Main Menu

The Main Menu can be accessed by selecting 'Play Free Now' from the RuneScape homepage. Once it has loaded, the main menu will appear. You can login to the game from the main menu, create a new account, and select various preferences. You can also adjust the volume straight from the main menu.

Old features included a quick switch between Standard Detail and High Detail, toggling the animated background directly from the Main Menu, a small comparison of free and members gameplay, and switching worlds (before the Lobby update).
