Runescape World Map Information
Player vs Player combat
Players cannot normally fight with each other in most areas of the map. There are however three different areas where player vs player combat is allowed in RuneScape , each with different rules and properties.
The Wilderness
For a long time the only way to fight other players was to visit the Wilderness . The Wilderness is a large area of map located in northern RuneScape . The Wilderness has great rewards, but also great risks. The Wilderness is the most hostile of the PvP types available because players can be attacked unexpectedly and if killed, will lose all but their most valuable items. Exactly how many items kept when killed depends on a player's prayer settings and whether they have attacked another player recently. Killing another player in this area is referred to as PKing (Player Killing). As one gets deeper into the Wilderness they can fight with other players further and further away from their combat level which makes it more dangerous. Half of the wilderness only allows 1-on-1 battles, whilst the other half allows multi-way combat and potentially huge team based wars. it also has many items bringing people to prey on there.
Duelling Arena
The Duelling Arena is only available to subscribers. Located in the Al-Kharid desert it allows a more formal fight where the players can pre-agree the exact terms of combat, and what items will be gambled. It is possible to change a large number of settings to restrict exactly which items and combat styles are required, and players can choose either to duel for fun (in which case no items change hands), or to wager items which the winner will receive. Because of the option to limit the risk to a level of a player's choosing, this way of testing a player's combat prowess against other is popular with many players.
The known world of RuneScape, a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), is divided into two main landmasses to the east and west. They are connected by a strip of land to the north which forms a gulf between the landmasses. Many islands, both large and small, dot the gulf as well as the sea to the northwest.
Players with free accounts are limited to Al Kharid, the kingdoms of Asgarnia and Misthalin, and most of the northern wilderness in the east landmass, along with some islands in the gulf. The flora on most of the land suggest a generally temperate climate. A few of the islands are tropical, and Al Kharid and its surrounding areas are desert. The Wilderness' climate cannot be determined as the area has been devastated and made barren by volcanic activity. The only areas with a cold climate are those with high elevation in the north of RuneScape, Ice Mountain, White Wolf Mountain and the areas above the Troll Stronghold.
