A number so staggering that it was noticed by Guinness World Records and given the title of largest free MMORPG in the world as well as the most updated one.

The World of RuneScape

RuneScape is set up in the world of Gielinor, it’s basically a medieval fantasy realm that’s divided into varying cities, regions and kingdoms. Players are able to travel through every place but only through certain methods like charter ships, on foot and spells. Each and every place features its own wonders, quests, resources, monsters and more; you can even challenge other players. Like other games, the players have their own customizable avatars. A unique feature with RuneScape is that they don’t follow the typical linear storyline but opt for the idea that players set their own goals.

Aside from the quest itself, players can also fight non-player characters like monsters and increase their experience alongside skills. Of course you can still talk to other players and socialise while trading, chatting and participating on any of the mini-games. A lot of these are combative or competitive, while others will require the players to collaborate with other players and parties. Because of the quests and opportunities presented in the game, it’s no wonder that the game would garner that much players.
