I have the sudden urge to play runescape again, is it worth getting into 07 or is the new one better? Havent played it since the original back in the day

07 07 07 07 07

There now go play it

the new one is that bad is it?

Its as if wizard 101 aesthetic was mixed in with the grinding and a cash shop

oh damn, alright thanks for the info

Sup Forumsscape

rs3
Don't listen to him, 07scapers are notorious for their vitriol to RS3. Game runs amazingly, the constant updates, more quests and skills, etc.

Pretty sure one membership payment will give access to both rs3 AND 07scape.
So you can try both, that being said 07scape is far superior and has a bigger playerbase.

>far superior

How? The lack of summoning alone makes it inferior. Boring ass bosses aside where you stand there, afk, and eat and every now again

And is dead, no community at all

i always liked the idea of questing in runescape mainly because i never did in back then, are the quests and skills even better? i hear you hit like 100x more than in 07

No it isn't. The community is spread differently than 07. 07 has streamer communities, RS3 has clans. RS3 people gather around in set clans, 07 people tend to be more public. It'sllike a WoW guild with RS3

>stand there, afk, and eat and every now again
So you've only ever done quest bosses. As if liking summoning wasn't already an indication that your opinion is worthless

Quests are better. RS3 has 218 quests. 07 has 136. Summoning adds more to combat and skilling. Ie some summoning familiars give you bonuses, like 10% chance to catch more fish, etc.

Combat level is 138 in RS3 cuz of summoning, 126 in 07.


Also the combat is not afk anymore due to the new combat system in rs3, tho you can use the old system if you want to. 100x more is a slight misinformation. They scalled up. Like.. 99 HP gives you 990 actual hitpoints, they just added a zero to all health, basically. Bosses CANNOT be fought with the old battle system tho, cuz they're designed around the new one and you cannot win with the old system.

Interface is much better too, you can use the old one if you want, but you can also use the new one, and customize it however yo uwant, with as much or as little information on screen as possible

Inferno is literally the same shit as normal quest bosses, except you just have to stand behind a moving pillar

In the event you never did quests and your only interest is with quests, you might as well go with 3scape since it's piss easy to grind out requirements and there's a lot more of them.
07scape is missing some good ones, but the more recent godwank quests (among others) need to be delet.

Old School.

OSRS is entirely community driven, meaning the retarded shit that found its way into RS3 is mostly nowhere to be found in OSRS. OSRS also has a bigger community and an economy that isn't fucked, not to mention no mictrotransactions.

Adding to this, you also have the "Invention" skill, probably the best addition to RuneScape in YEARS. Not only does it make other skilling and combat better with perks you can add to weapons and skilling items, but it also caused skilling to be SUPER profitable again, cuz you need tons of skilling related items to even do inventions. Tho you can't start invention right away... you need 80 crafting, smithing and divination to even get level 1 Invention

Just play both like I do, they are both fine.

kek no. those polls always end with EZScape options winning. Stop acting like the 07 community isn't absolute garbage.

You NEVER see RS3 fans going into 07 livestreams going "LUL 07" but you will ALWAYS see 07 fans going into RS3 streams and shitposting

What would possess a person to get 80 divination?

So basically RS3 for PVE and 07 for PVP?

>OSRS is entirely reddit/pvmer driven
Fixed for you.

Inferno requires almost constant attention in order to not die, which is not afk. Same goes for Zulrah, Raids, the GWD bosses, the DS2 bosses, etc. You need to either move, switch prayers, heal, change combat styles, whatever. Only the basic bitch bosses like giant mole and the wilderness bosses can you just click on until they die.

