Runescape is an
online game. You can play with others, or turn off all chats and just play
alone. It is more fun to play with others, because you make friends (that
you can at least talk to) and get directions and help from, but sometimes people will
not exactly be very nice. In any case, this is a role-playing/adventure
game, much like Final Fantasy (at least from what I've heard of Final Fantasy)
with some fighting and magic, but there is less violent concepts to the game as
well. Mining, Smithing, and Crafting are just a few of the many other
skills you use.
To get started on Runescape, go to
www.runescape.com and click on the red
button labeled Create a new account. Read the rules etc. and
then agree to move on. Now you have to come up with a username and
password. The only limit to usernames is that they can be no more than 12
characters (spaces, numbers, letters, etc.) and it cannot be a name already in
use. If you find that the name that you want is taken, put random numbers
on the beginning, middle, and/or end of the name to get the name you want.
Choose a password that you want (it can be no more than 20 characters).
This password must be something that you can remember, but also that is not too
easy to guess. For example, if your screen name is Obiwan333, don't
make your password star wars, or obi-wan, because everyone will guess that
easily.
The next step is to create your
character. You can choose different hair and clothes styles, your gender,
and colors for your outfits and hair. Remember that later in the game it
is possible to change your hair style and color. Although it is for a
price (2000 gp, or gold pounds, which is the currency) which is fairly expensive
early in the game, sometimes the creators of Runescape will set it so hair cuts
are completely free. I waited until then to change my hair, so that would
be wise unless you're rich. Anyways, once you have chosen everything about
yourself, you go onto tutorial island (by the way, I don't think you can go
back, so do anything you want to do there when you first start the game).
The tutorial is pretty easy, and leads you through the basic skills, such as
cooking, fishing, and magic. Once you finish, you go to the mainland, by
Lumbridge Castle. Get used to this place; you come here every time you
die, and it happens, no matter if you're level 10 or level 100.
Now, for the real tutorial.
