I've been there play RS
-
In general, I believe if your looking for an enjoyable and fulfilling way to kill some time while not taking things too seriously or maybe get involved with a decent online neighborhood, RS3 is the thing to do. Compared to RuneScape gold is your thing to do if your looking for a sense of accomplishment from the time you have spent online. If you're looking for RuneScape with longevity, however, I'd propose RS3, despite it's own bunch of problems and despite what OSRS players will tell you, and want to believe themselves, OSRS is not heading in a good direction long term. Community shrewd, together with the toxicity of this community and the absolute immunity to anything that contrasts with their nostalgia, Jagex will eventually have to choose between satisfying it's old player base and keeping their player base altogether.
Why is RuneScape good for me personally is dueling somebody on the Wilderness or hunting other players. Skilling and PvM is complete shit 90% of their time. You will find items like raids and particular managers that could be fun but I don't think they warrant the massive number of hours you have ta sit on your computer to grind. I really don't think RuneScape is great once you need some sort of distraction to keep your attention away from the boredom which may be a slayer job, fishing, agility, etc. I really don't think I can ever explain any game I have ever played as something"I do to the side" it almost appears to be a part-time occupation.
Same is true for PvM, before you reach the tail-end of it, you'll fight monsters exactly the same manner for hours and hours. People think of progression as"numbers heading up" but it lacks a whole lot of depth in like 80 percent of it. It's also a weird, encounter. If you are skilling for resources or training battle at certain spots it is almost like you want to avoid running into gamers because they might get in the way of your practice. I've met plenty of folks but it's always the same, maybe 1 dialog and I will never talk to them again, CCs constantly discuss the same things too. I will guess according to your name you made an account simply to vent about RuneScape. It is ok, I've been there too.
I love how osrs is a sandbox mmo in contrast to the conventional theme park mmo. I select my avenues and work towards my goals wether it is to grind out a skill for a particular diary or Best OSRS Gold site a quest released 10 years ago with a good reward. I can leave and pick up RuneScape in 1 year old and I wont have to play catch up because I missed a ton of dailies or my gear isnt considered outdated and shit since I missed 2 new dungeons or raids. I typically dislike mmos, especially theme park mmos because I dont want to deal with them just like a second job/a chore to maintain myself relevant. There's also no sentimental significance to a lot of those things because I know they are gonna become outdated in the next big patch. In osrs I will get an infernal cape and wear that shit with pride since it's been one of, if not the very prestigious item in RuneScape for 3 decades. Give me a mythical item in WoW and it'll become obsolete within another raid.
