The name Runescape probalby means that in this world (scape) there are runes (rune). That becomes: rune+scape=Runescape. Why doing it harder than soo?

Run-escape

 

 

 

 

 

because u gotta run and escape before u get addicted and catch the disease!

 

 

 

 

 

but rune is just a made up word which Jagex came up with , and scape means world.

 

 

 

Rune is a real word meaning a type of medieval writing. The game is based in medieval times which explains Rune. And Scape as in Landscape meaning a piece of land. Explaining Scape. Anyone get that?

It's because Bubsa is god and he got the choice to name it, so he called it Runescape, that is the only screw up I can think Bubsa has done :wall: , damn you he had the chance to name "The Game" anything he wanted, If I were him, I woulda called it Bubsaland

i've always thought it was run-escape till i was like lvl 60. it sounds better anyways :-X

Run-Escape.... nah...

 

 

 

Rune is actually some Germanic Language.

ur mom plays he he he lol rofl lmao

 

 

 

MY theory is that runescape is actualy the name of a seceret agency running this so called " RUNESCAPE" but the authors are secret agents using the name to confuse any would be criminals

Run-escape

Not true actually. Rune is a word based in the Celtic lore I believe and it has been used for hundreds of years... :wall:

Well the game is based on lots of rune things, with the landscape revolving around the power of runes. Anyway it's just a game name that Andrew thought of.

 

 

 

Thats probably the best explination

Erm. I'll bet that it was just a whim. Like my name. "Blipo" didn't hold any significance with me until I randomly came up with it. Andrew said, "Hey! RuneScape!" And Paul said "Hey, yeah!" And Constant said "No!" And Andrew and Paul said "Shut up, Constant!" And so we got RuneScape.

Rune as in the runes to make spells and scape cuz because its used in the end of something. Netscape...uh.... #-o

 

 

 

umm, just to tell you, 'scape' isn't a suffix. Well, it is, but it isn't used just to end rune. Scape is a vast expanse of something.

 

 

 

And many people just call the game RunEscape just for a laugh. I started playing at the smae time as a friend of mine and we found run escape together. Everyone finds it and thinks it means something, but it is sort of just a coincidence.

well i think RuneScape Is named that becuase Andrew likes runes not the game runes but elder FuÃÆÃâÃâþark and what i was actually looking for when i came across the game Runescape i thought wicked a game about runes but it turned out to be not what i expected

 

 

 

 

 

Even No I am now kinda addicted to this game now which is not a bad thing in my opinion

mayeb the first tow items in teh game were

 

 

 

runes + cape = runescape!!!

 

 

 

:D

It is called runescape because the word rune means ancient text and scape means land. So, RuneScape, Land of Ancient Text. Runescape. 8-)

the scape part is quiet simple there are many things like netscape, landscape, farscape...just means like a land mass or a place runes is just a made up item found only is this scape i guess lol and people just call it run-escape for a quick laugh :lol:

 

 

 

'Runes' aren't only found on this game, they have been mythical items for magicians spells for a loooooong time

 

 

 

no runes means ancient. liek a rune dictionary means an ancient dictionary. not some mythical magical thingy. yup. i agree with darkfreak94. thats my theory.

 

but rune is just a made up word which Jagex came up with , and scape means world.

 

 

 

Scape doesn't directly mean world, and rune isn't a made up word.

Because they didn't want to call it Mithscape. :P

The general consensus back then was that Rune stood for the Magical Stones(Impossible for it to mean Runite because back then Steel\Mith was the best armour), and that Scape stood for Land.

 

 

 

Therefore Magical Land.

serintch oquuondek quioliant

 

no thats not random giberish,its actually a special language that only i spek.that meant something along the line of:

 

it's probably called runescape cuz it sounds cool...

rune = a cryptic writing, often celtic in origin.

 

scape = something to do with the land, maybe runescape together means a strange, new, cryptic land?

 

 

 

or maybe jagex just picked the name from a hat 8-)

Well the game is based on lots of rune things, with the landscape revolving around the power of runes. Anyway it's just a game name that Andrew thought of.

 

Thank god for Andrew.

Rune for the magic. scape for the land

 

Possible Translation: magic land. Rofl

Wait my siggy is in Ancient Runes. :P

Some dudes that I've seen even call the game run-escape :-k

 

 

 

my mom calls it that...yeah my mom plays :wall:

 

 

 

my dad calls it that aswell when he goes on about doing run-escape instead of homework

 

:uhh: weird - x files stuff that is :uhh:
