Question 6 " Are your okay with never going outside again?"

I skilled my f2p acc for every skill up to lvl 50. Got myself membership 4 days ago and enjoying every minute I am playing. The quests are just genious and the member skills are fun as well. Exploring the world of runescape is just the best. Old school runescape really is great :D

"not much is known about classic today". I was there at the dawn of an era. I chose an 'adventurer' class that started with you rope, tinderbox and a bronze shortsword. I remember when members was released, I participated in the pumpkin drop event (and promptly ate them as food because i was a brilliant kid), I had a PHAT set but 'dumped em for bank space' because banks were like 2 inventories big and REALLY wanted to bank that brown apron for the 'crafting guild' (this one HURTS me). i remember when the mining rocks didnt have colors and the only way to see if it had ore or was on CD was to 'prospect'. I remember intentionally messing with people with the void and the disk of returning. I REMEMBER.

Great video, man! I also play both regularly, so i am always happy to see others that find positives in both. Cheers!

I enjoyed listening to your video as an osrs player. Quick scriptwriting tip: when your listing things, you have a habit of adding "and even" to thr last item in the list, and this doesnt always make sense. For example "And even tombs of Amascut." As a player I cant think of why that one would be emphasized in this context, and your target audience of non-rs players wouldnt know either, or they may make assumptions based on that emphasis. Relating to bossing in the game, saying something like "and even the inferno" would make more sense since it is widely considered the hardest base content in the game

This video was super helpful and insightful on helping me choose between OSRS and RS3. Been debating on which version to play and I think I finally have my answer.Just wanted to thank you for the awesome video and looking forward to playing RuneScape again!

The algorithm brought me to this video and your channel. Quality video my friend. Thank you!

You forgot to mention that PvP is optional in RS3 (unless it’s changed since I last played) unlike OSRS and you can explore the wildy without the risk of getting PKd. To me RS3 is hard getting used to, there’s A LOT to do in RS3 no doubt, but it doesn’t beat that classic feeling of OSRS. Nothing wrong with playing both, maybe I just need to spend more time on RS3 to get the hang of it. Awesome video btw!

Gotta love the algorithm sometimes to recommend small creators! Loved the video!

Great vid!! Small chuckle with your ending shot showing bots in background.

good video man, great audio quality as well

Awesome vid man. I want to play RS3 but not until I beat dragon slayer 2 on ORS

Looking forward to your content.

I started playing RS3 on a random whim earlier this year. Now I'm like skill level 2100 and am still having so much fun and learning so much lol

only 60 subscribers? yoooo you deserve more.

Great video! One important correction is that RuneScape 2 came out on the 29th of March 2004, not 2006

Over the last 2 years I've played OSRS, I got my quest cape, and several 99's, did a few raids and endgame stuff but started to burn out. I watched Sick Nerd play RS3 for a little bit and decided to pick it up because i remembered that my accounts are linked and i original played back in 2008. It was a little hard getting use to the controls and i did have to look up some guides for UI and actually gameplay, but so far i've gotten 10 99's and done 20 new quests in RS3, and i can honestly say it is very fun. But there is a very large player difference, the top 2% of players can make a lot of GP per hour in the 200m+ range, where lower levels make between 2-10m a hour. and the MTX requests are annoying but i do really enjoy the game so far.

Your 55th subscriber nice video my friend

Great video. I am blessed that this video came through my feed. (75sc-)

One thing to note is that Old School Runescape is more "fair", if you care about that, since microtransactions exist in RS3. That being said, if you don't care about totally optional microtransactions, the extra income from those microtransactions do make RS3 a far more well developed experience. Voice acted quests, or partially voice acted quests, are one of the main things I love about RS3 over Oldschool Runescape. I would recommend anyone to just make an account right now in free to play, go do One Piercing Note quest, and see for yourself. Do Broken Home while you're at it too, try to avoid guides on your first playthrough. Not to mention that Invention is a skill that basically solved one of Runecape's biggest problems - no item sinks for gear and weapons. OSRS still has this problem to this day. I would definitely say that Runescape 3 offers more content, and better quality content too. However, Oldschool Runescape appeals to fans of original Runescape, and has its own unique style, and of course is more fair. Oh and I forgot to mention, Runescape 3's Runecrafting skill doesn't totally suck like in OSRS (until like level 77).

