On top of impeccable gameplay, RuneScape has become the godfather of socializing and creating enjoyable experiences with other players. Most friendships end up living outside of RuneScape and gaining their own life in the form of chats over Skype, Discord, and other Voice over IP services.

The various communities that have spawned from RuneScape should also be mentioned, as well. Many forms of online relationships have been founded on many platforms surrounding the RuneScape community. YouTube’s RuneScape Music Video, RuneScape Commentary, RuneScape Machinima/Comedy communities and more have been thriving for years on their respective platform. DeviantART and Tumblr’s RuneScape art community has also been around as long as there has been art to produce of the game.

Why would I play the so called "oldschool" runescape that is basically rs4? What so much better about it? rs4? It's like rs2.5 and EOC is rs3

It's better because more people play it and it is the original RS we all started playing years ago instead of some microtransaction crap

And if you think it's the game you grew up with, you're wrong. There's been so many more additions to OSRS that it's no where near the same game as it was in 2007. If it was the same, they would've left it as it was upon reopening the servers.

I personally play EoC because I've spent all my time training on that game with my account, so there's no way I'd ever consider starting from scratch on another game. I also hate the graphics so much more. It's awful on the eyes and the screen is way too small. There's also 0 customization with the client, whereas with EoC you have the NIS system, and can change the client to look however you wish.

Yes, EoC has more and more MXT as time goes by, but it's easy to just ignore that and keep playing. If someone wants to waste their real life money on pixel shit, then they can do so. It doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever. I used to have a clan member (he quit RS because he didn't make it through the final interview stage at Jagex lol) who spent over 5000 pounds on the best promotions he could. One time he even canceled a deposit on his house to buy spins...

I play this game only to engage with friends that I have made, and have some fun when I can. I don't care too much how others do it.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

As for more people playing - isn't is mostly bots and little children? All the times I've logged on, there's been immature toxic players everywhere I went, a game which would make me dislike it a lot more very quickly...

People are still bambling on about which version of the game is 'best' and which is 'worse'? Jeez, get over it already.

However, as I do not engage in the art of floccinaucinihilipilification, I shall not be drawn into that debate. A debate which is much akin to flogging a dead horse. But I will say that I play RS3 because I enjoy it; this is the reason why I play many games and will continue to do so. I enjoy exploring the content, socialising, and the varied aspects of training. If I don't enjoy something (particularly a game), I'll obviously stop playing it.

I stopped playing World of Tanks because of all the MTX flying around (literally).
I stopped playing War Thunder because there's always some dude with tunnel vision who chases you around the map.
I stopped playing OldSchool because as soon as they updated it, it was no longer the game I perceived it as being: a server offering you to explore a previous incarnation of the game.

But I digress, and ask a simple question: For once, will someone define the 'Original' RS? RS has always received regular updates, so even when 'Oldschool; was first released, it was hardly 'original'.

Games update, people change. Get over it. If you like it, then fine, others don't.

Also, the 'original' rs is RS Classic so..
