Old School Runescape just made new players' lives much easier without immediately killing the spirit of the classic MMO
With even the BBC and MSN kicking off the new year with talk of Old School Runescape, it's only a matter of time before one of the most beloved and best MMORPGs around closes in on its highest concurrent player record yet again. And in a likely attempt to retain an influx of people who weren't even born in time for its 10th anniversary, the franchise's 25th anniversary has begun with... a minor simplification of what oldies like myself would claim was the heart and soul of the game. Time erodes everything.
