the way they kept trying to replace tutorial island, only to end up back at tutorial island is reminiscent of that goblin mail quest where the goblins have you dye their mail different colours only to settle on the default brown

It's funny how regular rune scape players largely dislike the quests and new people who try rune scape for the first time are like "damn these quests are so detailed and the dialogue is amazing!"

I read every single dialogue box of every quest in OSRS on my main. Some of the quests are boring but I think most are pretty good. It is nothing too serious most of the time, but the lighthearted and humoristic way they tell the stories and introduce you to the lore is very entertaining and I think questing is one of the best parts of the game alongside bossing/raiding.

I played RS3 for a while because I wanted to continue the same character I'd been playing for years, but I'm starting to get back into OSRS and despite all the new content and changes made to it, it really does feel a lot more like the RuneScape I originally fell in love with.

Wow, after 19 years of being a runescape player I can finally decide which game I actually want to play! It was a hard choice, but I think I'm going to play RuneScape Classic.

the description of the player just being a nuisance in osrs is perfect, and when it got to the quest helper plugin it was gold

I read the quest dialogue in osrs simply for the humor 😂. Idk why, but I find the random jokes funny. My favorite being the navigator in bone voyage telling what happened to the previous ships. "The ninth version was built with magic logs. The barge gained some form of rudimentary sentience. It developed serious depression and ran itself aground near Crandor."

I actually learned last month that Guild Wars 1 not only still is playable through Arena net, they also sorta "upscaled" the game to work with current gen graphic cards, added 4k resolution and greatly increased the render distance. So I decided to give it a shot. Miraculously, my Arena net account that I made back in 2006 was still there. I got a new password and bought the "all of the dlc content" bundle box for like 20 dollars or something. I briefly scimmed through a new player (speedrunner) guide on the best class and story to get OP as quickly as possible and away I went. Its pretty fun, but Guild Wars isn't like other MMOs where you see players everywhere. You only see players in the main town areas, and there are several channels like runescape worlds, and each channel has a cap on how many players can be in there. But when you are out in the field where all the quests and monsters are, you're either solo or with whoever is in your group. What was shocking was the fact that Guild Wars still has a very healthy player economy, with trading, cosmetics and everything else. I can't believe a game this old that hasn't had a major update in over a decade still has so many players playing. While I didn't continue playing it, i'd say its worth the 20 dollars to explore the game and get to enjoy some real good internet gaming history. I played a lot of different MMOs over the years. But runescape is the MMO that I always come back to. I still pay $4.99/mo to this day.

The best way to enjoy RS3, I think, is as an ironman. Account progression is satisfying and attainable for just about all play-styles and you don't have to worry about treasure hunter. And regarding community, most players either find it in a clan or socialize in more heavily-trafficked areas. War's Retreat is usually pretty bumping. And with the new Fort Forinthry update, there's likely to be a lot of players there at all times.

I've never been genuinely entertained during an ad on youtube lol honestly good job

you have the single best ad-reads of any content creator, regardless of their area of youtube. Good shit dude!

I could listen to J1mmy talk about anything for 20 minutes even if I had no clue what was going on

Biggest RS3 tip: find a clan. You can bypass the crushing solitude and find people who genuinely want to socialize in-game.

My favorite thing about rs3 is all the quality of life improvements. Bank presets, massive amount of teleports, bossing hub, unlimited run energy, magic notepaper for bossing trips, etc. etc.

Part of the reason I personally love By Release so much is because you talk about the lore that I've missed the 15 times I've done each quest

My answer to this question is the same one I've had for years; I genuinely believe that if you enjoy one of these games, you will enjoy the other one too if you just give it a chance. The games have a lot of shared DNA, but are enjoyable for different reasons. In OSRS the grinds can feel more rewarding mentally but in RS3 the rewards are much more tangible. A great example is Sins of the Father vs. Lord of Vampyrium. In both of these quests, you unlock Darkmeyer and a weapon that whoops some vyrewatch ass, but in OSRS the best reward for doing so is a blood shard which requires an amulet of fury to even do anything with. In RS3's Darkmeyer, you unlock one of the best methods for training prayer and combat in the game for ironmen which is also 100% afk, gives enough supplies to replace all of the super restores you use during the method and still profit on them, and on top of all of this gives decent firemaking xp as well. Completing quests in OSRS feels good because you completed the quest, completing quests in RS3 feels good because you get some bomb ass rewards.

I played EVE Online for 11 years. At the peak I was the "CEO" of a manufacturing corporation with 112 players. I was never actually any good at the game, but thanks to my disabilities I had the time and motivation to plan logistics and was almost always available to quell issues and manage relations with rivals and allies. Ended up earning enough trust to get tipped off that an internal power struggle was coming thanks to the integration of a Russian mining corp into our chain of operation, and I liquidated nearly everything silently over a week long period of when many players had IRL obligations with finals. I made about 5K USD, used that to help solidify my hold after emigrating to the USA, and to this day I cannot leave Jita due to the amount of still active players willing to sui*ide gank me. The hate mail, kill mail, inquiry mail, and threats made to my life have been saved offline and remain cherished to this very day

Jimmy, I just want to reinforce a feeling that a lot of us have. We're here to watch your content. Not just By Release. We enjoy listening to you talk about things you're passionate about. Doesn't matter if its Runescape related or not. If you make it, we'll watch it. Much love dude ❤️.

Recently got a nostalgia hit and came to watch this. Which in turn lead me back to the same issue I’ve always had with this game. I want old school, but it was dungeoneering which drove me into staying with the game towards the end.
