Overview
RuneScape is a FREE MMORPG created by Jagex. It also has a membership for $5 per month that unlocks an outrageous amount of stuff to do and places to go. RuneScape is a Java based game that plays right 
in your browser window, with no installation required (Runs as a Java Applet). It currently has over 100,000 players almost all the time. It is one of the largest RPGs I have ever seen.
Quests
There are currently 18 quests for free players and 108 more quests for members. They range drastically in plot and most of them are pretty entertaining. For some of them, you may have to simply get a few items for a cook, to traveling through hours of dungeons. You will no doubt stay busy with quests for many years.
Skills
There are 15 skills free players can level up and members have an additional 8 skills. They, like the rest of the game are very vast, and range from the usual strength, attack, and defense to construction and farming.
Weapons and Armor
All of the weapons and armor, with a few exceptions are all well organized. Each type of metal contains the same types of weapon and armor. The types of weapons/armor are, in order from worst to best; wooden (shield only), bronze, iron, steel, black, mithril, adamant, rune, and dragon. There are also special weapons and armor for mages and rangers, which also are very broad.
Enemies
There are innumerable beasts and enemies in the game that you can kill. They range from spiders, to giants, to dragons. Unlike some games, you will never run out of enemies to kill, which makes training much more enjoyable and less of a waiting game. There are some enemies in the game that you cannot even take on by yourself, and you must fight it with multiple people. This can make it very exciting.
Servers
RuneScape has setup their servers right, unlike many games. They have 144 different servers that the time of this being published. They have multiple all over the world, so you will never have to worry about lag on the servers. You are also NOT limited to a character on a single server. This means if one is full, or if you want to meet up with someone on a different server, you can just logout and switch servers.
