While the massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre at large is known for each individual title having an immense amount of content to justify years-long subscriptions, Jagex’s RuneScape stands out for its legacy. The free-to-play game has existed since 2001, and since then has gone through multiple iterations — most recently becoming an HTML-based title with RuneScape 3 rather than the Java-based Old School RuneScape.

Golden Week is a nationwide Japanese holiday held annually from the 29th April into early May, during which time the whole country jumps into full holiday mode.
