Old School RuneScape is a 2007 patch of RuneScape. Until this year, RuneScape has gone through 10 years. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the game’s release, the game developer will hold a celebration event, bringing players classic visual effects and gameplay from the past.
At first, it was because the game direction that the developer Jagex made at the beginning was not popular with players, and even caused many people to reject this original game. Later, Jagex changed the production direction and launched Old School RuneScape, relying on the old feelings that attracted some players.
Although the beginning of Old School RuneScape was not good, but now, Old School RuneScape relies on frequent content updates to give players a different game experience. At the same time, it pays attention to the ideas of community players in selecting content, and adopts methods such as voting to select new content.
This game has become one of the most popular MMOs in the world. This player-driven approach to updates meets the basic needs of most players, and most of the community is happy to see old content come back.
RuneScape announced the detailed plan on its official website and also showed players the details of the 10th anniversary event. The anniversary event is running now and will run until March 15th. Therefore, players who are interested in this can join in at any time.
Players can chat with Cook’s new assistant at Lumbridge Castle through this anniversary event. At the same time, they will give players generous rewards during the 10th anniversary event, including different types of Cosmetics and rich RuneScape Gold.
This update also shows players the developer’s long-standing love for the game, and their dedication to maintaining it over the past decade. This is in sharp contrast to RuneScape 3 now. Just recently, RuneScape 3 put the long-awaited Avatar Refresh on hold, and players expressed dissatisfaction.
The celebrations held by Old School RuneScape are actually infrequent, and usually only focus on Easter, Christmas or major historical events. So it’s not so surprising that Jagex is paying so much attention to the 10th anniversary celebration.
This is not just an event, but more importantly, it represents a major milestone in the development of MMO.
Old School RuneScape was honed by a small, immature team. At the beginning, the team did not intend to keep the game in operation for such a long time, and only planned to update a tiny amount of content.
But, now they’re rolling out big updates like Old School RuneScape’s Group Ironman mode. A monumental achievement for the entire team and one that is well worth celebrating.
Ten years after the launch of Old School RuneScape, many players wondered how long the game would last. However, the game continues to go from strength to strength to this day, often surpassing RuneScape 3 in the number of online players.
Old School RuneScape will usher in the largest update ever in 2023, and players will vote in the community to choose which skills to add. However, this skill has often been complained by community players recently.
Regardless, now seems like a good time for Old School RuneScape to get going again, and even for new players looking for an MMO game right now.
