If only we could all experience RuneScape for the first time again! It’s great to have content like this, but I also remember playing RS with almost nothing to help me through. It was absolutely infinite 15 years ago because we operated from a lack of knowledge which made it all seem so vast.
I’d never have got into runescape if it was like this when I started as a kid. I only play now because I’ve already invested so much time and money via membership. Honestly runescape is getting worse and worse and I won’t be happy until there’s a stand-alone RS3 legacy that was rolled back prior to abilities.
@@Disregarding Yea been in the same situation. I quit a year ago after 20 years of playing the game. Trust me its a relive to let go of the worst investment of your life. And dont forget greedy corp mtx stuff made the game bad. Not the players.
@@jensv874 I don’t mind MTX never have treasure hunter keeps the game funded. What i absolutely hate is the gaudy ass cosmetics, at least give me a way to turn all that off. Shit annoyinh go look at I have to go to lowest pop world so I barley see it. All the flash ass outfits and bull shit wins and constantly moving character auras. Makes me want to vomit.
@@DisregardingTH ceeps the game funded? Or it made a lot of people quit the game? Ive seen that argument a lot over the years but i never agree with it. At the end of the day when most people quit the game MTX wont save the game. RS3 player base has been on its lowest for like 6 months now. What happened before that? Hero pass and oter MTX push. Looking at osrs who has 5x the playerbase and by that 5x the income of subscription its hard for me to accept that MTX is holding RS3 alive. It jsut feels realy bad when your out of bank space and your only option is to use MTX to get extra banksace. Like whats the point of paying mothly if you need to pay for critical game stuff. That combined with the heropass is what made me quit the game. Its always going to be a little difent for players why exactly they want to quit the fame. Bot most comes to MTX. Like cosmetics most are MTX. And you hate it.
@@Disregarding Yea see like most its always related to some form of MTX. A lot of those cosmetics you complain about are MTX. Want more bank space? MTX. Actionbars used to be behind MTX too. They changed that, nice win. Followed up by more MTX. So much devolpent time and money is put in MTX. And the last realy good content tthat made the player base spike is Archeology. Look at how bad Necromancy is made. The best way to level it is skilling... Combat skill BTW. Like its such a big mess. Hero pass and lack of bankspace that is locked behind MTX is what made me quit the game. For you it would be MTX cosmetics. It differs from player to player. But mostly it comes down to some form of MTX. If only they put as much efford in game content develpment as in MTX devolpment. Meanwile OSRS thriving and earnign big money from subcription with there 5x bigger playerbase then RS3. Push MTX on that game too and will eearn a lot less as most eole will quit the game instantly or after a litle time. And they know that at jagex. Else osrs would ahve been bombarded with MTX just like RS3. MTX is not whats cept rs3 alive. Its the reason why our playerbase is so small. Ive seen that statement a lot over the years. It just dusnt make sense. TH is far from the only MTX mechanic in the game.
I was so happy that my buddy (real life) helped me transition from OSRS to RS3. Much more AFK Easier ways to make money (1M OSRS = 2-5M in RS3) Better graphics and design (fighting isn't stick-man-ish) More Skills (awwyeahh) But these videos are great man!
I would like it more than osrs if they removed mtx, especially all of the pets and wings that belong in roblox and not Runescape. Fixed player models (eyes/face/every piece of armour clipping/png icons for 120 capes have been broken for 2 years)
18:07 The feeling of hitting a dummy in dual wield without using any abilities is so satisfying that they need to improve it. It’s like I’ve gone back to the time just one year before the EoC system was introduced
I've been playing this game for 19 years. My RNG is shit, so shit it makes me burnout a lot, so I take months long to years long breaks. I think it might be better just to sell everything in my back and start over to make things more interesting
I've just finished my first year and whilst it felt overwhelming at first it "clicks" pretty quickly. One thing I'm surprised they haven't done is add regular "new servers" where people can only use one character that has to be newly created and is locked there. This would give new (and old) players the chance to see the game grow, perhaps it wouldn't even be connected to the global version of the GE, just a local one. If for no other reason, I'd love to see how people chose to start from fresh in 2024 and how the economy develops from a standing start. The things us newbs missed out on.
every couple years i like to give RS3 a try, but even as an OSRS player its too different for a lot of the concepts OSRS teaches us to really transfer over to make the game any easier to pick up. the amount of feature creep is overwhelming, I have no idea what gear is actual gear or just cosmetics, I cant even tell if im doing a good amount of damage or even tell exactly what tile im standing on, and I have no idea what content is worth doing & what content is essentially shovelware left in the game.
