Welcome to FT, sohb!

We usually call this a RTW or ATW ticket, not RWT. Within oneworld you will also often find something like xONEx where the first x stands for the class of travel (L, D or A (first) and the seond x for the number of continents (3-6).

The factors which influence the price are class of travel (do you really need A or would D do as well?), place where you start, number of continents (which is linked to the place where you start as some starting points change the number of continents required) and the issuing carrier (AA is MUCH cheaper than QF).

And just ask our friendly moderator to move this to the OW forum which also contains a helpful sticky with links to rules and prices and much more.
