there has not been an oldschool runescape since before g.e. dont lie to yourself.
The days of spamming for trades in Fally garden or Var West Bank was... something else.
OSRS launched w/o GE, and people realized how much the GE improved quality of life for your average player who isn't spamming chat and flipping all day long.
I am glad that I can go to the GE and buy random quest items and whatever other random crap I need though.
RS was never OSRS. It was always just RS. That's why your account exists on RS. You just missed the updates.
OSRS is a copy of an old RS file with no previous user data, and modified based on what players voted in.
If you feel too unfamiliar in the current RS, then you'll probably also feel unfamiliar in the current OSRS once you're past the noob levels.
You're likely unfamiliar in the current RS because most new content is favored for high end play as opposed to low end, and your account is already high end in terms of levels.
Apart from the updated graphics, the general layout of the old content is essentially the same.
