The freedom to OSRS gold roam is a huge appeal , and despite being an established game, its story is fairly simple to follow regardless of which game you play. Many of the in-game Quests are mini-stories that are set in the world , and don't tie into any major overarching lore anyway.

The introduction of real-money transactions by buying treasure keys caused a huge uproar, however, there was nothing that isn't been seen before in FIFA points.

They are not as aggressive as they were in the past. This can be attributed to a company that has a solid understanding of its fan base, while knowing what must be done in order to stay alive. An ideal balance was the result.

If you're looking to get back to RuneScape that is intimidated by the style and feel of the new 'RuneScape 3', you have two options to make things play and look more familiar. If you want all the new content and graphics and content updates, you can change to Legacy Mode which takes away the more advanced MMORPG features and lets you play with a basic point and click system.

Alternately, you can play Old School RuneScape which is the original version of the game. It is safeguarded and maintained by regular updates but will only never appear, feel or play exactly like the original. One disadvantage to this is that you'll need to be a member of a paid service in order to have access to the entire world of games available. Only a handful of games are available to free members.
