>there are anons who spend thousands of hours on this
I remember in elementary school the other boys were playing and talking about Runescape, which I hadn't heard of, and I tried to ask what the combat was like, but I didn't have the gamer lingo to articulate things like "turn based" or "auto attack". But they assure me it's good so I'm excited to go home and try it and it's just that and I'm like man this sucks
>>739549529I'm one of them, and I regret it wholeheartedly. osrs sucks massive donkey dick and its playerbase is the most annoying breed of autistic nerd imaginable
>that one nu-quest where the evil wh*te varrock museum curator steals artefacts from the Black varlamorians and you have to get it back by playing a shaming minigame where you call him a nazi racist incel white chudFuck fagex
>>739549529Yeah, it's great.
>>739549529
>>739549529what's so sad these days; even having the best goddamn hypergyga stuff doesn't make you any coolerif anything, it's a mere formality, not a feat.>>739549638It's a miracle they stretched this long and somehow made skill expression appear out of thin airHuman ingenuity knows no bounds. But sadly it's being wasted on a miniclip flash game
>>739549727yeah "old school" runescape is woke trash, unlike the real originalbtw here is a pic of Tribal Totem, a quest released 2002
>>739549880the varrock museum curator was an established character you interacted with throughout quests. Shit you literally work of the varrock museum. Not comparable at all to some literal who one off fag from ardougne.
>>739549972and he is semi-vindicated in that he actually got it by stopping the real thief with his martial prowess from working with the varrock guard
>>739549638I was still in that phase where i was amazed by the fact the internet could connect us together from all over the world, so i liked it. We were all Free to Play with 50 combat stats tops, then there was some tryhard members kid with 80 strength.I remember one girl who liked me gave me her name to add as friend, I guessed her password in about 5 minutes and she had bare the bare minimum like iron dagger and 700 gold. I took it anyway then bragged to a friend who in turn told the girl she never spoke to me again
>>739549529What do you mean you don't want to play 3000 hours of Castle Wars for a goofy looking prestigious set ???
What I remember from Runescape back in my school days>A kid that use one computer to have his character keep crafting and logging automatically to level up his stats while he was with a kid on another computer playing a game that was fun>Me playing it at some point and falling for someone telling em to follow him for gear only for it to be an area where he can kill me and steal my shitBoth those things happened over 20 years ago, at least.
i would sit at the starting area baiting new players to join my expeditions to the north to get dragon swords and pk them
>>739549529it ain't about the gameplay, it was about the social experience combined with the second life where you could explore a world while making long term meaningful changes to your character.
>>739550303I remember paying some kid 20 bucks for his account he had like 2,000 coal and level 73 mining it was more ore than i'd ever seen my entire life i thought i hit the jackpot
>>739550767>where you could explore a world while making long term meaningful changes to your character.Isnt that gameplay
>>739551093in this context, "gameplay" would refer to the combat system
>>739549869the entire difficulty in this game comes from the dogshit UI and the developer forcing the player to click shit the screen. it's artificial difficulty.if you could just bind stuff to any key you want it would be extremely easy
I never understood the popularity of runescape when mmo was an abundance at the time.

>>739552863FreeMiniclipRuns on a web pageManchildren can't escape it
>>739552863Free and it could run in a browser on any random shitbox. So it was a bit like fortnite is for kids today, for us, when we were in elementary school. Everyone was playing it so you played it to hang out with your friends after school. When I was older with access to better computers, I ended up playing stuff like WoW private servers, Flyff, and Rappelz with my late uncle.
>>739552863they were not in abundance at the time there was everquest and that's it.
>>739549529I really wanna get into osrs, but I don't know where to start. Should I play ironman?
>>739551216There is no fucking way most people find this fun
>>739554015who said this game was about having blast?is the blast in the room with us?
>>739549529I dont know how people play games anymore. I see a game and imagine myself playing it and it sucks. You just walk and press buttons and watch cutscenes, that's 99% of games today. Any game out today has a better game on the PS2.
>>739554015they don't, theyre just addicted to number go up
>>739554309I disagree. Some recent games are still good and certain old games aren't as good as people say they are. It's all about preference.
>>739551216This is aids and the designers should an hero
>>739549529>pettan pettan tsurupettan
>>739549529dunno what this is but i knew some nerd who came with me to the rec center in iraq and he wanted me to try out, i forget what it was called, might and magic 5 or something? and it was the most tedious thing i ever experienced with turns that take forever to go throughand i was like, i don't want to spend my one hour in the rec center taking 15-30 minutes per turn on some game like thishe did not just want to play cod4 because he's one of them nerds who like tabletop shit i guess
>>739551216>your reward is: 9 onyx bolts
