How to get started in runescape
November 20th, 2008Getting started in RuneScape is a easy and quick process. Within a few minutes you can create an account and start playing the game! 
The first thing you’ll need is a new character to play! You can create yourself a new account by clicking here and clicking the "Create a Free Account" button. Once you’ve done that, you can come back here to continue the guide.
You play the game by clicking the Play RuneScape link from the RuneScape main page. This will take you to a screen which gives you the option to play in high or low detail.
This will take you to the world select screen. All of the game worlds are identical, but you will meet different players on each one. The easiest option is to choose the large button that says "Choose best free world for me". This will try to choose the least busy world near you.
The button on the right selects the best members-only world for you. There are far more features of the game available on the members’ worlds; if you find you’re enjoying RuneScape and you’d like to take the game experience further, you can subscribe and start playing on those worlds.
The initial download process will then start. During the download a grey security box will pop up.
You will be asked "Do you want to install and run RuneScape?" 
You should check the box that appears next to "Always trust content from Jagex Ltd" and then click "Yes".
When the game has loaded you will be presented with the title screen. Enter the username and password you chose when you created your account and click "Login".
Character creation interface You will then be presented with an interface to set up your character, as shown on the left:
To start with, indicate whether you use a one- or two-button mouse. After this, you will be presented with a wide variety of options for designing what your character looks like. You can keep adjusting this as much as you like in this interface. Once you have decided upon your "look" and entered the wide world of RuneScape, you can pay some characters to change it if you decide you’d prefer a different haircut, clothes or even gender. Click here to read about changing your look in game.
Once you have finished you should click the "Accept" button which will launch your character into our tutorial, where the friendly citizens of RuneScape are looking forward to greeting you.
Starting the tutorial Your character will begin their RuneScape life in Lumbridge. Here you will be introduced to the basics of playing RuneScape. You will be taken through a variety of skills by the instructors, including casting spells, Fishing, Mining, combat and much more. 
This should only take about 20 minutes to complete. When you’ve finished, your character will free the rustic town of Lumbridge from peril, and your RuneScape adventures will truly begin!

Runescape hacks are one of the most searched for Runescape related topics. It seems that so many Runescape players are looking for the short cut to
The reality is that there are no free Runescape hacks or paid ones for that matter, but if there were Runescape hacks out there I can assure you they would not be freely available.There are no hacks for Runescape that allow you to change your characters stats or duplicate rare items, and if there are sites or hackers out there claiming that they can they are just trying to make you their next victim by getting you to download the Runescape hacks which will then install a trojan on your computer and then allow them to hack your Runescape account with their key logger. The amount of money that could be made from hacking Runescape is truly astronomical and I highly doubt that anyone with the expertise to hack runescape would be quick to let such knowledge get out to the general public to the point where they dont know.
