What is this runescape EOC and runescape 07 business? Is it worth coming back?

I have been poking around runescape lately after noticing people trading "RS07 Gold" or "RS EOC gold" for tf2 items (I have been in the trading scene of Team Fortress 2)

 

I stopped playing rs abruptly over a year ago because of how complicated it had gotten. It wasnt fun anymore, you had to do 30-60 min. of farm runs/mtk/stuff before ever actually playing, and then after that you had to do hours of quests/tasks to access the best tele/gear/ecto/pineapple runs. It was just getting really boring really fast.

 

Well recently I see rs EOC and rs07 and I naturally am curious what is going on.

 

From what I gather without actually launching rs again is that EOC is a rework of the combat system that makes RS more like modern mmorpgs with hotkeys and moves instead of the old back and forth fighting. This doesnt really appeal to me actaully. What is more interesting is rs07, which appears to be runescape from 2007 which is actually more interesting.

 

What I want to know from experienced players who have played since 06,07,08 is: Should I come back and take a look at things? Is EOC really just like any other mmorpg now? Is rs07 have a good player base? Is it p2p only or can f2p play '07? Is eoc and 07 linked in anyway? (Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just really dont want to actually launch RS yet)

 

Another question I want to ask is has there been any update to help the transition from P2P > F2P. When I quit, I was in the middle of a P2P quest and have my inventory full of members stuff, so if I start up eoc as a f2p will all that stuff ahve to be dropped or will it be in the bank and I can just work with a full bank.

Hello fellow TF2 trader. =p

 

If you enjoyed playing back in 07 and having your stats reset back to level 1, you might like 07scape. You have to be a paying member to access the 07scape servers (so no f2p), and the servers in 07 and normal RS are not linked in any way, shape, or form. Your items will still be in your inventory, and you can even put them in your bank as they won't count against your 87 bank spaces.

 

 

The new combat system is much different, but I really can't compare it to other games since I don't play other games.

 

As for the player base, its.... alright I guess.

Best thing to do would be to buy a month of members and give it a spin yourself :P

 

EOC features changes to the combat system including the combat rebalancing of all gear, which enforces the combat triangle more strictly and places more emphasis on type-matching.

 

RS07 commands about 40% of the online player base at any time, but you have to consider the botting population on both games. You will need P2P to play on RS07.

 

If you return as F2P you should still be able to store P2P items in your P2P and F2P bank slots, unless those are already full.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Would making a new account and using the 2 week free membership work for the Old School? If so, then you could actually test it out for free and see if you like it or not. Assuming that the membership is still around.

Finally on here to update that I have officially quit! It's been fun.

I'm 99% positive that that is a negative Ghost Rider.

2 week trial doesn't exist anymore.

Alright, I wasn't sure if that was still going on or not. Thanks for the confirmation.

Well, thanks guys for the info.

 

I launched it up and played around with it for a bit and honestly, I hate it. I liked that runescape was different from other games in that it didnt have moves or hotkeys or combos and stuff. Now that jagex just completely scrapped everything I knew about the combat system, I dont want to have to re-learn everything and get the perfect combos for pvp/pvm.

 

Also, its kind of disappointing how 1 for 1 for 1 the combat triangle is now, yeah it sucked that melee dominated everything else basically but it was fun to hybrid and be unexpected. Now its just a bit dull.

 

I might try 07 if I can sell out my EOC bank and buy a pin somewhere with the gp.

 

It was fun when I played. :)

 

EDIT: Just gave away all my f2p bank to some randoms on hyt chat. only 12m worth lol

Don't say you hate it without properly trying it. This is why we have all these [bleep]ing u-turns from Jagex, people are so OCD about change.
