.^[39]

Before December 2007, players went to the Wilderness to fight other players within a certain combat level range, hoping to kill them and proceeds their items.^[40] In Dec 2007, the Wilderness was altered to prevent players from transferring in-game items for existent-globe currency.^[41] PvP combat was removed from the Wilderness and temporarily restricted to new mini-games named Bounty Hunter and Clan Wars.^[42] Compensation Hunter was replaced by special Bounty Worlds on half-dozen May 2009 in which players were confined to the Wilderness and could be assigned specific targets to impale.^[43] "PvP Worlds" were introduced on 15 Oct 2008 where players could fight almost anywhere in Gielinor,^[44] but these and "Bounty Worlds" were removed when PvP gainsay in the Wilderness was restored on 1 February 2011.^[45]

Non-player interaction

NPCs populate the realm of Gielinor. Some NPCs, such equally shopkeepers and some characters in quests, are unavailable for gainsay. However, virtually NPCs can exist attacked and these are generally referred to as monsters. Monsters range from common, depression-level creatures, such as chickens and goblins, to unique and often much more powerful monsters, such as the Queen Blackness Dragon, Telos, and Vorago.^[46]

Most monsters accept their ain strengths and weaknesses, notable exceptions being certain bosses, which have no specific weaknesses. Demons, for example, take a weak defense force confronting ranged attacks, while metal dragons have extremely high defence confronting ranged. The weakness of an individual monster is displayed in an interface higher up its model, along with its gainsay level and lifepoints.

Monsters may either be aggressive or not-aggressive. Not-aggressive monsters ignore players unless attacked, while aggressive monsters may set on all players or may only attack players with combat levels below a specified level, depending on the circumstances or location. This tin can make certain areas throughout Gielinor dangerous or inconvenient to players with lower combat levels.^[46]

Actor interaction

Friends Chat broadcasts text in the message box only to certain players tuned into a specific channel, who tin can be available on whatever RuneScape earth. Each Friends Chat channel has an owner, who can assign different ranks to private players; players' ranks dictate their ability to perform administrative tasks within the channel. Association Chat allows members of a clan to communicate with each other through a split channel.^[49] Quick Chat allows players to cull from a list of predetermined messages to transport as Public Chat, Association Conversation, or Friends Chat.^[50]

RuneScape also features independent mini-games, although about are merely available to paying members. Mini-games take place in certain areas and usually involve specific in-game skills, and normally require players to cooperate or to compete with each other. Examples of these mini-games include Castle Wars, which is like to the real-life game Capture the Flag, Pest Control, a highly combat-focused mini-game, and Fist of Guthix, where i role player (the hunter) tries to terminate another thespian (the hunted) from collecting charges into a magical stone.^[51]

To support RuneScape 's costless content, advertisements appear on a banner above the playing screen on the free-to-play servers. Since computer users may utilise advertizement blockers, which may discourage advertisers, Jagex introduced a dominion that prohibits players from blocking these advertisements.^[64] On 13 July 2006, Jagex signed an exclusive marketing and distribution contract with WildTangent Games,^[65] which granted WildTangent the correct to handle advertisement in and around RuneScape in the United States, and to distribute RuneScape through the WildTangent Games Network,^[65] reaching over 20 million consumer PCs.^[66]

"...the genre feels slightly passed clicking an enemy and watching two swords clunk mercilessly into opposing trunk forms...RuneScape has grind in abundance and while this is not entirely a bad matter, it will put some players off looking for a slightly easier and more casual experience".^[145] The game received the "Role-Playing Game" award at The Independent Game Developers' Association Awards 2018.^[146]

On 10 Dec 2007, updates by Jagex removed free actor-versus-histrion combat and unbalanced trading in order to rid the game of activities involving existent currency beingness traded for virtual goods.^{[42] [147]} The updates besides affected legitimate players, resulting in many of them actively complaining on the forums.^[148] Jagex issued a Customer Support News article admitting the updates may not have been an platonic replacement for what was removed, requesting patience and promising to remedy potential problems with updates in the future.^[149] During the changes, subscription numbers roughshod by 60,000.^[150] No figures were given every bit to how many of those subscriptions belonged to legitimate players and how many to aureate farmers.
