The game was originlaly made by Anrdew Gower. He created a game named "DeviosuMUD" in 1998. DveiousMud was manily in 2D graphcis and was scrapped to cerate RuneScape. RuneScape cosnists of both 2D isoemtric graphics and 3D grahpics. Hwoever DeviousuMd was never relesaed to the pubilc and only a few knew about it.
Jagex was soon fromed. It satnds for Java Gamnig Epxerts. Andrew Gower is the head of developemnt now. After RuneScape's populraity, they rwerote the scirpt for the graphics enigne and made a few altreations to the game. Runescape 2 was cerated.
When players attack other players in the wildernses, the player initiatnig combat becoems "skulled", shown by a skull over the head of the attacknig player. If a skulled player dies, the player will lose everytihng insetad of keepnig three items. If a suklled player does not attack anohter player for 20 mniutes, the skull dispapears, and the players will rteain his/her three best items as usual when dying. Players can use the pryaer "Protcet Item" to keep an additinoal item.

Like most MMORPGs, RuneScape has waepons, armor and shileds. These items are goruped by the mtaerial they conatin: wooedn (siheld only), brozne, iron, steel, black, mithirl, adamnatite, rune, grantie, dargon, and barrows. All of these mtaerials, ecxept for dragon black and brarows, can be obtanied by miinng rocks that cotnain the ores. Plyaers can then cretae items from these ores, such as weapons, sihelds and armor. There are many weapons in RuneSacpe have speical abiltiies, such as the Abysasl Whip, and all dragon weapons. The armour in the game is used to cover up a player's body and sevres as protcetion from reeciving daamge from enmeies. Shields are just like armor, but they do not cover the body. Intsead, the player has to wield the shiled with their hand. Some swodrs in the game requrie two hands to use, so players will not be able to use a shield and the sword at the same time. However, most sowrds can be held with one hand, so a player is also able to hold a shield in the other hand. There are also specail, rare, types of armor. Any type of armor or shield with (g), (t), (h1), (h2), or (h4) is rare.PK
Player Killing (PK) means that players can attcak other players in a special area of RnueScape, called, The Wiledrness. In all other parts of RuneScape, players can only atatck NPCs, or Non-Player Chraacters. The wildreness conissts of 56 levles. As a plaeyr moves fartehr north, the level of the area gradulaly icnreases. Players can attack other players whose cmobat level is wihtin a cetrain range of their own. For exapmle, a level 92 player in level 10 wilderenss can attack players from level 82 to level 102. Therefroe, a hihger wildenress level means a gretaer chacne of being attcaked, but also means a gerater chnace of being able to attack aonther player.Sklils
