The game was originally released in January 2001 (and is now referred to as RuneScape Classic) in what would now be considered a very primitive form. The full world was much smaller, containing only a few small cities. There were only six quests, one server, and two developers. Classic ran for 17 years before being shut down forever in August 2018, although for the last few years was restricted to subscribing members who had logged in during its limited re-opening periods. It gradually expanded until 2004, when the whole game was overhauled completely: changes were made to the game engine, the graphics, the basic game mechanics, and the content and was released as RuneScape 2. Then, in July of 2013, Jagex released RuneScape 3, with improved audio and a new, customizable interface and kicking off the first in a series of game-wide World Events. Jagex later rereleased RuneScape 2, circa 2007, as Old School RuneScape, with its own small dev team and player polled updates.

RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape, colloquially referred to as RS3 and OSRS or simply Old School by players, are the two "main" versions of the game as they both receive regular updates and, thus, have their own dedicated playerbases. If you were to just say "RuneScape", you'd be assumed to be referring to one of these two versions.
