Runescape

This is a picture that I took from a virtual world called Runescape. I'll start by telling you what a virtual world is. A virtual world is where you get to customize your own person called an avatar. There's nothing specific you have to do in a virtual world. It's just basically another life where you choose what you do just like in this life. The last important thing about them is people all over the world with Internet access can get on them. This means you can talk to one of your friends if they have an account and they're playing at the same time as you.
Runescape is a game where you get to design a person from the middle ages. You get to go around the Runescape world doing whatever you want. There are quests that you can do in it. For example, there's a quest called Dragon Slayer. If you want to get a certain strong type of armor for your avatar, you can do this quest so that you are able to buy the armor and wear it. There are people called members. If you pay $5 a month than you can become one. Even though non-members (most people) have plenty of things to do in Runescape, a member can access different places in the Runescape world. They also have over 100 more quests that they're able to finish and thousands of more items that they're able to buy. You also have levels in Runescape. Your combat level is how strong you are. You can get this higher by fighting a lot. They also have lots of other levels like woodcutting (this is what I'm practicing in the picture) If you get your woodcutting level to certain points, you can use better axes and chop down better trees. There are a lot more things that I can talk about about Runescape but I've explained enough. Other virtual worlds are: Club penguin, There, and Second life. None of them are the same. I'm finished describing everything now.
The End
