Runescape: The First 20 Years--An Illustrated History



In 2001, RuneScape transformed the world of MMORPGs with a magical world that was free-to-play in your browser.

Now you can get an insider's look at the tremendous talent and enormous effort that went into creating the land of Gielinor and the magical races who inhabit it.
