What is a RuneScape Marketplace?

A RuneScape marketplace is a place where players (split up into buyers and sellers) connect with each other, share offers, and transact, buying or selling game-related things related to skilling, gold farming, items, and accounts. Sellers create offers for what they are selling while buyers browse through the offers until they find what they are looking for. Once they have, they connect with the seller and complete their transaction.

Types of Things Players Trade in a RuneScape Store

Sellers create and price their offers themselves, meaning they are able to set any price, but in order to make sales some try to keep prices as low as possible. The main things that are sold and bought in the store are items, accounts, gold, and power leveling services.  

For items, prices for items are set based on their rarity, price in RuneScape gold, and depending on the item, viability and popularity, or in certain cases, both. Their obtainability is also a factor. Items that can no longer be obtained by regular means also usually have high prices.

As for accounts, they are priced differently. The factors that determine this are the following:

• The value in real-life money of items in account
• Skill levels, especially members-only skills
• Subscription status and length of subscription
• Real-life money equivalent of RuneScape gold in account

For RuneScape gold, this depends on the current in-game economy and prices set by other members of the RuneScape trading community.

Lastly, the price set for power leveling services is dependent on how long the service takes to complete and how difficult it is for the power leveler to do so.

Why RuneScape is a Success

RuneScape is one of the pioneers of MMORPGs as we know it. However, despite the age of the game, it is still one of the more unique titles in the genre. The world of Gielinor is not exactly the biggest lore-wise, nor is it the most detailed, but it more than makes up for it with its sandbox experience. Players can take on a wide variety of endeavors, visit all sorts of places, and finish quests. Through this, players discover the game’s rich lore one quest, one previously unexplored locale, and one new activity tried at a time.

Also, despite its age, RuneScape continues to evolve. Currently, the game is known as RuneScape 3. It’s still the same game – the number simply alludes to the large set of features and improvements introduced to the game back in 2013. This has given the game a much-needed update in all various aspects – graphics, audio, user experience, and many others.

Aside from its much content and sandbox approach to role-playing, what makes RuneScape shine is its community. Since many players have been playing for a long time, there is a sense of legacy and loyalty. At the same time, they are very welcoming to newer players, who in turn fit in just fine.
