The Golden Age of RuneScape was the most prosperous period of RuneScape's history, lasting from mid 2011, in the aftermath of the Wilderness Swarm's defeat and ending in the mid-to-late 2020s.

Pre-golden age
The Golden Age was the result of a period of slowly-increasing player co-operation, a period of large inflation, and the removal of the Wilderness Swarm, which had been caused by a glitch in the player respawn and teleport system, causing "ghosts" to appear.

This period was known as the "Gilded Age of RuneScape," which itself had come after the "Early Age." During this period, players were not very co-operative, and the game was fraut with immature players and rulebreakers, not to mention thousands of bots and macroers.
