I was thinking about this today. What do you think the name has to do with the game? Please explain you thoughts.

 

 

 

NO FLAMING OR SPAMMING

A land where "runes" are used to teleport, and to kill people.

I think rune means runes(magic), and i think of scape as in landscape, so to me it means rune world.

 

 

 

Thats really badly phrased sorry.

 

 

 

Mostly game names involve either the content or style of the game, like Gears of War because the soldiers are called gears, Halo, because of the Halo devices, Warcraft, because war is waged.

a place whare you should run and escape

 

 

 

run|escape

Well Runes and Capes Merge it together Runescape

Capes don;t have much to do with the game, though, so that seems slightly pointless...unless you;re joking. Then hahahahaha. Smiley for effect: :XD:

Capes don't have much to do with the game?

 

 

 

 

 

All I hear about nowadays is players spending 100+ hours on the game, trying to get some silly little item called a "Skill cape"

 

 

 

Weird.

Clever on Jagex's end, seeing as they named it 'RuneScape' years before they made Skill Capes. Nice job.

 

 

 

I always thought Rune was about the Runite armor/weaponry, and Scape meaning Landscape.

hehe you kinda pwneerz0raused him... yeah I hate leetspeak.

 

 

 

Anyways I do believe that runes play a huge part in the game and also it's a big landscape... so Runescape... either that or run away!!! escape!!

 

 

 

yeah..

well, the game sucks you in, and you are supposed to RUN and ESCAPE. Therefore, we lost :anxious:

The land of rune. Rune is the base armour of the game as well as base armour of combat which, wether some people like it more or less, is also the base of the game.

in the origional RS you could only use magic i think...my mate said that.

 

 

 

But soon after melee was introcuced.

wrong

 

 

 

original you culd only use melee

 

 

 

later mage, archer and adventurer classes were added

Well, Runes are like ancient symbolie thingies.

 

 

 

Scape is a land..

 

 

 

 

 

My explination makes no sense ftw? :thumbsup:

In every other game I've seen, a Rune is a mystical force, usually contained within a rock or a stone, hence we have runes. I've never once seen the ground on RuneScape referred to as "Earth", so I presume the ground in RS is called "Rune". "Scape" simply means an area of space, so presumably, the area the rune covers.

 

 

 

Therefore, we have RuneScape.

No that was good, I agree with what you said. :wink:

Metal: Rune

 

Runes: Well, Runes of course..

 

Scape..D'oh

When I first joined, I thought it was run-escape. #-o

Runescape...

 

 

 

R is for the way you Run at me...

 

U cuz U the only 1 i see...

 

N is very very Next to ordinary...

 

E is Even more than anyone that you adore...

 

RUNE was made for me and you...

I thought rune was something elemental so I thought it was an UBER FANTASTICAL game but turns out it isn't.

 

 

 

And its called Runescape but Rune isn't the best armor..? :?

I think Jagex waz like "ya well theres rune armor and scapes sounds cool solets call it Runescape" then they ironicly made D, barrows and granite armor which owns rune totaly :? :wall:

At one point it was...

RuneScape is based in a time where magic and fairy tales "existed". "Rune" as in Magic. "Scape" is like land. Therefore, RuneScape.

Yes, A Magical Relm/Land

 

 

 

Land - landscape

 

 

 

Rune - magic

 

 

 

So, rune scape or runescape

 

 

 

;) Runite armour was just named after the name Runescape was formed.
