i play osrs pretty casually, but it's "active" in the sense that there are a good amount of players, but they aren't as talkative as they were in the past. I think it's a lot of bots or something

the game itself is basically the same as runescape 2 but there's a trading center in it called the grand exchange. idk if that was added in 3, or part of 2 and it was added after i stopped playing.
I think it was added in RS2 like a year or 2 before they went to HD with 3. And yeah, before the Grand Exchange, everyone went to World 1 Varrock to do trades lol. It was pretty hectic >_>

Old School is still amazing. And you can play it on phone or tablet. Highly, highly recommend.

OSRS puts any game changes up to a poll where the member community has to vote on it favorably before anything gets implemented. It's a great way to run a community where nostalgia is a huge driving force behind the game's popularity, and where unwanted and unasked for changes are what killed RS3.

runescape 3 is alright, but i don't like it as much. my character from runescape 2 transferred to 3, and then i had to start over at tutorial island when i logged into osrs. idk if there is a way to get around that.
Part of the reason why people are less talkative now is because so many are focused on efficiency rather than the social aspect. Also, scams have evolved significantly since the trimming armor! days and now involve a lot of social engineering, so usually its smarter to just stay quiet. Its unfortunate, but thats where were at. Also yeah theres still tons of bots lol.

I think the best bet if you want some people to chat with is to find a really good clan to join. The clan Im in is full of amazing people and they like to chat and chill.

Actually, you can rename yourself, change genders and stuff.
you have to go to some town near the wilderness/grand exchange.
I think the town is called Faldor, where youll find a witch that lets you change your appearance. You can change your username through another method dont remember it that well.

anyways, I tried to replay RuneScape as of lately it seems that people these days dont do pvp through the various game modes in this game.

I used to do certain quests just to get top of the line gear or magic spells simply for pvp.

really wish that having your own personal space wasnt exclusive to the subscription :/

also if you had a old account, and you try to play old RuneScape, youll find yourself back to level 1.

no idea why, you simply start from scratch

I had a hard time at first, but came to the conclusion that I just like playing the game. Starting over meant I could play the game more.

OSRS has two new large landmasses as well as better skilling/combat hubs. The low population limit for worlds in conjunction means some places look a lot more dead than the mid 2000s where it was a glorified chatroom.

Regarding things in RS3 that I wish were in OSRS, I wish OSRS had the quests RS3 has. For example, the Vampyre Quest Line is finished in RS3, although in OSRS it looks like there are two more quests to go, and it has been four years since a quest in that storyline dropped. Really hope that it finishes. Still though, with what has released so far in OSRS, there are things that were handled better. For instance, the fact that Vanstrom Klause is/was actually Ascertes Hallow was (barely) only hinted at in RS3, while it is front and center in the Sins of the Father quest. Also, I liked how Ranis Drakan was handled as well better in OSRS since you actually get to fight him whereas in RS3, Vanescula kills him off unceremoniously.

It should because I hadnt used my account in 5~6 years prior to 2019.
which was already around the time RuneScape had undergone many changes to the point where the game became available on mobile phones, there was a dedicated official servers for old RuneScape and stuff.

ive just been using the jagex launcher. you can choose runelite on it. idk if this launcher works on non-windows OS

also with the jagex account integration thingy i now officially own the account im using without worrying it being taken back lmao. a friend gave it to me in 2008. was originally an alt of his (so all my stats in OSRS are MINE but some of the stats in rs3 were trained by him a bit but never more than like level 60 iirc). he could have probably recovered it anytime before like yesterday basically. well at least im hoping it is unrecoverable now with these extra measures

I dread doing farming. I might just play that minigame that can net 100k xp an hour. I'm quite limited in my farming spots because i only have 32 quest points

But idk maybe I can make the spots I have work it'll just take many months of doing them daily but im too impatient
