I'm a maybe-returning player that's become disillusioned about the playerbase in RS3. Turns out OSRS players are rolled into the RS3 players on the website. Kinda hurts my interest in returning to RS3 if it's gonna be almost impossible to find large and active groups for certain activities.
I have some questions concerning OSRS I'd very much appreciate if they could be answered.
1. Does OSRS have degradable gear?
I've been playing since early RS2 when the game was blocky. I can't give an exact date when I started, but it was sometime after the Barrows Brothers came out. I quit years later when I realized all the cool new high-level/endgame content requires degradable gear in order to have a good chance at winning. It was enough to make me stop playing since I didn't want to have to worry about whether I'm making profit in everything I do in order to keep using my shiny cool outfits. I glanced through the OSRS wiki and, while Barrows armor still degrades, some of the much higher gear (ex. Torva, Justiciar) doesn't appear so. Is this true?
2. How populated are minigames?
Back in the day before the EOC fiasco, I absolutely loved Soul Wars! The lobby was crowded and the fights were fierce. RS3 Soul Wars lobbies are absolutely derelict now, even in dedicated servers. Are there more people in these activities at all hours?
3. Can I transfer my RS3 account to OSRS?
I spent a lot of time grinding it, it would absolutely suck having to start over again.
4. How is the grind? Can it be AFK'd?
Regardless of 3's answer, I'd like to know more. RS3 grind appears to be particularly egregious to the point they've monetized it by selling exp lamps. Is OSRS plagued by the same? Is there ways to automate skilling for exp in OSRS?
5. What are good ways to make GP?
Looking at the wiki, bonds are still a thing. If I were to return, what methods could I use to make money to make sustaining membership via bonds possible?
(Continued in reply) Choose wisely, strike quickly, trust completely, and may you find the ending that you deserve!
