About RuneScape
RuneScape is one of the longest-running and most iconic MMORPGs in gaming history, live since 2001 and still growing. Set in the fantasy kingdom of Gielinor, it lets you play through official desktop and mobile clients, with no monthly fee required to explore the free-to-play areas. What makes RuneScape special is its skill system — over 25 skills from mining and woodcutting to herblore and dungeoneering can be trained to level 99, and almost everything you do grants experience. The game has two official versions: modern RuneScape with updated graphics, and Old School RuneScape, a separately maintained version based on the 2007-era game — and both are thriving. Quests are famously well written, often with real puzzles and choices rather than simple fetch tasks. Whether you want to fight bosses, trade on the Grand Exchange, or just chop trees while chatting, Gielinor has a place for you.