Because Invention is just so fucking god damn worth getting 80 invention. Fishing Rod-o-matic is something I can't live without
Yup. But RS3 still has active PVP cuz of Warbands D&D, which essentially makes small FFA PVP battles for camps and money and resources. PVP in RS3 is hella fun

PVE isn't better in RS3, only different. Because of EOC the combat is different and the bosses are more fleshed out, but EOC is objectively shit.

divination*

Just play vscape

Absolutely not. When it was first released, it was mediocre at best, but it's incredibly balanced now. It's only shit now if you don't actually fucking try. EOC is amazing especially with the Tuska abilities and the Raid abilities you earn via raids. I unlocked that shit buy using my GP in the GE and it's great

>going into livestreams

>basic combat ability is locked behind a pay/grindwall
laffo

>basic
>one of the most powerful abilities in the game regardless of adrenaline usage.

I think 10M is a very cheap price for two of the best abilities in the freaking game.

So whats the best way to make money in RS3 now? Do i just farm flax for days again?

Sell bonds

PVM and bossing is actually the best way to make money now. Queen Black Dragon is great for mid level bossing. Araxxor the spider/Telos from God Wars Dungeon 2 for high level.

Really tho, a lot of 07 methods work too, but PVM is by far the best

Or that if you really want money RIGHT NOW. You can do that in 07 too, but RS3 bonds are worth 10M+ per bond, and 07 is 1M+

>just started playing for the first time a little while ago
>have spent hours and hours fishing, planning to get to 99
>look up any rewards for getting to 99 and see that I can get a neat cosmetic
>happy for a second, but then realize that it's for members only

What kind of bullshit is that? Anyone who spends enough time getting a skill to 99 should get the reward, I feel. A F2P player has a harder time as it is.

99 fishing actually gives you a skillcape, which have special effects

In RS3: Gives you a chance to catch 2 fish at once
In 07: Free teleport to the Fishing Guild

07 Skillcape perks are absolute garbage compared to RS3

Daddy Jagex has deemed that F2P are the scum of the earth. You don't even get a spot on the high scores anymore. Enjoy Fletching though!

Also the new quests, and the Chaos Elemental, and the Mage Bank

AND Blue Dragons.

Divination is easy as fuck with cache

So I spent like 8 years on my runescape account and it’s pretty much set and maxed out.

Can I transfer it to 07? Or do I have to grind another damn time on it?

And no skillcapes or anything that lets other F2Plebs know you've got a 99

You start at level 3 like anew account

do NOT play RS3 and don't listen to any idiot telling you it's better than osrs

Isn't the fishing guild for members only, though? It says so on the wiki. That's how I learned the cape is for members only too.

Grind it on up, at least now you can use your nuscape account to grind out bonds for 07 membership

07 now

Quick Chat "My Fletching Level is 99"

Yes. I was refering to P2P. You can buy Membership with in game gold tho, so just make the GP and be member

Salty 07ers that Jagex still views RS3 as the main game kek

They're both pretty bad, actual runescape from 2006 was the best. OSRS is an abomination compared to what the real deal was like.

>You can buy Membership with in game gold tho

Are those bonds? How much in-game money is a bond?

no matter what you do you will never be 12 discovering online gaming with RuneScape, talking to other kids and making frendships,
you will never be able to relive that sense of discovery and magic that you did when you were a kid
play for 10 minutes, get bored, do it again 2 years later, repeat forever

07 is constantly getting ruined by Reddit, and RS3 has been trash for 6 years now. Making revs 6m an hour was absolutely retarded.

Yeah, cause you're gonna go up to people and say that whenever the opportunity arises

16M gold. which takes like a few hours to a few days to get

07 bond is 3M, but GP is way harder to get in 07

Check the wiki

No. The grand exchange has still snuffed out 90% of the player interaction and it's not as good as you remember. Nobody is enjoying it for the first time, it's all nostalgia players with their own toxic ironic memes.

Not very good. Everyone is off powergrinding by themselves, the community isn't there anymore. Can't speak for RS03 though.

I read that selling lobsters is pretty good money, so I guess I lucked out leveling fishing. Would you say that's a good way to save up money?

>ywn be a horny preteen ERPing with your ingame gf again

(elf city) Prifddinas, Friends Chats and Clans are the main source of interaction now.

I just wish I could play the old one, with 2d sprites. I quit playing when they switched to RS2. And added fucking sounds.

