About

Journey into the Sixth Age of Gielinor and discover a fantasy world deep with legend and lore. Gielinor's people may be thriving, but the Elder Gods still scheme. The clouds are darkening and war looms. Experience a fantasy online world 19 years in the making.

It's up to you. Will you explore the world with friends, or seek your fame and fortune as a lone adventurer? Whether you’re engaged in daring quests, quietly tending to your farm, risking it all against a high-level boss or spending a night at the circus, RuneScape is the perfect second-screen game. Play how you want – the choice is yours. What type of hero will you be?

With a world that’s been growing for an incredible 19 years, RuneScape continues to thrill players with an adventure unlike any other. With 270 million installations and cross-playability on PC and mobile, join the hundreds of millions of people who have explored the fantastic and mystical world of Gielinor.

Make friends – and maybe sometimes enemies – with a rich roster of memorable NPC characters. From lovable companions and friendly rogues, to deceitful villains and vengeful gods, the many faces of Gielinor offer a deep fantasy experience unlike anything else.

Visit dozens and dozens of unique and striking locations, from the medieval castles of Burthorpe and the tranquil harbours of Catherby, to the dangerous barren expanses of the Wilderness or the tropical reaches of Anachronia. Own your own port! Run your own farm! Make a pretty penny trading with players at The Grand Exchange, and keep your exotic wares safe in the Bank.

With 29 skills to master, what will you become? Will you be one with nature by perfecting Woodcutting, Fishing, Herblore and Cooking? Or would you prefer to be more creative with Crafting, Farming, Smithing and Construction? Or perhaps your tastes lay elsewhere – with Hunting, Divination, Invention or Runecrafting? Or maybe your soul yearns action, and you’ll take to Magic, Summoning, Slayer and Dungeoneering!

Do you want to get up close and personal with a sharp blade in your hand? Or will you take a tactical approach and attack from range? Or perhaps your skills are more mystical, and you prefer the arena of magic? Fight a dazzling assortment of foes including an unimaginable array of epic bosses. From demons to dragons and rock monsters to serpents, nightmares beyond your wildest imagination lay in wait.

RuneScape can be played free, but also offers optional membership that unlocks even more thrilling content, including 8 additional skills, over 120 extra quests and access to the entire game world map!

its good for less then half the content. up to lvl 65 of crafting or skills is the limit. and even half the content in between that. after that is members only. monthly subscription. so if you aren't going to worry about the members stuff, better to play old school runescape. There is a large amount of content thought so you will def have centuries of grinding if you like that thing.
i went afk in the launcher for an hour for a discord quest i will not be playing this game

Doesn't work with AMD Gpu's, crashes al the time.
This game has changed alot since it's release in 2013. Many updates since then. I didn't like it that much when I played at release, and even a few years later. But gave it another chance in 2026 and got into it alot more. Highly recommend giving it another chance if you haven't played it for a while, or ever tried it. Runescape is a game filled with content and activites to do, different monsters and enemies to come across, and quests to figure out and complete. There are 29 skills to level, that go from 1-99, and some go even to 120 for "true mastery." Leveling these is the main progress of the game imo, pretty much many lifeskills with tons of unlockables and combat skills. A plethora of quests to discover, with text dialogue and stories of their own. The game is free to play, can experience a great amount to get started in the game, but paying for a membership opens up the rest of the world and content to experience. I wont go into more details since most people have heard of runescape I would think. But again, if you've never played it or are wanting to try an updated version of old school I highly reccomend giving this a chance.

Number go up, dopamine go brrrrrrr!
something about helping the runes escape
Is it still more profitable to mine for gold than to get a job?
One of the few MMORPGS left with active playerbase. Constant updates but feel like they should work on making the game more accessible for new players. Hard to get into, Hard to leave.
