Since the release of Old School Runescape back in 2013 the game's player base has consistently grown year after year recently reaching all time peaks, It's also a game that I've been playing on and off for the past few years but recently more than ever with Runescape Mobile coming out soon, as time's gone on more staff has been dedicated to OSRS and the MMO now receives weekly updates, sometimes new expansions, new bosses, new quests and many events. In this video I pretty much scratch the surface as to why Old School Runescape is still one of the best MMORPGs to play even today, I'd even go as far as saying it's the most well designed MMO I've ever played, despite it's age, despite the graphics I think if you've never played Old School RuneScape before there's no better time to start than now.
What are your thoughts on Old School Runescape? do you think it's worth playing or returning to? have you enjoyed OSRS in the past? let me know in the comments below!

---Old School Runescape (OSRS) description WIKI---
Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Jagex. The game was first released on 22 February 2013 in response to the declining playerbase and negative update reception of the original and then-current version of RuneScape.[1][2] OSRS was originally an exact copy of RuneScape as it was in August 2007, but has since received engine improvements, new content, and quality of life patches. Proposed gameplay updates to the game are voted on by players, and are only implemented if 75% of paying players accept them.[3] Despite having a smaller staff and a slower relative update schedule, OSRS had more than twice the active players that RuneScape had by 2017.
