If you're a free player, we've got some great news for you - RuneScape HD is available to everyone! The Beta period is over, so both free players and members can access the new-look RuneScape. Not only that, but free players and members can get their hands on some new releases - the bank update, Item Lending and a number of Lumbridge changes - that are mentioned at the bottom of this newspost.

Please be aware that the fullscreen mode of RuneScape HD is NOT currently available to free players - it continues to be a members-only benefit. We are looking at the possibility of a fullscreen mode for free players, with adverts displaying in the fullscreen window; for now, however, RuneScape HD's range of graphical improvements are ready to be explored by everyone.

To find out how to play RuneScape in high detail, please visit the release newspost here.

If you are having issues with running RuneScape HD or would like more technical information about the update, visit the RuneScape HD FAQs here. You can also visit the Technical Support Forum for various threads that may help you.

We would also like to thank you for the wealth of comments, compliments and feedback we have received over the past couple of weeks. It is down to you that many small graphical issues have been resolved, with a number of changes being introduced in the update today.

This does not mean that we will ignore any feedback from now on - far from it, in fact. We welcome any constructive comments, to help us to continually improve RuneScape HD and make it as good as it can be.

This Week's Releases:

On top of the full release of RuneScape HD, we have a bumper lot of updates that will benefit both free players and members:

First up is our bank update, which brings you tabs and a search function, among other changes, to help you organise your bank. Up to eight separate tabs can be created to help clear your banking mess.

Item Lending is next, bringing you a new way to help your friends! You can lend out a wide range of handy items, including many of RuneScape's best weapons and armour.

We've gone back to the drawing board and completely reworked the tutorial: from the creation of your character right through to your first explorations of RuneScape.

In return for completing some tasks, you can receive a modest, but prompt, payment from various people in our Lumbridge Moneymaking update. So, if you're feeling poor, the people of Lumbridge will help you to recover your finances - in return for a little hard work.

Finally, this week brings the free game's first Achievement Diary. Travel to Explorer Jack to start your Lumbridge and Draynor Achievement Diary.

Sorry, I did it.

I was going to post here that I merged two threads both talking about the update today into one, and that I changed the title, but then I saw a post report, and had to ban a spammer!

This is good.
We can abuse item lending:D
Lets say you lend some good armour, and go to the bh with it.
If you die, you won't lose it!
So you can keep on making profit by killing people with it:p
Should be fun^^

I think items lended to you are not allowed to be brought into dangerous minigames, and if you die by a normal monster, those borrowed items have a higher "Items Kept On Death" priority, so if you borrowed a rune scimitar (8k+), and you also had a dragon chain (20+ mill) on, and you for some reason had only 1 item kept on death, you would keep the scimitar and lose the chain, as far as I know.

Ohh yea, I forgot about that.
So, this is just a useless update.
Well…
Maybe usefull for some things, but not really:p

I'm not sure, but did they add a message after you have cast Home Teleport or has this always been this way?
