Looks comfy. Never played Runscape btw. Watched my mom do it, though.

The game is basically a desktop pet. It's 2nd or 3rd monitor stat gains. Thats not a negative btw, thats why I like it

>>724848520 (OP)
Didn't they only play that browser ass looking game cause they could not afford $15 for a WoW subscription? So they developed some Stockholme syndrome during those years?

>>724848520 (OP)
doesn't seem any different to turn based games or morrowind's combat

>>724848520 (OP)
No it's not, where are all the iron and coal rocks?

>>724848520 (OP)
this game is trash how do retards still tolerate this

Whoa there, cowboy.

Why isn't he dodge rolling?

>>724848520 (OP)
Yo this gameplay is fire!

looks cozy

just watch a movie or your favorite chink cartoons while you click on shit bruv

>>724848701
The op webm? Those are all the fags that were doing classic wow that pretended they liked RuneScape for a month because their views dropped after onlyfans died because half of wow streamers are charisma vacuums

>>724848701
If you think something being more expensive makes it better than I have a bridge to sell you.

despite having abysmal dogshit for gameplay, runescape is the ultimate delayed gratification game

>>724848587
>>724849006
>Looks comfy
pve is comfy, pvp is anti-comfy those mfs are clicking like 40 things in one second, switching gear sets and flicking prayers on and off abusing server tick rates with high degrees of accuracy and autism

>>724848520 (OP)
The charm of runecape is having the freedom of being able to play it like that or like picrel depending on how autistic you want to be at any given moment in time

>>724848701
this is my take on runescape as well. the only people playing were the ones not able to convince their parents to pay for wow

>>724848520 (OP)
this is the equivalent gameplay stage of killing mobs in westfall
now let's see awakened leviathan

>>724848587
It was only fun with friends, after school.

>>724848701
>the only people playing were the ones not able to convince their parents to pay for wow
wow and rs comparisons are like comparing call of duty and like, fallout. they dont set out to attempt the same things.
runescape is like a point and click adventure game turned mmo, wow is like Everquest casual edition
here is one quest in runescape
>go talk to a guy and get a special shield
>go across the world to a wizards dungeon maze
>find a series of keys dropped by increasingly more difficult monsters to get a map piece inside said maze
>solve a cave riddle that involves going all over the place and collecting random items to get another piece
>get the last map piece from some dude in jail, either pay him lots of gold or kill him behind bars and you will have to get the map piece using teleport magic, assuming you leveled magic
>find a bunch of items and money then repair and charter a ship to the island
>recruit a captain to sail the ship, sail to and arrive on the island
>fight a dragon with the special shield
>killing the dragon grants you the ability to wear a certain class of armor
here is every quest in wow
>go kill 10 guys
>go collect 10 things

>>724849718
You do a RuneScape quest once every few weeks or months, that isn't the point of the game. 95% of the time you are killing mobs or farming for resources to either grind skills or money.

>>724849931
>You do a RuneScape quest once every few weeks or months
No.

If the vote for MTX removal from RS3 passes then I may give it a try, supposedly it's the best Ironman experience since there's a ton of shit you can do to train and progress gear.
I don't have an Iron on OSRS, shit looks way too boring and I already can tell the gear progression is shit but in RS3 it seems doable, OSRS can learn a thing or two from RS3

>>724850117
Nice try shill but I'm not playing RS3. The game is bad.

>>724849254
clicking excel spreadsheets is fun?

>>724850117
Last I recall, RS3 ironman already has zero mtx (besides auras, maybe? I doubt they're going)
I haven't played it in a very long time but yeah I did genuinely enjoy that a lot. I'd never, ever want to touch regular RS3 again, but maybe ironman again one day, to experience all the new content over the last decade.

>>724849931
>You do a RuneScape quest once every few weeks or months
Unless you've done them all (all 170 or so), you can pretty much do 100 quests in a row with ZERO grinding in between. Doing just quests basically self-sustains from the xp rewards, and allows you to unlock others.

>>724850234
Yes.

>>724850914
I don't remember sudoku looking like this

>>724850409
You're a weird man baby still playing RuneScape in 2025. When it was actually popular 20 years ago there was like 50 - 80 quest spread out over thousands of hours of grinding. It was not a major part of the game.

>>724851148
>>724851189
Since anon didn't provide context, this is from a computer simulation that sought to provide the mathematically fastest possible way to kill a recent boss. It utilised niche weapons and very unusual mechanics, resulting in a ~31% faster kill over the previous best method.