Dude, it's not that deep. Rs3 is literally OSRS with updates graphics and abilities. You can change the interface to legacy if you do not like the confusing interface which gives you the standard 2010 look of the game. And you can even put revolution on + automatic ability setup and you can literally afk everything untik you start to get to late game PvM. Furthermore, gear progression is literally just a few searches away. Type in 'best armour and weapons (for said style) and you will literally find everything from worst to best. This goes for literally every skill. Y'all need to stop complaining about every little thing that is not convenient to you. When I switches from OSRS to Rs3 it literally took me only a week of playing to understand everything. If you do not want to put the effort in to play the game properly, do not complain about how confusing the game is. Because it is quiet literally not unless you are a Giganerd going for 200m xp or 120 all then it becomes a bit more complex if you want to play more efficiently, but even then it is just a few extra things you can do to optimize experience versus time played. It really is not rocket science mate.
New player here, I was told the grand exchange was a quick way to buy items from other players. I'm coming from other games that show the seller and makes it obvious if someone if merching or trying to crash an item. Where can I see the individuals selling the items at different prices to pick from and if I make an item can I see my "mark" on it to show I made it?
I don't believe there's a way of doing, and honestly I don't see why would you want to. You simply put an offer and hope it sells/buys. You can visit the GE site tho, it'll show you the fluctuations in price for a specific item
Hi @grundlefairy, I'd like to take a few minutes to answer your questions. To start, the Grand Exchange (commonly referred to as the GE) is the best place to buy and sell items in the entirety of the game. Back before the GE was in the game, players interacted similar to how you are alluding to where they directly traded items/bartered with each other for everything the game had to offer. This is still done to this day, but in special circumstances normally reserved for rare items. The GE can be found north of Varrock, a hub city so to speak. When you click on a grand exchange clerk, an interface opens up with buy and sell options. When you buy something, the game (through a automatically adjusting price system) assigns the item a market value. You can choose to submit a purchase for an item at market value and may receive it, or you can choose to subtract money from your offer or add it instead. Somewhere in the game, someone has to be selling that item in their grand exchange "sell" boxes in order for you to purchase it. Most items, I'd say 95% or higher, will purchase at their market price in the GE. When you are selling something, it's advisable to sell at market price if not slightly lower if you need cash quicker. You can choose to sell higher than market price, but run the chance of never selling your item or the market price decreasing, making your item even more over priced. As a seller, the GE also taxes you on all sales. This is a primary reason that older, rarer, more expensive items are hand traded. Players avoid the tax! To your last question, it's unfortunately impossible to put your "mark" on an item. When you've sold it, it could have gone to anyone anywhere, and you are likely to never see your item again, not that you'd know, since every item of a certain type looks identical. One way around this is Ironman Mode, where you do everything yourself and cannot trade other players... But that is for more experienced players and I would not recommend it to someone new. However, if you are interested, I have been playing RS for 22+ years and currently play on an Ironman. My username is "Hide", feel free to PM me any and all questions. I'd love to help. Happy Scaping!
@@gotickofficial A lot of issues with games are people who merch and inflate prices and move the market the way they want for their own gain regardless of the consensus of the rest of the players. Does runescape have a cheap economy is that why you aren't worried about it?
This game is not worth playing in 2024 and in the future. It's also loaded with MTX. Bonds and memberships are overpriced with real money. I've been trying to get myself to quit.
You forgot to include that this company will make empty promises, backtrack on pretty much everything, nerf things 2 years after release and lie to you in broad daylight.
@@jensv874 I disagree as I simply chose to ignore MTX and.. fomo is self induced. I don't personally mind if I miss out on something because I don't live on the game.
