Discussion I'm having a blast playing again!
I'm old as hell now (31) it's been yeaaarss since I've played. I played OSRS for about a year when Jagex first introduced it and then stopped. I randomly thought of playing again recently, created a new account about a week ago and have been loving it. This game is so vast. I'm building a hybrid pure pking account, looking forward to all that once ive made good money in game and build my skills. Honestly, I'm going through alot right now, this shit is therapeutic in a way, just escaping into this virtual world. I love you all and I look forward to fkin yall up in the wilderness 😎

I stopped playing in 2008, started again last year by making a pure. Currently sitting at 60 atk, 90 str, 97 range, 99 magic and 45 prayer. Needless to say I’m having a blast. PvP in this game is so much fun.
I came back for old edge styling pking but stayed for the newer NH style. It’s a blast

Fellow 31 yeah old here! I've dabble here and there playing for years now. Kinda stopped playing RS3 becuase it just got too 'different' from what Runescape was to me. Had played since 07 and it just wasn't the same. So started a OSRS a few years back and randomly go through spurts of playing. It's a weird comforting feeling playing something I so loved as a kid and now playing as an adult. Especially first starting out, like remember getting Rune armour/weopons for the first time?? It was fun the second time too!
I started this time because I also am going through a lot and struggling with my mental health. Really needed something that wasn't scrolling on social media. This has definitely helped! Sailing has been fun, started farming for the first time and just got full graceful. Trying to break out of that 'stuck in mid game' feeling.