Here's what it looks like actually ingame:

>>724848520 (OP)
what's the issue here? looks comfy. seems like a game you would play while working on other stuff

>>724851304
What games do real men play

>>724851304
That's rude. And you're also wrong, RS peaked in... 2009? RFD was famously the 100th quest, and that was early 2006. There was probably 180 or so at its peak.
Getting the levels for quests, and then getting the unlocks from these quests, was always a massive part of the game.

>>724850409
>all 170 or so
you know runescape has over 300 quests, right?

>>724851368
Real men play female characters and erp in public chat in World of Warcraft.

>>724849718
>no no, in Runescape, you have to go somewhere and collect things, but in WoW, you collect things

>>724851437
The thread is about oldschool, so I assumed that post was too. OSRS has 174 quests.
RS3 apparently has 269 quests, so that's nowhere near "over 300" either.

RS always was poor man's UO, that's why it ended up more popular: third worlders and retarded kids.
This is not a cope btw, and I'm totally not mad or seething about this.

>>724851189
He's training four skills at once (Fire making logs, Cooking fish on those fires, Smithing Gold via Magic and then alching the Gold.) The game normally has a delay between actions for the same skill but abusing the fact that it's different skills here allows him to do a lot of stuff in rapid succession.
The tech in the webm while looking flashy is honestly impracticable for actual long term gameplay because of the precision needed and you also having to quickly bank for it.

>>724851189
well he's superheating gold bars while making fires while cooking karambwans obviously
It's just an autistic self-imposed challenge to come up with an extremely click intensive and precise bunch of actions that will impress other runescapefags, it's not even an optimal way of leveling

>>724851189
he's training 3 skills at the same time. multiple actions are squeezed into a single game tick to save on time. it's super autistic.

>>724851507
let me guess, you googled "runescape quests" and didn't understand that they have different categories and thought they were all the same
>so I assumed it was about osrs
well one game is called "Runescape" and the other is called "Old School Runescape" when someone says "Runescape" they mean the game called literally Runescape.

>>724851368
Mmorpgs are inherently a genre for children, RuneScape especially. They are intentional, flagrant time wasters that become almost offensive once you have anything else that you should be doing with your time. Most kids drop off RuneScape before they are 16, I remember discovering my friend was still playing it when he was 18 and thinking he had brain damage.

>>724848520 (OP)
The only reason I never played this is because it looks awful

>>724851692
The OP is literally about OldSchool. The guy I replied to was in a conversation talking about old (not RS3) quests.

>let me guess, you googled "runescape quests" and didn't understand that they have different categories
Nigger what are you talking about, I'm playing OSRS right now, I can see how many quests there are. 174.

>when someone says "Runescape" they mean the game called literally Runescape.
RS3 has like 5% the playercount, people typically mean OSRS. Why are you getting so bent out of shape, you're the retard claiming either of the games has 300 quests (neither do), you clearly have no idea about anything.

>>724851885
>took a screenshot
>didn't attach it
Classic

>>724851885
no they don't lol
OSRS is OSRS and runescape is runescape, its very simple.
what a weird distinction you are making.

what is the first thing that comes up when you google "runescape"?
such a strange hill to die on.

>>724851412
I had stopped playing RuneScape long before 2009, you are also skipping the fact that most quests were locked behind a membership fee and the vast majority of players were children who played hundreds of hours for free. Even when you became a member it never felt like quests were the focus. I'm sure now it's completely different because nobody plays this shit they have to give you activities to do on your own

>>724851952
In the context of this thread, a thread about OldSchool RuneScape, I think it should be pretty clear what people are talking about.
They're either talking about the old version of the game (how RuneScape was in 2007), or the more modern re-release of that same period.

>>724852069
>because nobody plays this shit
it's literally hitting all-time player peaks though anon

>>724852094
where are you getting that it is explicitly about OSRS?
take your meds you absolute schizo.

>>724851780
You and most people, it's impossible getting friends to try out the game because of how it looks.
They're working on an optional "HD" upgrade but I don't know if what they showed will be enough, I definitely think they should prioritize getting a good, stylized, HD version out because right now it's hurting the potential growth of the game a lot.

>>724852163
Look at the OP? Literally scroll up?

>"this is what runescapefaggots think is good gameplay"
>it's a webm of OSRS

>the first reply to the thread also refers to it as just "Runescape" (not OSRS like your pedantic ass would insist)

>>724852136
Ohhhh it became a mobile game and probably has an entirely new player base of children. I shouldn't even be in this thread, the game I played and what exists now is completely different and I'm probably talking to 15 year olds who are playing it for the first time.

