History
DeviousMUD started out in 1998 as a game written solely by Andrew Gower. The game had isometric graphics and was never released to the public.

A new version of DeviousMUD was released in 1999. Although it was completely rewritten, it kept the same name and remained similar to the original. It was released as a public beta for about a week.

In October of 1999, Andrew started another rewrite, this time with his brothers Paul and Ian. A number of change were made, and the game was renamed to RuneScape
