RuneScape 3 is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the medieval fantasy world of Gielinor. Players create characters and explore a vast open world divided into kingdoms, cities, and regions, engaging in over 25 skills ranging from combat disciplines to crafting, fishing, farming, and more. The game features a rich quest system with hundreds of quests spanning an interconnected narrative.
Originally launched as RuneScape in 2001 and substantially updated and rebranded as RuneScape 3 in 2013, the game introduced the HTML5-based NXT client, a fully orchestrated musical score, and the Evolution of Combat system. It operates on a free-to-play model with a members subscription unlocking the majority of content.
RuneScape 3 is known for its player-driven economy, deep skilling progression, and a mix of solo and group PvE content including God Wars Dungeon raids and Bossing. The game is actively developed by Jagex and receives regular updates, seasonal events, and new quests.