>>724852272
so why would "runescape" refer to OSRS if no one calls it that?
When you just say runescape the only game you can be referring to is the game called explicitly that. If you need further clarification you can say OSRS and RS3, but no one does that unless they are talking about different eras of the game (pre EOC, EOC, RS3, classic, etc) as there isn't any confusion.
Its Runescape and Old School Runescape, its quite clear and its strange how fixated on this and how much you are contradicting yourself.

>>724852490
>player base of children
>15 year olds
The average player is 27-32 years old and I'm sure you are well aware of that, anon

>>724852572
>so why would "runescape" refer to OSRS if no one calls it that?
?? Anon did you just ignore my post?
The very first posts of this thread prove that people do call it that sometimes. In confusion or otherwise (because nobody plays RS3).

And why are you getting so hung up on this, I was talking about quests or something originally. You're just looking for things to get angry about.

>>724848520 (OP)
I'd love a game that looks like OSRS but has combat closer to Diablo.

>>724848701
no, runescape is the best game on the market for autists who want absurdly long grinds in games with large playerbases and strong communities
wow never scratched that itch

>>724852668
it seems the only person causing confusion is you, because you are going out of your way to misunderstand people and what they are talking about and trying to talk about different things because of it.
its very simple, the games are called "Runescape" and "Old School Runescape" and this is how they are referred to everywhere, in game, by the communities, officially, etc
When you google "Runescape" Runescape comes up, not OSRS, I understand you are going out of your way to ignore points, but Runescape is Runescape, this isn't up for debate no matter what kind of weird fixation you have.

>>724852176
I'm done with grindy games anyway now but even if I wasn't it would need to update more than some textures to attract me in 2025, it would need a completely different artstyle.

>>724852591
Based on what? Reddit polls for balding Millenials? The target demo for RuneScape has always been young teens, if it's hitting all time highs I cannot see how this isn't among the target demo.

>>724851692

Ex-wow players migrated

>one group of friends in highschool would play RS
>whenever i'd see them playing, it was just grinding. whenever i heard them talking about it, it was largely about levels or grinding
>other group had wowchads (myself)
>we all raided together, did pvp together after school, and random shit
i'm glad RS exists for those people out there because they seem to genuinely love it, but by fucking god does it look like the most unfun shit possible. i get the appeal about the game, but the core gameplay itself just does absolutely nothing for me.

maybe one of these days i'll give it a whirl but i just don't have the time to sink hours into something like that as an adult anymore. ah well.

>>724849718
Here's actually what runescape quests are like

>talk to another guy
>Voice acted NPC hero character shows up and tells you to talk to another guy

u have never played runescape, have you?

>>724852801
>no matter what kind of weird fixation you have.
Anon you're the one bringing this shit up, I was just innocuously talking about quest numbers or something. Is this all just some sort of deflection to try and steer conversation away from your embarrassingly incorrect claim on how many quests there are?

And again, this very thread is proof that people often think of old runescape (either actual 2007-era RS or OSRS), not RS3, when the term is used.

>>724852960
>>724853163
>Voice acted NPC hero character
this nigga is playing rs3 in the year of our lord 2024 lmao poor guy

>>724852960

This is where we reassert the distinction between Oldschool Runescape and Runescape 3
Remember, Oldschool Runescape takes place in the Runescape, Runescape 3 takes place in Gielinor

>>724851751
That didn't answer my question. What games do real men play?

>>724853045
seething wow player lmao, OSRS is literally a top 3 MMO

>>724851780
My whole class in school used to play the older version.
Then they upgraded to this thing >>724848520 (OP) and most of them stopped because their family PCs couldn't handle it anymore

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97eaSJVk1xI

i played runescape from 2003 to 2013 and it never did anything like that

>>724853696
those are some great tits on that rune knight

I didn't grow up with ghetto PC. When it was time to play MMOs, I played vannila wow with rogue for world pvp. I didn't waste time with these html browser MMOs toaster owners did, because I wasn't poor.

>>724852813
>I'm done with grindy games
What do you play now instead? I'm scared of the day where my passion for these games is gone.

so many great older games and shitty Runescape is the one to survive

I wish NosTale were still a thing

When I stopped MMOs I cleared my backlog of CRPGs and was quite amazed by them being actual RPGs. Now I play a large variety of games depending on my mood.
And my "passion" (more of an addiction really) didn't wear off. I just don't have time anymore to play these games 12 hours a day and I don't feel like I'm progressing if I don't.

>>724853163

>>724853224
There's literally zero reason to play OSRS over RS3.

