What is 2009scape and how to play it?
It's an unofficial remake Open source and free of the 2009 version of RuneScape. RuneScape is an online video role-playing game that for several years was the most popular free MMORPG in the world 1. We quote Wikipedia regarding the story and setting:
RuneScape is located in the imaginary world shaped by the Guthix god, Gielinor, at the beginning of the First Age, and is composed of the kingdoms of Misthalin, Asgarnia, Kandarin and Morytania, the tropical island of Karamja, the Kharid desert and the Wilderness. Other important areas are the Feldip Hills to the south, inhabited by orcs, to the north the region called Troll Country, to the west the lands of the elves (Tirannwn), to the north-west the northern province of Fremennik which also includes various islands.
The continent of Gielinor, full of castles and towers of magic, is full of particular creatures that we read about in the fairy tales, troll, goblins, dragons, dwarfs, gnomes and other fantastic characters, to converse or fight with. The time period is a "fantastic Middle Ages", full of monsters and magic like any self-respecting fairy tale, to be experienced firsthand through your character, who acts in animation within each adventure.
The very name of RuneScape ("save the rune" or "escape the rune") gives a picture of a Nordic landscape (at least as a derivation, given that in the game we also find jungle And deserts). In fact, for the enchantment of the "magic stones" the "runes“, alphabetic/mystical/magical symbols belonging to the Eastern-Nordic populations and tradition Tolkienian and the Russian fairy tale of magic.
