^ that is the real one.
Old School Runescape, OSRS, one of the oldest and, let's be real here, best MMORPG's ever made.
The mobile client is also brilliant.
Plus, it's only 11$ - • Noisestorm - Crab Rave...
As usual, Thank you to my Patrons and Twitch subs, you guys let me make stuff.

I'm watching this whilst playing old school Runescape, so I'm excited to find out if I'm wasting my time or not
You are.
But it's a brilliant game.
@@JoshStrifeHayes hahaha! I absolutely thought as much!
@@JoshStrifeHayes I'd also like to take this moment to thank you, your guide is the reason I currently have a fire cape equipped
@@morrihaig8104 congratz on killing jad dude, its a nerve wracking fight!
@@JoshStrifeHayes thank you!
Short answer: yes. Every second you spend away from the game is a massive xp waste
I'm dead bro

@Maximilian Idk I just finished playing tutorial
@Maximilian it's true, but if ya grind like 40+ hours you'd get a bond.
@Maximilian a bond only gives you memby for 14 days.
But yea, loads of the content is locked behind the membership. That is only a problem though if you can't see yourself ever paying the €6-€10 monthly in the future, for a game you love. The free-to-play version of the game will undoubtedly give you enough content so that you can see if you like the game or not, so there's no risk involved (other than time I guess).
OSRS Wiki has ruined gaming for me. I expect this level of documentation for every game out there and it just doesn't exist. We take for granted this amazing community built resource
I couldn't have stated it better myself.
I started Kingdom of Drakkar, its the first mmorpg so its kinda obvious but there is literally no info anywhere, osrs made my expectations too high aswell.
The fact we've had it for years too, runehq, tipit, zybez etc...
Yup, whenever I play any melee game I have flash backs to using rune warhammers
We used to buy game guides for games like the Zelda games offered on N64. They were detailed as fuck. It was like buying a fat magazine and it being full of tips, tricks, guides, photos,... a step by step way to finish the game in it's entirety. Was epic.
"You are not the chosen one, but you chose to be the one" Very well said and explained about the game and it's story, bosses etc!
To non-players, it may look like you have oversold this.. but god damn you have done a perfect "Should You Play" and not one word is overexaggerated or oversold. Nice one!
I'm someone who wants to play, but I'm a bit turned off by how much of a commitment the game sounds like it is
@@fishy492 Like with a lot of good games, particularly MMO's, you choose the level of commitment you want. The game isn't going anywhere, and Old School Runescape, unlike other MMO's, doesn't punish you in any way for missing release of content. It's always just... 'there', ready to be explored, which is what makes it brilliant.
@@lorefort That's a good point! I don't have too much experience with MMOs, but I think I will give RuneScape a try.
@@fishy492 Good man! Enjoy dude :)
@Dave Velzen I don't fully disagree... but the UI man lol.. the UI.. plus the incessant push for members, and cash shop, etc.. and all the cosmetics, so many.... too much for me.
I love how the game basically never changes drastically, I was training ranged to wear hide and got bored of farming so I quit for a year and then came back and I didn't feel lost or confused for a single second, it was like I didn't left at all. It's cool when a game doesn't punish you for not being active.
Although the bots are still a huge annoyance.
thats the issue with RS3, dont play for a while and come back and its a different game.
@@ElZilchoYo I logged into the new RS after 10 years and I was lost completely so I gave up.
I know this is not related to topic but does osrs have some kind of pick up window ? years ago I used to play rs3 and well there were a window top-left corner that shows what loot is on the ground and you can loot all items on the ground with just one click, I'm playing OSRS right now but can't seems to find that fast looting option in the game, it's really a pain in the ass for me, just wanted to ask if there was any fast looting mechanical in OSRS or only click to loot ?
@@makuogoku2102 Nope, but you can spam click. Other options are things like the ring of wealth or bonecrusher/ash sanctifier who will pickup currency or bury bones/spread ash automaticly without touching the drops in the later game.
From my recent return to rs3 experience coupled with my rs2 and osrs experience, I would say that a mass loot interface is a nice QoL in rs3 but would be redundant in osrs. The value of loot vastly differ in terms of gains, inventory space and time.
