It's been over 9 years since the second iteration on Runescape was released, and fans of the MMORPG (myself included) have patiently waited for the latest major overhaul. The wait is over, however, as Jagex have finally released Runescape 3 today (23/07/2013).

The upgraded game engine also kick-starts the Battle of Lumbridge event, which gives players more control over the world of Gielinor! The official launch trailer can be viewed on the official Runescape YouTube channel.
