"But I think the thing you said about Skills being varied in RuneScape is something I've definitely thought about before. So many games force you to specialise in a particular set of skills like a profession, and your character isn't free to grow any way you see fit. Often there are also branching skill trees for combat skills, meaning you always feel you're missing out on particular parts of gameplay because of the choices you make. That's why I really love RuneScape - it's unique in terms of being the most open, free-to-experiment character-driven game out there. And in that respect, that core value as never changed, not from day 1."
I agree about this for game play content but not for character customization - looks of a character.
There is not much customizations for a characters looks unless you have real world money. Also, many new items are released through SOF rather than game content which also limits chaacter customization.
A player used to have access to everything in the game but now a player needs to have real life money to purchase more content.
As time continues, the more limited I personally feel in the game. Example: hearts & the rewards they give, all of solo store.
Add more items to the game and not to SOF/SOLO.
Example: Slayer helms, Warbands armour - would have been perfect rewards for game content.