>>724848520 (OP)
This is like a little kid version of UO, right? I never played it.

Vertical design in MMOs is dead. If every 6 months everyone is brought to the same powerlevel to begin the powerscaling treadmill all over again, the time investment quickly loses value and the game is doomed.
Barrows is 20 years old and every new account still goes and farms 100 barrows chests or more to get some armor because it's an excellent upgrade. If you did barrows 7 years ago and stopped playing and log in today that barrows armor will still be as good as it was back then. OSRS is KING

>>724855226
you've already made it clear that you've never played runescape, and that your opinion can be completely discarded

>>724853509
Insecure question to ask, when someone points out that bluey cartoons are for children you don't get people defensively asking you to name the million series that aren't, it is an objective statement. You want me to go down the list and name every genre that isn't for 10 year olds? Racing sims, flight Sims, space sims, fighting games, rts, immsims, boomer movie slop, 4x, srpg's, and on and on.

RuneScape is, from the admission of the developer themselves for children and young teens. The go to cope for every 35 year old man still playing shit like Pokémon or RS is that all games are for children. No, not all games are Roblox or Fortnite tier kids media. Mmorpgs are for children with unlimited free time.

>>724855406
Nowadays (since RS2 in 2004) not really, UO is way more sandbox and player-driven and limited in content. You'd compare UO more to like Rust but with RPG stats and builds, and a more persistent and fleshed out medieval fantasy world rather than comparing it to any current MMO really.

Why is it impossible for /v/troons to not be disingenuous in their critique of OSRS?

Jagex has always had a very nasty attitude when it comes to customer service. It's a thankless job, no doubt but holy fuck they take it to another level of useless.

You can only get the real OSRS experience with a xx90 series card

>>724848520 (OP)
Don't people ever stop and ask themselves why they're doing this? Nothing to learn. Nothing to experience. It's just a number that goes up with your age.

>>724856337
You do that so you can do the endgame, which is more engaging, but you likely already knew that.
It's just a time waster, like all video games.

>>724856409
>bro it's just all video games
No. Like I said. In many games you can experience new things or challenges. Or make it social. Well it's different as a streamer but I am talking about all those who just do this alone.

>>724848587

OSRS is just about the only social MMO left, and it's not like there's no challenge.
You're welcome to try some of the many training simulators for Colosseum or Inferno.
Alternatively PvP if you've got 200++ APM for it

What can scratch my "making your character not shit with comfy progression" itch that isn't an MMO?

>>724856758
Every roguelite and survivorlike numberslop game?

>>724856337
You underestimate poorfags ability to waste time. The reason why these games stayed afloat is because of third worlders, whose currency is so awful and their wages are so low its more profitable for them to farm in game materials. Now AI is a thing too so that doubles the bottings too. Add an entire generation, who doesn't possess any IRL skills, meeting other fuckups in game and you have a recipe for disaster.
If you are a fuckup and people come towards you, messaging you, trying to befriend you, that means they are bigger fuckups.

>>724856758
Scarlet Tower
Vampire Survivors
Event Horizon: Space Defense
dunno these are the games I've spent many hours recently thought I'd share with you

I guess you could also play bethesda games with mods

>>724856337
Most normal people do ask that and stop when they are 16. The rest are hyper autistic and never question the fact that they are wasting hundreds of hours to make numbers go up so they can make more numbers go up.

I've always wanted to play Runescape but like other MMOs it feels too much for a new player. I think I'd drown in what to do.

osrs looks so fucking boring but my friends love it, how the fuck do you get into it?

I never got a godsword in runescape and never got ancient magic or a d scimitar or any of that stuff
I never got a 99

no idea how people still play the game without them.

>>724859041
Autohotkey still implies it's actual players, in reality anything PVP is infested with bots

>>724848520 (OP)
this is the equivalent of killing low level quest mobs in wow one by one spamming frostbolt

If you played OSRS you would know it has some of the most unique quests in MMO's, the dialogue is top notch, and doing it without a guide takes some actual brains

rs3 ironman already has zero microtransactions, and you will get the auras you need/want by the time they become actually relevant.

the big issue i have with rs3 is how obtuse the combat still looks visually. they have so many layered particle effects and the animations are constantly starting and cutting, as if they didnt know they were designing for .6 tick system.

you will cast one ability as a ranger, have your
>character glow
>weapon glow (different color)
>see two different projectiles shoot out (single damage splat ability)
>enemy glows
>enemy gets chain effect wrapped around it
>enemy gets explosion particle effect

and all of this is happening like, nearly twice a second. that combined with how much it feels like the character is sliding around on ice skates, it is shocking how bad they made the game feel to click around in and hit enemies on. this sadly isnt something that the "cosmetic override free" worlds can fix either, since its just how the game looks default

>>724851609
its "optimal" in the sense that it is giving him the highest exp per hour flatly overall. nobody would do this for leveling though, because you can do all of these individually and its still reasonable to get 99 in all 4 of these skills, except maybe superheating gold.

