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.

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.
