RuneScape

RuneScape is a fantasy MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) boasting a vast and vibrant world called Gielinor. Players choose from various character races, train skills, complete quests, battle monsters, and interact with thousands of other players online.
 

What’s the Goal of RuneScape?

RuneScape doesn’t have a single, rigid goal. The beauty lies in its open-ended nature. You can set your own objectives:
 
Become a master skiller: Train your character in various skills like mining, crafting, or combat.
Embark on epic quests: Unravel the lore of Gielinor through hundreds of story-driven quests.
Conquer challenging bosses: Test your combat skills against formidable foes.
Build your wealth: Earn coins (RuneScape’s currency) through various means and trade with other players.
 

How to Play RuneScape?

RuneScape offers two main experiences:
 
RuneScape 3 (RS3): The main version with high-quality graphics, featuring a vast world, regular updates, and a plethora of content.
Old School RuneScape (OSRS): A version replicating the classic 2007 experience with a nostalgic feel and a dedicated community.
 

Where to Play RuneScape?

You can play RuneScape on PC (Windows, Mac, Linux) through the downloadable client or directly in your browser on the official website.
 

What’s RuneScape Gold (OSRS)?

RuneScape Gold (OSRS) refers to the in-game currency used in Old School RuneScape. Players can earn it through various activities or buy it from other players (against the game’s rules).

RuneScape Private Servers

Private servers are unofficial versions of RuneScape hosted independently. Jagex (the game’s developer) doesn’t endorse them, and they may have security risks. It’s generally recommended to stick to the official game.
 

RuneScape Membership

A membership unlocks a wealth of additional content and benefits in both RS3 and OSRS, including new areas, quests, skills, and faster experience gain.
 

Old School RuneScape (OSRS)

As mentioned earlier, OSRS is a separate version offering a more classic RuneScape experience with the graphics and gameplay of 2007. It has a devoted player base and a focus on community-driven updates.
 

RuneScape Full World Map

Finding a full world map for RuneScape can be tricky as the world is vast and constantly expanding. However, the official RuneScape Wiki offers detailed maps of most areas.
