James, my son and Runescape Master. Still learning some of the more basic skills, but with James' help I am able to experience some of the more difficult and dynamic parts of the game. Not surprisingly, this makes the game far more interesting. Here are a few example of some more advanced skills.

Interesting menu provided by Jagex in response to some negative press about Runescape. Specifically, that the game is addictive and promotes an unhealthy lifestyle.
Jagex offers these guidelines to help maintain a balanced life and get the most out of playing RuneScape:
Take a break from the computer.
Exercise at least once a week
Remember, it is just a game.
When eating, take a break from the computer.
Don't ignore your real life friends, meet up with them on a regular basis
Work and studies matters: don't let playing a game stop you from doing well in your studies or at work.
Remember parents that it is up to you to help your child maintain a healthy balance so that your child can benefit from all the educational and entertaining aspect of RuneScape.
Positive attributes of game according to McGowan, an online blogger
RuneScape's fictional world is very much like the real world. RuneScape has it's own currency allowing players to purchase anything they might need to live. Players can even chop wood, smith nails and weave cloth in order to build and maintain homes. Trading allows players to barter and make deals with each other inside the gaming community. With this trading the players can learn the structure of a working economic system. With learning the working of an economic system players can incorporate what they have learned into their everyday lives.
