How long would it take to beat RuneScape?

Beating RuneScape is subjective, but reaching endgame goals like a Max Cape (level 99 in all skills) can take 1,000 to 3,000+ hours, depending heavily on efficiency, with the main story/quests taking much less (hundreds of hours for engrossing play) or a massive commitment for completionists. It's a marathon MMO, not a sprint; casual play extends time, while optimized play shortens it, but even "maxing" efficiently is hundreds of hours.
