Crashes

Fix the game! Why is it crashing so much????

A Place to Call Home…

I’ve been playing RuneScape since the beginning, and Gielinor has always had a special place in my heart. Few games offer the kind of freedom RuneScape does, letting you build your own adventure and enjoy the world at your own pace.

Between its wide variety of skills, the ability to disable XP and control your own progression, the monster log, minigames, and collectible pets, there’s always something to enjoy without feeling pressured to follow someone else’s path. I love being able to simply live in Gielinor, choosing what to pursue, when to pursue it, and how I want to experience the world.

After all these years, RuneScape is still giving me a reason to come home. Here’s to new adventures, new goals, and a new life in Gielinor. 💚

Definitely a 5⭐️ game

Edit • Vastly disappointed in the RS Community and the incessant whining causing the Reignited Project to be cancelled. That project could have opened new doors for New & Veteran Players alike, giving them a way to start everything fresh.

Phone Crashes

Ever since last update my phone randomly crashes back to Home Screen or crashes when I’m near the grand exchange. Never happened before update

Was Great until about a weeks ago

Love playing the game on iPad until about a week ago when it started crashing. Now as soon as a world starts to load the app crashes. I have up to date iOS, uninstalled the app and reinstalled, turned my pad off and back on. Nothing is working.

Fix you’re game

I use a iPad that’s 3 years old and I can’t run this game not worth going to buy a new iPad just for RuneScape

Words From A Veteran RuneScape Player

This is still the number one MMORPG in America for people like myself Veteran Players who have been playing RuneScape FOR YEARS. Since high school. Almost twenty years now. A lot of us lead the packs in ways where we make sure to set good examples for other RuneScape players. Old and Young. Plenty of opportunity to help out in the community. Thanks Jagex! ~Thomas

Crashing

Runescape is probably one of the better games you can play on mobile, but the newest update (October 19, 2026) is causing crashes for me after about 15-20 minutes. I’ve set all graphics settings to low, and the crashing still happens.

Best game ever

This is the best game ever

Horrible Combat

RuneScape is meant to be a click button game not world of Warcraft. Look at the player base there are practically 10 players in world at night meant for 1000 players… OSRS proved that combat was the reason people left! And no changing to legacy is not the same at all! If you know why people left why do you refuse to offer real osrs combat in RS3 too scared to make small playerbase mad???

Fix mobile chat box

For some dumb reason, every time, go to chat, it shortens or completely disappears, can it be fixed, so the box, stays normal size, no matter what, I click. Jagex fix this issue, I will give you 4 stars.

Could use a dedicated Mobile Dev team

Mobile is my favourite way to play RuneScape. 5 stars because RuneScape is fantastic but as title says, could use with some serious mobile bug fixes and support

Give it a chance

OSRS player here. Been playing RS3 since March. This game has been an absolute blast. The game devs are absolutely cooking right and the future looks super bright. Did a group Iron Man with the boys. I don’t regret it. The app itself sucks battery life and is a bit resource heavy. Click boxes are a bit awkward. Doesn’t matter I love this game. And everyone crying because of reignited, they pulled it back. They canceled it. If you read reviews about that, ignore them. The devs listened to the player base and cancelled a huge project they’ve been working on for a while. I didn’t mind the idea, but the old heads lost their minds. All the pay to level micro transactions are gone, which is awesome. You can still buy cosmetics, but I don’t care about that.

P2W For 15 Years

I joined a few days ago and went to give it a go. I was at the GE and kept getting hit with these things called Pulse Cores. I asked what they were. Apparently, they were items bought for real money and they allowed the players to skip levels, get extra experience, and EVERYONE was using them. I asked how I could get them and I guess they aren’t available for new players. Only the old players got to take advantage of these boosts. This game is just absolutely not fair to new players. I uninstalled and will be asking for a refund on my subscription.

Reignited Review

Jagex reignited my passion for expressing my dissatisfaction with terrible business models. DO NOT PAY FOR ANY JAGEX GAMES! The development team has changed. They’re skin walkers in the flayed corpse of what’s left of a 27 year old developer. The current developers are liars and thieves.

Bad Management

The company does anything it can to make the game worse as time goes on, and then they will punish you for sticking around.
