The game of RuneScape was re-opened
The game of Runescape Gold was re-opened for two weeks on 11 November 2009, again for two weeks on 1 June 2010, and for another two weeks on 15 September 2011 to paying RuneScape members, who were told they would be permitted to continue playing Classic after that time provided they had logged in during the two-week period. On 3 May 2011, a cape was added to the game which can be claimed by players who have ever logged in to Classic.