@@walshwil that's a pity, guess i'm sticking to rs3 then xD
No1 ever quits OSRS, we just take long brakes from it
Oh I never played it as soon. As it dropped
yup stars rs in 2001 i have stop many time in my life ... but i alway comeback !! -_- lol
I did. This game needs to come into this century. My account is 15 years old and I stopped playing a number of years ago.
@@sebaschiengarceau5470 I've stopped completely when they migrated to RS3 with evolution of combat.... but got me hooked was mobile osrs
Yup, just returned to it after a 4 years break
I started a week ago. Got my frog hat 🐸 and a full set of black armor. Starting to travel further and further. Ppl in this game pretty cool too
Wholesome comment
Welcome to the wonderful world of Gielinor :) How is your adventure going now?
Meet me in varrock bank, I will trim that armour for you
@@MugSpiller 😭
Hope you're still playing!
Easily the best "should you play" video ever, as i just got back into runescape and can't explain why i play it to my friends, i think this wraps it up without going into any complicated details
Yes, bring your friends in, make them join the cult of OSRS.
Boosting the algorithm so more people can see this and start playing 🤙🏽.
I came back after 10 years and I’m loving it just as much as I used to.
I've been looking for a "new game" for me to play, I didn't realize it would be a game older than me that I've always heard about but never played, but you've convinced me.
hows it been coming along?
What happened
Still play? ;p
One of my favorite aspects of OSRS (and RS as well) is how interconnected everything is. What I often do is make a goal, say, "I want to do X late-ish game quest, what do I need?", and the checklist and flowchart of possible things to make my chances better is endless. Rn I'm trainning my ranged so I can use a better weapon against Tz-Tok-Jad to get a fire cape so I can be *slightly* better in a fight, and I'm training it through Slayer, bringing me to every corner of the world. Truly a one-of-a-kind game.
Runescape is forever but if you didn't grow up playing it I can see why it would be hard to get into lol
The graphics looked hilariously bad even in 2001 when I started playing. You played it because it was in a browser, could run on any potato PC with internet and was free to play, a rarity for quality games in those days. Most of the boys in my year discovered it on school computers, likely their first MMO experience ever which makes a huge impact.
@@cattysplat hilariously bad for 2001 ? I have to disagree lol but yea for the most part you're right its was my first mmo and first online experience period so I get what your saying but imo its still a pretty good game that I play till this day
Yeah for the longest time I didn't get it. I'm 43 years old and did not play it in my earlier days. Once every few years I'd run it and be like "Who can play this trash?" But then one day I played it, and started doing a few quests and learned how "things to do/accomplish" stack so nicely... and I finally understood it! I think someone just needs to be in the right mood, and the right frame of mind, to get over that initial hump. But once they do, they'll be a fan for life!
@@mercster I see that you are fascinated by this game, which of course is great! I think that enchanting the player and conveying the atmosphere of a fairy-tale world is the main task of any fantasy game developer. But in truth, this falling in love sometimes makes us blind to serious problems. Personally, I just don't see any point in doing anything in this game, because everything in it is bought and sold for real money. In the first stages, 1000 coins should be a huge amount for you. You are given quests like "buy a bucket" and even this assumes that you have no money at all and you need to earn the first 5 coins somewhere and understand how everything works. But if you are a millionaire, everything in the game becomes just nonsense. You don't need to develop skills and spend days in mines, you don't need to craft anything. You just go and buy everything in any quantity.
@@W_0_W I think it is incredibly stupid to not play a game because others are doing what you think is "cheating". Especially in Runescape, which is mostly a solo game. Yes you can work with others, join a clan, etc.. but most of the action is self-directed and solo. Who cares if someone else bought their fancy gear? If your only goal in playing a video game is to be better/look cooler than other folks, there are games for that. Runescape isn't one of them. Have a good day.
Been playing RS for 15 years and I still learn something new every other time I play - crazy good game, love the community. Great video!
So you have spinal issues as well. Hell yeah same here by God I spent a large chunk of my natural lifespan on this
@@tieracushman7050 LMAO nice projection bro, not everyone sits with shitty posture and doesn't exercise and only sits down or is born a certain way to predispose him to spinal issues like you. RS still shitty tho
@@stayontrack he was telling a joke and you're just being a jerk
Just started my first Ironman account and feels like a new game. Mobile is great for when at work and wanna keep the gains going, always meet interesting people and have unforgettable experiences.
