Overall, I believe if your looking for an enjoyable and rewarding way to kill time whilst not taking things too seriously or OSRS gold maybe get involved with a decent online community, RS3 is your way to go. Than OSRS is the thing to do if your looking for a sense of achievement from all the time you have spent online. If you're looking for RuneScape with longevity though, I would propose RS3, despite it's own host of issues and despite what OSRS gamers will inform you, and want to believe themselves, OSRS is not going in a fantastic direction long term. Community wise, together with the toxicity of the community and the complete resistance to anything that messes with their nostalgia, Jagex will eventually have to choose between pleasing it's old player base and keeping their player base entirely.

What makes RuneScape great for me personally is dueling somebody on the Wilderness or hunting other players. PvM and skilling is complete shit 90 percent of the time. You will find items like raids and particular managers that can be fun but don't think they justify the huge amount of hours you have ta sit in your computer to grind. I don't think RuneScape is good when you need some sort of distraction to keep your attention from the boredom that can be a slayer task, fishing, agility, etc. I get that some people may enjoy low attempt pursuits but at precisely the same time, it is also a videogame, I do not get how game developers aprove of content that makes players look away from the monitor. I don't think I can ever explain any game I've ever played as something"I do on the side" it almost sounds like a part-time job.

Same is true for PvM, until you arrive at the tail-end of it, you will fight monsters exactly the exact same way for hours and hours. People today consider development as"numbers going up" but it lacks a whole lot of depth in just like 80 percent of it. Additionally, it is a encounter. If you're skilling for resources or training combat at certain areas it is almost like you need to avoid running into players since they may get in the way of your practice. I've met a lot of people but it's always exactly the same, maybe 1 dialog and I will never talk to them, CCs constantly discuss the same things as well. I will guess according to your title you made an account just to vent about RuneScape. It's ok, I have been there too.

I really like how osrs is a sandbox mmo in contrast to the traditional theme park mmo. I select my paths and work towards my own goals wether it's to grind a skill for a specific diary or a quest released 10 years ago with a good reward. I can leave and pick up RuneScape in 1 year old and I dont need to play catch up because I missed a ton of dailies or my equipment isnt considered outdated and shit since I missed 2 new dungeons or raids. I usually dislike mmos, particularly theme park mmos because I dont want to deal with them like another job/a job to maintain myself applicable. There is also no sentimental significance to plenty of those things because I know they're gonna become outdated in the upcoming big patch. In osrs I will get an infernal cape and use this shit with pride because it has been one of, if not the most prestigious thing in RuneScape for 3 years. Give me a mythical thing in WoW and it is going to become obsolete within another raid.

So I have seen people talk about playing Oldschool Runescape and enjoying it almost on a daily basis and that I wished to ask you guys this, should I enter Oldschool Runescape? What's something which makes it stand out among other MMORPGs. Can the free version have enough material to be worth it? Is this RuneScape I can enjoy solo or Old School RuneScape Gold is playing friends recommended? What do you enjoy about playing it? Try it out. It is very grindy time and though gated at things. It has nearly a cult like following and imo is actually a really fantastic game. You can 100% enjoy it solo and actually the only thing you want friends to get are if you want to get into late sport bossing(and to be societal ).
