RuneScape

Playable

Jagex's long-running fantasy MMORPG built around open-ended, classless skill progression rather than a fixed character class. Players can train dozens of combat and non-combat skills, gather and craft resources, trade through a large player economy, farm, build and customize player-owned housing, quest and pursue goals in almost any order.
