One thing that I notice between RuneScape, in general, vs other mobile game apps is the combat system. It's not uncommon that other apps require mtx if you want to protect your stuff from higher level players. For example, a level 27 clan/person/group can attack you, a level 10 and claim all your resources, unless you spend $50 for a shield to protect you whilst you're away.

Here there's what? You need to be within 7 levels? Wildy levels too, and you can always run away from the varrock druids/guards when you tele to the Varrock loadstone.

Then there's the time limits ( semi like afking, but more like farming growth / Player owned ports ) where you need to wait before you can come back and do anything... and hope you weren't attacked in the meantime... unless you purchase their $100 mtx to do things instantly. In Rs, you can play ( grind ), and come back when you're ready, without fear of you losing your bank.

Anything else I'm missing?


UPDATE: I'm thinking for new players here. Some of the advantages to Rs over other apps. Also, the combat page on the site should read something about "being safe" whilst you're logged out.

RuneScape's mobile gameplay is bound to be different from other mobile games, because it wasn't designed to be a mobile game in the first place. Mobile games are stereotypically money-grabbing and excessively pay-to-win. While RS may seem P2W to some, it's not anywhere close to the common practices of mobile games. RS3's monetization model is more similar to the standard computer MMO model, which makes perfect sense as it is primarily a desktop game. When comparing mobile games to RS, we're looking at completely different business models and would have better luck finding similarities between apples and oranges, than we would by comparing RS3 to mobile games. @Lisaa_RS - Followed by @Runescape
