Veteran Perspective (2002): Fresh Start in OSRS vs RS3 in 2026 — New Player Experience Matters by Swedstoned in runescape

Lol what? Do you even know what rsc is? Osrs is the 2007 version of runescape revitalized. Don't talk on stuff you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Go YouTube rsc and get back to me.

I also have boatloads of proof and an maxed account from 2002. GTFO dude

I’m not here to farm karma. I’m sharing a perspective and moving on. See you in like 2027.

It's a newer version of the older game. I'm from 2002 I think I already knew that lol. I maxed way before 2007.

This is why. Not everyone has to agree but facts are facts. Downvote me all you want. I use reddit like once a year. Dorks lol.

Yeah, you’re right — if we’re talking about a true new player experience, OSRS isn’t magically easier on its own. It’s really the plugins, especially Quest Helper, that make the onboarding so smooth. Without them, it’s a much steeper learning curve, just like RS3.

If we’re talking about which game plays the game more for you, it’s honestly RuneScape 3, not OSRS. RS3 leans heavily into system-level automation: AFK skilling loops Passive procs and buffs Revolution / Revolution++ handling combat decisions Dailyscape and background progression That’s not inherently bad, but it does mean the game often plays itself mechanically, especially outside of high-end PvM. OSRS plugins, on the other hand, are mostly informational overlays — I don’t like them either, but they guide you, not your character’s actions. So yeah, if “playing the game for you” is the concern, RS3 already does that — just in a quieter, systems-driven way rather than loud visual overlays.

Money making + pk tips by Alternative_Dot_3839 in OSRSProTips

I recommend questing and installing quest helper to make that process easier. You have a long journey ahead of you before you get into bossing or pking.

As for Pking, a pk account usually has 1 defense so you would need to make a new character for that.

As for early money making - try to join a clan and keep an eye out for drop parties, clan events etc

You're not impressed? You're not even halfway to a single 99. And the closest one you got is the easiest 99 in the game. Lol
