Gameplay

When players sign up for an account they start the game on Tutorial Island. This island takes roughly a half an hour to complete. On this island the new players will be taught how to use the controls of the game, by simple live walkthrough examples. After completing the tutorial, players will then be able to go the main land of Runescape, and begin real game play with the thousands of other in game players.

RuneScape has many sound effects, and the in game music, often changes with the user reaches new game areas. This music is meant to enhance mood and gameplay for the players. Players can of course decide to control the volume of the music or can disable all sound if they want to, via the in game control panel provided.
