"While Jagex will be providing us with a perfect reconstruction of the content as it was in 2007, it is up to us players, the community, to ensure an accurate representation of the game. In this thread I will detail various Dos and Don’ts of how to behave, communicate and interact with your fellow players in this remake, and thus bring to life the long dead specimen that is the 2007 community. "

Opting to buy and sell your items through NPC stores, general stores, and good old player to player trading is what the real old RS was about.

Has been replaced with PVM/Slayer giving out most the good stuff, the GE serving as a dumping ground, and players being more interested in random podcasts and YouTube videos than they are engaged in the game.

Nah fam, the real old school was all about raiding and doing nothing else. Draft dodger btw. Too scared to attack an enemy that tried to harm my loved ones so "I only learned to defend". Typical boomer born right after the era where my parents suffered the solitude of WWII, deprivation of the Great Depression while I never had to suffer jack or risk a thing.

If you're talking about clans back in the day then maybe. Usually it was fighting other clans in the Wilderness.

Raiding via PvM wasn't a thing back then.

That's why the game sucked back then. I never started really enjoying RS until around 2017 or so. I played like once a week back then and never even subscribed. I didn't find anything worth doing at all. Draft dodger btw. Too scared to attack an enemy that tried to harm my loved ones so "I only learned to defend".

If the game sucked for you back then, why did you keep playing it?

2017 or so? So 2013 - 2016 wasn't all that good?

I didn't like it as much. I played back then casually similar to how I play League once every couple months. It wasn't good enough for me to deem it worthy of my time. I realized one thing though. In 2018 or so when I consider OSRS to have been at its peak, I was playing RS for something it wasn't meant to be. There are much better games for PvE out there. If I ever return to RS in the event it gets a third try, I'll be back to being a nubnubby casual. Draft dodger btw.
