Classic MMORPG RuneScape finally launches on iOS and Android

RuneScape, one of the world's most popular MMORPGs, is finally making its debut on mobile after 1.8 million players pre-register it, developer Jagex announced. Although the game is available as a free download from the App Store and the Google Play Store, expect some pretty brutal in-app purchases and a $10 monthly membership if you want to access additional content.

Thankfully, new players will get a free 7-day trial that will allow them to experience RuneScape membership benefits that consist of 8 additional skills, over 120 extra quests, and access to the entire world map. More importantly, RuneScape features cross-platform play, so players who subscribe as a member on mobile can also play the full members' game on the desktop version and vice-versa.

Set in an online world of medieval fantasy, RuneScape encourages players to choose their own path through a compelling quest system, and progress through 28 diverse skills to shape a single character in a classless world.
