Introduction

The 'Rules of RuneScape' are in place to help us all enjoy an engaging, safe and above all enjoyable RuneScape environment.

We have provided the tools for our players to customise their social experience as they see fit. Utilising their Friend List and Clan functionality players can help maintain contact with others they may meet on their adventures. Similarly the Ignore List is in place to limit exposure to those that players may not wish to interact with.

If however, you witness another player presenting a serious risk to other players or the integrity of our game, the Report Abuse feature is in place to allow players to escalate these problems directly to us.

Players who feel that they have been falsely accused of committing an offence should submit an appeal via the 'Account Management' page.

The RuneScape rules are organised into three categories: Honour, Respect and Security. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with these rules before playing RuneScape.