DESU he should be fletching darts in there too, but he's too casual

>>724848520 (OP)

>>724859398
barrows is "instrumental" for irons who dont want to suffer through the microscopic grind of doing moons in rune armor instead of veracs or whatever.

its still completely dead content since it is entirely skippable if you are willing to slow down one of the smallest grinds in iron by a marginal amount so that you can get the same tier gear as god wars dungeon gives (or literally better if you are ranging)

the fucking midgame fucked everything up, they didnt need to blast the best power armor all the way up until you start killing yama in a boss you can do before getting a defender, that shit is so fucking lame.
same with atlatl. we had a ton of alternatives to rune crossbow already, we just had zero ways to make them fucking work, because ammo gathering was either manually hunting sunlight antelope, or buying tens of thousands of bolt racks because they still dont work with ava's for some reason, or dumping millions of gold into recharging a crystal bow

>whining that the objective most successful and most popular franchise in the world (pokemon) has a "target demographic"

It's one of those things where if you weren't playing it on browser when you were like 10 you sorta missed the boat. Had some friends try to recruit me "bro it's fun" I'm like...look at it. Sorry I'm not a graphics whore by any stretch but I have standards at the end of the day

I wonder why? Anyway, the actual answer is diet, missing micro-nutrients in particular

>>724865818
>I won't even try a game my friends are playing because the graphics aren't epic enough for me
What are you, twelve?

Also the "OSRS survives off of nostalgia" angle was disproven a decade ago. The game released for that very reason ("the good old days"), and within months of launch it was fucking dead. Less and less players each week.
Then it started getting updates, and more players joined. Then more. Now it's at an all-time high, 12 years after launch. It hasn't needed nostalgia, it's winning on its own merits.

>>724866035

Just genes, anyone saying diet and oils are those really strange looking people you see out who should shave it off, but are too deluded by advertisements thinking theyre going to grow it back. They purposely do not to look at the back of their head under any circumstance. Truth is it takes lots of generations with different women to change bald genes. Plus, shows girls we're manly.

MMOs were originally built to be social hubs before we had social hubs and having 1 to 2 buttons allows the player to play and be social. The more buttons you add into an MMO the more the social aspect is ripped from the MMO because now you are forced to do rotations instead of being able to talk. You see motherfuckers talking in the middle of M+? Fuck no because motherfuckers are busy smashing ten button rotations meanwhile I can load up an old MMO 1 to 2 button MMO at this VERY moment and hop in a group and everyone will be chatting with each other.

>>724863375
I don't know where you've been, but it's one of the most overused jokes/forced memes in the RS community.
Yes, experience-wise, 92 is factually halfway to 99, but these idiots bring it up in random situations the same way kids meme 9 + 10 = 21, 6 7 or 69

>>724867042
it's not even true because at 92 you have access to much faster xp/h methods than at 1 or 30 or 50 or even 70

>>724862694
DT2 sucks solely because it has no reward. sure feels bad doing a quest for 5 hours to get a 300k xp in combat lamps and nothing else.
>inb4 b-b-b-b-b-but it allows you to grind 1000 hours for 1/5000 drops that's the reward!
stfu retard

>>724870006
I mean DT2 is great because it's a fantastic quest, I don't know why you want more.

>4 bosses to farm (for rings, soulreaper axe, or just pets if you're a main)
>several pieces of BiS are only equippable after the quest

The rewards are fine

>>724870006
You get a ring with magic and ranged accuracy and unlock Scar for RC. What else do you want?

>>724848701
You also need a subscription to access 90% of runescape.

>>724870201
>4 bosses to farm (for rings, soulreaper axe, or just pets if you're a main)
AS I FUCKING SAID, unlocking mind-numbing grinds isn't a reward. the fact that the axe components aren't tradable and if you get one it's literally useless unless you grind the other 3 bosses should be studied in game design courses on what not to do.
>300k prayer xp
you made a big mistake if you used those on prayer. prayer is 3m xp/hr why the fuck would you use it on prayer?

