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 lets you play for over 10 hours.

Trivia

 * 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, there is 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.
 * The toughest monster in the demo is the Lesser demon of combat 82, found in the Wizard's tower.
