Another form of activity Jagex warns of is against the game's terms of service are giveaways that re-roll "A Re-roll giveaway is an event where participants are invited to participate, usually for cost, to have the chance of winning some prize. After a certain number of participants have registered and the host has decided to select an unlucky winner out of the pool of entries," the studio explained. "After the winner is selected the viewers are occasionally encouraged to make the host a donation or tip, usually in the form real-world money - in order to roll the results of the "giveaway'. It can be repeated any number of times as well as a potential infinite number of replays."

"These kinds of giveaways are not permitted because they are in violation of the rules laid out under the Real World Trading section. The hosts of these kinds of giveaways will continue to face disciplinary action against them. Giveaways can only be accepted when they are managed with good intentions, with basic mechanics, and are accessible to all," the studio maintained.

One of the changes that are coming into RuneScape in the coming year will be the death mechanic that has been promised modification that will drastically cut down the costs of dying within the traditional MMORPG. Traditionally dying in Gielinor meant you lost everything you owned, with the exception of those that you were protected from dying. It was extremely frustrating and expensive, however it also helped to keep the economy stable and costs in the right place.

RuneScape is among the most long-running MMORPGs, with over nearly two decades of history behind it. And continues to attract gamers until the present day. Although I'm not sure there will be a lot of gamers who are new to the games by 2023. a lot of veterans continue to return to play the possibility of one of the first MMORPGs. I recently went back to my world of RuneScape to take a short nostalgic trip, and it was a great experience.
