Hi ray004
I can probably give you a little "push" in how you get started with Runescape.
First of all you should visit their Website (i assume you have been there already)
http://www.runescape.com/
To make an Runescape Account, click
HERE
You can have as many Runescape Characters as you want.
The first time you log on your character, you get transformed to a place called "The Tutorial Island." You should really pay attention, and read what the NPC's are saying. This Tutorial will help you alot when you get to the MainLand with other players.
A lot of people think that the tutorial island, is somekind a part of the game, and they quit even before they pass it. It's just to help the newcomers in the game.
Here is a map of the Runescape World, You should use this when you walk around in Runescape, as its pretty big, and easy to get lost.

The game also require Java to be installed on your computer, but i assume you have it?
If not, you can get it on
www.java.com I think.
Runescape has their own "how to get started" guide, that you can visit
here
If you have any other specifit questions, then you can just ask me.
Hope you enjoy the game
Regards,
Manjax
