RuneScape is eleven days into its May roadtrip, and the hardcore among you are no doubt already finished and reaping the benefits. As has become a tradition, the month of May means the RuneScape Road Trip. Players are given a booklet with a set of 20 tasks that can be completed once per day, with the option to gather chits from employee events to skip an extra task once per day. Since today is the eleventh, it is possible that people are already done with the event.
Long term events have always been a point of contention among MMO players, between those on the casual side that may be unable to log in more than a couple days a week, and the content locusts who will quickly gobble up a month’s worth of content in a couple of days, including their four alt accounts. Jagex generally makes attempts on longer-term content by including methods to accommodate both groups.
