HOWEVER, now I have fun playing. If I enjoy a boss I will kill it, even when gain is garbage. If I like a costly skill (I love herblore) I can do it, and it doesn't even matter when I play economically. Wealth on Lost Ark Gold Buy RS is similar to prosperity irl. Is time. You no longer need to manager your own time so that you can afford to purchase or do particular things, you get to spend time doing things you enjoy, regardless of the price, and that is really quite pleasurable.

Existential crisis time, merching makes an absurd quantity of money and I'm not interested in rares so that actually lowers the bar for running out of things to get. Not there yet but probably will not take long. Guess I will go comp and perform logs just like everyone else is doing. I feel you. I'm finally going to max and then comp because I've just purchased everything I care about and having rares for no other reason than to make MORE money that I do nothing with almost murdered Runescape for me personally.

Returning to runescape. How great is it? Which are the key differences?

I have not played in a very long time. I stopped right after the expansive exchange was inserted. I lost interest and burnt out on it. I have a few questions. Back when I played, you didn't really require a membership until around level 45 (I think), is this still true? Can this wilderness? If you stop when ge was published, this match is most likely going to feel like a completely different game to you.

There are tons of new quests, player abilities, new areas to explore and new pvming supervisors. Btw yes RS3 is much more of a pvm game than pvp. Since no one wants to hazard items that took them 15 hours to get from a boss so regrettably pvp in this game is dead. If pvp articles or nostalgia is I would recommend OSRS. If however, you're open to the new changes in this game or if u fancy lore, updated/modernized gameplay vs the notorious old runescape ability beats then RS3 is Runescape for you to stay.

If you like the PVP and the sense of the 2007 style Runescape system, I'd say go with OSRS. If PVM and quests are important for you and you enjoy the EOC system, I would say RS3 may be the better option for you. You can swap into the heritage program in RS3. I swap when I get bored of play and RS3 OSRS and then when that gets boring, I keep playing RS3. People who argue to be superior are delusional. They simply waste time arguing, but in the close of the day, everyone always will have their own preferences and opinions. Don't get sucked into it and play any version of Runescape, so that you can decide for your self, which variant you prefer.

The upsidedown, is RS3 has much more going for it as far as endgame goes, and the road getting there is much smoother compared to old school rs. Microtransactions have entered Runescape in this manner that trivializes training annoying skills, as you can just essentially purchase your way. If microtransactions get your platelegs / skirt in a spin, you could always play Ironman mode where there's no option for purchasing your way into a 99, but you also can't exchange players. Overall the reason I do not play with school, is because I have sunk almost 10,000 hours in this match already. I really don't feel like doing this again just for the nostalgia.
