OSRS vs RS3

[God Of Cubone]

Can someone help me decide which is more worth playing? I played OSRS when it first came out for a while then stopped playing for 10 years or so. Pro's/Con's would help, or general input of what the difference is.

I think a big tell about OSRS vs RS3 is that OSRS is 3 times more popular than RS3 and it cant be from just from older players. When you older version is more preferred over your current one then you know something is wrong

Or the amount of bots in OSRS... hmm..

bots do inflate the numbers thats true but you are gonna find bots in the version thats more popular and the one people care about

edit: OSRS is also the one that people make content for (youtube) and stream

you will find bots in the version that has outdated defense programs, requiers far less processing power and is available on mobile

Spent 5 years on OSRS and 3 months max on RS3 if you only play for graphics go RS3 if you want fun OSRS

Best tip? Ignore all these people. Try both, 100% try both. I came back after quitting when EOC came out and went to OSRS, then I did everything I wanted to so I went to try RS3. I absolutely love both games.

Both games have their flaws and their benefits. Both are just as fun as the next, and both will be engaging. It is just a matter if you find either fun, and it is perfectly fine if you prefer OSRS over RS3 or RS3 over OSRS.

Just don't be a ♥♥♥♥ about it, like these fools.

The contraast between RS3 players saying "try both and see which you enjoy" and osrs players calling rs3 trash is hilarious to me

Want a good mmo? OSRS
Want a fun mmo? OSRS
Want pretty graphics? Literally any other mmo.

I do have a few gripes with OSRS. Mainly the community, they're so anti-social and hardly ever want to talk, hang out or do anything besides the "best" method/boss because it's not efficient, thus a waste of time. Same with slayer spots, there's enough for 2-3 people to use but they want the entire spot to themselves. What I mentioned probably won't be an issue until you reach end game.

And before anyone says i'm a noob that wants to do noob things. I'm 126 with 2100 total.

Ultimately it's up to you to decide, goodluck.

If you want a good experience play OSRS, if you want an MTX filled cesspool play RS3

Over 50 and retro lol? I'm 25 and OSRS is not retro in the slightest

rofl osrs is not retro ??? you sure you're not 125 ?

it a clunky chunky crappy 2000s game

OSRS is based on RuneScape 2 which was 2004-2013. Its a modified version of 2007 with some things taken from the later years. I guess my PS3 and 360 are retro consoles now lol. Besides that MMOs don't really age into "retro MMOs". I also dont see what you mean by clunky. They may be different but they still control and play the same, just like any other MMO of its type.

i'm biased as i'm older. So old school runescape i will always pick between them.

RS3 does have a lot of merit that classic fans (myself included) tend to not give it. As its own thing, RS3 is a lot more streamlined, but it's also a lot more bloated. Sure you have fast travel you can just cast for free at any time just for activating the load stones, but travel in OSRS is a LOT more satisfying since you have to actually earn fast ways to travel places and/or cast your own spells to get there. RS3 gets trashed on and called a wow wannabe but it's still built on the original, it's still got the condense and tightly packed world of runescape, a lot of really good quests that other MMO's would never have, and overall still really unique gameplay.

In OSRS every small thing feels like an accomplishment. Whereas RS3 is really built for full completion, making small achievements feel less cool, but bigger picture more manageable.

If you're someone who's ok with what may be considered "archaic" design by today's mentalities in favor of a more satisfying experience overall, OSRS is significantly better. But if you're not into slower, more cryptic gameplay, RS3 may be a better choice.

And, honestly if they'd just released it as its own game it may have gone over better. Everyone just loading halfway through a completely different game after an update only to find all their progress on their accounts now felt nullified since the game was made so easy? Should have been split games from the start.

It's just for old people who didn't like the changes made to make the game rs3

.. you forgot the part about the game (RS3, this one) being filled to max with MTX.
