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! Check out the Steam DLC Bundles Membership Access offers featuring launch exclusive Steam cosmetic items and special rewards.

Issues with AMD GPU drivers that prevent the game from launching, been over a month and still the problem hasn't been fixed, there only solution is to roll back drivers to much older version from March which impacts performance in other games and security vulnerabilities.
Game is great, thousands of hours worth of content, hundreds of quests, 29 skills to level up, overall just a game to keep you occupied for a long, long time. Obviously the game is not perfect and has many aspects to improve on, but overall, not much to complain about. Community however is not so great, people always finding reasons to complain no matter what Jagex do. People complaining about membership costing too much were also first in line crying how MTX should be removed from the game and then acting surprised that the price did increase after removing a major income source. Those same people also somehow ignore the fact that you can just buy your membership through just... playing the game? Literally have to spend 0 of your own money if you put the time in to grinding it out.

MTX is gone (aside from stars, bonds, and membership), the roadmap into 2027, and our player count starting to rise again, things are really looking up for my childhood game. Maybe one day we will catch up to OSRS.
The game is excellent, New content is generally good, Jagex sucks,,,, seriously greedy, They are removing too many popular game features and raising subscription price by > 30%, Find something else to play before it's too late,
GREAT GAME!!! One of the OG's of MMORPG genre. Very rewarding game and the feeling of accomplishment cant beat it. They got rid of all the BS microtransactions that plague the game for so long. It is going back to it roots and pro-gamer(consumer) philosophy. I recommend this game for everyone!!!
its a great game
joguei 20 min e ja quero comer ração de cachorro
Wish it wasn't getting so expensive!
amazing game people who say bad things about it typically either never played it or played so much of it they ran out of things to do. My only complaint would be they need more events dungeons or bosses that require other players as most the game is beat solo and I find myself wanting more things to include working with my friends on. I only have like 5 hours on steam but I have played since old school runescape in 2006
