Runescape Stat Changer Information
As of October 24, 2005, there are 6708 items, 2825 NPCs and 10096 objects (doors, etc) in RuneScape.
Version 1: Original started out as a one man project. Developer (Andrew Gower) started work on the original game in 1998. This version was very different to the RuneScape of today. It had Isometric graphics, and was originally titled 'DeviousMUD'. This version was never released to the public, and only a few people ever saw it.
Version 2: Developer scrapped version 1, and started work on a complete rewrite in 1999. Despite being a complete rewrite, this version was very similar to version 1, with the same graphics and name. This version was released as a public beta for only about 1 week, and then withdrawn again.
Burthorpe Games Room
The Burthorpe Games Room is located in the Basement of the castle in Buthorpe , one can choose from two classic games, with runes being used as game pieces. Runelink is similar to Connect 4 . Draughts is the British name for checkers. Jagex has confirmed that players will never be able to stake (bet) in-game items on these games, as it would lead to a new breed of cheating, and would detract from some of the skill of RuneScape.
Instead, they will leave the competitive nature of these games to a rating system, in which your score goes up if you win a game, and down if you lose. Jagex has also promised to add more games since the Buthorpe Games Room has proven sucessful.
