What kind of game is this? Old School RuneScape is the older version of RuneScape, which has been developed quite differently since then. The game was released in 2013, based on the version that RuneScape had in 2007.

Since then, the old title has been expanded with new content, while still focusing on the same virtues of group play, grinding, and a “hack ‘n’ slash” control scheme. Every new feature must also receive 75 percent approval from players before it is implemented by the developers.

What content does it offer? Similar to RuneScape, the older version focuses on:

• Dungeons
• Farming Equipment
• 23 Life Skills
• Mini-Games
• PvP Content

Notably, Old School RuneScape, despite its age, still regularly celebrates new player records. Additionally, it seems the developers have found the ultimate cheat code for one of the biggest challenges of older MMORPGs: attracting new players.

What do the Steam reviews say? So far, Old School RuneScape has received 20,775 ratings, with 82 percent being positive. In the past 30 days, the 174 new reviews even have an 85 percent rating. Old School RuneScape currently has significantly more positive momentum in terms of Steam reviews than RuneScape.

How many players does it have on Steam? In the past 30 days, there was an average of about 1,430 players online. The peak during this time was 2,343 simultaneously active players. Most RuneScape players are likely playing outside of Steam: Ancient MMORPG breaks 250,000 players simultaneously, even though the developers have raised the prices.
