Illegal trading
Jagex has explicitly banned two types of trading: selling and buying RuneScape accounts, and trading RuneScape items and services for things outside of RuneScape, such as real world money or benefits in other online games. Despite the fact that Jagex will instantly ban anyone violating these rules, there is an active market for these illegal trades. On any given day one can find hundreds of RuneScape accounts being sold on eBay (however many of the bids are false). A very profitable website, buyrunescape.com, sells Runescape items for very low prices. Yet, Jagex has not taken any action against these pirate sites.
There are also entire websites springing up now, offering "professionally gained" items in exchange for cash. Items like the dragon chain body are on sale for $500 or more - The market is huge, but Jagex has insisted it won't allow it. (Particular reference to Sony, who decided to cash in on the trading of EverQuest items by opening up a legal trading ground)
Runescape History and Development
Version 1
Developer started work on the original game in 1998. This version was very different to the RuneScape of today. It had isometric graphics and was titled 'DeviousMUD'. This version was never released to the public, and only a few people ever saw it. It featured the town of Lumbridge and was an all player vs player zone.
Version 2
Developer scrapped version 1 and started work on a complete rewrite in 1999. Despite being a complete rewrite, this version was very similar to version 1 with the same graphics and name. This version was released as a public beta for only about one week, and then withdrawn again.
Version 3
Player fighting a highwayman in RuneScape Classic / Version Three (the original version featured to the public of the game)Developer started yet again with a third attempt starting on October 1999. This time the isometric view was replaced in favor of 3D graphics and 2D sprites. The game was renamed RuneScape and released to the public on January 4, 2001. This version is still online today but has been renamed RuneScape Classic when Version 4 was released on March 17, 2004.
As of August 3, 2005, the game developers decided to take RuneScape Classic free worlds offline due to vast amounts of players macroing, now RuneScape Classic is just an extra feature for members to remember what the past was like.
Version 4
Developer went for yet another complete rewrite. Version 4 changes the graphics to full 3D and has many other significant improvements. Whilst in development this version was called RuneScape 2, but when launched was just called RuneScape. An incomplete beta of this version was available to members on December 1, 2003, and then the finished version was launched on March 27, 2004. This is the current version of the game being promoted by Jagex. This is the version most people think of when one says RuneScape.
