Instant Demo

The Instant Demo is a new game mode that was made to give people a chance to play on a smaller world with less quests, all without having to sign up. The feature was introduced on 29 March 2010 and was enlisted throughout RuneScape affiliate sites such as Miniclip. Once accessed, the instant demo is unlocked on the official RuneScape website. With the update on 21 April 2010 Instant Demo no longer needs to be "unlocked." Players get access to 9 quests and a restricted world; their progress is also saved to their computer, however, players do not have access to several main features including chat (needs age verification). During the tutorial the player is known as 'Adventurer'. However once in game, this changes to 'Player #' (Where # is changed to a random number). Instant Demo is played on World 901.The Instant Demo only offers about 10 hours of gameplay.

Quests


Players play Unstable Foundations as the tutorial quest and have the option to play 9 other quests:
 * The Blood Pact
 * Cook's Assistant
 * Demon Slayer
 * Ernest The Chicken
 * Restless Ghost
 * Romeo & Juliet
 * Rune Mysteries
 * Sheep Shearer

The maximum quest points available is 20.
 * Vampire Slayer -- cannot be completed.

Restrictions



 * Players are limited to 9 quests and the tutorial quest and cannot use the chat feature; they are restricted to quick chat only.
 * Players cannot use their friend, ignore and clan chat lists.
 * Only the starting area is available, and it is isolated from the real RuneScape world.
 * Players cannot take part in most holiday events. However, they could talk to any NPC and receive any holiday items, as long as it is possible in the starting area.
 * Players' skills are capped at level 20.
 * Players do not have the ability to write notes.
 * Players have only 34 bank slots.
 * The Grand Exchange is disabled.
 * The Wealth cap is set at 100,000 gp (100k), and as there is no Grand Exchange, It makes it very hard to achieve.
 * The 5,000 attack experience reward from Vampire Slayer is not obtainable due to the level cap.
 * Although the Lumbridge achievement diary can be started, only the beginner tasks can be completed.
 * Because Nurmof is outside of the starting area, and Perils of Ice Mountain is unavailable, only bronze pickaxes can be obtained and used.

Trivia

 * The maximum total level (there are no skillcapes) in the Demo version is 329.
 * If a random event occurs, a glitch may occur if the players fails the event, they may be teleported outside the starting area like a regular player. If the player tried to walk back in the starting area, they couldn't. The only way back is Lumbridge Home Teleport.
 * When Instant Demo was released, World 901 (the world used for Instant Demo) was an option on the World Selection screen. However, attempting to log onto it would give the player an error message. This has been fixed.
 * Interestingly, before 6 May 2010, there was no advert at the top of your screen in demo mode, even though there's even fewer features than F2P.
 * Chat effect and private chat can be toggled, but since only quick chat is allowed, they are useless.
 * An objective of over level 20 can be set, however it is impossible to achieve it.
 * When the player loses half of their lifepoints, the icon begins to flash red.
 * You can set an objective to 99, but it will not say "You will be the master of ~skill~ and will be able to wear the skillcape.", instead, it will say "Levelling your ~skill~ will let you ---."
 * The toughest monster in the demo is the Lesser demon of combat 82, found in the Wizard's tower.
 * The only way to raise Dungeoneering in the Demo version is with lamps, because Al-Kharid is unaccessable.


 * It is possible to get random events in the Demo version. These have already shown up:
 * Mime
 * Cap'n'Arrav
 * Frog Princess
 * Pinball
 * Lederhosen
 * Drunken dwarf(Walks around)
 * You can hear some NPCs talk with real voices.
 * Some people find this addition quite pointless because you can already play the Free Version with more access to Runescape.
 * On May 25, 2010, for a short period of time, the Instant Demo option was not available.
