Introduction
-Getting started in RuneScape is a quick and easy process. Within a few minutes you can create an account and start playing the game!
+

So, you have finally downloaded the game and created your character, but are completely lost on what is different from the two Jagex owned games. You have come to the right place.



-Playing the Demo +Speak to Hans

-If you haven't played RuneScape before, the fastest way to get into the game and try it out is to play the instant demo. Simply click here to load the game then, once it has finished loading, click the 'Play Now' button in the 'Instant Demo' column. You'll be taken straight into the game and playing in no time (see Playing For the First Time below). +

Many players come in the game not knowing what to expect of how they can play the game. The nostalgic excitement can cause one to spam click buttons in the beginning causing you to miss the important starting message

+

Once you leave the basement where you firs start run over to Hans standing in Lumbridge Castle's courtyard. Once you talk to him it will pull up the dialogue

+

First click on the "More options option"

+ +

And then you will see a list of options.

-The demo does have some limitations, but should give you enough of a taster to see if you enjoy playing it. Your progress in the demo will be saved to your computer, but it will not be password protected; anyone who uses your computer will be able to either access it too or save over it. If you enjoy the demo and would like to keep your progress, make the character your own, open up the game world and be able to access your character from other internet-connected computers, simply create a free account (follow the prompts in-game for how to do this). -

- -You play the game by clicking the 'Play RuneScape' link from the RuneScape main page. 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'. -

-This will take you into the game where you can select different detail modes or worlds, or just log in to play straight away. We recommend you try the High Detail mode first. If you have problems with the High Detail mode, try the Standard Detail version by selecting it on the log-in screen. Failing that, use Safe Mode. -

-Here you will be presented with a wide variety of options for your character and what they look like. You can keep adjusting this as much as you like in this interface, or you can simply click 'Preset' to be given a previously generated character. Later, you may pay some characters in-game to change your look 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 'Confirm' button, which will launch your character into the opening quest, Unstable Foundations, where some friendly and not-so-friendly citizens of RuneScape await you. -
