I read every single dialogue box of every quest in OSRS on my main. Some of the quests are boring but I think most are pretty good. It is nothing too serious most of the time, but the lighthearted and humoristic way they tell the stories and introduce you to the lore is very entertaining and I think questing is one of the best parts of the game alongside bossing/raiding.

[@nargrexbyte1847]

100% agree, the lore is honestly getting better, especially with Grandmaster quests but even the newer ones, i hope they keep at it, and honestly i love the questing cause the rewards are insane compared to 99% of other mmos out there. Other games are just “talk to X” “kill X creature 10 times” until you reach endgame where youve done that for about 30 hours repeatedly

"The ninth version was built with magic logs. The barge gained some form of rudimentary sentience. It developed serious depression and ran itself aground near Crandor."

[@zoyadulzura7490]

[@Xantexhunter]

I actually learned last month that Guild Wars 1 not only still is playable through Arena net, they also sorta "upscaled" the game to work with current gen graphic cards, added 4k resolution and greatly increased the render distance. So I decided to give it a shot. Miraculously, my Arena net account that I made back in 2006 was still there. I got a new password and bought the "all of the dlc content" bundle box for like 20 dollars or something. I briefly scimmed through a new player (speedrunner) guide on the best class and story to get OP as quickly as possible and away I went. Its pretty fun, but Guild Wars isn't like other MMOs where you see players everywhere. You only see players in the main town areas, and there are several channels like runescape worlds, and each channel has a cap on how many players can be in there. But when you are out in the field where all the quests and monsters are, you're either solo or with whoever is in your group. What was shocking was the fact that Guild Wars still has a very healthy player economy, with trading, cosmetics and everything else. I can't believe a game this old that hasn't had a major update in over a decade still has so many players playing. While I didn't continue playing it, i'd say its worth the 20 dollars to explore the game and get to enjoy some real good internet gaming history. I played a lot of different MMOs over the years. But runescape is the MMO that I always come back to. I still pay $4.99/mo to this day.

[@JustBackgroundNoise]

The best way to enjoy RS3, I think, is as an ironman. Account progression is satisfying and attainable for just about all play-styles and you don't have to worry about treasure hunter. And regarding community, most players either find it in a clan or socialize in more heavily-trafficked areas. War's Retreat is usually pretty bumping. And with the new Fort Forinthry update, there's likely to be a lot of players there at all times.

[@calcolate3621]

This is what I tell all my OSRS buddies that want to give RS3 another try. Ironman gave RS3 a whole new breath of fresh air when Main-scape got old for me

I play IM RS3 as well, and if you want to talk to people, there are lots of friends chats, but I also regularly find people chatting around hubs (So yeah War's Retreat and Fort Forinthry). There are also several Ironman clans if that's your thing :)

[@Sowoni]

Everyday i'm tempted to quit my main and play ironman, just sucks that i'm too far ahead with xp.

[@gnomestyle1873]

Agreed. And for new players any friendchats of the YT/twitch streamers are a good choice to get into the community. I'm personally in Sick Nerd's and it still had a strong community after he quit for a while.

[@CottidaeSEA]

The only thing I miss as an ironman in RS3 is no group finder. I just find it rather tedious to use FC and such to find a group. Therefore I simply don't and solo everything instead, which is also kind of a pain, but it's a Dark Souls kind of pain where you still want to keep going.

[@Zeroicdota]

you have the single best ad-reads of any content creator, regardless of their area of youtube. Good shit dude!

[@MegaChickenfish]

Can confirm, there's whole guides for Friends Chats in particular that were eye opening to me. Found one for PvM called "Boss Guild" and all of a sudden I can just go "hey, who wants to go do a bunch of elite dungeons together?"

[@mjavon12311]

My answer to this question is the same one I've had for years; I genuinely believe that if you enjoy one of these games, you will enjoy the other one too if you just give it a chance. The games have a lot of shared DNA, but are enjoyable for different reasons. In OSRS the grinds can feel more rewarding mentally but in RS3 the rewards are much more tangible. A great example is Sins of the Father vs. Lord of Vampyrium. In both of these quests, you unlock Darkmeyer and a weapon that whoops some vyrewatch ass, but in OSRS the best reward for doing so is a blood shard which requires an amulet of fury to even do anything with. In RS3's Darkmeyer, you unlock one of the best methods for training prayer and combat in the game for ironmen which is also 100% afk, gives enough supplies to replace all of the super restores you use during the method and still profit on them, and on top of all of this gives decent firemaking xp as well. Completing quests in OSRS feels good because you completed the quest, completing quests in RS3 feels good because you get some bomb ass rewards.

