The game is popular for a number of reasons, not least of which is that players can chat with each other in a way viewed by everyone in the immediate game area, or privately to selected friends. Control of one's character in the game is mostly done by mouse, including character movement in the game world, purchasing items, selling, picking up or dropping items and changing a character's attire. The graphics interface is intuitive to most players.

==Membership==
RuneScape has two types of players, free and members. Membership costs $5.95 (US) and has many advantages. With membership, you get more quests, more abilities/skills, more monsters to battle, more minigames, more items, and more locations to go to. In the past year, the price for membership went up from $5.00 (US) to $5.95 (US). <ref>[http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1324 ''Two More Weeks of RuneScape at Lower Price!'' ]</ref> RuneScape now offers a "membership" card in stores if you cannot use a credit card to purchase online.
