Real-world trading (RWT), also called real-world item trading (RWIT), is the act of trading anything outside of RuneScape (usually real-world money) for RuneScape items or services, or vice versa. Legally, every item in RuneScape is the property of Jagex, and therefore cannot be considered as personal property of the player. Players who conduct RWT violate rule 12, and risk being permanently banned without warning.