[@christ8048]

Im sorry but your assessment of reward in osrs is lacking. Unlocking darkmeyer in osrs opens the path not only to great combat xp, which can make you a great amount of money via said blood shards, but also some of the highest gp per hour money per skill via thieving and agility, with the hallowed sepulcher also being the highest xp rates for agility in the game. It's not nearly as flat as "you can get a blood shard that you cant do anything with" and your comment reeks of bias.

[@readifdumb]

With OSRS you should treat it as a lifelong adventure. That may not sound appealing, but I've seriously been playing off and on for years, and to see how far I've come is really heartwarming. While RS3 might give you that immediate dive into end game, you'll lose out on that sense of progression. It's similar with WoW nowadays, where in Classic it took 100s of hours to reach end game, but in retail it takes one session. I am more connected to my WoW Classic character than I am my WoW Retail one for this very reason. I can remember all the little moments and things that happened, areas I explored, but in Retail WoW it feels like a blur of constant shit. RS3 feels that exact same way to me. Also if you play OSRS on phone, you can easily get 99 woodcutting, fishing, or 99 in bank standing skills, all while you're out at work, on break, etc. Even if it is the slowest methods, you won't really care as long as you reach your goals.

Ended up earning enough trust to get tipped off that an internal power struggle was coming thanks to the integration of a Russian mining corp into our chain of operation, and I liquidated nearly everything silently over a week long period of when many players had IRL obligations with finals.

You've ALMOST convinced me to play RS3 just for the quests. I am one of those rare players that enjoys learning about the lore of the game.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like the only runescape player in the universe who reads dialogue, lol. After like a 15 year "break", i decided to just make a new account instead to try rs3.... And experiencing all the new quests and old reworked quests has been awesome. And the new quests actually have interesting puzzles you can do without a guide. Whereas a lot of old quests are just... Well, I understand why so many people need guides, me included.

[@arCtiKtube]

I personally highly recommend both games. Since you're already deep in the world of osrs, starting an ironman on RS3 wouldn't be as daunting. The first big chunk of quests is mostly the same as oldschool's, but once you get to a quest called While Guthix Sleeps, it fully moves into the modern storyline of RS3. And I love the lore in RS3, and if you love lore then you should immediately try digging into Archaeology in RS3 if you try it out. I played RS3 up until the day group ironman came out in osrs, me and some good friends have been going hard on that since it came out, and I haven't looked back yet. But lately I have been craving starting an ironman on RS3 to play through the game as it is today.

[@mercster]

Don't listen to the kids who have decided that liking OSRS and hating RS3 is "cool". It's just groupthink on a massive level. Yeah, there's some microtransactions you can buy.

Dark Age of Camelot I started in 2003. was just an insane game, came out alongside wow and was essentially the same game but slightly different premise. I stopped around 2007 and returned in 2017 and they had essentially streamlined the leveling process because its main focus was pvp. so the equivalent being pking being the only thing keeping runescape alive, so they streamlined the xp rates so everyone could max in less than a week, and the only focus of the game was pvp or high end pvm for BIS gear. was kinda crazy experience coming back and seeing players that never stopped playing from 2001. Most people that play runescape would have loved Dark Age, it just required fairly high end spec pc and a large download with higher monthly subscription fee. Dark Age also mirrored runescape where they had one expansion that decimated the playerbase called "Trial of Atlantis". was the equivalent of EoC update. Playerbase plummeted overnight. Fun looking back and seeing the parallel between the only two games I played growing up. Great vid J1m!

[@docbreezie613]

I grew up on DAoC. The PvP, I felt, just became obsolete to optimize your character since it was always 8v8 or 100v70 (or something like that) when the God-tier player of each realm came online

[@mahaok1]

Yeah as one of the people who actually does play runescape for the lore and quests i will say rs3 is where you want to be, however i will say the quests that were created for osrs (i.e ones that are leading to payoffs that wont happen) are actually really good as well such as a kingdom divided and a taste of hope and in some cases its reallly interesting to see each team use the lore in different ways.

