If you spend five minutes to set up some revolution bars you'll get the same low combat engagement without the loss of 25-30% damage

its cuz it is. There's simply a bunch of little improvements for xp/hr from easier banking to actual extra places to skill things. You have to self-impose super Ironman rules on yourself in rs3 for most things to progress like osrs does.

Every time I peek back at this cursed time hole they've fixed like five of my fundamental issues with the game, looks like I'm back.

edit: I got the Fletching pet last night, my understanding is that they're vanishingly rare but do they do anything useful

They're just cosmetic. You can however, make it so that summons look like any of the skilling pets you've unlockedz

Just did the waterfall quest in OSRS and had a bunch of fun. I never played back in the day so it's not really nostalgia. Just haven't quested like that in an MMO ever, really.

At what point does doing stuff with other people become viable?

It’s kind of moot at this point since I’ve gotten my attack to 20 and str to 28 but the extra jump is still nice. Maybe I’ll get the membership after all.

I did it at level 8 with 1 defense. Just bring lots of lobbies, know exactly what you need to click to get the quest pieces and have run energy. Being in popular world's helps (other people will be fighting mobs).

The only time I died was crossing white wolf mountain.

My ign is Genseric for anyone playing

I shouldn’t have any problem then, just from playing mindlessly while I watch tv and at work I’m level 33 with almost everything at 30 lol.

I just piled back onto RS3 earlier this month and completed a few longstanding goals- Priff access & 99 ranged were the big ones. Scraped & saved & killed a bunch of QBDs and managed to buy myself a nox bow to celebrate. Been a long time coming

When they made OSRS they forced it so that noone's data carried over from the 2007 backups they had for two reasons:
1) They weren't quite sure everyone's player data was intact
2) They weren't sure they were going to keep it around anyway and it would have been data from a time when there was still a shitload of hacked/stolen stuff in people's inventories, so they figured they might as well kneecap attempts for people to pull some temporary profits out of that stuff

So everyone got a clean start then and still gets the clean start now.

Just keep in mind, and I know this is true for iOS, that accepting the free week trial signs you up for a membership that will charge you after the 7 days if you don't cancel it.

I knew that signing up but had forgotten to cancel, thanks for the reminder. Fortunately, iOS makes it really easy to cancel subscriptions so it's done now.

Killed my first Araxxi tonight! No practice runs or deaths, just went for it and sheer dumb lucked & oversupplied my way through it.

Highlights:
- not even changing my ability bar to my ranged set-up so I did about 23k damage raw with a nox bow before I figured that out
- hitting just about every direction during the light path charge and still somehow nailing it in two wallhits
- defence skillcape sign of life was triggered on a hectic phase 4 in which I had literally no idea what was going on, just kept hitting thresholds and the spider bitch died
- I ate at LEAST four cleaves to the face. Managed to duck out on three? others

Can only get better from here, right?

edit - in hindsight, a highlight was the complete lack of using whatever the t95 ranged prayer is. Oops

edit2- highlight: the scrimshaw of cruelty sitting in my bank that I bought for this

Well I guess I'm done with the game. I just tried to log into old school on my android tablet and got a message that my account was disabled. Went to the website and it said I was permanently banned for Macroing Major and that it is not appealable. I'm not even sure what that is. I've only logged I to old school a couple of times on iPhones and tablets and logged into R3 for maybe ten minutes to see if the free membership trail carried over.
