    Between 2004 and 2009, I poured 5000 hours into runescape. Between 2018 and 2022, I poured another 2000 into Old School Runescape. It is not an objectively good game. The gameplay is typically very mindless, and even the more engaging gameplay elements are very clunky. Despite this, I can see myself putting hundreds if not thousands of more hours into OSRS in the future.

Despite this, I can see myself putting hundreds if not thousands of more hours into OSRS in the future.
    I will keep coming back to this game for 3 primary reasons.
    1. Nostalgia
    2. The feeling of slowly accomplishing short and long term goals that feel meaningful in terms of
    account unlocks.
    3. I love consuming other content while playing games, and Runescape's mindless nature
    makes it perfect for this type of play.

    If you did not play as a child, or you don't like to focus on other content while gaming, this game is very likely not for you. If you did play as a kid, and managed to get away, I would recommend not coming back. The game is addicting and undoubtedly bad....nostalgia is quite the drug.    … Expand

    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.

    Old School RuneScape is a massive but compelling time sink, and even after all these years, there's simply nothing else like it.
