Runescape, which is owned by Jagex, has been around for a long time now, although in the last couple of years, Runescape has really removed, some of the more old-fashioned Runescape players will recall the original Runescape, now named "Runescape Classic" or RSC.

Despite it, well not even being lengthy ago that it was around, Runescape 2, that the version you more then likely know, was released, because of this pretty much everyone transferred over to play the new Runescape, obviously there are still some players who play classic.
The main change, was when Jagex made it so you can now play Runescape two, only members are able to take part in the original Runescape, this was one of the first issues that many players faced, but afterwards, Runescape classic then closed its doors to sign ups, which means you were only able to play RSC if you had logged in inside the previous 3/6 months.

There is some rumours about Jagex opening up RSC for players to host their very own servers or something like that much the same, IE theyd need to pay x amount every month to Jagex to obtain their own Runescape classic world, Im lets assume that means theyd have the ability to control everything, but I doubt youd be able to take part in the same character on 2 Runescape classic worlds.
This does seem like a very smart move for Jagex, there are lots of RSC private servers available, but not just one of them even comes to near to how good Runescape Classic was, there are still a lot of videos online if you want to check out some Classic player killing / action.
