Why Do You Prefer OSRS Over RS3? 🤔 (Research Question)

Hey everyone!

I’m a doctoral student working on a project at my university that explores why players choose to stick with Old School RuneScape (OSRS) over RuneScape 3 (RS3). As part of my research, I’m curious about the motivations behind player preferences and how these choices reflect broader themes like community, nostalgia, and gameplay design.

If you’re an OSRS player, I’d love to hear your perspective! What draws you to OSRS instead of RS3? Is it the nostalgic feel, the slower and more deliberate gameplay, the community dynamics, or something else? How do you think OSRS handles “quality of life” features compared to RS3? Are there elements in RS3 that don’t appeal to you as much?

Your insights will really help me better understand what makes OSRS such a unique and enduring experience. Feel free to share your story—it doesn’t have to be formal or overly detailed, just whatever feels authentic to you.

Thanks so much for contributing to this project! 😊