[@banditologic6168]

Gotta say, RS3 is criminally underrated. OSRS has a lot of the 'andy' feel and nostalgia chasing where as with RS3 I found literally everything to just be a breath of fresh air, even if I was doing a quest I had done 6 times before it just feels different, offers to keep that freshness and 'wonder' in quests that are 15 years old.

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

RS3 feels wrong. It's not about being an Andy, but about recognizing when something is not meant the way it is now. The direction RS3 took was authoritarian. It's not something the largest portion of the community that has played the game for years asked for. The changes they did to the combat were tyrannical and marked the final nail in the coffin for most. That's why normies, mobile players who have no clue how to turn on a pc, whales and/or depressed souls are the only ones playing it regularly.

[@Firebomb571]

@@Fuerwahrhalunke You're delusional man. J1mmy even said in the video that aside from the interface the combat is basically exactly the same. If you don't want to play it then cool, that's fine, but if you cant figure out how to point and click in a game with updated graphics and interface, then I don't think the developers are the problem. I would like to bet that most OSRS players have not touched RS3 in a long time, or didn't try to give it a fair chance. also crazy to say that you think that people who play RS3 are "normies, whales, and depressed people" like? brother you're playing a game that's over 20 years old, and I hope you can see the irony in that

As someone who tried to get into OSRS after years and years on an Ironman on RS3 (Superior way to play btw) I personally prefer RS3 because you can get stuff done faster. When I only have so many hours in my adult life to waste playing games at least 500k xp/ph methods actually get me somewhere where OSRS I have to spend 5 days at 40k xp/ph to get the same accomplishment. And yes put on blinders and play RS3 ironman but find a clan to interact with. Interaction isn't dead it just doesn't really leave the clan chat box or wars retreat

I just downloaded RS3 last night and logged in with my 16 year old account, which hasn't been used since 2012. It's surreal seeing how familiar yet different everything is. I was f2p back then, but I finished every f2p quest. I logged in last night and I still have full Rune (and scimmy), fancy boots, an anti-dragon shield, and the food my classmate gave me for Elvarg. I only have 48 Attack, 50 Strength, 49 Defense, and 47 Hitpoints. I also only have 11 Prayer, which is 99 on my OSRS character. I mean, I was f2p back in RS2 so I got those levels by burying bones. It feels so weird playing this character again.

[@alexackayak1]

I play on project 1999 it's a emulated everquest server that runs the original game and the 1st 2 expansions. The new player experience built into the game is atrocious it's a hard game and nothing is explained very well however the community that has been built around it is super kind and and is what has made me sink hundreds of hours into the game so far. Basically anyone you meet is willing to stop and help you out or explain something to you, experienced players stand in newbie zones giving buffs and free items all the time the community is really what makes the old mmos so great

[@dsVektor]

I returned to RS3 on a fresh account in 2013, after quitting when EoC was announced. Unfortunately Ironman wasn't a thing yet, but regardless, it's been the most fun I've had in RuneScape since starting in 2007. The bossing is fun, the new skills are the best they've ever made, especially Invention. The quests are really nice, though there were some duds. I actually enjoy the faster EXP rates, because it allows you to focus on the endgame more, instead on mindless grind.

[@CrapsGoodxD]

Exactly they litterally left insane ed3 combat exp gains so you can get ur combat fast if u just wanna play and fight the really fun stuf

[@FrostedMike]

I'm in the same boat. My old account from the early 2000's still exists but I wanted to experience the game as a new player. Started a regular RS3 account and I like the progression there more. I quit the game originally because of the grind and found out after spending 20 F2P hours that there is less grind in RS3 even without microtransactions. I will say it though that the P2W is very dominant. I also find the base treasure keys you get every day is more than enough for the grind. I also stayed for the lore because it's awesome. Unlike 20 years ago, I do read the dialogue...

[@groerhahn225]

I mean yeah you can skip to end game quickly, but therefor in OSRS, the mid game doesn't suck and is just as enjoyable as the end game. RS3 just went down the route of neglecting everything but end game content, while OSRS adds a lot of content that is irrelevant for the end game. Like the Ruins of Camdozaal. I think that's the main reason OSRS is more popular nowadays. This and that it's not full of predatory p2w mechanics.

