Unless Jagex decides to bring these improvements to Steam, don't expect to see many veteran players lining up to download the game on Valve's client. RuneLite keeps the heart and soul of Old School intact, while simultaneously modernizing the tedious, iconic grind. And while there's a lot of fun to be had in the grind, there's no doubt that several portions of the game are stuck in the past. Old School RuneScape is already a grind-heavy game – maxing out a single skill will likely take you over 100 hours. I couldn't imagine slogging through the Arceuus Library without RuneLite's book finder, playing semi-AFK without its audible idle indicator, or trying to effectively grind without its XP tracker. Not only does the game look better – thanks to increased draw distances and smoothed animations – but the time-saving features are an absolute blessing. However, after you clock 20 hours in the game and you start figuring out its myriad systems, the benefits of a third-party client such as RuneLite can't be understated. Playing OSRS through Jagex’s base client is a wildly different experience to playing via RuneLite, a third-party platform that brings hundreds of beneficial features – and is arguably the best way to play Old School RuneScape.
These offer additional benefits to the game that are compliant with Jagex's rules, but aren't available in the official version. Launched around eight years ago, OSRS is based on a 2007 build of RuneScape, meaning it lacks many of the conveniences of other modern MMOs and can be a challenging game to break into.īecause of this, most OSRS players choose to launch the game through third-party clients. Old School RuneScape is a different beast entirely.

That game is currently celebrating its 20 th anniversary and launched on Steam last year to rave reviews. While it'll no doubt introduce the nostalgic world of Gielinor to a whole new audience, Steam is probably one of the least enticing ways to experience the magic of Old School.ĭespite its name, Old School RuneScape is actually the younger sibling of Jagex's other MMO – RuneScape. Jagex recently announced that its beloved MMO, Old School RuneScape, will be making its way to Steam on February 24.
