RuneScape is a Java-based MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing
Game) operated by Jagex Ltd. It has approximately fifteen million active free accounts and is a browser-based game with some degree of 3D rendering.
Runescape also has over 136 million accounts created.
RuneScape was created by Andrew Gower, the creator of DeviousMUD, the forerunner to RuneScape, in 1998. Rewritten and renamed, the first version of RuneScape was released to the public on 4 January 2001 in beta form. It has a free-to-play option, and a simple interface that is accessible on most web browsers.
RuneScape takes place in the fantasy-themed realm of Gielinor, which is divided into several different kingdoms, regions, and cities. Players can travel throughout Gielinor on foot, by using magical teleportation spells and devices, or mechanical means of transportation.Each region offers different types of monsters, materials, and quests to challenge players. Unlike many other MMORPGs, there is no linear path that must be followed. Players appear on the screen as customizable avatars, setting their own goals and objectives. Players can combat both monsters and other players, complete quests, or increase their experience in any of the available skills.Players interact with each other through trading, chatting, or playing combative or cooperative mini-games.
