They removed free trade to stop new players

[Rshop2018]

Old School Runescape might just have about 25,000 players at any given instant - hardly a scratch on the amounts it used to reach in 2006 - but its players have understood the game for ages. They've decade-old friendships , they know the best way to hang out, the way to interact and virtually every talking point the match and its storied history has ever produced. Conversely, lots of the inhabitants of Runescape, myself included, are returning players or total newcomers. They ramble past each other without commenting, do not all converge in the very same spots for no reason or attend pretend parties in empty attics... they simply get on with enjoying the match.

Runescape is best experienced as a never-ending RPG. You will find online adventures to be had there, but the ones I played were structured and curated than anything else in Old School Runescape. My memories of Runescape in 2006 completely revolve around interacting with other individuals. I had been duped or lured into PvP zones and murdered almost daily since I was promised some gift from a top level player, but as frequently as gamers exploited my ignorance that there were also countless times they provided to help me, taking me under their wing into analyzing boss battles or giving me free equipment.

Jagex spent trying to smooth out the rough edges of Runescape's online interactions to assist noobs like me. They made the enormous, sprawling Stronghold of Security and stuffed it with unique rewards just to educate players about online safety, they removed free trade to stop new players getting duped into unfair prices, and made it so players can only lose a little bit of loot upon perishing at the Wilderness.

The current version of Runescape was essentially made for me. But while I liked spending a few days bumbling around its own world and revelling in its clear familiarity, it's done nothing to satisfy the Runescape craving that brought me there in the first location.A return to classic PC game Runescape Following 11 years

I recently decided to take a trip on to Runescape's site and log into the game to find out what has changed. Now the game utilizes Java and C++ and has received many upgrades in the 11 years of my absence.
