    people say that the only people who like this game are people who played in '07 but that is wrong. i started playing in late 2018 and i play all the time!

    This is an almost time-less to sit back and waste away your time on. This is how runescape has always been and you know what you are getting into. The competitive nature is all revolved around no-lifing and I believe it's not as big as it used to be, which is awesome. Iron-man is the best game mode to earn the excitement of achieving things in.

    I hadnt played Runescape in over 6 months but since the release of Mobile it has gotten me back into both Mobile and PC (Which are Crossplay). This is one of the few mobile games which dont offer a disadvantage against PC players. Amazing port, getting the full experience on the go. Would love to see future Nintendo Switch or PS4 ports in the future though.

    A cool museum piece, but far too tedious and clunky.

    A fun reminder of how RuneScape used to be back when I first played; It's amazing to see just how much has changed (and wonder how we lived with the potato graphics). If you're new to RuneScape then definitely go with RS3, you'll have a much more enjoyable time. If you yearn to go back to how things used to be (or really enjoy tedium    A cool museum piece, but far too tedious and clunky.

    I bought membership on may 6th 2020 after enjoying playing the game. The next day I got hacked because I apparently did not have a secure enough password. On may 9th I got perm banned because I got hacked. Do not play this game you will lose your money and time. Customer service is appalling

    Why even make a game if you don't give two damns about the players, we are the consumer you don't even have a real support team. Jagex that's very inappropriate what you did to me.

    Very fun game, but a LOT is locked behind a paywall, which just gets rid of the fun.

    You just go and play until you have to pay.

    You wouldn’t know to look at it though, its graphics looking hilariously ropey by today’s standards, but playing it reveals a game that is still in a class of its own. Without a central story or campaign to anchor you, once you’ve completed the grossly insufficient tutorial you’re left to do practically anything you like in a world that contains well over a decade’s worth of gameplay for newcomers.

    Despite some battery and bug issues, Old School Runescape's port makes it clear that the classic game belongs on mobile devices.

    One of the best MMOs comes to mobile with most of its charm and playability intact.
