What is Old School RuneScape?

To this day, it remains popular; it’s simply the older version of RuneScape. It was a fascinating tale: initially released in 2001 as a 2D MMORPG called Runescape, it underwent a major visual overhaul in 2004 that ushered it into three-dimensional mode. As such came about RuneScape Classic vis-à-vis what we now know as RuneScape 3.The game attracted countless thousand fans through features on top gaming sites and being accessible at places like school computer labs.


However, not all updates were well-received. This led to many people withdrawing from the game following controversial changes like Evolution of Combat in 2012 and microtransactions. In response to the community demand, Jagex resurrected the 2007 version of RuneScape which became OSRS. RuneScape 3 is still there but OSRS outnumbers it in player volume hence influencing content in both variants.


Why OSRS Still Matters in 2024

But that’s not all: it has a simple, nostalgic appeal that makes it one of my all-time favorite video games. The year 2023 brought about some huge updates that have breathed life back into the game. Some highlights include:

New Bosses and Items: A range training method called The Phantom Musa and a staple for bossing setups called The Venator Bow.

Wilderness Rework: Refreshed bosses and new weapons to revitalize the Wilderness.

Quest Speedrunning: This is a new way you can engage with quests and has prizes as well as cosmetics.

Bounty Hunter Update: PvP mode with unique items available only through competition.

Dead Man Apocalypse: PVP with awesome boss drops.

Forestry Update: It was an attempt to make Woodcutting better but not everyone bought into it.


Desert Treasure 2 was arguably the biggest update; here four new bosses were introduced along with game-changing items. There was also the release of Warp Scepter filling a gap in magic weapons during the year.


Looking Forward to 2024

Early 2024 will see Valmore unveiled inclusive of new quests, Hunter Guild, and Fortis Coliseum. Also on the horizon are mid-level boss teaching important mechanics as well as introducing Rat Bane weapons. This year is expected to feature what will be perhaps the most-awaited update yet – Sailing skill introduced into Runescape.


Why I Love Osrs

You can play games at your own pace on OSRS, which encourages friendships and camaraderie. It is a game that develops but does not change its basic simplicity and allure.

How to Choose Best Poe 3.9 Immortal Syndicate Items & Curreny

The Poe Immortal Syndicate can be a mysterious organization becoming investigated by Jun Orton. The player needs to neutralize the Syndicate members residing in the zone, then interrogate them for intelligence on their stronghold and leader, or bargain with them in different techniques. Syndicate members can drop Veiled items, and strongholds can include numerous rewards according to the position and rank of members, which provides for Scarabs. Basically, if a member is allied with a rank 0 person, that rank 0 person has a chance to either show up in an encounter with them or for that person to invite them to join their area when you execute them. IE Tora is friends with rank 0 Celeron, and Tora is in fortification. If fortification has spaces, then when you get to perform Tora, she will likely have Celeron join fortification too. As a note, if you have multiple people in an encounter, the last one left will never let you execute them and will instead change their option to betray

PoE 3.22 League Start Corrupting Fever Champion Build

Welcome to this guide for a unique build concept revolving around the new Corrupting Cry support gem in Path of Exile! While this isn't a traditional build guide, it's an exploration of a new build idea that utilizes Corrupting Cry to its fullest potential. Please note that this build is better suited for veteran players due to its complexity and the need for game knowledge to adapt and troubleshoot.
