Online RPG Games Like Runescape

It would seem almost a daily ritual for me to explain to players that have sent me emails that I don’t unfortunately have the ability to give them their banned Runescape accounts back nor am I able to change their forgotten Runescape passwords. These emails mainly come from a couple of the other more popular websites like Runescape Boards and Runescape 100 that I run. Sometimes inbetween the abusive responses you receive after you inform them you can’t help I’m asked if I know of any other games like Runescape considering they have been banned from Runescape.

The short answer is “yes” there are other games like Runescape, but there aren’t many that are exactly like Runescape. That is why it is so popular. I have actually written an article on Runescape 100 about online games like Runescape before. This article explains how Runescape has a few defining characteristics that separate it from other major MMORPGs.

Some of the key differences between Runescape and other popular online rpg games are that most online games like Runescape require you to download and install a base version of the game or buy a CD from a gaming store. Where as Runescape is completely browser based and dosen’t require its gamers to install the game first. Runescape, unlike many other online games, also has a free version of their game. Many of the bigger MMORPG titles like World of Warcraft don’t offer a free version. Also with the exception of World of Warcraft there really aren’t any other MMORPGs that are similar in gameplay and have the number of player playing it.

So with that said if you are looking for a fairly similar rpg game like Runescape and are willing to pay a monthly membership fee, World of Warcraft is probably a good option along with some of the other major MMORPG titles - Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest II, Lineage II and Final Fantasy XI. If you are not looking for an online game that is not similar to Runescape in gameplay style but is free and popular you could check out a few major titles listed in this Most Popular MMORPG list or check out some of the MMORPGs like Maple Story and Silkroad Online.

If you know any other pay to play or free online games like Runescape please feel free to mention them in the comments below.