>>724870414
>You get a ring with magic and ranged accuracy
that ring is worse than 100k gp dagannoth rings

Your entire post is from the perspective of a mainoid who can only view everything in gp values, and can't think beyond that. That's rather sad.

>>724870978
listen cuckman. the Gower brothers (peace be upon them) designed this game with the idea of trade. not my problem that you fell for redditor memes and now need to gaslight yourself into thinking you're having fun doing one boss for 1000 hours

ironman is fun though (only in rs3. I think osrs is for losers)

>>724848520 (OP)
I unironically wish they designed new content like this but I get why they don't.

>>724869493
Most MMOs are just theme park rides where you go from one attraction to another. OSRS just throws you into a sandbox world and lets you do what you want.

>>724871439
the problem is that the quest gives no rewards, as I've said.
if it gave 300k agility xp I wouldn't be saying anything. but 300k combat xp and nothing else for the longest and hardest quest in the game is insulting.

>>724871957
>the quest gives no rewards
>Oh, all of those rewards? No those don't count because I don't like them or they don't personally impact me much as a maxed main

guys just go play rs3 its way better than osrs

i've watched a shit ton of videos recently and i am somewhat tempted to try it, however, whenever i see combat and the way the game looks it always makes me reconsider, but i genuinly want to at least give it a try, onlt because i want some old school mmo vibe

i tried runescape back in highschool but thought it looked too ugly to bother playing.
i started playing black grimoire cursebreaker lately and its pretty fun in a strange way. its supposedly like a singleplayer runescape. should I give runescape another go after all these years?

>>724870912
No it doesn't retard, here's your (You)

>>724872714
You play for the skills, world, and quests. Combat only matters when you get to endgame shit like 1000+ hours in. Before then it's mostly just a vehicle for the above 3.

>>724848701
Ignore all the fags trying to tell you all the "merits" of the game, it's all part of a kayfabe because Runescape is only popular as a speculation market. Due to direct cash value comparisons and conversions of in-game items the overwhelming majority of the "player"base just make multiple accounts purely to build up cash-value items or to sell the accounts wholesale. The only difference between them and CS knife-fags is that Runescape's devs don't care that they've turned into a bank. Shitch streamers got into it the same way they got into CS and Pokemon cards: Quick money schemes, often-times sponsored by slavic and Asian cartels.

The MMO genre as a whole is on life support, yes. It's basically just 3 games, all of which are hard carried by nostalgia.

Pretty much, and funnily enough one of the big reasons that WoW was so big as well is because it could run on potato PCs back then.
So games like runescape, Tibia were the poor poorfag games. They mostly became big because you could play them in a library PC and browser without any download etc.

>>724848587
I remember that some years ago I was on a rs clan and there was a female that helped me a lot to level up and just talk shit while grinding bullshit skills.
Apparently she was a 45yo mother of 4. After telling me this she wanted me to talk with her 12 yo son because the kid was going edgy and depressed because "muh puberty".
She was actually very convincing and I end up talking with the kid. Made a few "your mom" and told him to stop being edgy, that everything will be fine, eventually.
True story.

Old 4chan hivemind (2000's) told me Runescape was bad, so I avoided it. Simple as that. You're all newfags

>>724849512

It really does perplex me how people keep saying OSRS is a massively successful and popular "MMO." I was competing with bots at tin ore almost immediately after getting off of Tutorial Island.

Most armor is just a texture, amulets aren't modelled at all.
Nothing to do in a zone if you are not the right level.

The only real thing you can do is whack mobs and collect some materials on the side.
What would be a single quest in Runescape is a whole quest chain in WoW.
I am sure that it is exhilarating to run high level dungeons and raids with a good group, but my expectations of an MMORPG were really skewed it seems.

Even if I don’t prefer the gameplay of end game bossing in osrs I vastly prefer the small teams and ability to solo, I don’t have to waste hours because one cunt fails to show up and the shitty pug replacement or whatever sucks ass

>>724890828
I played WoW for the first time around 2010ish, on a WoTLK private server, very low pop.
I think I had played some other MMO WoW clone before, most likely some Korean F2P shit.
I thought there would be more to the "Biggest Game in the World".
The only WoWclone I have managed to invest some semblance of time in has been LOTRO, and barely any time at all.
The early game is pretty good (although easy), the world is great looking, but seeing videos of high level characters doing 100k basic damage attack really put me off.
>>724891094
For me, it's the fact that in Runescape you can just dick around and go do something else.
In LOTRO I can either quest or go kill monsters to level, or I can try to do my skills which requires me to be a certain level anyway.
While the average person just reads guides and minmaxes anyway, Runescape does offer a bunch of retarded limitations you can place on your character which forces you to play differently, and RS has accommodations for that.

