Old School Runescape is the game equivalent to a warm cup of tea and a cozy blanket Its simple, but captivating One of my favorite lines in a review of rs3 critiquing the item belt, was "Even though going to the bank and getting your fishing rod and bait wasn't fishing, it was part of the EXPERIENCE of fishing"brbrThats what runescape is, its slow, but grounded, and delightfully nostalgic for those of us who grew up on it

Because it's a coping mechanism

Still salty about the wilderness ditch and I’m 33 years old
Comment from : @JohnMichaelAtx

Someone that asks that question I don’t have a response for other than you don’t know what it was like I had an almost all 99 account back in the day and alternated with a local friend I loved playing castle wars spending millions on runes and just completely dominating that shit I remember that desert duel place too pvp that was always so much fun with the poison dagger I don’t have time like that anymore but when I retire I’m definitely going back to rs full time

Man I Miss RuneScape
Comment from : @Liam20005

This game has been ruined a long time ago and shall never be the same Though i sometimes desire to play again and walk trough the magical world of runescape For me runescape was like a second life And i will never forget what this game means to me
Comment from : @RemyNulTien

Still playing
Comment from : @bocaJonPC

Played both and liked both of them And rs3 its not to be compared with woW, rs3 is rs3, just that simple and awesome game
Comment from : @victorrenato835

I’ve played off and on for 20 years I was there when EOC happened and I actually prefer it I’ve tried osrs a couple times and just get bored But I’m loving being back into rs3 Unpopular opinion I know but rs3 is vastly superior

If isn't broken, don't fix it
Comment from : @noname0058

Yap yap yap
Comment from : @ElDonGato69

I went to old school as well Its better in my opinion
Comment from : @Bluefish-LM

If they only didnt rerelease the rares :/ And their were real rares besides 3rd age I might enjoy OSRS and bit more but having a partyhat to show off is still king in my book Plus once you learn abilities and such its pretty bad ass, people dont give it the chance because they want simple stupid instead of learning experienced combat methods
Comment from : @ayeadam

At this point would like RS3 to move away from “ Click to move” to WASD like wow, like we are half way there with qued ability bars
Comment from : @freebee95553

Runescape was so different from other mmos and other games that it was so fun, when they started changing it to make it more like other mmos is when it really burned down
Comment from : @BottledPoe

That skychi clip lol
Comment from : @TheFelixRojas

Osrs was never gone
Comment from : @JimEmerickIII

But now they are starting to do the same exact thing by starting out with a “new skill” pre eoc got summoning now we got sailing coming in I mean it’s only time before they do EOC 20 in a “POLL” the whole idea in the beginning was just to reintroduce Osrs in 2012-2013 with only Server updates and few quests/tweaks but now fast forward $5-8 mem’s now 1249 for the same sht only convenient thing is GE
Comment from : @H_R_G_707

Why fix something that isnt broken Jagex lost alot of player when they did that bs
Comment from : @bcha93

No it's not Check out the player numbers
Comment from : @dflatt1783

I asked for it to play more like WOW but I was disappointed it just doesn't hit like OSRS Truth is bots are what stabilize this game and what makes it interesting you are either a player or a bot you cannot do both and that is what is unique

Comment from : @mitchmunro2744

Spoken like someone who can't comprehend keybinds 🤓
Comment from : @codymiller8354

I dont have time to grind a new player now days I have a maxed 20 def pure from about 05ish I wish i could pk on him one last time Why did they jave to implement EOCsmh
Comment from : @_NT91

I’m close to max on osrs and started rs3 a week ago it’s different for sure but man I’m having fun
Comment from : @MasteryGuns

EoC is all good now, though
Comment from : @manocustaff4809

EOC is good
Comment from : @ginlock46

I feel like rs3 will takeover at one point
Comment from : @reaperz03

My goal as a teenager was to scam someone’s phat but it never happened 🥲 and there’s moments as an adult I contemplate about just spent RL cash to buy them 😈
Comment from : @khoanguyen8378

"the one thing this boomer ass community doesn't like is change" brbrMeanwhile OSRS has very frequent updates that change the game in huge ways 😭 the difference is that they're often good updates because the players actually get to vote on what is added to the game It's a really important point that is so overlooked by the wider gaming community
Comment from : @umarrii

I still remember back in the 2000s when i was in Middle school this game was EVERYTHING, also the WoW hype was starting Its crazy that almost 20 years later its still got a community
Comment from : @mjkhan9664

oldschool runescape has a bot population of 50 so it doesnt have that many more players its just full of bots and money traders
Comment from : @SwissFech

Nah The Problem was the Community Limited trade was the awnser to to much scamming, they removed PvP because of luring brbrThey did nothing for No reasonbrbrBut im thankfull, the RS3 Community went nice and quite friendly again
Comment from : @derosterhaze4059

