31st March, Cambridge, United Kingdom. Jagex today announced that the completely upgraded version of its online adventure game RuneScape has gone live and can now be played by all new and existing players at www.runescape.com.

Constant Tedder, Managing Director of Jagex Ltd, stated 'We're thrilled to be launching the new version of RuneScape which brings all the fun and excitement of adventuring in a massive multi-player fully 3D online world to anyone with a PC and an internet connection. No other game is as easy to start playing and offers so much exciting gameplay.'

Andrew Gower, RuneScape's inventor and co-founder of Jagex Ltd, adds 'We're very excited that we've managed to get a high detail 3d engine and a massive world running within the limitations of a normal web-browser. The whole team has worked really hard to prove that a standard web-browser with no extra plugins, can be made to do far more than anyone thought possible.'

RuneScape has a free and a subscription-based members version. The free version is not a time limited trial. The members' version costs just $5 per month and gives unlimited access to twice as big a map, three times as many quests, lots of new skills such as dueling, and a whole host of other special features.
