RuneScape is Jagex's long-running fantasy MMORPG, first launched as a browser game in 2001. The current game is its third major version, released in 2013 and set in the world of Gielinor; it reached Steam in 2020 and phones in 2021.
Progress comes through skills rather than classes: you level whatever you practise, from fishing and smithing to farming and combat, and higher levels unlock new materials and gear. Combat covers melee, magic, ranged and necromancy, and players trade through the Grand Exchange. Some skills are free, the rest need a membership.
It suits players who enjoy slow, steady skilling and a game that runs well in the background. Newcomers face a steep learning curve, because more than two decades of systems have piled up. There is no Russian localisation.
