RUNESCAPE!!!!!
Today's post is a 'special' post. This means: a 2+ part post. What's more, is I have two pictures and two videos. If you don't know by now, This will be about RuneScape. I've done one before, but it had only a little information. You pronounce RuneScape like Rune and Scape. Not Run and Escape, not Runes and Cape. You will figure out what a rune is later on. First, we'll look at the pictures. The first one is part of the world map. This is a super teeny, tiny eensy weensy part of the whole world map. To see more of the map, watch the second video. To look at the map yourself, click here and go to the left side of the screen and scroll down the links until you find the one that says 'world map'. You can also create an account there too. The second picture is a screenshot of me playing RuneScape. The bottom part is the chat box. The large part of the chat box is where the game informs you about things and you can see what other players (including you) say. The bottom part is where you can see what you're typing. Whenever people talk, it shows in the chat box and above their heads for a few seconds. What they say stays in the chat box. If you type something like: Hello and press enter, hello appears above your head and in the chat box with your name next to it. You can also do things like say: red:hello or wave:hello or scroll2:hello or cyan:hello and other things like that and it does whatever effect you chose to make what you type more noticeable. The part on the right of the screen is where you choose your options and everything else in the game. The icons around the edges show different things you can do. The yellow smiley face is you friends chat box. If you click on this, and one of your friends is online, you can click on their name and type what you want to say to them wherever they are. The messages that you send back and forth appear in your chat box as brown writing instead of the usual yellow. The red frown face is your ignore list. If you put someone you don't like here, they can't send any messages to you even if you're on their friends list. The third one is clan chat. You can create your own clan, name it, decide what rank everyone is in, and also decide who can come in and kick people out. You can join other clans too. Whenever I talk to my friends, I talk to them in clan chat instead of having to click on their name every time you want to send a message to them. In clan chat, if you type: /hello, it will send the message after the / to everyone in the chat. These words appear brown too, but with the clan name and who it's from next to it. The next one is settings. Every time you right click on something in the game, it shows a whole bunch of things you can do to interact with it like: Walk here, trade with ---, talk to, attack, pick up, and a whole bunch of other things depending on what you right click on. One of the settings lets you make it so that when you click on something, it automatically shows the right click list so that you don't have to bother with the right mouse button. Another option is when you turn it on, whenever your friends talk to you, it appears in blue writing above the chat box. The one that I use the most is the run option. Each person has 100 run energy. Whenever you run, it uses this up. When it reaches 0, you stop running and you have to wait for a while before your energy goes up again. The next one is emotes. When you click on this, it shows a list of a whole bunch of emotions that you can do like: jump for joy, raspberry, scared, angry, shake fist, flap arms, and lots of others. You unlock more by doing quests (I'll get to those later.) and other things. The next one is music. There are over 500 music tracks in the entire game and you have to unlock all of them (And you get an extra emote when you do.). Every new place you go unlocks a new music track. You can tell you've been everywhere when you've unlocked all of them. You can only listen to the ones that you've unlocked. (I can play a few on my electric piano.) The next one is a picture of a book. (This is where I get to runes.) This shows all your magic spells. The first one is called Lumbridge teleport. This resets every 30 minutes and is the only spell that doesn't need runes. Runes are basically magic stones that you need to cast spells. There are lots of kinds like: earth fire air water chaos mind blood lava and lots of others. You need certain amounts of each to cast each one. Some are teleports, some are enchants, some are attacks. There are also staffs. The staffs can be lots of types including: lava (for members.(Members have to pay $5 a month and get lots of extra things and nonmembers can play for free.)) Fire earth and water. Whenever you wield these, you get unlimited of the type of rune the staff is based on. That's all I'll explain for today. Tomorrow I'll explain the rest and a lot more and the next day I'll explain a lot more, and the next and the next.
