Old School RuneScape is an MMORPG set in the medieval, fantasy world of Gielinor.\u00a0 The game used to be called just RuneScape, but now there\u2019s a current version of the game (officially called RuneScape 3) that arose by way of all the various updates that turned RuneScape into something different than what it used to be.\u00a0 Old School RuneScape, however, reverts the game to its 2007 iteration and beckons old players of the game to pick up the mouse again.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s developers strategically draw from wholly retrospective appeal.\u00a0 The graphics are kept at their now ancient quality; the mechanics are almost entirely point-and-click; the combat is of a clunky, turn-based nature; and the leveling system requires unrealistic patience.\u00a0 Old School RuneScape, at first look, doesn\u2019t boast any features that would be respected or even accepted<\/em> in the modern gaming industry, yet its popularity reveals success in some other, more complex criteria: nostalgia.\u00a0 The game\u2019s charm comes from these arguably negative features as they contribute to a playing experience that pulls each player back into the memories of their childhood, and Old School RuneScape boasts of this quality at every chance \u2013 even in the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
