This is what turned alot people off of osrs back in 2013, they had invested years into their account some even from the rs classics days and transfered to rs2. Now your asking a older player base to start over with less time in their daily lives. The reason alot of players came back was because of osrs mobile. This allowed them to play during down-time at work or at home. Those hours of down-time add up and after months if not a year you find urself back into the game.

your progress in runescape is literally tied to how much of a life you have outside the game. I made my OSRS character the day it launched and I only got my first 99 last year. (Granted there were long periods where I didn't play at all). I'll put in MAYBE 2 hours tops on an average day and if I'm lucky I'll have a whole free day on the weekend to play but generally for any skill I want to max I'm looking at months of chipping away at it. MONTHS. Honestly if you're "bad" in runescape that's probably a good thing overall for your life lmao

[@12shaymin12]

Thanks man, I’ve always felt bad that I’ve never gotten a 99 in 10 years. I usually get to late 80’s, I think my highest being 92. It makes me feel a lot better, knowing I really put in the time to make it that high when most people don’t. Side note: I do wonder what players they took into account for this? If they count people who only do f2p or accounts that people made and dropped in a couple days, I think that would heavily skew the average. I get the sneaking suspicion I’m just trying to find a reason to put myself down though, so I’m going to choose not to think about that.

[@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223]

The latter part is right. Dude, how could they only count f2p? There are member skills with levels in the image. Devs know how long an account is active. When determining the average, usually outliers are dropped. AVERAGE. Not outlier, not bot, not a few hours playtime... I've been playing for 8 years off and on, and this looked like my account before I knew how to play efficiently.

[@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223]

I had never gotten above 32 farming or 28 construction or 55 prayer... In the span of 20 years and multiple accounts. Now, I have 76 farming, 72 prayer, and 50 construction. Not to mention, I recently got 90 mage. My first ever 90 in 20 years...

[@charlesbrown4483]

I’m a veteran player, by no means a great pvm’er or pvp’er, but a veteran nonetheless. My opinion that this: if you’re going to play OSRS in 2022, play the game however you want as long as you’re having fun, but, the game is decades old. There are extensive guides for anything and everything you want to accomplish, if you’re gonna put any time into it at all then at least be smart about it and learn from those of us who’ve been around for a long time. Don’t feel the need to be a turbo-nerd who obsesses over efficiency or anything like that, but don’t waste your own time playing if you’re not gonna try to progress your account and get better. It will take time, but watch and read guides and get better constantly!

[@MolesMalone]

I agree, been playing on and off since 04, still have my 2004 account also. Only ever got two 99s and about to get a third on osrs. The great thing about runescape is there is no real way to play. Can legit do no quests or very minimal quests and still have a great acc and have fun. That's why I keep coming back. To just chill and get levels no stress

[@Chymistry]

I agree.

[@grandcanyon2]

i agree 2140 total 14x 99s 1x98, 18 out of the 23 skills are lvl 90+ the remaining 4 are lvl 76 81 67 and 72. Work at your own pace look at guides and have a plan to work around your own playing time. Iam at 98 thieving had guys doing 200-220k exp a hour i did that for a few hours and could only get 191k thieving exp a hour max from lvl 93+thieving. I decided to relax and only go for about 130-140k thieving exp a hour.

[@QuickVC]

One thing to be aware of is all the bots that arent banned at the time of recording. A bunch of level 3s + a bunch of early, mid, end, late end, game level accounts are constantly being botted/hacked into existence. Its undeniable that these levels for average players are greatly influenced by a multitude of factors that arent even representative of what the "average player" really is and unless they share with us some new tool they have I dont suspect a real representation is possible to show us.

[@skullknight2008]

[@TroyTheTCGTrustee]

This really drives me crazy when people are like this. And it is by far the majority of the community doing end game content. They get to be advanced with practice and time but you have other players coming up that need guided to make learning end game pvm and raids more doable but so many of these guys are so worried about it effecting their efficiency that the refuse the request. Exactly why I constantly encourage lower level players, friend and clan makes to reach certain targets. Have them watch specific content and guides, then run them through myself until they feel confident enough to try solo or jumping in with some veterans. 💯 people forget the game is all about having fun as a community. The more people we have learning that content as well makes it more efficient and effective to diversify your team set ups. So you can find willing and able bodies nearly any time of day. 👍 Just saying..

