Is RuneScape worth getting into 2020?

[Enspi]

I know how big this title is, however I have never actually taken the time to get invested in the Runescape world. Is this game still worth getting into now?

[StabbyU2]

Yes

[Tryharder]

also for people recommending old school don't listen to them they are living some nostalgic trip in the past where half of the population is bots and the entire game is a giant grind with insanely slow exp rates, you can spend weeks grinding with almost no progress.

I don't think that's really for you to decide. Its down to the individual person, I reccomend trying both out and seeing what you like best. I like the action and style of RS3 but OSRS feels far more rewarding to level in from a personal view point. I enjoy the grind and get a great sense of satisfaction hitting the goals I set myself far more than in RS3.

YES ITS FUN

as long there is a boom of brand new players from steam then it should be fine.

IF you love a game that promotes Micro transactions more then an EA game, and that has no support for players.

this game's microtransactions are way less aggressive or egregious than anything EA has come up with in recent years. and for that matter also better than Ubisoft's Bethesda's and Activisionblizzard . stop your bullsh!tting

Yes

Depends on your mindset.
Pure casual or pure tryhard it's very good, but if you want to take it seriously you have to sell your soul or you're going to have a bad time.

I've learned not to care about what's optimal unless I'm especially in a hurry. Much better that way.

try it and see if you like the combat. if you don't then don't bother. the combat is the main part of the this game imo and if you don't like it then it's not going to be worth investing maybe 100hrs to get to a decent level. 1000s of hrs to max.

I don't think so.
The only way to get ANY new player could be if they create a new server from 14 oct, but i don't think they do that.
So who player with at least a little brain will want to begin with a lvl 1 chara in servers with max lvl characters? (all the old timers of this game)

as someone whos played runescape for 11yrs i definitely think yes its worth getting into both rs3 and osrs are good. rs3 is what you want if you want a modern play style without excessive grinding for lvls. osrs is what you want if you like older style gaming and more grinding.

you are aware that with steam release thousands of new players will join the game so everything you wrote is invalid

You are aware that the only people who's going to play this old game in Steam are the same old timer people who are playing now? No new server is = to 5 or 6 new player as much.
