ESRB Rating: RP-T+
Sometimes the ESRB rates things what people don't expect.
RuneScape has no ESRB rating. JaGex says the game is targeted at an audience of 12 and older. If it was rated, it would most likely get T (Teen) as it contains minimal violence (It has fighting, no blood and gore) and now allows a few swears. However compared to other games that received a 'T' rating, RuneScape would be on the lower side of the spectrum.
