I never want to discover exactly how much of my life has been spent grinding for experience points.
I don’t talk to Hans.
I’ve long accepted that RuneScape is more of a life choice rather than a video game.
At a passing glance, Brighter Shores looks awfully similar to RuneScape.
So I was curious to see exactly how reminiscent this new MMO was.
Will it be a collection of useful resources or a bloodthirsty creature?
Instead, it can be an XP grind all the way down.
Just unlocked a new eel breed?
Well, it’s time to visit Eel Street Bridge again.
(Yes, that is its name.
Hopeport citizens say it like it is.)
Likewise with the Woodcutter, which provides the resources you better train as a Carpenter.
This interconnectivity prevents each skill from feeling like a standalone activity.
If you’re training one, then you’re most likely going to end up training another.
Really, we’re just missing Firemaking and then we’d have the complete set.
That’s not to say thateveryProfession in Brighter Shores is simply a reworked RuneScape skill.
There are new creations here, too.
Instead, the main thing Brighter Shores uses to try liven up its combat is its Faction system.
The latter are incredibly useful, as they allow you to earn XP when logged out of Brighter Shores.
And let’s not forget about your inventory limit either.
Yes, that’s an increase of over 9,000.
Either way, passive training is a brilliant addition in my books.
