![]() ![]() GamePress: The relaunch of a 2007 version of RuneScape (OSRS) was a tremendous success. In addition, we, of course, recognise that mobile gaming continues to rapidly grow as a sector, and is expected to do so for years to come and extending the products to the mobile platform is a great opportunity to grow the communities that enjoy both RuneScape & OldSchool. ![]() So we thought, ‘What if the game was in your pocket?’ Your morning commute, lunch break or even a visit to the bathroom can all become a RuneScape session! With smartphones and tablets becoming more and more powerful we’re now in a position where we can truly bring the full RuneScape experience – whether that’s RuneScape or Old School RuneScape – to mobile devices! As the franchise turns seventeen next year we recognize that our players have grown up with us with many of them now in full time employment with families and responsibilities it can be difficult to find the time to spend hours at a computer playing the game. JaGeX : We’re obsessed with our players at Jagex and it’s because of them that we’re extending both RuneScape & OldSchool to mobile. GamePress: Why after almost two decades on PC, is RuneScape finally make the jump to mobile? Since then I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to lead the OldSchool development team of fifteen where we have a simple purpose: serve our community with great content to enjoy. Both RuneScape MMORPGs have separate development teams, both have their own exclusive content, and both have their own loyal communities.Īs for me, I’ve been with the Old School team for almost four years now, having joined the original team of just three back in January 2014 as a QA Analyst. Old School started as a snapshot of RuneScape as it was in August 2007, but since then it’s very much become its own game. JaGeX: Sure, absolutely! So RuneScape is now nearly 17 years old, while the game I work on – Old School RuneScape – will be celebrating its fifth birthday next February. We haven’t yet decided whether we’ll make the open test accessible to players without membership.GamePress: I'm sure there are many active RuneScape players among the GamePress community, but for those that lapsed from RuneScape or somehow never tried it before, can you give a short background about the game, its appeal, and your role in its development?.Players with access to the current closed test will continue to access Old School RuneScape.Currently, you cannot make payments (whether for membership or bonds) within the application or through your Google Play balance.Access is first-come-first-served, but we’ll be expanding the number of installs regularly, as and when we’re confident in the stability of the test. There is an install limit which caps the number of downloads. ![]() Players without a membership will be met with the message: The Old School RuneScape Android beta requires membership to play. ![]()