I'm done with internet games. They suddenly decide you can never play them again and that's it, it's the end.

Fishing is good

When does the old school birthday event start this year?

There's still servers for Classic up (the one with sprites), but last I remember there was some bullshit about how you had to be a member and play it during a certain time window in order to play it after that time expired.

>. The grand exchange has still snuffed out 90% of the player interaction
this is fucking retarded. What joy do you get from going on Zybez and asking people if they're still selling 50 lobsters?

I guess when I reach 98 is fishing I'll grind out money so I can buy a bond so I can get my cape.

>ywn be invited to the top floor of a random building in varrock by a girl only to be 10 and what is this again

>The lack of summoning alone makes it superior
Fixed that for you.

yeah and i think my nostalgia occurred right after that window. I still have my old account though, from the early days. I logged in and couldn't even tell where I was. apparently they don't want my money. also didn't get my party hat because I didn't want to play that christmas because I wanted to spend it with my family. yeah fuck this game

dont bother with rs3 if you want quests that are as good as the original.

They show all the gods so they're no longer mysterious, they kill guthix, they make armadyl homosexual. Trash writing.

>That one RS3 official variant that didn’t have the terrible hotkey combat
>Was free and allowed you to do member content
>pvp always enabled

I want to say it was called Darkscape, basically an answer to 07’s Dead Man Mode, but free. A shame it was shut down, I had some fun times outrunning ganks while skilling/questing. Added a sense of risk, tension, and a thrill when you juked someone.

RS3 for quests. Whatever the fuck you want for everything else.

don't waste your time with either. both trash now.

How difficult is it to get to 10-16M for a bond as F2P?

I played RS3 for a very, VERY long time, but moved onto OSRS for a couple reasons. RS3 is dying, and very quickly. OSRS has consistently double the player count, and since mobile is coming out soon that number is expected to increase.

I also dislike the balancing in RS3. The 2nd best melee weapons in the game (marginally worse than the highest tier) take only 4-5 hours of grinding to buy. Way too cheap, and completely unbalanced.

every f2p resource is already mass collected by bots, so good luck making 3m in a reasonable amount of time

The reason why I have interest in RS3 is mainly for the quests and I'm not sure what goals there are in OSRS anymore besides being a good PvPer

Whats the 2nd best weapon? is it members only?

PLAY FUCKING VSCAPE GODDAMNIT

/vg/ CTRL F 'VSG'

Anyone know any good bots for RS3? Do you have to pay for them?

Yea, the quests in RS3 are really good. But its been over a year since a really good, long quest has been released so I just kinda gave up.

Drygores, and yea they're mems only.

OSRS is overall a better progression based MMO and has more options to make the game interesting.

>ironman
>hardcore ironman
>new quests
>new continent
>new minigames
>new training methods

Current total lvl. I love this game.
>same great game

>dying quickly

>consistent playerbase

pick one

It LITERALLY has objectively less content, stop lying

>cooking as your first 99

>97 fishing
>99 cooking
Makes sense famalam

It LITRALLY has more enjoyable content though.

It LITRALLY has less real money influence.

It LITRALLY is the best iteration of runescape to ever exist

Hey senpai. I was an "ironman" before they introduced them. Now I'm just "man."

>Drygores
3rd best, if you count Zaros GS as first and scythe as second, though scythe's 5x5 aoe makes it a teeny better for mass grindan since the difference between t90 and t92 isn't much

how do i enable the old interface in RS3?

nvm found it

>beginning of 7th grade
>no friends, just kept to myself
>some shithead kids were giving me grief one day and a group of 8th graders stuck up for me and took me under their wing for a short while until I got my own group of friends
>one of them had a bit of an accent, but he kept trying to get me to play "Moonscape"
>look it up when I got home
>all that came back was some Polish software site
>didn't know what the fuck he was talking about
I got my classes switched around after that so I never got to ask him to clarify what he meant. I feel like I missed out quite a bit.

Fish are unlimited though.
