About RuneScape®

RuneScape® poster

RuneScape invites you into the Sixth Age of Gielinor, a fantasy world rich with legend and lore that has been growing for close to two decades. Its people may be thriving, but the Elder Gods still scheme, the skies are darkening and war looms on the horizon. This long-running MMORPG lets you decide how to make your mark, whether you explore the world with friends or set out to earn fame and fortune as a lone adventurer, choosing the kind of hero you want to become.

The sheer breadth of activities is a defining feature. You might take on daring quests, quietly tend a farm, risk everything against a high-level boss, or spend an evening at the circus, and RuneScape is well suited as a second-screen game you can dip into as you please. With 270 million installations and cross-play across PC and mobile, it connects hundreds of millions of players who have wandered the mystical land of Gielinor over the years.

Characters and locations give the world its depth. You befriend, and sometimes clash with, a rich roster of memorable NPCs, from lovable companions and friendly rogues to deceitful villains and vengeful gods. Dozens upon dozens of distinctive places await, ranging from the medieval castles of Burthorpe and the tranquil harbours of Catherby to the barren, dangerous expanses of the Wilderness. For PC players seeking a deep and enduring fantasy MMO, RuneScape offers a world shaped by nineteen years of continuous growth.
