New player here, I joined in December. I first tried both OSRS as well
as rs3 and realized that, while things looked nicer in Rs3 and I could
level quicker, there was more of a community in OSRS so I decided to
only focus on old school. My question is why is OSRS more well-known
than rs3?
I know that OSRS has a higher level of “classic” however, weren’t
long-time players’ accounts and progress saved on rs3 when they made
changes to everything? That is, didn’t they need to start over using
OSRS? Would this not encourage people to stay on rs3? My bf for example
is LVL126 on rs3 however 103 on OSRS. Thank you! I’ve been having fun
playing. The 50s are my current base.
Old-fashioned nostalgia and simple combat mechanics certainly drew
people to OSRS. The major changes to RS3 (particularly EoC) pushed lots
of players away. Doesn’t matter if you already had an account with a
lot of money on RS3. The game changed too much. Not a bad thing for
now, however I can still see why so many people abandoned their
characters.
Everyone is talking about evolution of combat. As in the special
abilities, you can use while fighting in rs3? I thought that kind of
made it less boring and more interesting, but I didn’t spend much time
playing around with it prior to committing to OSRS. It reminded me of
WoW slightly. Why isn’t everyone a fan of that? Was it just too
different?
It basically had the same style of combat as the majority of MMOs. Its
Old School-style combat style is distinct from the other games. With
its EoC, RS3 essentially became an ordinary mmo for some people.
It attempted to imitate WoW and its predecessors however, the other
aspects of RuneScape just don’t sit well using those combat techniques
IMO. If I had these kinds of mechanics, I’d just be playing WoW.
Beginning from scratch isn’t too bad it was just the beginning. The
early levels and exploring things you’ve missed are among the most
enjoyable parts. RS3 is just a different video game. They’ve drifted
towards each other a bit over the last five years, however RS3 remains
distinct and has a unique experience across the board. There’s also
more of a community appreciation for the devs on old school – things
still go wrong, however we believe they’ll get it right over time. In
rs3, they’re almost always having a fiasco going on that puts our
largest ones to buy Runescape gold shame.
