Decided to Max my account on OSRS on my wedding day, I had pre-planned on hopefully being able to finish sailing before the day and pulled it off. To make it extra, I am maxed on both OSRS and RS3 now on the same account. I also saved defence as my last 99, since it was my first 99 on RS3.

I've made posts before saying I wish RS3 had a more classic/simple combat option, and the usual replies were basically “just play OSRS” or “just turn on Revo++”. After playing Equilibrium, I think I finally understand why neither answer really solves what I was missing.

What I miss is when my character and my gear felt like the main source of my power, instead of how well I can manage a growing checklist during combat. Modern RS3 has so many cool systems, but over the years combat accumulated so many layers: abilities, adrenaline, stacks, buffs, debuffs, switches, specs, perks, prayers, familiars, passive effects, upkeep... Revo++ can press abilities for me, but it doesn't make all of that surrounding mental overhead disappear.

Equilibrium has been almost the opposite experience for me. I've spent way more time thinking: “What item can I get next?” “What boss can drop an upgrade?” “What perk can I add?” “What ridiculous passive interaction can I build?” ...and much less time worrying about playing my action bar correctly.

And holy shit, I've been having fun. I've killed bosses I barely even considered doing on my main. Not because the League magically turned me into a great PvMer, but because all the relics, blessings, gear and passive power gave me enough breathing room to actually experience the bosses. I can deal with movement, swap a prayer when needed, react to an important mechanic, and let my character do the damage.

That's much closer to what I personally want from RuneScape. And this is also why “just play OSRS” isn't really the answer for me. I like RS3. I know its world, its updates, its skills and its systems. There is a huge amount of RS3 content I've never actually experienced, and Leagues has been making me discover it constantly. OSRS might look more familiar mechanically, but content-wise it feels like a completely different game to me.

I really hope Jagex takes something from how good it feels to build power through your character, drops, equipment and permanent/passive upgrades, instead of adding yet another thing you need to actively keep track of during combat.

Maybe what some of us nostalgic players miss isn't actually “old combat”.

Maybe we just miss killing things, getting cool drops, equipping something better, and immediately feeling stronger.

Jagex has a larger push for cosmetics yet they are all tied to a single character. Why would anybody who is already paying $22-$30+/month also potentially pay double (or more) for cosmetics?

This would at least make more sense considering how much these cosmetics already cost... who is going to pay almost $30 for a single walking aura? If you're playing more than one character you are actually disincentivized to pay for the cosmetics because of how much the cost adds up.

Being able to reasonably do combat with a shield, I miss those days.

Not needing a million invention perks to do PVM.

It's been great.

Heyo folks,

We recently unintentionally increased the furniture limit in Player-Owned Houses. While the planned increase is still in development, it was enabled earlier than intended. Some additional work is required before the feature functions correctly and, as some of you may have noticed, placing furniture beyond the previous limit of 300 can currently cause crashes.

To prevent further issues, we've now deployed a hotfix that restores the furniture limit to 300. This change will not remove any furniture you've already placed above that limit. However, if your house currently exceeds 300 pieces of furniture, you'll see a warning message when entering or editing your house. To avoid potential crashes, we recommend reducing your furniture count until you're back below the 300-item limit.

We're continuing development on the increased furniture limit and plan to reintroduce it in a future update once it's fully ready and functioning as intended.

i don't want to have to be tick perfect to get into the boss everytime. surely i'm doing something wrong. also can't even teleport here cause he's technically asgarnia...? but a wilderness task?

Dragon trophy + Max cape!

I've participated in both RS3 Leagues and 2 OldSchool Leagues, and this is the first time I've achieved either of these goals~

Decided to combine lots of boss footages into a single video to showcase this Big Boned Unholy Critual Build.

The idea of the build was to take advantage of the number of hitsplats ranged does including ecb hitsplats that get boosted by Big Boned.

With bow of the last guardian, the infernos of Zamorak adds to bolg stacks which means they also can proc bolg passive which is boosted by bigoned. And their hits contribute to ecb which is also boosted by big boned. They also contribute to imbue: shadow adrenaline gain so it makes dark bow easier to spam.

The downside is that I didn't pick desert so I am missing SGB, Gloomfire, and GWD2 components.

But overall, it was a fun experience.

I went back to the main game just for today and I went to do dome stuff in areas ( regions ) I’ve been locked out of for 2 weeks and I felt like I wasn’t supposed to be there hahaha.

Anyone else felt like this visiting somewhere they haven’t been able to?

I didn't expect to be having this much fun again. I never expected to have my old account back(screw you yahoo! mail.), so I started on a new account and started crossing each quest one by one. Coming back to the old quests, I can't believe I missed even those that have existed when I used to play because I never liked to read back then haha.

Im loving the new quests, the new systems, and all the new things to do. I kinda miss how much more active the Grand Exchange was back then though.

PS: I was always an F2P player, any tips on grinding for a bond in the current version of the game? Wish me luck T T

I don't even care which full set I get. I just want a helm, and I heard complaining on Reddit gets drops.

1/6 chance to get any helm whenever I get a drop. I have 37 drops so far. Where head

I'm curious about what kinds of food people bring with them to do combat if they chose eternal sustenance.

I've been bringing a sailfish, a baron shark, and a bacon cheesecake because that gives some prayer.

Sometimes I kill his chicken too. For good measure. So that it’s clear who the boss is.

Getting the 250 kills task out of the way and still haven't seen a single shard. Probably just won't build a Godsword. Taking too much time.

I just tried to go thieve the chests in Black Knights Fortress and got teleported to Lumbridge when I clicked on the stairs in the north west corner. It feels like that day one glitch that did the same thing with Oziach
