I have been playing Rune Scape for a while now, first the original Rune Scape game and later for real around 2005 onwards. Players were always moaning about various points and the game makers went to make “updates” and “new game items” to reduce the time to gain xp to a point where there were a lot of silly activities. Also there was the request of better graphics requiring faster computers

Then a clever pl@nker decided to go back to the original game and call it Old School, for those who understand that playing a game can take time and skill It was a good move as OSRS has more players than eh, what ever it's called now [rolling eyes]

Then came the request to develop “Mobile”, great, another platform to play on
However, it seems that there is still this desire to update the Old School game other than for issues in the game Can someone please kick the pl@nker that keeps on coming up with snazzy features that need more and more computing power??? We are now at a point that I can’t use my iPad Air on ios 12.5.6 but will need to purchase one that runs on ios 13… as if

So, I am sure that when all the new nonsense is removed from Old School mobile it can be played on ios9 for sure

Rest in peace 5pannerman my old friend, we had a great time but alas, I couldn't take you with me to OSRS... If you want to make something from scratch first create a world

^Yes create another game thats akin to rsc where they would have to "update" as fixing bugs and whatnot is still "updating". /s

So if you really want a "no update" version, then be ready to deal with broken things w/o them ever getting fixed.

OSRS is a joke lol it has so many nonsense updates that there's no point in it. It should have never been created tbh. Now you have 2 dead MMOs instead of 1 mediocre one.

Let me explain what I mean by "update"

First some detail:
- I have an mobile device that was launched in 2013, about the time osrs came out, if my memory still serves me well
- When mobile came out this device with iOS12.x.x was capable to run this without any issues but now it requires iOS13
- Was the whole point of OSRS not to go back "to when it was still great"?
- I have been playing Runescape since about 2005, the early version now known as RS3 As I was disappointed with continual updates then, making the game faster and easier with brilliant graphics that didn't interest me, so I went for the option to play OldSchool as an Ironman as it is close to what I remember RS to be that I liked playing with my family in the past


In the meantime there were some tech issues with OSRS Mobile that needed addressing causing updates, nothing wrong with that imho
However, as always ppl had questions, requests and wishes to make the gameplay easier again and there lies afaIac the problem As time went by features were developed and added to the game like colourful outlines when you click on something to confirm it to mention one I suspect that it's those kind of updates causing the app to be in need of more computing power requiring ever faster machines, it's those updates that I am talking about

Point is that this version of RuneScape would run at the time on a Pentium based PC with hardly any memory! Top Notch in those days perhaps but compared to now very light compared to now With all the non-essential updates it is hardly the same game as at the starting point of OldSchool, is it

So the question remains

Kind regards,

That, Jeremy Cheng, that could be a solution, fix any bugs or issues but leave the game basically as it was in 2007, put it on a separate world and see how the players react to that Surely it would be a winner if it would run on otherwise obsolete mobile devices If you want to make something from scratch first create a world
