    More expensive than WoW and FFXIV, and those games let you have a bunch of characters on the same sub. Amazing business move

            Yeah, it’s a real sore spot for the community too - people often have 2 or more accounts due to various account types like mains who have no restrictions, ironmen who can’t trade and gotta get everything themselves, group ironmen which is ironman but co-op in a 5 person group and other modes that add additional limitations.

    Holy moly I didn’t know you could still play old RuneScape. I think I found my account like 8 years ago after not playing for a decade and I was like “neat” and signed off. Lol

      It is popular and it has a huge amount of added content with raids, quests, areas and boss fights that are super hard.

        I lost all my Spirit when I grinded for the best sword, I forget what it was called, then my account was compromised :/. So many hackers back then.

      From the sounds of it, your account would be on the “original” Runescape 3, rather than the Old-school Runescape this post is about.

      Old-school Runescape is essentially a fork of a random backup they found of the game as it existed in 2007 that they released in 2013 after a lot of dissatisfaction about how Runescape had changed over that timespan.

      None of the accounts/characters from the original game were migrated.

    People still play the old version of Runescape? Wow I wasn’t aware of this.
