How far years back on updates is old school RuneScape ? I am no fan of RuneScape 3 since the release of evolution of combat . I despise jagex for transferring my account to RuneScape 3. I remember jagex originally giving an option if you wanted to try RuneScape 3 or stay on RuneScape 2. I stayed on RuneScape 2. But.... Jagex transferred my account to RuneScape 3 anyways...

I don't remember you having an option to stay in rs2, there was a legacy mode however.

Old school RuneScape is based off a 2007 version of the game pre eoc of course. This being said they still do add new things to the game.

Yeah , I vaguely recall having A choice when EOC was first being tested and implemented .

Are the new skills in osrs ?

Are there new weapons , armor & other items or only the original up to god wars ?

What skills aren't in osrs ?

Is the exp the same or boosted ?

I thought about giving osrs A try . I don't see myself having enough time to grind for 20 hours in A day & night like I did before adult hood .

No new skills, XP is the same as it was, no double XP events.

They added raids and a few other bosses so yes there is new weapons and armor

Sounds Very different compared to what I'm familiar with . I dislike how jagex force transferred our RuneScape 1/2 accounts to RuneScape 3. We shouldn't have to waste 1000+ hours leveling from scratch again 😠 is dueling & Wilderness active and alive again ?

Thanks for the info LoveBear. I have decided starting A new account on OSRS isn't worth the reward to me .

you've said 5x they transfered your account, that's not how it works. on osrs everyone had to start from scratch. your skills on rs3 are all 0 on osrs.. you can play both games but each to their own stats/items on one account