Mountains of MMOs died trying to climb the hill that WoW sat on, by copy what WoW did Smart MMOs learned to do what they did best - being different
Comment from : @cattysplat

RS3 is highly looked down upon for its p2w (pay to win) gameplay model
Comment from : @kyleandrews422

Boomer? A lot of people are under 30 playing old school I started because I wanted to play it as a kid but my family could never really afford a computer
Comment from : @martinvargas1346

WE LIKED THE 2D version
Comment from : @OkieDokedU

I heard the new runescape is good for a more casual experience Did not know they got rid of pvp
Comment from : @ohmally34

I quit because of micro transactions
Comment from : @Jeffrey9In4Chains

Them facial expressions 😂
Comment from : @MMAproAtGOLF

I tried making an account and it didn't work brIs Runescape still available to play?
Comment from : @darialinderssen1572

started runescape last week Most fun I had ever
Comment from : @1OnlyOneOnlyOne1

I remember the “We pay to PK” riots back when I was like a 4th grader 😂
Comment from : @AD-wg8ik

So you're saying i should try old school now? I was playing the new one and had way too much fun Guess i know what to try todayyyy 😅
Comment from : @chargedpanic5979

Runescape was the best game i ever played Loved it as a kid
Comment from : @Neutronfrappucino

Omg mr mammal has hair now?
Comment from : @ChiHoyle

Bro I'm so close to having enough for a bond
Comment from : @Zjelli1

I started playing RuneScape when my sister and her boyfriend pissed of the clan and they got kicked out of there own clan so they changed there name and add unsuspected me to a new one 😂brbrHonestly I would spend hours regardless I always wondered what happened to some of my RuneScape buddies
Comment from : @Dolly956

Bro you can play it on your phone its awsome
Comment from : @viewer930

Don’t understand how you’ll show a pvp clip when it seems like 90 of the community despises anything wilderness related?
Comment from : @micarxsjr

This guys a deepfake bot
Comment from : @Fridge_Fiend

It was the “let’s be wow” for me
Comment from : @NigelShelby

Forgot to mention the micro transactions that went so bad that you could basically buy 99s that requires hours of game play
Comment from : @96Tauan

I think one of the only reasons people play RS3 anymore is to make money for bonds, because it's maybe 1/10th the amount of time required to earn a bond in RS3 than OSRS due to the insane price of a bond now and since they just upped the cost of one by a dollar the GP price will just keep increasing
Comment from : @virtualnuke-bl5ym

Literally every game would be the funnest thing ever if they copied osrs Imagine a halo mmorpg split up between humans and the covenant You start off as a marine or a grunt and end game is master chief or the arbiter You could progress with jackals, brutes, ODST characters etc the osrs formula works for anything!
Comment from : @xubious

Any game that has devs who play osrs like actually play the end game and pvp… I’m checking that game out every time
Comment from : @xubious

Gaming is dead They just care about putting as much buyable cosmetics etc Into the game instead of focus on build a good game
Comment from : @iWILLLIVE52

I remember the first time I saw that game I thought it was trash until I tried it and got hooked 😂 That game is a gem and there is no other like it
Comment from : @xr1650

You guys do realize that without eoc there wouldn’t even be anymore RuneScape they were broke and nearly going to sell that game but they introduced that to entice new and more players and introducing squeal of fortune literally brought them out of bankruptcy
Comment from : @tannerkerfes354

Thought this was Mr Mammal talking at first
Comment from : @le2owens

Bro just leave us with our boomer graphic 🤣
Comment from : @1futur334

I remember when the combat update happened I was like wtf happened
Comment from : @thomaslodger7675

Because eoc ruined the game Also rs3 is fucking dog shit
Comment from : @wearwolf4202

I wish I could sit and recover stamina faster
Comment from : @PulledPurk

I've been playing rs3 I tried osrs and I enjoy the nostalgia but it's very lacking
Comment from : @JJohnston4Life

Ironman is GOATED
Comment from : @captainscuffs3003

I’ve been playing for 15 years and Rs3 is better
Comment from : @HitStick187

I quit the day of EOC and did not come back until OSRS mobile
Comment from : @PutridXII

ITS BECAUSE RUNESCAPE 3 IS F KING GARBAGE
Comment from : @無名兄弟-i7m

I prefer Rs3
Comment from : @damianspeyerer5895

Well eco and the wheel destroyed it At that point RS lost what made it special and became another desperate WoW clone
Comment from : @bkroberts89

i would play it if there was wilderness pvp that would make the game actually exciting because in my opinion its quite boring
Comment from : @joelbrownlie3274

Played runescape when I was a kid and played without membership and still had a lot of fun with it I didn't even know membership was a thing but still didn't enjoyed the game