[@TroyTheTCGTrustee]

Yep that's exactly what it's all about in my opinion. Of course people are entitled to their personal goals as well but there's plenty of solo content available for that if they really want to maximize "efficiency" and I'm the same exact way. My account is exclusively mobile and I'm fortunate to be able to do a lot more end game content, bosses, solo raiding, teaching etc. But outside of chambers and toa I can't get a soul to volunteer to take me on some learners on TOB just cause they can't imagine themselves doing it on mobile since they're used to pc. And I admit some stuff is more of a struggle on it while learning but we as a species adapt by nature. Just have to be stubborn about setting goals and understanding everything is a progression not perfection. And lean on those who have the knowledge to help which makes the process so much quicker. Just as somebody did for them. And I guarantee like you said. They might have some untimely deaths or whatever but if I can laugh at myself from making an error I'm sure looking from the outside in we can all share in the humor and just have fun lol 😅🤣👍

@@Lampaluile I joke about being terrible. I am not 😂 but I am lazy when it comes to learning pvp. Noob can be used broadly in runescape especially with a variety of play styles.

[@Curt-ze6hl]

That stat page makes my account look OP

[@WiCapitalco]

Maybe going for 99 in every stat wasnt the brightest idea i ever had.

[@Barleh]

Well this is a good baseline for ironman goals

[@blurryface9910]

Agility being higher than farming, hunter, firemaking, mining, smithing, construction, thieving, runecrafting, AND herblore is rock hard proof bots dominated the data... and if not, then that's jail time.

[@WittlePeen]

Im trying to do dt2 right now at combat 103, only skill under 70rn is RC and this quest is making me regret not having higher combat skills 😅

[@Paste-Bean]

damn man thanks for this im combat level 90, and alot of times when you watch tutorials that gets called early game, feels bad man...

[@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223]

Those things piss me the fuck off. "Low level boss" requires 90+ combat stats + 100m in items. Wtf??

[@Paste-Bean]

exactly like wth-@@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223

[@raine6813]

keep in mind though, this is also taking into account the PLETHORA of disposable bot accounts, people who got bored of the game after trying it once and never logging in again, and alternate accounts people have. so yes, it is thechnechally the true average of all runescape players, but maybe for a more accurate depiction of the average person who actively plays the game, maybe rule out any that have less than say, 5 hours of total play time. then we'll see what the number is

[@V1TNIR]

Ayy I’m not average there’s the confidence boost I needed

[@randomshotz13]

This is why mid level content is more important than veterans realise

[@sneakysnek2185]

I'm shit at runescape, been playin 20 years. Worth it.

[@a-terrible-fate532]

I play for fun and nostalgia who cares about being good or competing with others.

[@Dragontron20]

Promise me guys when the game shuts down we'll be there when they pull the plug. And I'll be doing a Guthix impression: "GUTHIIIIIIX"

[@TheAlanBeau]

Unfortunately they dont make the best exp sources obvious and the time it takes to get these stats you could have 50 or 60 in most skills. The wiki is absolutely necessary to refer to if training a skill feels like its taking days instead of minutes or hours to train up at a quick rate. Hope this helps anyone struggling. Just hit 70 farming from zero in 4 days non intensive play 😅

[@Chris-go7ge]

I need to remember this sometimes, in my 30s with a family probably play 5-10hrs a week now around work, but at over 2100 total - watch too many KZbin videos with all the content people do I just don’t have time to do it but feel a noob looking at my boss kill counts etc

[@Youngmuniii]

a standard for new players that I like is: get base free-to-play levels to at least 40 or 60 and complete the free quests before you purchase membership. It gets you used to the game without being overwhelmed w options/choices. Then once you reach that milestone get yourself membership. I got to base 60s now i’m a member with 98 mining/82 smith, all skills except like 4 above 60 and only 40 days played. many many months of not playing at all but osrs always had that itch you gotta scratch.

[@grandcanyon2]

no get p2p as soon as you start, it will increase your exp gains by alot. you can stack regular combat potions which are cheap and like 320 gold per potion and increase your attack and stre by 11 percent.

[@Youngmuniii]

nah don’t get p2p before reaching some milestones especially if you’re brand new.

[@im420back]

thats interesting news, i had no clue that the average was this. but it makes sense, a lot of players dont care about one thing or another or focus on just certain skills or getting them for quests. pretty cool stuff.

[@Miki76221]

Playing for 17 years on and off maxed combat stats, 1750 total, I still feel terrible at the game 😂😂

[@LexFerraro]

played since 14, i set it down when i get too involved. got married and had kids since i’ve played. my username even has mom in it now. it’s never about the stats. just about the feeling you get and the people you meet. never played to chase a big bank. but it definitely came along the way. and the stats with it. i do still get on when i decide a round number would look spicy on the hiscores or i feel like i need to go back for an old monster, and new content. spend the last weeks playing around dt2, left myself the final fight to look forward to.

[@coneberry6905]

It's not surprising at all to see hitpoints hugher than other combat stats. Some people train melee, some train ranged, but they both train hitpoints, so it's going to be higher

[@ashtonvalentine7496]

This applies to a lot of this out of RuneScape as well

[@VeloxusGaming]

There’s something poetic about Runecrafting having the lowest average level.