Thank you for all this good information. I joined OSRS recently and can't stop enjoying. Some of the quests are hilarious. Guess I'll probably try RS3 too. I'd just wish they did some kind of offer as right now I cannon afford a full subscription for the game.

Theyre both fun in their own ways. Try both and if you like one stick with that if you like both play both like many of us do.

Great video man

Pretty sure KZfaq allows you to put timestamps directly on the progressbar of the video

Another great youtuber ❤

I found it easy to play in 2023 by logging in to my account that was Comp'd, when I logged out in 2016. Years of content.

What made me and my brother quit was the lack of guaranteed loot. We have combined kill count of 1100+ raksha kills, and only got one greater chain codex. Majority of those kills were solo kills. No grico whatsoever. We had similar stats for ambi, but no loot there either. Tired of playing for a fraction of a percentage loot for hours on end

2:05 when the nostalgia hits

I made this point in one of the comments, but I can make it here because I love your thoughts on it. rs3 strong suit is the amount of content, and the way to play it while with OSRS its the community and the nogstalgia i made a point in the comments after someone, where i states that while those are OSRS's strong suits.... they are also its biggest enemies. communities can get toxic fast, and nogstalgia fades. and when there is no more new content to play... that community can quickly turn to the game. and then to the nogstalgia that holds it back. I think the OSRS team knows about this, and its why they did push some updates, like the GE because it HAD to happen. But I feel like, and maybe someone can make a video on it, if OSRS is truly in trouble and is maybe going in the wrong direction because of these two pillars? I hope I worded it right? but I love to know someones take on it?

I opened my old account but my progress doesnt show in old runescape, only when opening the new version, but i want to play old runescape is there a way to get my progress to that?

Been itching to play coming from 2006. I'm torn between both!

Mate, 12 minutes and the video told me very little. There are windows all over the screen and not one explained, the non combat gameplay isn't explained. I am still confused by what you do other than cut trees and mash some baddies.

Should make a detailed video on pvp in RS3. I like RS3 more but i loveddddd OSRS pvp.

I've been F2P for the longest time, and I haven't played Runescape 3 ever since the price of bonds skyrocketed to over 60m. I don't have the time that I used to, and I would like to actually play the game instead of spending my time trying to grind for money to renew my bond.

i wish the snapshot was the late 2005 early 2006 ver xd.

the whole thing where the dude just happen to found a backup snapshot is a lie, in an interview mod mat k said they could have used 2010 and 2012 pre eoc backups in addition to 2007 and the reason they choose 2007 is cuz they saw 2006scape popularity skyrocket.

As someone plays both... I do think you missed one thing in terms of the good qualities in RS3... the pvm is miles better on RS3 than old-school. However the pvp on old-school is miles better than RS3 pvp. I do agree just play both.

I cant get my old account back to save my life started playing again today after 12 years

RS3 is way more fun I quit OSRS for RS3 and its so fun

First played in 2006 and really never got into it honestly.

you can still play classic on this runescape vanilla server but they merged with this dragonfire or dragonflare thing.

Technically rs3 also has fossil island but for story reasons all the Dino’s still alive

i love osrs but the only thing i dislike about it is that you cant eat waffles in osrs :(

Ending was a bit abrupt

Gonna stay on classic wow I think

Good vid sir crayon eater

Bro forgot to add Divination as new skill to rs3, but also adds Dungeoneering which is a minigame.

And even

RS2 actually came out in 2004, no?

Do you play RuneScape? Let me know!

should i get runescape on steam or on their site?

Iv just started RS3 just defeated the first boss 😅

The answer is yes

2006 for rs2?? nah lmao it was 2004. I started in early 2005 and already missed exclusive event untradables that only happened during rs2.

I did

RS2 (The overhaul from RSC to the beginnings of what OSRS would become) came out in 2004. I remember the day that it came out of beta, and i logged in, made a crying emote and said i missed RSC.

After 20 years it's always been there, just a click away.

