I’ve been a fool. For the past couple of decades, I’ve put off trying out the massively popular online role-playing game (RPG) RuneScape. Even as a kid back in the early 2000s, I was always under the impression that its limited visuals and obtuse game systems would have me bouncing off in minutes, despite most of my friends being hooked on it.
Those same friends from my school days are still playing the game to this day, via developer Jagex’s Old School RuneScape (OSRS) release that preserves the game as it was back then, still with a steady stream of substantial content updates. Now, after a recent Dungeons & Dragons session where the conversation landed on the game, I finally caved and downloaded Old School RuneScape on my PC. And I couldn’t have been more wrong about it.