"You can play for 10 years and not max all your skills.. You can play for 15 and not have done every quest."
Oh thank God I thought for a second there I just really sucked.
Absolutely! I just started playing and I love this game, honestly if wow had the same quest model the game would be twice as popular
If you just started let me help you out, never compare to wow lol gl
nah it wouldn't effect WoW at all. End game WoW isnt about quests, its about PvP, and PvM, and gearing your account. Quests would literally do nothing, unless they gave nutty rewards.
I like the quests in osrs, but the fact that everyone looks up guides to do them (and did this back in 2007) is a pretty bad thing for quests as a whole.
@@jonmacdonald2193 Thats because you want to lol. Vast majority of quests are easly done without guides
@@jonmacdonald2193 The major difference between OSRS and WoW is that OSRS doesn't have an "end game". You can do your PvP and PvM/gearing at whatever levels you want (obviously within reason; you're not going to be doing solo CoX at level 50), you don't have to wait until you're maxed out until you start.
Lol. Until you start another account such as an alt or ironman and it's hold the space bar down.
Awesome video. A mate of mine got me into this Mid last year, half the reason was the graphics if not most of it. I once got past that he helped me splash get my magic so I can teleport places and here I am 7 months later loving every bit of it and grinding up a storm. Never played it back in the day when it was popular so no nostalgia. But the amount of content is insane.
Wow you used to be my old clan leader in runescape haha. Thats cool that I stumbled upon this channel.
You could never kill this game; its like an addiction. You might quit for a long time but, let's be honest; in reality you're just taking a break.
True, I quit playing the game for almost 2 years and just got back into it last night.
easy fix, ask jagex to delete your account(s) I did and worked like a charm, sure as hell can't be arsed to ever make a new one
As someone who quit from Jan 2015 to August 2018 and just came back from another 10 month break, yes I can confirm.
It's really moreish. Like crack.

“Try to do Song of the Elves without a guide, I dare you.”
You’ll be crying yourself to sleep after failing so many times LMFAO
i guess imma be crying myself to sleep once i grind all these 70s

Honestly SOTE isn't really that bad. The puzzles are pretty straightforward, and my main complaint is that the puzzles, far from being impossible without a guide, are closer to being kind of too easy, just a bit time consuming. I think the MEP2 light puzzle is actually far harder, and that part is the only part of any of the quests that I used a guide for, personally.
I think people feel SOTE needs a guide because of the trauma of MEP2, expecting it to be even worse.
@@Clawdragoons agreed. SOTE has none of the trap and monster damage causing you to have to manage your supplies effectively that make MEP2 so horrifyingly awful. Sure, there are a few agility checks but realistically you can get by on just a few bits of food. No biggie.
Also, the moon logic of some of the other quests in the game makes these puzzles look well designed and straightforward. And often answers are hidden in a way where you need to be aware of the environment you are in, lore, remembered information and a basic understanding of tools in the game.
In other words, quests are often mysteries that require you to pay attention at every stage to figure out the solution.
They are really fun :)
Rs never a waste of time as long as your enjoying what your doing and getting life done at the same time.
What if someone enjoys smoking crack?
What if someone enjoys smoking weed?
problem is it draws in more and more of your time, which gradually makes it harder to get life done. It's easy to be put into a really really really shitty situation in life over time just because of playing this game, this won't happen to everyone but i've seen it happen time and time again and it almost happened to me.
Great video! Only thing I would add is I think you are going to make people underestimate how difficult combat in OSRS can actually be. At low levels it seems exactly as you mentioned but higher level bosses it becomes very difficult to learn, especially with the mechanics each boss has.
OSRS is 100% an MMO worth starting in 2021. The game still continues to grow its player base, runelite is incredible (make sure your downloading it from runelite.net) and once its on Steam that will take it to another level again.
The game is grindy but thats part of the fun, theres so much content and unbeatable quests. Mobile is great too.
Every time I "quit" Runescape I watch a few videos on RUclips and I'm back playing again. It's too good.
