Every month or two I'd decide RuneScape gold was time to start a new account, motivated by a few specialist build I'd seen or an inexplicable urge to live a simple life and become some sort of fabled hermit. Honestly, 12-year-old me thought that would be a fun thing to do.
Logging into Runescape is like coming home to discover your parents have gotten a brand new dog without telling you, and they absolutely refuse to state exactly what happened to your beloved Brassica Prime. At first you might sulk and long to get your dog that was, but soon enough you start to notice that the new dog is gorgeous when compared with its haggard predecessor. It does all kinds of new tricks, it has character and charm, heaps of endgame content and doesn't need to be fed or walked often.
Where Runescape used to involve offering up one's hands , or days, of grinding for piecemeal progress, today it hands out level increases cheap RS gold with a regularity that's difficult to stomach if you can remember sinking 20 hours of constant play into acquiring just half the XP you want to level up.
Out of blind habit, I invest my first hours mining ore, killing cows, burying bones, chopping wood and light fires. Happy with my progress, I place an additional eight hours into boosting my abilities. At this point my overall impression is that Runescape has only gotten wider and easier, which would not be enough to drag me back to its F2P clutches.
