Old thread is pretty old so thought I'd make a new one and see if anyone is still playing.

Have been on and off with playing and haven't been able to play too much because of school and volunteering but slowly working to max.

99 herb/craft/summoning is banked just waiting to finish 99 range/att/slayer then will speed through them leaving me only easy grinding skills left, hopefully finish up by the end of the year, for invention I plan on hording items and going from 53 to 120 right away instead of doing it over time.

Also at 72m agility and going for 104m (for the new 120 master skill capes) slowly..

It used to be fun and cool but they ruined it with the "evolved combat" and it has just been going downhill ever since.

Pre-eoc runescape was better.


I was able to use adamantite armour but when eoc came I had to use mithril again and I was like wtf?

The limitations for free users have always been ******ed to me though.  

Not as active as I was back in August due to uni, but I always try and get a few hours in in the weekends.

You can switch to Legacy combat? Aswell as download the Old School Runescape client.  

Old RS?  

Woah looks a ton different than I remember it  

My oldschool runescape accounts I currently play on:

Spoiler

My main account which I mostly just use to PvM so I can afford my membership through bonds.
My current goals on that account are max melee stats and 99 slayer.
Username: Eugeen



A hp pure I just started on 2 days ago, getting 99fm because the method I use to train it (wintertodt) is the easiest when you still have 10hp.
Username: Healthy Man

(Still need the boots for the full firemaking outfit, got the gloves in my bank)

My Runescape 3 account I never really play on:

Spoiler

I quit when EOC hit and even though I've tried to get into RS3 several times after that it never felt right.
Too many microtransactions that boost your exp etc on there nowadays anyways.

I have way more accounts than these but most are just old useless alts with veteran capes on rs3 and my oldschool rs accounts are just mostly crappy pures and a hcim I lost interest in.


Feel free to add me in-game, I'm mostly on username Healthy Man right now to grind out 99 firemaking in the upcoming few days/week.  

Hmu on; ItsPoob  

Is NEW RS even worth?

not unless you find it possible to get into.

If you mean RS3 with new rs then probably not  

haven't played much at all in the last 6 months  

Runescape 3 is much more fun and engaging than OldSchool Runescape.

OSRS combat so boring and generic, with RS3 it's more engaging with better mechanics and the use of abilities which makes combat and PvM leagues better than OSRS because we have more room when it comes to designing boss mechanics given our advanced combat mechanics.

No argument for why Runescape 3 is bad exists, besides false information about 'MTX' (microtransactions). Runescape 3 is NOT pay2win, MTX allows you to level faster yes, but you can easily max every skill without it (which by definition voids the pay2win argument).

You don't win by having 99s anymore either, even 120, hiscores were filled long before MTX came around so no one will get a good ranking on hiscores just because of MTX. PvM, questing, completionist cape, etc, can not be achieved or done with MTX - only by playing the game.

Fact is Runescape 3 is much more advanced both graphically and mechanically, just comes down to personal preference.

P.S no one cares about others online achievements even on OSRS, which is the main reason people dislike 'MTX' cause it voids their achievements lol  

if you play osrs and dont have 82 con wyd??

eoc sucks

the required level of everything got raised whch made me bump down a tier and overall level got raised for everyone too which does not effect what you can or can't equip so moral of story eoc made it worse.

That cringe worthy long tutorial at the beginning they have now is stupid in older days you just got plopped in and had to figure stuff out yourself now every game holds your hand someway or another and runescape counts in that because of it's pointless tutorial that I know exists because I once made a new account (but forgot the password anyways lol.)

And even in older days non-members didn't and don't have access to enough and you had and have to be a member to do anything that was cooler than stuff free members can do.

Which makes sense but still, free members finally got access to some more stuff a few years back but members still have too much more than free members have access to.