Everytime I "quit" heroin I watch a few videos on RUclips and I'm back shooting up again. It's too good.

Runescape is life.
"The game doesn't begin at endgame. It begins the moment you start playing and then just gets better."
This.
Seriously this.
I don't need and want to do a main quest for a story the game is not really interested in making me care with their lousy storytelling nor do it for areas I will only visit once and forget or to level myself up without purpose outside of needing to reach endgame so I can finally "play" the game.
Let me play the game right from the beginning.
OSRS, absolutely nailed it for the most part.
@Dave Velzen ???
I've already done the quest? All 3 for uhh... 2x already. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to tell.
Best MMORPG quests, hands-down. Runescape has spoiled me, I will never enjoy killing 5 goblins as a "quest".
Ya. Watching them argue over the color of their armor is how a goblin problem quest should go
@@walshwil It’s far more interesting and funny than killing a certain number of enemies.
B-but having an NPC tell me to go talk to another NPC constitutes as an entire quest, riiiiight?>
Why don't I get random rewards for talking to NPC's?
Or for picking up and bringing back some items?
Maaaan, there aren't even "quest markers" how am I supposed to do quests?
The quests are all boring, you are just using runehq and following guides, no one actually figured all of them out by themselves. Terrible quest design.
@@A5tr0101 They are boring because you used a guide lol
“Sometimes toxic” pvp made me lol
Always * lol
This game also has so much history. Two words: Falador Massacre
That was an epic day
Recently got back into osrs, had to Google this. That's amazing they turned it into in-game lore with its own event
I have a 16 years old runescape account, I spent $80 on cyberpunk... I got my money back and its going into my first membership on old school rs now. My character is level 3 and im excited to replay the game again, fuck all the new games that came out recently, im gonna play something that was always fun

I’ve been playing for nearly 10 years on and off, I sometimes take literally a year off the game and come back later on and still enjoy mining the same 3 rocks for an hour straight to get my mining level up whilst I watch RUclips videos on the side.
I was contemplating getting back into the game just so I had an excuse to watch The Walking Dead on Netflix lmao
Started playing Osrs for the first time ever about 3-4 weeks ago. Rather obsessed at the moment. I can see how you could get burnt out grinding a single skill. So I pretty much bounce around as I get tired of stuff. Managed to get 70+ quest points so far. Just started Barbarian fishing. Have 70 strength and managed to farm Obor the Hill giant demi boss 4 times. Addicted.
Just remember 92 is halfway to 99 :P
Best of luck getting out of the addiction, you can do it
Have been playing runescspe since 2002-03. I love the game, we all "quit" our mmos from time to time but always have that one that we go back to. That's Runescape. Awesome review, love the Vids 🤟
I started Runescape when I was in 5th grade. I played religiously, until I was 28. Literal YEARS of ingame playtime on my longest running character. Nevermind older characters I forgot the logins to, or got banned.
Moved to FFXIV earlier this year, but RS has a very special place in my heart, and the toxic fanbase and fabulous clan members are in my heart as well, corrupting my views of every other MMO fanbase that logs out and wastes XP like a bunch of noobs.
Sometimes, I really miss Castle Wars..
I first discovered josh strife by bumping into him training slayer on our Ironmen at waterfall dungeon fire giants. I find amazing people by playing RuneScape all the time!
I've been playing this game since 2006, and I still pick it up every once in while.
FYI, Leagues IV just dropped and it's pretty much ushered in a 2nd Golden Era of Runescape. The other week, we hit 200k consecutive players online at once, which is insane and we haven't seen since actual 2007.
If i had to choose 1 game to play for the rest of my life OSRS IS WERE IT'S AT! highly recommend best long term and most satisfying game I've ever found by far.
This couldn't of been worded better, good job mate.
Thanks dude :)
loved coming back to this game, mining in Motherload mine as we speak :D
The idle notifier ping at 10:23 had me checking all my tabs lol
My friend is introducing me to OSRS right now. Loving every second so far. My only gripe with the game is that I didnt know it existed growing up.
