''[[RuneScape]]'' is a browser-based [[Medieval European Fantasy]] [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] by the UK-based developer [[Jagex Ltd]] that runs on a [[Freemium]] subscription model. The free version of the game is self-contained and can be played on its own, but subscribers gain access to separate Member servers (marketed as an [[Expansion Pack]]) with more content in exchange for a monthly fee. The game holds the official Guinness world record for largest free MMORPG.
 
Gameplay primarily involves quests, combat (both [[Player Versus Player]] and [[Player Versus Environment]]), and, the [[Necessary Weasel]] of the genre, [[Level Grinding]], along with a variety of side activities like [[Capture the Flag]]. ''RuneScape'' is somewhat uncommon among MMORPGs in that its quests are more elaborate than your basic [[Twenty Bear Asses]] [[Fetch Quest|Fetch Quests]], instead focusing more on plot, puzzles, problem-solving, and [[Boss Battle|Boss Battles]]. New content, usually (but not always) members-only, is released on a weekly basis.
Line 136:
* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Zanik. Chosen by the gods and raised from the dead to {{spoiler|become a brainwashed slave-general of the war-god Bandos}}.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Bandos is the "Big High War God" who teaches that fighting is the highest calling of all, and his followers are almost universally aggressive and love battle. He has specifically bred entire RACES for war.
* [[Post MortemBond One -Liner]]: Thok delivers one after each boss.
* [[Bonsai Forest]]: The soil quality in Gielinor clearly isn't the best out there. Some graphics updates made the trees more reasonably sized, but many are still pretty small.
* [[Boogie Knights]]: The dancing knights in the Party Room.
Line 613 ⟶ 614:
* [[Port Town]]: Several of them: Phasmatys, Port Sarim, Rellekka, etc.
* [[Portal Cut]]: This is the fate of one of the boss creatures in Dungeoneering. The boss, simply called Stomp, is a large worm-like creature coming through a portal that calls down rocks during the fight. After the portal gets weakened several times, at the end of the fight the portal snaps shut, resulting in a surprisingly graphic death -- the wall where the portal was gets rather bloodstained, and the monster essentially thrashes itself to death.
* [[Post Mortem One Liner]]: Thok delivers one after each boss.
* [[Post-Modern Magik]]: A rare example: the Lumbridge Cook's magic cooking range.
{{quote|'''Cook''': It's called the Cook-o-Matic 25, and it uses a combination of state-of-the-art temperature regulation and magic.}}
