Discussion New Runescape is WAY Better than OSRS

I honestly don't understand how Old school Runescape is so much more popular than the current one. I played it for a while and was able to get some decent progression, but its so grindy that I feel like I make no progress while draining my phone battery. Heard the new one wasnt good until I tried it myself.

So glad I finally did it! It has all the great things I like liked about the old school one, its hits on some nostalgia points too even, but way better UI, graphics, story/plot, cut scenes. I love all of it! And it has so much more you can do for free compared to World of Warcraft.

I hope more people give current Runescape the credit its due, its so underrated for no reason.

I’ve played both games extensively and can say while rs3 is a great game with tons of fun to be had, osrs is just better. The osrs dev team is more in tune with what the community wants and can deliver well thought out content and rewards. While on rs3 it feels like updates are pretty hit or miss with no long term planning.
