Runescape Oldschool Server

So if you played Runescape, you'll know it went to shiy after multiple graphics updates and the "evolution of combat". Fortunately, Jagex decided to poll the players to see if they should release a 2007 server, so now if you're a member ($3/month right now), you can play the oldschool server. I gave it a try and it kicks ass. It is how the game should have always been. It's updated so that the last skill that was released was Hunting.

the only fun part of that game was f2p PKing like 10 years ago. I lol'd that they have come to this just to keep players from quitting.

oooh fuck
i wasted too much time with this shit though back in the day. I just find it funny how much they hurt from all the updates that they thought were helping the game, when they ended up just making it a worse place.

This game. I hope I get to play it more. I logged on and it was like reliving my god damn childhood. Because, technically, almost a year of it was actually spent on this game.

All my friends stopped playing and I just got bored. But I was 132 combat with 300m net. I made an account in summer for giggles and got 70 mage and 70 range and then stopped. I logged on like 2 weeks ago and couldnt wear Dhide cause of EoC. Over the last 3 years I played I just got overwhelmed with all the new armors and weapons they introduced. And dungeoneering should have been a minigame. Not a skill.

fuck that. I played a lot of this game but if I was going to go back to something like this it would be world of warcraft. runescape is like wow for 10-13 year olds.

I hate these games anyways. Played a lot of em on and off until I was like 15 and then realized how much time I was wasting.

Wow and modern RS are somewhat comparable. WoW and "oldschool" RS really aren't at all. They are similar only in that they are both medieval/fantasy based games.

So many memories with quests. Already finished Priest In Peril and The Lost Tribe.
And for whoever said that it's $8 a month, that is incorrect. It's the normal price. 500k votes were needed to have the normal price, and there was 450k so Jagex took things from the 250k and 500k which was really nice of them.

All of you guys add me. I'm mattmskrules

Also callout to 4bi9 rider

Not going back to real runescape ever again unless they make eoc, pre eoc again. I have way too many days on my accounts to start 2007.

I play rsps's though. look up battlescape if you want a good rsps!

So by classic do they mean RS1 or RS2 (based on old school being the 2007 version)? I remember quitting when they brought RS2 out of beta in 2004ish.

Not that it matters because I was never a paying member (and couldn't hope to remember my account info).
