Unironically what's the appeal of this game?
>>
Infinite grinding so you feel like you're always making progress. The quests are really unique when it comes to MMOs too, and a lot of them are quite good. Not good enough to make up for being menial task simulator for me, though.
>>
>>730648064
game that isnt quite engaging enough to play on its own so you have it on one monitor while you put a youtube video that isnt good enough to justify watching it on its own on the second monitor
>>
you had to be there
>>
>>730648064
Infinite grinding games are for soulless autistic subhumans.
>>
Skills go up. You get credit for your hard work like you never do in real life. It's maybe the most accessible MMO.

Parallel content and player agency.

Don't bother when /v/scape exists, actual golden era with all the quests and stuff but nothing stupid changed

isnt that the version that is ran by someone that banned people for opening/closing doors?
>>
>>730649271
Your thinking of 04scape, this is 2007 & ran by oldfags not fagfags.
There was a player called Security whos gimmick was following people and shutting doors on them all day.

It's a chat room with some casual activity attached to it.

>>730648195
It's funny how people make fun of gacha games but these line go up infinite progression sims were the original dopamine sink. I hear you can even grind while fucking afk so they are two birds of a feather in my eyes.
>>
>>730648064
False sense of accomplishment.
>>
Fishing lvls?

Apparently there are a lot of people who want to play an MMO where you don't actually need other people at all

>Arguments interrupted by wizards and trolls appearing to offer wishes or pick fights while everyone cheered the NPC on so we could steal the dead player's loot
It was shit, but I remember it fondly.

Long progression chains that can be tackled in various way.
Rewarding endgame challenges.
Completionism for autists.

Since 2024.
What causes this?
>>
>>730648064
you can't make real progress on this real gay earth, so you click fishing spots and make progress in digital world
>>
I never played RS seriously, but I remember the few times I did play it, all I really did were things like fishing, chopping trees, mining blacksmithing etc. It was oddly comforting and satisfying to do
Are there any other games that has that same feel?
>>
>>730648064
It was an interactive social media platform that also doubled as a video game. Kids loved it because it was literally MSN or Skype but set in a virtual fantasy world.
Ease of access was also the big reason. You could run it in any web browser without having to install it and it was free to play. The only other big RPG games that were like this were what, Adventure Quest Worlds and Sherwood Dungeon?
The only other non-shit MMORPG at the time was WoW. RS had much better quests and much more charming and memorable music.

Any "comfy" harvesting game made for women fits that criteria.
But you can always replay Runescape itself by just playing 2009scape or 2006scape which can also be played fully offline if you're only looking for singleplayer.

RS Classic was dogshit. RuneScape only became relevant starting with the RS2 era in 2004-2006.