[@exantiuse497]

The high XP rates aren't a strict negative, even though they're a thing many OS players like to bash them for ruining the "accomplishment" of someone who gained 99s 10 years ago. High xp rates lower the barrier of entry If you want to get into OSRS bossing you need to spend hundreds of hours leveling up your combat skills before that. If you want to slay some low to mid level bosses in RS3, you can take a fresh account and level it up enough in one evening. I actually asked an OSRS mate of mine to try out RS3, we leveled up his account for an evening in ED3 and went to some entry level bosses the next. It was fun but he decided RS3 wasn't his thing which I respected. Nevertheless, that wouldn't have been possible on OS xp rates

[@vladimir4526]

​​@@exantiuse497No wonder why he stopped. When u rush the leveling. And go directly to endgame. Ur ruining his progression, wich is the base of an mmo. New players should advance slowly. The faster u progress, the faster u get bored. When u eat a little, u want more. When u eat too much, u had enough. Its quite simple. And its the reason OSRS and old mmos were way more popular than modern mmos. They knew how to make an addictive game. Instead of a game u get bored in 1 week.

[@dinospumoni5611]

Just wanna mention since you said there's no microtransactions in OSRS, you can buy bonds which can MASSIVELY increase your progression especially in buyables and combat.

[@manoffew]

I don't know why this isn't mentioned enough. Most of OSRS players play at the GE as well. Nobody in either game is mining 100K+ ores to level smithing themselves. It's not just a RS3 thing. And the portable skilling/dummies are not efficient and people who actually care about skilling efficiently aren't spending money on treasure keys. It's mostly junk. You aren't getting 99s in anything in 2 hours. Maybe 20 hours and $10,000 later, but it's just not an efficient method and nobody does it.

[@HotGumb0]

Yo! I don't play it much now but a few years ago i sunk a few hundred hours into GW2 and like, its a great game. And tbh i found most of my fun in the low level exploring/levelling stage. The 'quests' are SO easy to just do on accident since you dont ever have to pick up a 'quest' you just come across regional tasks. Like achievement diaries. It's pretty great at bringing in new players for single player content and then it expands into more group content as you go. Highly reccomend as just a little refresher every now and then for some more dynamic gameplay

[@all0nc0mbat]

100% agree if anyone wants to try out RS3 do so as an ironman. But one main downside is the amount of dailies for upkeep as an ironman but other than that it's a lot more achievement fulfilling

[@exxplosion9276]

On the achievements and buying capes, I think at least for me even though im not on an ironman my achievements became more personal. I have spent money on mtx but that was only for bank expansions and cosmetic sets never on keys. So when i get a 99 or any other achievement me and my clan have a little celebration, on top of that a lot of accounts on rs3 are older accounts or long term players so 99's become more meaningless on a time frame where high end players push for 200m xp and skills get upgraded to have content up to 120. Overall solid video though.

incredible video as always, ive only ever played rs3 and osrs is not for me, i think rs3 really shines at the end game n the journey thru midgame is quite adventurous, micro transactions arent actually all that terrible as after a while your brain automatically ignores most of it and seeing people swipe their cards for skills is actually quite rare to see, all the points you made were very fair and pretty accurate but i feel like SOME of the mentioned negatives dont actually negatively impact your own enjoyment of the game. the early game is very mid and confusing tho

I can tell you how it feels to see lumbridge for the first time. I have a photographic memory and certain memories or moments in my life which held great significance to me, have an even greater range of memory for the event. I remember exactly the I finally convinced my parents to let me play the game everyone was playing. RuneScape! The year was 2007 and it was a cloudy day on spring break of fourth grade. I sat down and played through the tutorial island with the advice my friends gave me in mind. I was full of excitement and curiosity, every click of the mouse and every word of dialogue pulled me deeper into the world I had heard so much about. Then, as I clicked the final stroke of the mouse button and witnessed my character teleport in that old pixelated animation with the whir and whistle of the magical audio…. I saw it. A castle with gray walls of stone surrounding me, people with strange clothes and dances hollering in the grounds and streets. I took a moment to look around and felt something different than before on tutorial island. It wasn’t the anxious feeling of impatience and excitement. It was a feeling of awe, wonder, truly I was stunned in silence, by the time I had finished simply exploring and observing this incredible place called Lumbridge, I looked to the clock and saw that I had spent the entire 7 hours left of daylight just wandering around a fantasy town. That very moment, I knew that I would play this game for the rest of my life. I’m 26 years old now, divorced, father of 3.
