This is the RuneScape world in its entirety, but with controls and interfaces that are tailored for mobile. That last one can’t be understated enough, as RuneScape is the first MMO that is coming to mobile without making any concessions like chopping out content or porting over PC controls. Now, that reasonably low barrier means that RuneScape is well-placed to be multi-platform, as shown by us coming to Steam in 2020 and mobile in 2021. In the early days, that meant people could play in libraries or quickly boot it up on a browser round a friend’s house. RuneScape doesn’t make high demands of the platform you play it on.

In today's market, what helps RuneScape differentiate itself the most?ĭave Osborne - The things that differentiated RuneScape 20 years ago are still doing a decent job of making us stand out today. With high-end subscription games like WoW and FFXIV continuing to go strong, buy-to-play games like Guild Wars 2 and ESO chugging away, and countless other free-to-play games across mobile, PC, and console, there are so many options for people. Jagneaux: The MMO space is more competitive now than ever. The game has a wonderfully evergreen design which encourages players to be good to one another and becomes meaningfully social with the community building genuine friendships, many of which have lasted as long as the game itself. We empower our players to have a say in the future of the game through our polls, social channels, surveys and more recently, collaborative design sessions over Zoom during lockdown conditions.

Alive and ever-evolving for 7,306 (count ’em) days, the game brings a world that is continually changing and gives our players new experiences and adventures all the time.

Matt Casey, Product Director: RuneScape is a living game. Players might come to RuneScape for the humorous tone, the lower specs needed to play, or because it’s on mobile, but I believe it’s the bond with the player character that has kept people playing for that crazy 20 years.

Your avatar becomes the trophy for everything you’ve done in RuneScape. There are few reasons to create a second account, as RuneScape doesn’t offer varying player classes, so every choice you make and every increment of progress is stacked on top of the character. Dave Osborne, Lead Designer: I would say it’s the relationship a player forms with their character.
