Download Runescape
One of the biggest advantages of RuneScape
is that it is completely web-based; any computer with a web
browser that can run Java-based programs can access
RuneScape. All of the player’s information, as well, is
stored on the RuneScape servers. This means that players do
not have to download any files or programs to their computer
to play RuneScape and that players can access their account
and their character from any computer with internet access.
However, runescape.com does have a downloads section that
includes a Windows client, a map, wallpaper, ringtones, and
other extras that players can download. The Windows client
is a small program available under “Download Extra Files” in
the “Website Features” section of runescape.com. By saving
the Windows client program to the desktop, players can
double click the icon and go directly to runescape.com. The
webpage comes up in a maximized window, as well, so players
don’t have to take the time to type in the web address or
enlarge the window.
The world map is also available in the “Download Extra Files”
section. This map is the same one players can view on the
website and includes all of the symbols marking shops, banks,
anvils, and other locations. Players should download and
print the map for quick in-game use.
Runescape.com also hosts a number of wallpaper images for
players to download and use on their personal computer. Each
wallpaper comes in four different sizes to accommodate the
different resolutions most often used.
Finally, players can purchase and download RuneScape mobile
phone wallpaper and ring tones at the Jagex shop. The
wallpaper and ring tones are available for a number of
different phone brands and models. However, the mobile phone
options are not available in all countries yet, and new
items are being added daily, so players should check the
Jagex shop often for updates.
All of the above downloads are official Jagex and RuneScape
programs. There are also a number of third-party programs
that players can download off of other websites for use in
RuneScape, such as autominers, auto trainers, wallpaper, and
more. However, players should always be wary of downloading
programs from other websites because they could contain
viruses or be scams. Also, the use of unofficial programs in
RuneScape, especially ones that give a player an unfair
advantage, may not be allowed.
All of the downloads at runescape.com are certified virus-free
by Jagex, and players should feel free to download them
without hesitation. The website is also updated regularly,
and new wallpaper, ring tones, and other downloadable
content is added fairly often. Players who love RuneScape
will enjoy downloading these files and decking out their
computer or mobile phone in RuneScape décor
