I went to start playing this again after a long hiatus and found that my account had been compromised and subsequently banned for macroing, along with the throwaway email I used for it being compromised as well.

I got the accounts back under control and changed their passwords and such, and sent a ban appeal, but there was no option for me to enter anything about what happened and I've read a lot of reports that they don't unban compromised accounts.

So basically I'm hosed and have to start from scratch if I wanna play again. Should I bother with new runescape or play OSRS?

OSRS is dumb bullshit that barely has antyhing to do with 2007 runescape with all they've changed, just play new Runescape.

It's doing fine, actually.

I dropped RS3 for 07 because of the unrelenting cash shop stuff. You will miss out on some storylines (this is not important if you hold down the Space key), but do yourself the favor and roll on OSRS. More people play it and despite all the weird poo poo they've added to it, it's probably the truer experience.

Try 2017scape, if you don't like the graphics or combat, try old school.

Nah, OSRS is garbage and is definitely not even 2007 anymore.

More people "play" OSRS in that it's easier to get away with botting I guess, not sure how that's useful. It's definitely not a truer experience unless you thought bots were the most important aspect of RS.

RS3 has more QoL stuff, OSRS is more "nostalgic" and generally harder if that's what you're into.

Regardless of what rs3 has over osrs I will never ever play it because it is a cash shop hell hole, while osrs is at least an honest timesink.

People have been up in arms about the cash shop poo poo recently but I honestly don't get it. Can't you just close the treasure thing window and it doesn't bother you until you log in again? I don't think there's any part of the game gated behind payment, beyond the standard monthly membership.

Yeah you just, don't need to buy anything at all. And while I buy things it's all using bonds I get from passive coin collection like doing ports and Slayer tasks, not real money.

They did unban mine, and I was in a very similar situation to you.

No, it doesn't support the worst Runescape version. It supports the second best one.

There's an OSRS version coming too, I think the RS3 one just seems to have had a beta/alpha test more recently. I believe you can still sign up for the OSRS mobile beta here. The last newspost for OSRS mobile looks like they're working on converting the UI right now.

What the hell is up with your raging hateboner for OSRS? I've been playing it and it's pretty much exactly what I wanted out of an old version of Runescape, whereas the new stuff is loaded with free exp lamps and cash shop poo poo.

I swore I had read something where F2P players could repair members items to sell for bonds, but apparently not for me. Had to liquidate a bunch of my slayer tab to make up the cash for a bond.

Someone owes me a Dharok set and I am actually looking forward to collecting that debt
