Well firstly what is Runescape? Runescape fits into a gaming category called MMORPG which is an acronym for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The most distinguishing feature about Runescape is that there aren’t many online games like it. Runescape is a browser based game that is played for free by the majority of its players. It was created back in 2001 and was a relatively new entrant on the scene of MMO games. It has a fantasy setting like most other online MMO games that is adventure based with loads of quests to complete and skills to develop.

Well there aren’t a lot of online games like Runescape, but there sure are a lot of similar online RPG games out there in the market. Many of these games can be purchased from your local game stores or downloaded form the internet. They include titles like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest II, Lineage II, Final Fantasy XI, Maple Story and Silkroad Online are all a couple of good options. Though you should keep in mind many of these games aren’t like Runescape because they either charge a monthly fee to be played or aren’t browser based, rather need to be installed on your computer to be played.
