Matt Casey, Product Director: RuneScape is a living game. Players might come to RuneScape for the humorous tone, the lower specs needed to play, or because it’s on mobile, but I believe it’s the bond with the player character that has kept people playing for that crazy 20 years. Your avatar becomes the trophy for everything you’ve done in RuneScape. There are few reasons to create a second account, as RuneScape doesn’t offer varying player classes, so every choice you make and every increment of progress is stacked on top of the character. Dave Osborne, Lead Designer: I would say it’s the relationship a player forms with their character.