>>724890649
The most exciting part is going to be going around to the twenty or thirty random islands and just seeing what's there. Even if there's nothing useful the novelty of finding new shit is going to be pretty cool and something you can only do once.

>describing RS3
when people say "Runescape" these days, it is much more likely to refer to OSRS. the shift has been somewhat recent hogus, but it comes as a result of OSRS beating RS3 in player count, money earned, and social media exposure for several years now. Also the split between the two versions is ancient history at this point.

>>724851412
>RS peaked in... 2009
Player count wise it peaked this year

rs3 is actually a good game tho especially if u play iron. heck we even have group iron now and they start off with all auras.

>>724852782
What community? People in runescape don't talk to randoms anymore. Half the players are bots.

>>724853696
runescape 2 changed the game too much... it used to be all about 40 attack str pures with two handed weapons. You didn't have to do these knockouts, you just needed to strategy 3 rounds of combat

>>724856794
Can confirm, played MMOs for nearly 2 decades, got into suvivorlike shit, feels nice to unlock stuff without grinding for 200 hours.

>>724848520 (OP)
My entire "friend" group is completely fucking obsessed with Runescape and I H A T E it. I don't really talk to them anymore. Runescape made me a loner without ever even playing it.

I mean a significant amount of the players would've been perfectly content with a 2009 or 2010 rs. they have cut so much out of the game that was actually good...

The only good aspect of WoW is the atmosphere, if you truly immerse yourself in the experience. The issue is that the average player has no interest in immersion. When WoW released, it was impressive despite being designed to run on potatoes. The concept of being in the literal world of Warcraft - with hundreds, thousands of other players - was what interested people in WoW. Even though MMOs existed before this, it was many gamers first exposure to the genre.

WoW and OSRS have, in a sense, suffered the same fate: the novelty of the MMO wore off, and when it did the magic of sharing a game world with other players was stripped away, leaving only mechanics and players interested in optimizing those mechanics. The difference is that OSRS's mechanical design is rock fucking solid underneath its deceptively dog shit appearance. The breadth of relevant content is absurd, and it all interlocks in a very satisfying way that encourages you to constantly consider and reconsider what you actually want to do within the game world.

I've gone back and forth between WoW, RS, and other MMOs since I was a kid, and RS is the only one that I think is actually well-designed. Everything else is pathetically shallow and doesn't respect the time and effort you put into it. That's actually why I stopped playing OSRS, because it tricks you so effectively into thinking it's worthwhile because of how it's structured.

i never fell for the armor trimming but I did fall for wildy luring once.
I never had anything worth shit. Scammers back then really did it just for the love of the game.

>>724898515
I fell for the straw buyer scam which to be fair is the highest IQ scam there is an actually used in real life

>>724848520 (OP)
pure slop made for retarded people ke

for me? it was picking fights with other people over general chat until getting muted (i had Members maybe once or twice and never actually gave a shit about stats)

>>724848520 (OP)
hahaha people will defend this

>>724858225
this is BS, if he wanted people at his 99 party he could have just asked people on his friends list or even got a few people bank standing to come along.

>>724848520 (OP)
LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD
RUNESCAPE PLAYERS LOOK LIKE THAT!?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

>>724898515
Honestly a good chance to learn to become jaded to that kinda stuff. Just the right level of important to make sure the lesson sticks, and not important enough for it to matter in the long run.

>>724852896
the game is made by brits, obviously it's going to have a pronoun thingy

>>724899030
So does RS3 just rip off OSRS now?

>>724899139
they both take from each other anyway, osrs just ususally reskins it

>>724899038
Actually true
>>724898602
Also that happened to me
Sucks being a retarded kid
And because of that i was the only one from the runescape group of my school that actually maxed a combat skill, free to play. I was doing the pk after that.
>>724898619
I actually fell on purpose for the "doubling money" scam and my money was actually doubled. The next guy got fucked though. Lel

>>724899139
Both games take things from each other. OSRS has taken a different path and will NEVER have The Sixth Age and the shit that followed from that, but it's still supposed to be fundamentally the same world, more or less.
>RS2 has The Fight Kiln
>OSRS makes their own version of The Fight Kiln with The Inferno and Zuk
>RS3 uses Zuk for their version of Fight Caves 3 in GWD3
>Everyone likes Gigachad Zuk in RS3 so they borrow some of that lore for OSRS
There are some things that will probably never cross over between games, but there's no issue with things like OSRS adding Strykewyrms and Aquanites with the Sailing update.

osrs sucks and is where the soul goes to die.

have fun with sailing.

how do you afford membership for multiple characters?

