Let me put that question in perspective for you. Asking for the storyline of RuneScape is the equivalent of a new alien race landing in Times Square and asking a random tourist about the history of this planet. But worry not: I come in peace.

Essentially, the storyline of RuneScape is ever-growing, which I find to be an incredible feat for any gaming establishment to attempt. Rather than put forth a single premise and rake in the dollars, Jagex is pumping out fresh content to the wonderful world of RuneScape all the time. This is accomplished by a system of quests and updates, where players are rewarded for following certain storylines, visiting new parts of the globe, or using fresh features. RuneScape's forward-thinking development is a great feat among online RPG games (no downloads, especially).
