Indeed, most of skills in RSC were harder to level. The thing what mtade RSC great was that you were basically on your own. You will figure out the way to fight, to mine (also finding the mines), to range where to buy certain things, where to start quests and such. Also, you were ask to choose what would primary trade would be (mine, fighter, adventurer.. i chose to be a miner just in case you're wondering). RSC was unique in many cases, whoever played rsc was a part of a runescape period in which Jagex dealt with major bugs (p hat dupe to a name a few.) and had a lot of ideas which involved trial and error (fatigue ftl!) Some skills, like mining required a lot of clicking. I recall earning gaining my first 30 mining levels by first clicking the pickaxe and then clicking the rock. Yet, while some argue that RSC was better or RS2 is better, the main goal or objective for everyone who plays this game is the same, to have fun and be the best you can, in whatever scenario. All I can say is that RS is a great game which many enjoy to play, let's hope it stays the way for a long time.
