OSRS

Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed and published by Jagex. Released in 2013, it recreates the 2007-era RuneScape experience on modern servers and operates as a separate game mode with its own progression independent of the main RuneScape game.

OSRS is built to resemble the look and feel of early RuneScape, featuring an isometric, sprite-based presentation, a large open world, and a variety of quests, skills, and activities. Updates to OSRS are driven by a player-driven governance model: new content and changes are proposed by the community and must be approved in public polls before being implemented. This system preserves the retro feel while allowing ongoing expansion.

Players can access the game as free-to-play with limited content or through paid membership for full access. The title emphasizes skilling, exploration, PvE activities, cooperative play, and occasional player-versus-player content, including areas such as the Wilderness.

OSRS is available on PC (Windows, macOS, Linux) via a Java-based client, and on mobile devices (iOS and Android) with cross-platform progression linked to a Jagex account. This cross-platform support allows players to switch devices without losing progress.

The game has a large, dedicated community and a long-running content cadence that distinguishes it from more modern MMORPGs. OSRS remains one of the most popular and enduring entries in the RuneScape franchise, known for its nostalgia-driven appeal and active polling for future development.
