Runescape Website for fans is now launched at RSGoldHub.com

RuneScape is an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), similar to Guild Wars and Everquest. The object of the game is to operate in a three-dimensional online "world" by taking the persona of a character, represented visually by a customisable avatar, and developing various abilities. Players may do a variety of quests, "level up" by developing skills, make new friends, interact with them via chat, trading, mutual missions or quests, etc. The max level in a skill is 99, which takes a considerable amount of time to reach. The higher the level number, the better the player's character is in that particular skill. Available skills range from combat to fishing, woodcutting, mining, smithing, etc, which can allow the production of items which can in turn be sold for gold pieces (GP) and used to buy a variety of items, such as better equipment to further the players' skills. The maximum combat level achievable is 126.

During peak hours, it is common to see around 170,000 players online across the 125 international servers located in six different countries, with a peak in excess of 197,000 simultaneous logged-in players reached in March 2006. Up to 2,000 players may be on one server at once, allowing a maximum of 250,000 online players at any one time. These servers are called "worlds" in RuneScape. Servers are located in the United States (79), the United Kingdom (18), Canada (6), the Netherlands (6), Australia (6) and Sweden (5)), making it the most popular online Java based game in the world. RuneScape is usually updated once a week, with the addition of new skills, quests, or items, as well as many other types of updates. Larger updates come in occasionally, and these updates take 2 weeks. In RuneScape Classic there are now only 2 worlds because only a few loyal member accounts are able to play today's classic version.

Fans of Runescape will surely be glad to hear a new website has been launched rsgoldhub.com dedicated mainly to Runescape. It has forums, blogs, news, history and cheat codes for Runescape.
