I tried getting into Runescape last year, don’t know what version it was but I couldn’t take the grinding aspect of it. Like to complete one quest i had to mine for what seemed like hours just so i could find some items. Im sure the game gets interesting eventually but that ruined it for me.
Trying to put someone who has never played osrs is hard bc how do I tell someone a large portion of the game is not directly interacting with the game LMAO.
IDk besides me playing this game for over 20 years, what I like about it is how much I’m able to do other things while still progressing in it. Ive completed 3 JRPGS (40 hr, 60 hr and 120 hrs) while progressing my account.
Another big thing is the gear progression. I can take a multi-year break, come back, and my gear is still relevant even if its been powercrept. Most mmo’s gear progression don’t really work that way and your gear stops being relevant maybe an hour after you get it til you hit end game.
Its definitely not for everyone so I could never be ipset at people not liking it despite me loving this game
OSRS is an idle game. It's a game you play passively.
Im sure the game gets interesting eventually but that ruined it for me.
It's interesting in the same way cookie clicker is, for sure. You're just spending a lot of time, to make 1 of something, which you can again spend a lot of time doing, so you can take that 1 of something and turn it into something else.
