I play runescape, it is one of my favorite games. I can make about 1-2 million gp per day and, I do this by making law runes. In cash I have 200 million gp, I don't know how much I have in items. I do not make money from this in real life as this is against the in game rules.

The game is purely for fun. The people who try to make money from it are the same sort of people as the ones in World of Warcraft. They work in sweatshops, constantly making money in the game so they can sell it to players who can't be bothered to make it themselves. They don't even get paid much. But as with all MMORPG's there will be people who want to buy money so there will always be people willing to provide it. It's unavoidable.

I play runescape in my spare time and such. I have 10mil in game(5mil in cash, 5mil in items such as zamarok armour). You can not make money in real life from runescape as it is against the rules and if the customer service team at jagex headquarters tracks your ip sometimes you can get a lawsuit.

I love playing runescape. I love this game so much. The first time I've played it, I was 12 and now I'm 18 and still playing. I don't make millions of money in the game because I'm only a free player and that's not my purpose in playing the game. I only make like 300 to 500 thousand dollars day. Sometimes I don't make that much money at all. Like I said, making money in the game is not my purpose at all.

I have played Runescape for several years, and the best way to make money is probably through skill leveling in general. Certain skills, like mining, smithing, runecrafting, and fletching earn more money in general at high levels. I make money by training these skills and selling the products of my labor. I do not make money in real life from the game because most of the "buy RS gold" websites are scams that will get your account banned. Also, most of the people behind those sites are, as someone here said already, working in sweatshops under terrible conditions. I refuse to promote this behavior by companies. Making money in real life from the game is against the rules.

I play runescape and it is a fun game, however trying to make money form it in real life is against the rules and if you are caught you will be banned. Some people make money by selling runescape accounts and coins now that the free-trade is back. you should try the game, after all it is fun and you can make lots of friends and learn about a magical medieval world

I used to play this game a few years ago and I got money by picking flax and spinning it into bow strings. They sold for about 200 gp each in the grand exchange. it is free and does not require much.(10 crafting skill). You do need to be a member to do this though. A good free to play way to make money is by mining. If you can mine coal, it will sell for about 200 gp in the grand exchange as well. The only downside to this method is, many people mine coal, so there usually aren't any spots to mine.