I recently started a week ago and i feel it is very enjoyable for new players
4-5 mins in and I think one key thing to mention (dunno if you mention it later) is the gameplay is rooted largely in the much older text based adventure videogames and stuff like DnD, this is very apparent if you turn the "Game" tab onto standard instead of filtered as almost every action you take is essentially narrated back to you as if you were playing a text based fantasy adventure, it's also why the combat is so simple and is basically just an invisible dice roll and stat check
And I think this is an important distinction because it's what separates it from a lot of other mmorpgs, it's arguably the game that modernized old rpg's, it took the old formula and said "how do we turn a text adventure into a living breathing world with visuals and audio" where as almost all other mmorpgs are thinking "how do we make an mmorpg/copy a successful one"
The degree of freedom and intractability in the game as well is what really sells it for me, sure you can't customize everything and build things etc, it's not a sandbox, but there is enough random stuff in the game and ways to interact with things that you can create your own stories, ya know, the whole roleplaying part of an mmorpg, for example I created my own quest within the game using items and interactions my friend hadn't seen before, taking them to odd places, even using spells they'd never seen before to add visual flare, and the crazy thing is even though this game is old af I wouldn't be able to come close to replicating that quest in any other mmorpg I've played because nothing has come close to this level of roleplaying freedom.
holy hell I've been watching your second channel while playing osrs. Come to find this channel and now I'm excited to see your interpretation of my favorite game.
It gives me so much nostalgia thats why i play it
I remember seeing your channel back in the day and thinking 'hes going to get big'. Here i am
Your play videos are exceptional.
I have 210 days played on my RuneScape 3 account, that’s over 5,000 hours. I took a year off because my computer broke and now I’m back in it.
This game is fantastic. Just avoid the players on Reddit, they LOVE to complain about everything and if you spend too long there you’ll find yourself following drama that you don’t even care about. Enjoy the game, take a couple suggestions, new players are welcomed with open arms because veteran players are aware of the reality that some people do leave for good and we want to keep the game afloat.
Btw I have maybe 30 hours in osrs and I started playing around 2008-2009 so I never played during the “good ole days” and easily transitioned to RuneScape3 without a problem.
I loved playing this game and used to hang out in some of the higher skill total worlds. It's really fun and leveling skills is usually pretty relaxing. I think it's worth playing. People shouldn't turn away because of the graphics or simple looking gameplay. Also I love toxic pvpers they remind me of every other game with pvp.
I still had fun but I did have a couple problems. It felt really hard to find stuff worth doing together with friends and sometimes wasting membership time felt a little lame.
For stuff to do with friends you could ask them to do mini games. Even maxed accounts haven’t finished their diary’s (like additional challenges for rewards) meaning they need to grind a lot of barbarian assault. Soul wars is another great mini game for pvp practive well also getting points to level other skills. Pest control also works but there is different level boats.
Thank you for this comment I’ll have to show my friends the games and take them there.
Man didnt think someone would sum up my entire life in 7 seconds
Love your videos Josh. We are looking to use a clip from your video on a new essay. Would that be ok? We would credit you in the description!
Been playing for years... it has way too much content and very unique to this day, you can literally play this while watching movies / youtube and doing other shit, because there are certain things / skills you can level up without paying too much attention.
This is one of the primary features which people do not understand how underrated it is, that I do not have to stop playing games just because I watch a movie or do other shit..
Autoplay games are usually seen as pretty terrible and for good reason. Not sure what the difference is here.
Best video describing OSRS I've ever seen. You deserve more viewers and subscribers! :)
I have over 2000 hours played but I'm glad I watched the entire video so now i know I should play
Glad i helped.
I just wish OSRS was 09-10 Runescape
I second this
what was 09-10 runescape? iv'e been on many breaks of years between playing so im not 100% sure on the difference of the RS versions over the years, i am almost exclusively familiar with just how OSRS is right now.
it pretty much is 09-10 runescape with reskinned items, you have the HD client, nex items, rapier/fang which are balanced chaotics, dungeoneering is in the form of raids and gauntlet, korasi is being added soon. its 09 without the power creep
I loved the comment of doing Song of the elves without a guide. I did it the day it was released no guide and man, fun time but fkn challenging, would recommend
watching this in 2024 seeing clips of the sand casino and josh saying bandos would be bis after a year break and come back almost makes me feel the nostalgia of when staring my osrs journey when the servers dropped.
