A developer asked GPT-6 to build RuneScape and ended up with a playable multiplayer game that runs directly in a web browser.
Rohan Varma created Elderwood Realms using GPT-6 Astra in Codex, drawing heavily on Old School RuneScape and recreating familiar locations and skills from Jagex’s long-running MMO.
It even brings RuneScape back to its browser-based roots. The original game began life as a Java-based browser game more than 25 years ago, although Jagex eventually moved away from browser support with its own client and Steam integration.
Explaining how the project came together, Varma said he asked GPT-6 Astra in Codex to “build RuneScape” and deploy it to a ChatGPT Site.
The result is Elderwood Realms, a “fan prototype” that currently drops players into its recreation of Lumbridge, complete with multiplayer.
Having briefly dipped my toes in faux-RuneScape, it’s playable in the loosest sense, though prone to frequent connection errors. Likewise, various iconic landmarks, including Varrock and Falador, appear in wildly different places from the actual game, and textures are near non-existant.

Varma said 3,000 accounts were created within the first 24 hours, with players collectively spending more than 1,000 hours in the game.
