They're loaded with branching dialogue, unique puzzles and endearingly janky cutscenes. RuneScape's quests aren't disposable tasks like the fetch quests you pick up from random NPCs in many MMOs-at least, most of them aren't. Instead, its world is fleshed out through quests which are structured like short stories. There's no defined campaign or main storyline in RuneScape. I was always looking forward to my next opportunity to be a smartass. For new players, it's also the best way to learn how RuneScape handles quests. To do this, I'd have to complete dozens of other quests and train multiple skills to decent levels, making it a great way to see a lot of the game in a short time. I went into Old School with a clear short-term goal in mind: complete Recipe for Disaster, RuneScape's most difficult and famous quest. That said, Old School could still stand to guide new players a bit better, because it's totally unlike other MMOs. So, the threadbare tutorial is more than enough for people who've played RuneScape before (like myself). Nearly 500,000 people said yes, and Old School RuneScape was born.
OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE WIKI UPDATE
But after a major update totally overhauled RuneScape and turned it into what is now colloquially known as RuneScape 3, Jagex ran a poll to see if players wanted independent servers where they could play RuneScape as it was back in the day. A decade ago, there was no Old School RuneScape. Part of the reason Old School RuneScape is so bad at explaining itself comes down to its heritage. But if you're willing to push through the harsh learning curve, and if you find RuneScape's freewheeling sense of adventure liberating rather than overwhelming, you may well find your forever game. It's the kind of game where you have to bookmark the wiki before you can get anywhere. You go through a five-minute tutorial which teaches you the absolute bare minimum and then you're unceremoniously dropped into the hometown of Lumbridge. It's a sandbox MMORPG that's deliberately grindy and intimidatingly hands-off. That last bit is where Old School RuneScape starts. Most MMOs lead you on a campaign that introduces the most important characters, areas and activities, and only then do they take the leash off and tell you to do whatever you want.