I've been looking for a new mmorpg to scratch the old school itch. I never played Runescape in its heyday, though always heard people talk about it. I was in FFXI at the time. Now, I'm impressed by the game. Playing on mobile and loving it.
For anyone whos never played any form of RS:
This game will be hard to get into. You will have to look at the wiki (the best in all gaming, but still), and youtube constantly to get enough knowledge for you to figure out what you want to do.
That being said, it's because you have the unfathomable level of freedom why you have to put the legwork in to study. It doesn't really play like an MMO, it's more of a charming RPG with people you can chat with, centered around accomplishing goals whether arbitrary or concrete.
I still don't think there exists a video out there that *really* captivates why this game is so amazing. It's just like an unreal amount of information to tell you, but at the same time for a normal player it just feels like knowing how to ride a bike, the alphabet, tying your shoe, etc. But to try to explain all of that at once just makes it too hard to retain attention.
This game's weakest point is the fact that it is incredibly hard to play this game without prior experience or in-game guides/friends. I promise you can preserve and learn how to enjoy the wiki/youtube/ your own exploring which means trying to find other players to give advice.
It sounds funny, but if you get past this wall it's the best and most unique game potentially in the world. To the point it becomes a life changing decision to play RS, i.e. any free time you have will become this game.
im on a 2 year break rn
you've explained this perfectlly
LESGOOO RUNESCAPE
You mentioned FFXIV in one part. It's funny I had an itch to play an mmo and so I chose that one but it just didn't quite scratch the itch. So I started playing Runescape, made a group hardcore Ironman account and I am having a blast. Thank God for Runescape.
One month later and Old School RuneScape is on Steam.
"You are not the chosen one, but you chose to be the one." That was a really well written line, dude, you should be proud.
Gotta say he is totally correct when he says it's a long term game with short term things to do. Been playing since before OSRS was even the current game. Used to be worse graphics on a JavaScript website window. Still haven't maxed an account. Of course I also lost my old account info through the years and it wouldn't have mattered for OSRS anyway as it is a different server. Still waiting on sea farring
I knew I was going to agree with everything you said at the beginning because you have true tile on.
This is perfectly true.
I'm a veteran in this game and played since 2006. I think never in my life have I played a more amazing and enjoying MMO like Runescape. This game simply won't ever die, because of how it's built: so many MMOs these days have forced daily/weekly grind that punish you for missing out a day... this game on the other hand, you can take a break a year or even more and when you come back, you just start again where you left off... it's by far one of the best games in this genre.
Sure, for newer players, this game does look outdated, it looks boring, the combat looks dull.... but I really can just suggest to screw that feelings, take a deep breath and try it for yourself. You will never ever find any MMO that can give you such a unique experience.
And no, just like Josh said.... YOU decide how you want to play and progress in this game, not the game decides for you.
Also... trust me when I tell you... the combat does look simplistic and very easy, however if you do reach the hardest content of the game, it's probably one of the most challenging and complex things I've ever witnessed in a MMO.
I tried to get back into it in in May for dmm, then again in November. Didn't last two weeks each time; I think given the current shitshow pvp is, I won't be returning.
Thanks for making this video!
I've just created an account and i'm having so much fun!

RIP citizens of Falador.
You’ve sold me, I’m playing Old RS again. Last time I’ve played this game was 2010
I started playing runescape in 2019. Started with rs3 then switched to OSRS. Extremely Grindy but I enjoy it. I don’t sweat but the quests are interesting and it’s just a dope ass game. The game feels extremely alive to me and I’ve made lots of friends playing.
Others have already mentioned this in the comments but put some sort of indicator in your description or a pinned comment about the fact that downloading the RuneLite client from runelite.com or runelite.org will get your account stolen! Only runelite.net is safe.
cant even remmember where i downloaded from.. just uninstalled and installed the right one.. better safe than sorry! TY!!
@@kongkarry can never be too careful :D change your credentials too if you're worried
I think o little mention of how complicated end game pvm would be nice as its the most fun aspect of the game imo. The skill cap is so high and the challanges are endless.
