Although these can be moderately relaxing, it's repetitive thing over and over - time that might or OSRS gold may be better spent with a few shorter, but not less classic video games.

Instead of being one continuous combat, RuneScape is a painstaking conflict of attrition which is both long and grueling, and doesn't ever truly end. But it is extremely rewarding if you're willing to invest the time in it, which I was. I think for the first year or so.

I've never played any MMORPGs since, to my inexplicably shameful loss. My real-life worries are numerous and I just do not have the time let them suck me in. Out of all games it is the longest-running, with endless levels to attain and items to acquire. There have been deaths as a result of hours-long binge sessions of the game's younger, but less loved sibling, World of Warcraft that I'm guessing also makes it an extremely scary game.

On a typical day, I usually find me having fun playing Quake or Half-Life or playing Team Fortress 2 - games that are always in high demand leave their marks and disappear quickly. It's great to be able to play something I can enjoy and then get rid of quickly, instead of having to worry about how many logs of wood I have in my inventory or the location I'm going to be fishing in the coming session.

That being said, I do miss some of the constant grind as well as longer-term commitment (and the pain) associated with RuneScape. Now in its third incarnation as 'RuneScape 3' (from 2013) with new content and an graphical revamp, there's a hint of hope that I'll return to the game to see how it's getting on, much as I would an old friend.

Publisher Jagex made it clear earlier this year that RuneScape would come out of early access on mobile sometime this summer. Beginning today, anyone is able to play RuneScape, the longest-running MMORPG for free on iOS as well as Android.

It's important to note that this isn't Old School RuneScape, a version of the game based on a version from 2007. It's available for download on iOS and Android since the beginning of 2018. It's the complete RuneScape that Jagex is cheap Runescape gold constantly improving over the last 20 years.
