Runescape 2007 vs RS3?

[Terror Squad]

I've been out of the loop for a while, Haven't played Runescape in a couple years. What is the difference between Ruenscape 2007 and RS3? Which is the more popular server?

And last question, which is more worth it to play on in terms of actually mattering, as well as Items/Gold actually having value.

Runescape 3 is the most up to date version of Runescape. Runescape 2 was, of course, what you were familiar with. They then made Evolution of Combat which changed the way combat is, and then announced Runescape 3 which is an update to graphics, sound, and giving customizable interfaces. You could basically call it WoWscape.

Runescape 2007 is exactly that, Runescape 2007. It is basically Runescape as it was in 2007, old combat, old armors, old everything. It lets you relive your glory days of Runescape, however you start fresh on a new account. You can use your RS 3 info to log in and everything, but you will be a level 3 nooblet destined for the old tutorial island . Oh, and you need to be a member to play on 07. Runescape 07 does have a small development team and sometimes sees new content.

More popular server..I'm not sure, it seems that they're split. Probably a little bit more play Runescape 3. Runescape 3 is the continually updated game, and considered the core game. However, many disagree with the changes Jagex has made, thus world counts are embarrassingly small. Worlds are sparse in terms of players and much content is dead...

How is this relevant...you may ask? Well items/gold have more value in Runescape 2007. Gold is worth a decent amount of real life cash per million coins, and demand is high for RS 07 gold. Meanwhile, RS 3 gold is cheap. The ratio is like 10M RS 3 gold for 1M 07 gold.

I'd put more value in 07 scape...as the players depend more heavily on others for items, which costs money.

Real life money wise, RS 07 blows RS 3 out of the water.

I play both games, but RS 3 is pretty dead.

rs3 gold is cheap, why do you bother even posting that paragraph exactly?
You're comparing a game that's been out for over 13 years to a game that came out this year. It's fucking obvious that the older game's gp worth is going to be cheap due to the Trillions in the game.


ot; Both are dead. Rs3 barely caps 40k players while 07 barely caps 14k.

What's the point of your post? The original post posited the question, you imbecile. I gave an answer. It doesn't matter how "obvious" to you it might be. The aim of that paragraph is to answer the question. I swear I lose intelligence reading your posts.

Literally nothing you said offered anything to the conversation. This isn't the first time you've incorrectly/annoyingly/needlessly/pointlessly/futilely tried to correct one of my posts, hence the "losing intelligence" quip. Which is true, your posts are often baseless and a pain to read. You should work on that. Or since you already think all of Runescape is dead, you can refrain from posting about Runescape..since it's so dead and all.

Oh really? Let's point out every single flaw in your post then, shall we?

Runescape 3 is the most up to date version of Runescape. Runescape 2 was, of course, what you were familiar with. They then made Evolution of Combat which changed the way combat is, and then announced Runescape 3 which is an update to graphics, sound, and giving customizable interfaces. You could basically call it WoWscape.

Calling it "Wowscape" is a demoralization of World of Warcraft. Their intention wasn't absolute bullshit because it did have a backbone to it, and hence why there's still more players in RS3 then 07 will ever have. The only flaw they did was the poor planning on how to corporate it into the game which caused alot of items to be absolute. It's absolutely Nothing like WoW, and since you stated so you clearly never even played WoW, so why bother posting?

Runescape 2007 is exactly that, Runescape 2007. It is basically Runescape as it was in 2007, old combat, old armors, old everything. It lets you relive your glory days of Runescape, however you start fresh on a new account.

Let's use your own hypocritical post against yourself shall we?

What's the point of your post?

Tell me what's the point of referring to the log in system and all the other bullshit? 07Scape isn't exactly like 07 and never will. There's a new minigame new armour and weapons and now a new boss coming out. It never revived the glory days, because putting a 2013 community in a 2007 time frame will never work. 07 Game servers are so utter trash that it's become a common thing to just lend a booter or a botnet and hit the world offline for personal gain.

More popular server..I'm not sure, it seems that they're split. Probably a little bit more play Runescape 3. Runescape 3 is the continually updated game, and considered the core game.

This surely is a joke, right...?
Eoc is definetly more popular then 07Scape, you're simply biased towards 07 so naturally try to defend it. Eoc caps around 35k players usually and there's barely any bots. 07Scape? LMFAO. 07Scape barely caps 13k players and don't forget the THOUSANDS of goldfarming bots. You're talking about eoc worlds being a joke compared in number of players?here:

Please whine a bit more on how EOC servers have barely any players when 07 has practically the same.
Again as stated above, you're simply automatically biased to 07 thus try to make it seem as if 07scape is heading in the right track when in reality it can't even compete.

And this is stated in my previous post. You're already biased towards 07 and state the obvious and since i called you out you simply go in defence mode trying to even argue.

End of the day, they're both dead and just because you're biased towards 07 doesn't mean it's actually any better. Also i post on runescape related discussions because ;

a) I sell gp, thus i need to be informed on current events.
b) I Also bot in small amounts on the games to sell for irl.
c) Just because i state and know the games are dead, doesn't mean i can't post, Random child.

Runescape 3 is the main game and Oldschool is a revamped version of Rs 2007. In terms of activity runescape 3 wins. Both games are on the decline. I'd play runescape 3 over oldschool just because there is so much more to do and the updates they are getting are better to that than rs 2007. Gold is much easier to acquire and buy on runescape 3 than oldschool so that's another plus if you want to spend some money to start yourself up.

Literally nothing you stated there is even remotely true in regards to my arguments. You falsely assumed I am biased towards 07. I was informing the original poster. I also clearly state 07 gets new content. I play both versions and I said I prefer 07, that doesn't make me biased to 07.

But it's about time you actually post something relatively coherent, I stand by my comments that past posts in reply to me have been outright poorly written and incorrect. Most of what you say above is irrelevant (Derp I'm a geepee seller like 80 percent of the forum so I must know what I'm talking about!!)

I said probably more people play RS 3, so all of your assumptions claiming I stated otherwise out of some bias for 07 = false. Also where did I say 07 had a ton of players? Again, you're just inserting things that I say to try and strengthen your argument you just manifested out of nowhere really (based on opinions that I do NOT have! argument.

I also play WoW, and it was a joke. I questioned your character and you had to attack everything I posted, I understand that. I respect you actually growing some balls and finally putting some thought into your posts...even though I still disagree with most of it. Your general statistics I don't refute, because I never challenged them. I simply disagree with your view of my argument.

I apologize for calling you unintelligent though, I was getting off work after an 8 hour shift and in a crummy mood. That was too harsh.

Please stay on topic guys. Flaming each other is not leading to an answer to the OP's question.

 

[bennyboy457]

i prefer rs 2007, purely because its more simple and enjoyable

RuneScape 3 was the least popular when OSRS came out, but slowly the members on OSRS have dropped to around 15k at peak times, while EoC is more like 40k at peak times. Sucks that the servers are that bad nowadays they can't handle either, when RS2 used to boast 200k+ players. If you want RS like it used to be, play OSRS, but be prepared to start again. If you wanna carry on where you left off and don't mind changes, play RS3.

Play both or you'll be flamed by the people who play one or the other, sad but true.

False. Everyone gets flamed lol. Cuz I play both and got flamed on this very thread.

 

[Anthrax666]

I play both, but I do thing the direction of which RS 2007 is going is a lot better (with how they are handling new content)
