Responsible Gaming Policy

Jagex intends everyone to use and enjoy RuneScape in a responsible way.

RuneScape is a computer entertainment product and is operated with the intention of providing our users with an engaging, challenging and entertaining experience which they can enjoy from home, work or college via an online device.

While we do not block people from being logged in to RuneScape over a certain number of hours, we do not encourage people to play for more hours than is reasonable.

Please follow these simple guidelines to maintain a balanced life and get the most out of playing RuneScape.

• Take a break from the computer: read a book, go for a walk.
  
• Exercise at least once a week (this does not include doing Agility courses in RuneScape).
  
• Remember, it is just a game.
  
• When eating, take a break from the computer - it'll still be there when you come back.
  
• Don't ignore your real life: make sure you get a good balance between playing the game and enjoying reality.
  
• Work and study matters: don't let playing a game stop you doing well in your studies or at work.
  

If you feel that your use of RuneScape is out of control and you are finding it difficult following some, or all, of the steps mentioned above, then please seek advice and help from someone you trust or a medical professional.
