What clients do both of them use? do they use an official client from runescape company? and if it's thru web browser or desktop client?
for both RS 3 and RSOS?
thanks guys




also wondering if you can make decent gold in RS OS or RS3 with things like woodcutting, fishing, mining, smithing etc



also could you tell me the pros/cons of both RS3 and OSRS, not sure which i wanna try, ty guys!

They both have a client, osrs has extra clients but don't think we can talk about the here.

Just look at a few threads of osrs to see what client people use just be careful when you download.

RS3: Official client, and there's an Alt1 overlay I believe.
I only use the official client. I think there's a client through steam as well but unsure.

OSRS: Most people either use the official client or Runelite.

Money Making: You "make more" money in RS3 but the currency is devalued. PvM options in RS3 can range from 1-100m depending on your skillset.
OSRS caps out at about 5m/h through killing the nightmare.

You can see that 1m in RS3 will cost like 10fg, however 1m in OSRS will cost 40fg.

Pro's and cons:
RS3 Pro's:
Stronger story line, more developed quest lines
Better PvM/PvE
Interface customization
Larger endgame
Less "grinding" meaning you can level faster and progress easier. Spending less time.
"Better" graphics (I mean more updated)
Combat mechanics are better. You have more control over your character and can "combo" abilities together.
More overall content.

RS3 Cons:
PvP is pretty much dead. Like maybe 100 people do it outside of one specific event per day.
Micro transactions. Some people view it as giving an unfair advantage.
Lots of dead content once you pass a certain level
Compared to some other MMO's, combat isn't the greatest. Still reliant on the tick/tile system.
Cosmetics/overrides can sometimes be overwhelming and ruin the immersion into the game.

OSRS Pro's:
Better PvP
No micro transactions
Longer grind, can provide sense of accomplishment
Nostalgia to those who played before things changed
Updates are reliant on a community vote so you have a say
Mid game and early game content stays relevant

OSRS Cons:
PvM is stale except for a few exceptions. PvM is centered around clicking the enemy and waiting for it to die.
Dated graphics
Lacking end-game due to the grind it takes to get there
Personally, the community seems relatively toxic, but that's a personal anecdote.

Thanks so much guys!! Another thing i forgot to ask, is membership required for both of these to progress/have fun?
I remember i played OSRS years ago and membership was definitley necessary if you wanted to do anything

Wondering if it's still the same, and if it's that way for RS3 too? Thanks

I couldn't play f2p lol

And I play both

Runescape without membership is like eating a burger without the meat and toppings and the bun has already been 3/4 eaten by someone else

lmao ok
