Playing by Appointment reported on Apr 3, 2021
Some time limits on purchasing things from the player market, although they aren't inconvenient for most players, they're just for economic balance.

All player vs player activities are in specific areas that are clearly marked, although going to these areas can be required for some quests.

There are various leaderboards and temporary challenges where you can compete with people. There's also PvP combat.

You can spend money on Membership Bonds which you can then exchange for in-game currency on the player market.
Wait To Play reported on Apr 3, 2021
Only for a few mechanics like farming, and waiting for these things to progress doesn't stop you from doing anything else while you wait.
Waste Aversion reported on Apr 3, 2021
Buying a membership doubles the size of the player's bank from 400 stacks of items to 800 stacks of items. There are also members' items that allow for more efficiently carrying things in the inventory.
Invested / Endowed Value reported on Apr 3, 2021
The game encourages the player to put many hundreds of hours into the game and there are many things that take a long time to accomplish that a player might not want to do again.

Grinding is the main gameplay mechanic in Runescape.
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Apr 3, 2021
The game lets you join servers that are only for people of a certain combined level, segregating the population somewhat. There are also special items that can only be gotten by completing difficult challenges that can be equipped on your character, visually showing how much you've accomplished.
