In the lands of Gielinor gamers are able to trade objects–mithril longswords, yak-disguise armor herb from herbiboars and gold, the in-game currency money. At some point, players began swapping in-game gold into real dollars, an exercise called actual-international buying and selling. Jagex the game’s developer, prohibits those exchanges.

Later, the need gold has exceeded supply and a few gamers have become full-time producers of gold or players who produce on the internet in-game currency to market for actual-international cash.

Jagex launched one from its archive and players flocked to what ended up known as Old School RuneScape.
