So, I've gotten into another game. This one is called RuneScape. It is played in a browser with Java enabled. That means it will run on just about any machine. It has some pretty low requirements hardware wise. So it works on my older linux boxes.
RuneScape is a MMORPG. I have been playing on server #38 for a couple days now. Which usually has about 350-900 people on at any given time.
This game is very mud like. You can make money by going around killing or through trade. I've been working on my fishing skills. I'm at level 24 on fishing.
One of the things I like about it is that it is classless. That is you don't pick a character who is a mage or warrior or whatever. Instead it is skills based. If you want to be a better fighter then go practice fighting, a mage then practice magic.
There is a free version and a pay version. The free version is the same as the pay except you are limited to only about 1/3 of the total map of the world and certain quests are available only for members. The membership is only $5 a month so not too bad.