Some nightmare content or TOB on display would have been cool
I’m gonna play OSRS until the day the servers close forever!! ❤️
It's so popular that a fan based server will pop up in its place the next day and will have a steady 20k population on week 1. 😀
Started OSRS IM in 2022, its so awesome!
Dude I thought this shit died a decade ago! I've been too busy having fun in FF14 stove ARR to realize it's been alive and well this whole time. After I give ESO another shot, this will absolutely be next up! Had a full rune set back in the day but lost it all from a scammer cause I was a dumb kid lol.
i would argue that the only truly interactive and fun content is reserved (with the exception of a few mid tier quests) for near end game - raids, REAL pvp, challenging bossing, drops worth slayer-ing for, etc.
plot twist: in this video josh tells us he's done playing osrs and absolutely hates the game
If only i were able to
It is a love hate relationship
Nobody quits runescape, they just take long breaks.
@@cattysplat literally lolol
@@cattysplat beyond literally. i played as a kid and every few years i get back into it lol.
I absolutely love your videos man keep them coming 🤌🤌
I just started playing a couple of weeks ago now and absolutely love it, best time waster ever
One of the best games EVER made.
Honestly, OSRS is what RS should be. It's a fantastic game and everyone should try it. It won't be for everyone but I'm a firm believer that there is something for everyone in it.
@Jamie Last I play rs3 over osrs. I don’t even know what frame of mind I was in when I posted that comment. 😂
Damn this video motivated me into finishing monkey madness 1 lol
man, I used to play this game from I'd say age 9 to 13 and now as a 20 year old I'm very much debating picking this up again - used to have so much fun on it
i just started old school rune scape and love it so far
Its on steam now baby! :D
Also fire cape looks awesome. I never got that far in osrs. I should go back to it.
Ive got a beginner guide to getting it if you're after some tips :)
@@JoshStrifeHayes Thx. I'll take a look into it, i'm actually a free to play, i've been thinking about reaping the rewards from the Stronghold Of Security.
@@spahghettiboi4150 u should look up the infernal cape u have to fight 3 jads at once :p
this game has something you can't find in any other game in existence MMO or not
a freaking Fashion community
ironicly i started playing osrs today after not playing since 2016 and began binge watching your videos on the other screen
played since release decided to stop this year because of the neglected botting problem.
There's not much they can do about it. The way the game functions it's very easy for bots to go undetected. Also the development team is quite small so getting anything fixed or done is likely not happening over night.
While watching I was downloading Runescape. A new player coming!
"Try to do Song of the Elves with no guide" lmao no thanks. It's hard enough with a guide
You're not wrong.
I started for the first time a few days ago. Just watching this while catching butterflies.
Wasted 4K hours of my life maxing my account. Wish I never played.
you dont mean that
Idk man that is a massive accomplishment, could've been watching TV that entire time but you chose to keep your brain busy.
you had 4000 hours to figure out if you were wastiing your time or not lol?
@@Heaveaway23 A big reason I spent that time in the game was due to my depression and social anxiety. I ended up seeking help this past summer and ever since I was able to rid myself of those issues I see RuneScape as nothing but a never ending hole that does literally nothing for me anymore. So yeah more than what you expected for a reason but there it is.
@@xenonenigma8314 i hear you games are a good outlet, to be fair there is way more to do than play video games but if you feel a certain way it feels like the only choice
osrs is the best game ever made, playing it is pure bliss. and i am new to it, never played it before..
I wouldn’t waste time on this game unless you’re here for nostalgia. If that’s the case play for a few weeks and honestly find something else. There are so many better games to be playing.
Agree. I have tried this game on multpile occasions and it's beyond clunky.
@@jz2187 I grew up with the game. It's just outdated to me.
I'm quite new to it and I have legitimately no idea what to do
I really want to play it but it's just a bit daunting
“Do the Song of the Elves without a guide. I dare you.” Shit, now I have to.
Yes, you should play no matter the year as long as you are enjoying it or else whats the point. Im not sure if its nostalgia or what but i always end up coming back to this game for some months

I'm sad my ancient accounts are all dead, but I'm almost definitely gonna roll a new account to get back into the game after years away.
Zezima might disagree with me here, but there are a number of puzzle quests that are IMPOSSIBLE to succeed without a guide
