About this game

First released on January 4, 2001 as a Java browser game, this fantasy online role playing game was created by Andrew Gower with help from his brother Paul. It is set in Gielinor, a medieval fantasy world where you play a customizable avatar and take on open ended activities: questing, combat, skill training, trading, socializing, minigames and cooperative play. Progress runs through skills that gain experience from gathering resources, crafting, fighting, cooking or quest rewards, and higher levels unlock resources, equipment, abilities and areas. Some skills are open to free players and others need membership. With no set path, you can still pick any skill and start today.
