Cheating

When Runescape was first launched, players attempted to develop methods of cheating. Programs have been created in the past which automatically control characters and perform tedious tasks. However, Jagex have developed macro detection routines and protections to check that humans are playing. Jagex also ask players that cheaters are reported.

The Wilderness

At the north of the Runescape world is an area called "the Wilderness". This is one of the few areas where "PKing" (player killing) is allowed (in most areas of Runescape the option to attack a character is not presented). The Wilderness is a controlled area - as a player travels further into it, they are allowed to fight players with a wider range of combat levels. The first half of the Wilderness only allows one-on-one battles, however, the second half of the Wilderness allows team based battles (this area is often used for wars between clans). Apart from allowing player killing, the Wilderness can be used to find weapons, items, and spells.

Gameplay

Runescape is set in a fantasy world, without an overall goal or objective, and without a defined ending. The game instead focuses on the interaction between the player's character and the world around it. Any player can converse with another player (both privately and publicly), trade with another (or give items without expecting something in return), or in certain circumstances can kill another.

Several in-game activities exist such as fishing, mining, wood cutting, and smithing, which when practiced increase the character's skill at the activities. As a character becomes more advanced at an activity, increasing their skill becomes more difficult and time consuming.

For some players the motive to play Runescape is to increase the skill levels of their character to match and better the skill levels of others. Some players are more interested in collecting large sums of "gold pieces" (the Runescape game currency), or in collecting rare items and equipment.

Communities

Sometimes groups of players come together and form exclusive groups, or "clans". As more than one clan exists, alliances are sometimes made, and clans can go as far as fighting each other. Clan members can contact each other by using Runescape's internal messaging system, or by using external websites and message boards.

The Runescape World

All new players begin Runescape on a tutorial island, where they are introduced to the game's interface, controls, and features. Moving around is accomplished by left-clicking on a piece of land (or on the map) with the mouse. The character either walks or runs to that piece of land, depending on the player's settings. Once the tutorial island is completed, the character is transported to one of Runescape's cities where the next step is up to the player. Players can choose between travelling the Runescape world for quests and items, or can work on increasing their character's skills. It is advisable that some effort is placed into increasing a character's combat skills as they may be attacked at some point by an NPC (non-player character).

Locations in the Runescape world include: Falador, Varrock, Draynor Village, Barbarian Village, Port Sarim, Port Khazzard, East and West Ardougne, Camelot Castle, Al Kharid, Dwarven Mine, and Crandor.
