RuneScape: Higher Definition, More Buildings, More Features

I wrote a post about RuneScape last year ("Another Entertaining Time-Waster " (November 1, 2007)). The massive online adventure game is still around. It still lets players have their characters learn to fish, cook, chop wood, and several other skills: as well as the usual hack-and-slash.

RuneScape made a massive upgrade available to the public this week. The graphics are greatly improved: mostly a matter of higher definition, as they've pointed out, with a few added features. There's now something called an Achievement Diary, to help players keep track of what their characters have been up to.

Lumbridge, the town that each character starts out in, has a few new buildings, some old ones that have been moved, and a few new citizens.

RuneScape is fun. And, as I cautioned before, "I recommend that you set an alarm clock before you start playing."
