Although a wonderfull game, Runescape has become so large and complex that it is getting harder to get around and play the game properly. This guide will show you how and why it is necessary to use a Runescape fansite in order to play it properly.

First of all, Runescape fansites are almost as old as the game itself. Since the release of the game of runescape in early 2001, runescape help sites have slowly started populating the web. So why did they become so popular?

The use of Runescape Fansites

Fansites originally started apearing because runescape had become such a complex game, with dozens of skills to train, hundreds of quests and thousands of items to collect that it needed to be documented somehow. If you have been an avid player of the game, you may know how hard it can be sometimes of doing quests.

Quests are long and painfull to do, and with the help of runescape help sites, it literelly saved people precious hours and days. Take the dragon slayer quest for example, a very long quest full of problems to solve answers to find, clues, etc. It would have took people weeks to do this quest without any help, but thanks to the emergence of fansites, it has rendered the gameplay of the game much easier aswell as accessible to younger people or people without much patience to the least.

So apart from quests, these sites can be helpfull with training spots for specific skills either combat or non-combat. For example, if you want to get started in the skill of runecrafting and would like to know how to get started, what to bring, how to get faster experience, etc, the easiest thing to do would be to search through a help site. For instance, I have found this runescape fansite to be helpfull and well made. Furthermore, the ones writing guides on these sites have expert advice, and it would be foolish not to check out their guides before investing any more time on the chores you do in runescape.

Conclusion

While Runescape fansites quickly grew in popularity, Jagex on the other hand was not that pleased about this phenomenon, probably because seeing it as competition. They have now switched gears though and realised that they could not controll or profit from those sites, and therefore would better encourage them to further spread the word about the game. As of today, the game of runescape has become so extensive that it would be hard to imagine playing without the extra help.
