MMO streamer says he turned down a $5,000 WoW deal to keep grinding Old School RuneScape, player declares "RuneScape won the MMO war" but a dev quickly counters: "You can love both games"

Old School RuneScape.

As World of Warcraft players and communities continue their vacations in Old School RuneScape with increasing voracity, the great summer MMO migration has turned up genuine moments of good-natured rivalry and mutual appreciation. New comments from the folks involved and the developers watching from the sidelines demonstrate just how deep the grindset goes, with OSRS progress beating a sizable chunk of money on the hierarchy of needs.

The OSRS community latched onto a recent comment from one of the migration's foremost converts: Twitch streamer Savix, who's now on day 15 of his OSRS Ironman journey. In a hot post on the OSRS Reddit community, which declares "It is official now: RuneScape won the MMO war," Savix says (in a Twitch clip) that he and other likeminded WoW streamers have not been sponsored to play OSRS. They're in it purely for the love of the game. (The title of the Twitch clip, "WE GOT HIM," seems more apt.)
