A lot of people, when they think about an alternate universe, will think 'this wold, but with one detail changed somewhere in its timeline which causes more changes'. If alternate universe are a thing, why wouldn't there be one (or an infinite amount, rather) where multiple things are changed over the course of their timeline, not based on a single change. I actually had a theory about that. A quantum multiverse theory based around time travel and butterfly effects. A

Well it as an either or, situation. I wonder, has anyone considered that split that opened the GWD could have been caused by the realties parting ways. Because with Dimension is Disaster, that is 3 parallel realties and not just 2.

One) with No World Guardian, No God War and not much of anything else going on. . It just has stuff. Ii has bad guys. It has trout. OSRS

Two) They had a God Wars dungeon open, then we had a god war kick off and the rise of the World Guardian and what is slowly looking to more likely an Awakening Anima Mundi. Which is going to be a bitterly nasty surprise for the Elder Gods and their plans. Oh with a cast of Anima produced and tweaked lifeforms popping up. The gods in full riot mode playing whack-a-mole with each others heads.. Dragonkin running amok turning into hideous mutants. Vampyres desperate to chew on tasty Misthalin necks. Enormous crystal cities the size of most kingdoms. The player invades the eastern land to cut down all their bamboo. And the general lunacy that is Gower Quest. RS3

Three) The GDW opened. No meddler anywhere in sight. Everyone dies...? Well maybe not quiet but the world does go to hell in a handbasket of evil lunatics. That is until the meddler from world 2 (us) decides to invade world 3 to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and we're fresh out of bubble gum. Just because it's fun! Dimension of Disaster.

When you ask the question, what caused the split, well, I think you'd first have to answer why the split happened. Random chance, or a reason?
There is also the dimension where we rule and the sueros dimension... NO

I actually tend to think of OSRS to be the "Fifth Age" version of RS, while RS3 is the Sixth Age. My headcanon is that most of the abilities from EOC, especially Magic ones that don't require runes, or melee attacks that defy physics, were granted to us by Guthix when we became the World Guardian.

The main issue with this is the new content introduced in OSRS, but I suppose it's feasible to say it's there, SOMEWHERE in RS3, we just haven't looked for it.

So, rather than be multiple universes/multiple Gielinors, OSRS simple takes place in Year 169 of the Fifth Age, before SOJ was uncovered I'm just a man; I'm not a hero.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I'd just like to clarify more precisely what we're after (I've also updated the original post):

To be specific, we're looking for some way to explain both the existence and altering of an alternate dimension . The difference between the two would have effects in both the past and present of OSRS; for example, maybe Sliske doesn't even exist in OSRS (past), and Guthix never is assassinated (future). As OSRS and RuneScape 3 have many similarities, the initial difference in them would have to be somewhat small (such as Jas sneezing when he created the first one, accidentally creating another slightly different one).

OSRS = RS3 if Guthix didn't die and we didn't do other stuff.

Guthix didn't die - we don't go back in time to talk to him to save Elf City - buttery fly effect - we visit Zeah in OSRS instead of Wushanko Islands in RS3

^Pretty much this. OSRS is 5th age Scape.

This was a nice read; I was surprised. Not much activity currently in the Lorums, we need a new quest! :c

Sepulchre's theory was right. :P A

Well you see it all started when Garrosh went back in time to kill the pit lord Mannoroth and save the orcs from enslavement, creating a new branch in the timeline...oh wait wrong game.

Unfortunately we don't have any bronze dragon artifacts in this canon to conveniently explain alternate universes. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

OSRS is too different for a simple change to have affected things massively.

You can't really explain a continent appearing out of nowhere, the lack of the Abbey, the Ilujanka apparently being alive and on Zeah, Glough on steroids and with seemingly no connection to Arposandra, ect.

Also, Sliske is referenced in OSRS. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?
