Any reason other than nostalgia? Was asked why I play osrs the other day and nostalgia was all I could think of.. but I feel like there's something other than that.

 

Side note, I've noticed a greater percentage of total players on old school lately.. I think.

Yes, I play it because I don't understand RS3 ;-; I like the old fixed window. And they forcefully took it from me!..

Combat system; balanced endgame content (though GWD is out now so that might no longer be the case)

Nostalgia, PKing, Combat system and just a fresh start really but that didn't last long went back to RS3 and started making mills. :/

Combat System that´s actually functioning properly, no insane luck factor and certainly no EoC!

Other then that, PKing, Skilling is actually rewarding, no easyscaping and nostalgia aswell ofcourse.

 

I also like how players can create their own oppurtunities in OSRS due to the lack of the Grand Exchange.

Well, Zybez did slightly ruin that but it's still better then what RS3 has to offer.

GP actually has value, the 'real' RS combat system, the fixed screen, the simplicity, the fact that I know more or less everything about the game, the fact that I can actually move up in the hiscores if I put some effort in and also, because this is how I see Runescape in my mind. This is what I remember playing and loving, this is what pulled me in, and I love that I have the opportunity to return to 'my' Runescape.

.. so yeah, mostly nostalgia, I guess.

You could spend 5 minutes figuring out how to clone it with the interface - It may even be one of the presets you can change to.
