RuneScape is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game by British developer Jagex Limited, programmed in Java. With nearly nine million active free players and 800,000 paying members,[1] RuneScape is one of the top online games in the world.[2] RuneScape was launched on 4 January 2001 and offers both free and subscription content. RuneScape is designed to be accessible from any location with an internet connection and to run in an ordinary web browser without straining system resources.

RuneScape takes place in the imaginary realm of Gielinor, which is divided into the Kingdoms of Misthalin, Asgarnia, and Kandarin, as well as the tropical island of Karamja, the Kharidian Desert, and the Wilderness, among others.[3] Movement throughout RuneScape utilizes three methods: foot travel, vehicle assisted travel and magical teleportation. Each region offers different types of monsters, materials, and quests.

Players, shown on the screen as customisable avatars, can see and interact with each other. They set their own goals and objectives, deciding which of the available activities to pursue as there is no linear path that must be followed. Players may engage in combat with other players or with monsters, complete quests, increase their experience in the available skills, or have a simple conversation with other players.[4] Players interact with each other through chatting, trading, participating in mutual missions, and playing combative or co-operative mini-games
