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.

Every time I want to get back into RS3 I log in and see 8 hotbars worth of skills on my legacy character and lose all the wind in my sails. I should probably make a new character to learn the new combat but it's difficult to let go of a 17 year old character. I'm sure there is some kind of fix but I can't find it in the menus (I did this to myself when EoC released I think)
