My, How Far We’ve Come

In the year of 1998, a British programmer created a game called DeviousMUD. It looked like this. What does this have to do with RuneScape, you may ask? As you may have noticed, DeviousMUD was created by Andrew Gower. He decided to rewrite the game with his brother, Paul. Andrew and Paul named this rewritten game [...]

Soloing the Corporeal Beast

Since the days of Classic, monster combat in RuneScape has changed a lot. The King Black Dragon used to be a feared creature, one that took several players to kill. The Kalphite Queen was the strongest, a monster many adventurers bravely took on for a chance at a dragon chainbody. Now, both of those monsters [...]

What’s That Sound I Hear?

It sounds like a wall crashing down. More specifically, the fourth wall, and it happens to be nonexistant in RuneScape. For those of you that don’t have a clue what this is about, the fourth wall is a reference to old theater, and it basically involves “going out of character”. An example of this would [...]

Jagex’s big update of September is Distractions and Diversions. It’s really not a single update, but a few organized into a category. Each event moves to a different location each week. The first part of D&D is Balthazar Beauregard’s Big Top Bonanza. From here on out I’ll refer to it as the circus, since Balthazar Beauregard’s [...]

As of Friday, August 15, 2008, there are 24 skills in RuneScape. Some support each other, like woodcutting supports fletching. Ever since RuneScape’s creation there have been ideas for many new skills to add, from Flying to Engineering to many others. One of the most popular ideas was a Necromancy or Summoning skill, which was [...]

Woes of a RuneScape Traveler

I have always been a big fan of exploration in RuneScape. Even if there isn’t a quest to do, a skill to train, or a minigame to play, I like to travel to many different places just to look around. More so after the graphics update, there are quite a few interesting places that can [...]

RuneScape…without graphics?

posted by Rune Beast on 21st July 2008, at 2:32pm | 1 Comment
Until recently, RuneScape has always had very poor graphics compared to other games of its kind, such as World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and many other MMORPGs. With the graphical update, it now has competitive graphics, and some textures are believed to be better than those in World of Warcraft. But what if RuneScape didn’t [...]

Any players of RuneScape that didn’t sign up within the past couple of months (and even some that did) know of RuneScape’s troubling history of cheaters. From macroing to gold farming to afk training, RuneScape has a known problem of players trying to take the easy way out. Even Jagex knew this, and with updates [...]

My name is Dan, and I play RuneScape.

I was recently reading a thread on the forums for The Escapist, an online gaming newspaper. The thread was called “Secret gaming confessions”, and it asked posters to post some. As I read the thread, I saw things like “I enjoy watching people play Viva Pinata out of curiosity” or “I’ve never played *insert famous [...]

Fist of Guthix

After Jagex “killed” the Wilderness and most Player Vs. Player combat in RuneScape, they have been trying to keep PKers interested. Fist of Guthix is the newest Player Vs. Player Mini-game and, unlike other Mini-games, it is available to free players. Instead of item-risking Bounty Hunter, all your items are safe while you play in [...] « Older Entries
