Runescape
 

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..

Share your current goals/achievement and drop your usernames below :)

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:

My Runescape 3 account I never really play on:

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.

You think the game is bad because you can't equip adamant armor? Only requires 40 defence which is super easy lol.. I could get base 40 all combat stats including prayer and summoning in one day, just have to get good dude (even on OSRS)

Update: At 94 range and about to hit 92 slayer (Airuts woo). Will probably hit 95 range before I log off tonight, also 16m constitution(HP) exp and 21m fishing done tonight too.

Took some time off to farm chaos elemental kills today (@300) since I want pet and get nothing, will do 300 more tomorrow.

EOC/Current Runescape is much better than OSRS, however it just doesn't feel like runescape and that's most people's problem. It's a better game, people just don't like change.
I personally prefer OSRS due to nostalgia however I do realise that EOC is a better game.

I think osrs is the better game and so do most people.
Our dev team works closely with the community and don't make promises they can't make true unlike what the RS3 team has done several times in the past.
We also aren't used as a cashcow unlike RS3 with a ton of MTX involving xp boosts in-game and don't deal with things like double xp keeping the achievement in reaching 99's in skills to a higher standard which in turn makes it feel like an actual accomplishment.
OSRS also has community events where anyone can join in, may it be deadmanmode for 10k/20k$ prizes, design contests or even ideas for future content.
Oldschool runescape also takes the leads in streaming and has a bigger playerbase in general due to the game being more enjoyable to play and watch for most people.

Either way though, what you end up playing is mostly down to personal preference and just because one game is "better" doesn't mean the other one is bad.
I absolutely love how skills like dungeoneering work in RS3 and I even found divination to be enjoyable due to the socializing with people there along the way.
Both have their ups and downs and as long as you enjoy it who cares really, we're all part of the same journey in the end.
Also, ethacons opinion on RS3 is super outdated and quitting just because you need 10 more levels at a low level(which is easy & only would have taken like 1-2 hours at his level) just means runescape isn't for you in general.


Anyways, just reached 90 firemaking on osrs and also finally got my boots to complete the pyromancer outfit.

Will probably reach 99 fm in a week or so since it's one of the easiest/fastest skills.
Once that's done I'm probably going to do some quests to unlock Kudo's in the varrock museum til I have 100 for acces to fossil island.
I might have to get like 70 agility before I can really do anything on the island though, need to get full graceful for weight reduction when I plan to do the agility/hunter minigame there.

This stuff will probably take 2-4 weeks of continuous grinding

It's not what I would have to do for it to not matter anymore it's the fact they did that in the first place.

The game was just fine, what isn't broken doesn't need fixed.

The game has not been the same either since that lumbridge God Battle.

I just don't like how much it has change.

I like change, change is nice sometimes but this was too much.

Levels were adjusted because it made more sense for the tiers that came with eoc to maintain the game in the long run.
It also helped them to adjust things like smithing and fit in higher tier gear because there was demand for it.
Either way I still think it's kind of stupid to claim the level change as one of the reasons for quitting when the stats you're talking about are possible to be obtained in the first day of an account.

I do agree on everything else you just posted though, eoc and everything after that changed the game too much hence why most people quit.

Ew who plays runescape anymore

I remember getting into OSRS because of that gnome child meme. I still play the game from time to time, and I do plan on getting the membership once I'm done with the free quests.

You should, once you get like 70+ melee or range stats + membership you can easily make money to afford a bond for 14 days of members in like 3-5 hours of playtime
With 90+ stats it will probably take as little as 3 hours or even less to obtain a bond

This is how I currently afford membership on 2 accounts by using my main

1-99 firemaking in 7 days of grinding lol

Got 60 agility on my hp pure so far, still need 2 pieces for full graceful.
I might just go for 70 agility and get enough marks to recolor the graceful set to white.
Not sure what else I'm gonna do at this point yet

Couldn't edit old post so had to make a new reply

Stats so far, getting fossils at a decent rate here.
Gained 15k hitpoints xp just for completing fossil displays today

The only annoying thing is that I can't use the exp lamps from large fossils unless I have 50hp already.
So it's gonna take a while to get my hp up further after completing all small+medium cases.

Run, escape

Got pet at 2204 kills, passed 17m HP exp and about 4-5 hours from 99 range and a couple more slayer tasks until 95 slayer (haven't done much PvM recently).

Got 15m prayer exp banked so grinding out until I hit 30m prayer exp now then I'll continue with combat.

Runescape to me right now is afking monkfish

Anyone still play?

Finally reached 104m agility exp, at 30M farming soon and 25.5m prayer as well.

All combat and slayer is 99 besides Summoning which is 96 and just playing for fun now doing 120 mage.

*sirens blaring in the distance*

On my way to maxing, might happen soon.

Haven't played runescape for like a year but I'm planning to come backk. I can't wait for the mobile version to come out

Do you only play RS3?

For now yes, mainly because my account is over 10 years old so I've already experienced that era and I actually enjoy the mechanics behind RS3 like EoC.

I'm older now so OSRS would probably be a lot more fun and enjoyable for me if I were to start playing but currently only have one laptop and can't play both at once so I'm sticking with RS3.

Once my new setup is finished I'll be playing both at once but most likely AFK training max on OSRS and focusing more on RS3.

Wanna play or discuss runescape? Add my discord: Haz3y#5783

What's uppp

IM or normal? Also doing Wintertotd I'm guessing? Just started this on my HCIM.

99 FM > Thieving > Agility is the very first thing I'm doing, then unlocking Misc for herbs and grinding Master Farmers for a while to do farm/herb runs while grinding out the other 99's. So by the time I reach end-game I'll be extremely well off with pots.

That was on a hcim, just a second account though, already got bored of it a while ago and been enjoying my main more

Not sure how much time I'll even have to play, but IM for me is way more enjoyable.

Like "oh I need to craft like 50k bloods to use" would make me enjoy it more than "oh I need to craft 50k bloods for exp" - like I'm just crafting them to use it and the EXP becomes a non-factor. You sorta just play the game and do everything on your own naturally so it just feels less grindy I guess

yeah ive been pretty close at times to starting an IM, decided to hold off until (hopefully) 2019 for group IM mode so me and the boys can reroll

Until then, fishing minnows on my phone + slayer (got fishing pet btw)

it’s cuffed szn fam I can’t be having any female avatars pop up on my phone screen, RIP RS mobile

I got wc pet the other day as well as firecape.
