I think OSRS players take for granted how intricate the game is compared to other MMOs. Forget killing 22 boars, and 40 murlocs then spamming dungeons while clicking your maxDPS rotation. I've been playing RuneScape for 20 years and I still need to use the wiki every time I log in 🤣

It's really not intricate compared to "other MMOs", just perhaps to some. But every top rated MMO is intricate, because otherwise the progress is too fast and the replayability too low. It's a cornerstone of the genre.

Ok you guys are just too used to RuneScape... It is unintuitive that the quest NPC will deny you without saying why and then you scroll through the list of quests to find out why. And even worse if you accept a quest that you don't have the recommendations for there is no way to find out what they are... This stuff is confusing to Classic WoW refugees that aren't even used to being shown quests that they can't do yet.

Easily my most anticipated Runescape series in a long time, glad to have you in Gielinor MadSeason ❤

[@Phirestar]

It’s so weird seeing someone do the quests in this fashion, where they go around the world and try to start every quest they encounter. Normally in OSRS, people will very intentional with questing, where they pick one, specific quest to tackle at a time for a particular reason - a reward, a pre-requisite to another quest, etc. This feels more like how you’d play a solo RPG like The Witcher or the Elder Scrolls, where there’s a notice board or you just talk to every NPC in the town.

[@dongurudebro4579]

Exactly like I played it back in the days and I completed every quest until 2009 as a stupid kid

[@lol0999]

As a dumb kid, I thought the quest marker not only meant new quests but also the general area for other quests. So I ended up starting a bunch of quests trying to complete some other quests. Eventually I went to Gnome Stronghold, ended up starting Grand Tree, got put onto the glider to Karamja, panicked when I was attacked by Jogres, ran around like a headless chicken, ended in central Karamja, attacked by Tribesmen, poisoned, died and lost part of my addy and a bunch of other things. Really wanted to quit right there and then.

[@cattysplat]

I did this in WoW. No matter how long or grindy the quest, even if the quest was grey and gave worthless reward. Because there is a story, a journey, other players and random things along the way. Optimising the fun out of an MMORPG is the saddest thing about becoming a veteran player.

[@emprox1]

absolutely loving this so far. used to watch madseason vids when i played wow but i'm a longtime osrs player. great stuff

[@mattstillydgn]

[@bphan11]

Can’t wait for this series. Mad season will finally get to experience an mmo that has actual content. While OSRS isn’t an mmo in the typical sense. Starting osrs just made me realize how hard blizzard dropped the ball when it comes making a good game. Also be sure to check out world 420 as soon as you manage to hit 1250 total lvl

[@carlwei]

Before I did goblin quest I asked my friend who did it long ago. He said he didn't remember much, but he remembers needing 1 of each dye for the quest. When I did it, it saved me a ton of time. I think moments like this was built into the design of these quests.

They should put up a sign in Lumbridge - "WoW refugees welcome!" Also, i have good news for you on the "social" aspect of OSRS - all the content in OSRS is soloable, even the so-called "raids". That is, if it is not explicitly single-player. And as for Slayer - think of it as repeatable WoW kill quests with a twist. Like having to wear protective goggles, or a gas mask, or a mirror shield etc. Some juicier mobs you can't even damage without some level of slayer skill.

RuneScape’s world and moment to moment gameplay used to always be packed with socializing. Part of the change is due to people now only spending time in specific skilling areas rather than standing around, but the main source of the change is the Grand Exchange.
