It's an older MMORPG style if you are into that sort. It's notoriously a grindy game taking forever to max out levels but it's a good time waster if you don't mind the graphics. There's an upgraded HD version that gives you a little better experience you can use. 

There's fishing, crafting, woodcutting, you got your basic combats too, mage, range, melee. There's some unique features to the game like runecrafting. Eh all in all it's not a bad game. Probably a little something for everyone in there. Raids, quests, skills, leveling. 

This sounds very good I like a lot of older games. Is it easy to get into?

Yea you know there's a tutorial for it when you start that explains a little. There's some guides in the city you start in called Lumbridge that also give you beginner quests and explanations for a lot of the game play. You start off on a free to play area and typically if you like it you can pay to get members which expands what you can do including getting more skills to level up. Being on the free worlds usually are enough for a beginner at first without overwhelming you and teaches you the basics.

Thank you for explaining some. Is this runescape.com or the other one oldschool.runescape.com? I think I have them a little confused. How much does it cost when you go to a member server? Sorry for all the questions

Nah you good lil puff guy or girl lol 

It's Oldschool Runescape and there's a big difference. Most of us don't play the one on Runescape.com, that was the original version that turned into what is now known as Runescape 3. The creators realized they ran the game into the ground by creating RS3, lost the majority of their player base and then scrambled to fix it by creating Old School Runescape which was the game from a file from 2007 before they turned it into RS3 and ruined it. Runescape 3 will give you better graphics and you level faster but it's just shit. 

Old school cost about 14 USD a month I think? I've been grandfathered in with my rate because I've been paying for members so long I think I only pay 10 but I think the new rate was 14 or 15. Or you can just buy bonds in game with in game gold which a lot of people opt for that but you can't do that as a new member because you won't have the in game gold for it. Eh, the price is a little much but if you play it a lot it's worth it.

I would pay that for a game I like that's about the going rate but some games are even more expensive than this. 

I think I want to try it out thank you for clarifying what version this is for me  

Other than tutorials what should I do once I get past that? Does anyone have any pointers or advice? I won't switch to the paid version until I'm sure I like it so I guess I will be on these free servers.

You should be advised that non members has a lot of bots so look for a world that has a low population on it. i don't like free worlds because it's hard to do a lot with all the bots stealing it all and it can be off putting to a new person. members worlds don't have bots in those new people spots.

Hopefully they are changing price rates i guess they talked about it as something coming up in the future with the new changes. 

main suggestion i'd make to you is just go kill some stuff and level up combat first to around 20 at the nearby goblins, chickens, cows, spiders whatever you run into. open up your quest panel and start working on the free to play quests next because they can give you some good starter xp and be a guide for what you should level up next and aim for.

Thank you for the information Keyaru. If I like playing it I will upgrade to members once I get a better hang of the game. I'll start tomorrow and try out some quests and see how the leveling is. You've all been really helpful I appreciate you answering new people questions.

Hi my Runescape buddies, hope you are all having a pleasant weekend. 

I played some this morning on my little free to play world and got to 20 woodcutting. Not a big accomplishment I know but I was having a good time.

I usually watch something when doing anything on RS, it helps pass the mundane tasks along quicker.

Shit I forget about the bots on those worlds ruining all the new player spots jesus. Just stay away from higher populated worlds you should be good ig. 

Idc if they change the friggen price rates I'm happy to pay the whatever it is now but they need to make that include all of your alts too. Any decent game these days typically lets you have so many alt accounts and this has been a continuing issue brought up on RS with people wanting their alts included in the price tag. They need to figure something out there or at least give a discounted rate for alt accs.
