Visually, it is among the most striking configurations in the game, a total breath of RuneScape gold fresh air that is distinct from even the major desert configurations such as Al Kharid, Nardah, and Pollnivneach.
It's also among the greatest updates since Jagex switched Runescape out of a browser-based game to NXT, the downloadable client that launched in 2016. Menaphos is something of a reveal in terms of what is possible with the new client: the Golden City is stunning. Volumetric light and new water effects lend Menaphos a utopian feel.

Since the advent of Old School Runescape, Runescape has focussed on delivering a single-player RPG encounter towards rivalling those provided by Bioware or Bethesda, with an emphasis on questing and Royal progression. Menaphos embraces that mentality wholeheartedly, with buy old school rs gold skilling built into each road and district in town, as well the Shifting Tombs mini-game and Sophanem Slayer dungeon for non-combat and battle skilling respectively.
