The game runs on a tick-based system where the game state refreshes every 600 milliseconds. The input mechanics are primarily point-and-click. The artisan skills include skills such as Cooking, Crafting, Fletching and Smithing. The gathering skills, which include Mining, Fishing, and Woodcutting, allow the player to gather in game resources to use or sell. Combat skills, which are Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic, Prayer, and Hitpoints, allow the player to defeat enemy monsters or other players in certain circumstances. There is a large selection of skills, grouped mainly between three different categories: combat, gathering, and artisan. Users can gain experience points (XP) and level up individual skills, making their playable character more powerful in various ways. The player controls a single (human) character and can interact with NPCs, objects, and entities in the game world by left-clicking or right-clicking and selecting an option from the object's right-click context menu. The basic mechanics are largely the same as RuneScape on 10 August 2007. It features a persistent world in which players can interact with each other and the environment.