[@davidray2682]

I am an ironman at 2193 total level. I happened to be talking to someone about how excited I was to max and people were like "Youre nowhere even close to max" and while I understand exp wise, Im still tens of millions of exp away, Im still a hell of a lot closer than most and I'm proud of that.

[@externalboss9404]

Good luck getting that 2376.

[@rushgameing3085]

It’s different for everybody but growing up in 2004 with a old dell pc I watched my older brother play osrs all the time and when they first got the dragon gear and then the fire cape the hype was too real. Now I’m 22 and have an account with 3 99’s. I occasionally play for long periods of time then leave the game for long periods of time, but it’s my one and only account so any progress over the years on it as I grow up is just great.

[@elmerandrewcrowley2822]

why does anyone think that total level is any measure of skill anyway? it’s not as if high level skilling is harder than low level skilling, just takes longer. it’s a measure of ability to focus if anything.

[@Skyscraper2015]

Of all the features on RuneScape Old School, I would say the Grand Exchange is by far the best. It allows players to sell items to other players for the same amount of cash and it doesn't require the player to find somebody to trade with immediately. Second, when you sell items to a General Store the more you sell of a particular item the more they choose to discount your price. The ridiculous thing is tho they will automatically buy said item at a much lower cost than it is a Tually worth so there is no ways you could make a living off of what you sell to general stores. And other players don't want to spend all day every day simply trading with other players. Thus with GE you can place your items of your choice on the market and when someone is interested they can come buy an item you are selling and drop off the cash. And the second best feature is, you can collect GE items or money from any bank in the RuneScape World, meaning you don't have to travel all the way north to collect your money or items. Plain genius

[@Sicaughtik]

If MMK was saying this on an osrs stream as an employee, this was years ago. Average level is likely way, way higher now.

[@Dawggo]

I feel like a RuneScape god. I'm not even good at the game I cannot even boss I'm horrible at it.

[@Dawggo]

That's after seeing the average players level and comparing it too my main. And no my main isn't genie

[@Artiix.21]

I'm old pff this was the game back then sometimes I wonder to go back and play again As my youth greatest time we lived 🙏🏾

[@Leinnn]

We all know rs is an off and on game, rn I’m off but I could see myself playing this game for the rest of my life tbh 😂 it’s just such a chill game to play and you decide how much effort you want to put in

[@Atylonisus]

I don't fear high-level players who have been around since 2007. I fear the low-level players who have been around since that long. Think about it -- who would scare you more, the guy who reliably grinded 15 years to get respectable stats? Or the guy who played for equally as long, and you have no idea what he's been doing to keep things fresh because it definitely wasn't levelling.

[@MonsPubis7]

Never knew someone would actually take the osrs public chat seriously enough to make a "motivational speech" on how to not get bullied by public chat. lmao

[@kooger888]

The lowest is construction, I have a 58 in that and it's my most hated skill next to fire making

[@OleMisss]

3 months ago I was near this total level. Now im lvl 121 cb & close to 1900 total. A younger me would be insanely proud as I was as noob as you could be back when this game was new..

[@TheBlenderbuddy]

Just got all my skills to 50 and I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time but I’m happy to know I’m higher than the average player now

[@trevorjones1813]

There’s also a difference between comparing yourself with your own standards vs everyone else’s standards. I appreciate how he is basically saying to not be so hard on yourself, but it’s okay to want to be better than average. I think average is fine, but I definitely don’t want to be average. Don’t beat yourself too much of course because that can have negative repercussions, but it’s okay to want more for yourself too.

[@Sweet9964]

facts. you’re not bad just because you haven’t done infernal yet, you just need to learn the inferno. That man who completed it without the use of his hands proved anyone can learn it if you put in work.

[@silent_thoughts95]

I talk bad about myself cause it helps me do better

[@HowieRaps]

These stats include all the alt accounts & bots. This basically just shows what skills are botted more and what skills are botted less

[@FunkyBananaBear]

Wtf are you talking about??? Literally NOTHING you responded with has ANYTHING to do with what the first guy was saying?????

[@TheLoshGames]

This is like a 2 week account for veterans

[@IVIeGaTRoNz]

I was a really pure back in the day from combat levels 40-70ish when everyone was terrible, so was I. But gone are the days of lag free full wilderness at all combat levels

[@CrazennCajunn]

Probably due to 1-40 being pretty quick via quests on several skills. RuneScape is brutally slow once you exhaust the big EXP quests

[@wj2036]

The last time I met someone who cares what level someone else is was in 2005.

[@Chymistry]

"Let me log on to my main"

[@javabeanz8549]

When I start a brand new account, I try to rush getting the 500 and 750 world access. Some of those averages are below my week old accounts on F2P.