Well, that was... weird. First time I've ever seen a video clearly made by a player who actually has substantial knowledge of, and experience with, both games. Where's the bias? Not enough bias. Not enough bitching about MTX. How am I supposed to gain anything from watching this if you don't include at least 20 minutes of complaining about how bad EoC is and how it completely ruined your life? /s

OSRS is in its best state yet! :D Welcome

Runescape 2 didnt release in 2006 btw

If you can deal with 75% of the player not being real people. Then ide say go ahead and play.

Tbh EoC was a much needed update, sure it had a rocky start but the state it currently is in is really good.

I have no friends

also runescape 2 came out in 2004 not 2006

OSRS is not real runescape... its Privateserver owned by jagex

runescape 3 is all about content, lots of content and no wrong way to play osrs is all about nogstalgia, community and finding your way of playing it. there is not a lot of content, but, that limitation makes it so it feels bigger than it is. there is a world to explore, and then to conquer. while with rs3, you do it at the same time. you don't have to be online for hours to play rs3. which is why its my choice the one thing I hate with rs3, is the money sink, and you reallllly have to get away from it.

I used to play f2p 15 years ago, was high lvl for a f2p, until they released rs3 and i lost my acc. 😢 started another acc week ago, already higher lvl than before, loving this game ❤

I want to like RS3 but i find it way too busy and confusing with all the popups and windows. EoC also isnt enjoyable to me if i wanted complex button clicking id play WoW again. Overall I'd say OSRS is the superior game imo if you just want to have fun and not think too much

no, is full of bots and not worth it

im oldschool player from 2007 i was 9 now and then i prefer os, Rs3 is a shit, in my opinion, change my mind

if you've never played osrs before then dont start playing it, 70% of it is bots, vennys or people ahking

It don't have asia server so No

Runescape was a great game, but the J mods abused the hell out of the player base. Having played from 2004-2022 I'm happy I got away from RS. I loved the Game but its not just a game, Its a job you miss 1 event it could set you back months unless you have existing wealth. 1.) Limited time items. Many titles, Outfits and items you can never get again. 2.) Alts, Merching etc drove the price of "Rare items" to outragous levels. 90billion for a hat with no use other then to look nice would take 2000 hours of play time maybe 1500 getting drops at drop rate and selling at top price. that's still over 2 years at 3 hours a day. 3.) Removal of PvP 4.) Lack of Runescape accountability with glitches, scamming and luring.

shouldnt question one be "should you play runescape in 2023?" lol

Runescape is odd. Who wants to click 1,000 times a day in the same every mining rocks? I hate mining. This is one reason why the game is loaded with automated bots. I achieved 99 prayer last month on RS3. Yes, it was very boring offering 40,000 bones on the altar. I spent about 450M to achieve 99 prayer.

Promo-SM

Man your dates are way off…

RIP to my main that was transferred over to rs3....

vorkoth??? lol my boy its vorkath also it seems you explaining this stuff on the video is from a outsiders perspective I am not convinced you have many hrs on runescape or high enough levels to do simple bosses like "vorkothhh" , IMO You just sound unfamiliar with all the stuff in osrs and like you are reading a script that u researched for a college lecture lol

How daunting is it for a player new to Runescape to play Old School? I'm sick of WoW clones so probably wouldn't be interested in Runescape 3.

Insert toxic comment "git gud kid*

burning down your mother in laws house? are you kidding me man? use your head

If new players can see past the graphics, then trust me, osrs is THE way to go.

no no no no. cancer game

Imo no, it is not worth it to play any forms of RuneScape in 2023.

BOOOOOMERS , PLAY RS3 LOL

The question Should be.., Q. "Should you MTX in 2023?" A. Yes. Tq, you welcum. Source : Ketchup sauce 🍅

this was obviously a biased video for oldschool rs again. how about before trying to inform people about rs3 you actually go max or get a maxed vet from rs3 to speak on your behalf. video was a waste of time

2001-2005 runescape was a niche game that housed no more then 20000 players max we know more about it then you give us credit jagex q/a have been wiki tized among other points but the era of computing and potential player base is where it really points too

Rs3 is pay to win trash.

Just came back into it after a few years hiatus and getting bored of every game on the market and have been having as much fun as I had in the 06-2011 days

`definatly not.dont start better
