Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is more than just a nostalgic MMORPG—it's a living, breathing sandbox where your journey is entirely your own. Whether you're a brand-new adventurer or a returning veteran, this complete beginner's guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from creating your account to stepping into raids and endgame challenges.
A Brief History of OSRS
RuneScape began in 1999 as a browser-based game called DeviousMUD, created by the Gower brothers. Over time, it evolved into RuneScape Classic, then RuneScape 2, and eventually RuneScape 3.
In 2013, Jagex released a preserved 2007 version of the game—now known as Old School RuneScape. What started as a nostalgic throwback quickly became a thriving MMORPG with weekly updates and one of the most dedicated player communities in gaming.
Since then, OSRS has expanded with:
The Grand Exchange (2015) – A player-driven trading hub
Ironman Modes (2014–2021) – Including Hardcore and Group Ironman