I wanna play a main, hcim, hcgim, and uim but that would be $400 a year...

>>724903428
farm endgame items
sell on ge
buy bonds

If bonds are real world trading but so is buying membership with irl money how do you play the game

>>724890649
I only care about getting rich around sailing. Repair kits, which are the boat version of food, require 5 planks every time you want to heal and mahogany ones will be the most commonly used price to heal ratio. Does anyone know if you actually need 84 construction for rosewood boats on mains? If so, planks are still extremely underpriced.

>>724848520 (OP)
game is absolute trash. nothing but grind

>>724867175
RS3 probably one of the worst UI's I've ever seen.

>>724848520 (OP)
>it's 2025 and this game has more players now than during its "golden age" two decades ago
actually insane

>>724906475
it's a disingenuous statement. it has more bots than ever.

>>724905435
>>724906548
Third world case

OSRS is weird to me because it's just not the Runescape I used to play.
It's supposed to be the same game with changes that are faithful but I think the culture changed so much and it's an MMO so that effects a lot.

>>724906720
yes OSRS is nothing like the RS we grew up with, even compared to 2010 and 2011 RS.

>finally get infernal cape
>have no desire to touch the game since
Should I play again? How alive is the wildy now?

>>724906548
Not as many bots as back then

>>724906720
that might be because the game you used to play got about 12 years worth of updates on top of it

>>724906916
12? I think you mean like 18. For a lot of people 2007 RS isn't what they grew up with at all, but instead, the 2008-2011 era.

>>724888839
Valve pissing money away

space and time are not real. we are all one consciousness.

>>724907358
experience this dick consciousing in your mouth

>>724907358
that's cool. what's your woodcutting lvl?

>>724907443
I don't play runescape

>>724907358
And?

>>724907520
I thought we were all one consciousness? If I play it, then you play it. You have 87 woodcutting by the way.

>>724848520 (OP)
Go kill the whisperer or leviathan then, faggot

>>724848520 (OP)
The good part was standing on the side of the road trying to sell your bronze armor for 10 minutes and no one buying it. Antisocial GEtards will never understand.

god runescape 3 fucking sucks. I really need to make the switch to OSRS already.

>>724902004
aquanites came out in 2009
strykes are from 2010

A lot of people who have been playing osrs for a decade at this point don't really remember what the game was actually like in the era people wanted osrs and there is reason many thought 2007 was too early to go back and how much post 2007 stuff was directly added

so much shit released within a year of GWD releasing and people act as if it only came out in like 2015 deep into rs3 when its solidly rs2 content.

>>724909310
well most people are fucking stupid so what do you know

>>724907735
>vscape
Congratz on your transition madam

What's the easiest combat skill to level to be able to safespot mobs for quests? It's so annoying how early game ironman guides basically say "kill this level 64 mob by safespotting even though you don't have any levels in combat skills and can't out dps their regeneration"

>>724848520 (OP)
It's at least 50% an idle game
The joy of the game is that you can do what you like and play at your own pace. There's no FOMO. All your gains won't be invalidated by a new expansion in 3 months time. You can just take it easy if you want.

>>724912905
level up ranged to 50, get a rune crossbow and make use of enchanted bolts

if the prospect of going into wildy to grind for a rune crossbow is too much, use a bone crossbow

>>724912905
Magic, unironically. Most early quest mobs have 1 defense so fire strike just btfos them all

>>724871228
Ironmemes are the vegans of OSRS

Step up nigga, take your best shot

>>724849254
look at those sexy ass xp drops tho

>>724912905
Magic is by far the strongest combat style early. Strike spells can hit 8s at level 13 Magic, Ranged and Melee don't catch up to Magic dps for a while.
Since the magic rebalance last year you don't even need to worry about getting extra runes to cast different spells, you can just stick with an Air staff and mind runes and use Wind Strike (unless the mob has an elemental weakness, which will make your damage even crazier).

>>724867175
The progression is all fucked up in RS3 and the worldbuilding is pure unfettered ass

>>724914018
yeah im the guy who keeps shilling rs3. even I know it sucks ass, but im in a bit of a bind because I also find OSRS to be ass.

both games suck.

decided to quit rs3 me thinks. its just not a very good game even though people may cope and say it is.

nothing feels intuitive, nothing feels rewarding. all the styles feel the same. the only good thing about the game is quests.
