Hi there,

I’ve used to play OSRS many many years ago and enjoyed it at the time. I never maxed an account nor did I get too familiar with the whole world, as I only played free to play version. However, ever now and again I think about start playing again but I can’t really make it stick… As in, I keep loosing interest after a short while. Anyway, I wanted to ask for some recommendations for what could keep me playing…

I don’t remember any of my accounts, so I’ll start fresh. Should I pay for membership straight of the bat? Or should I try to complete all free to play quests first? Is there anything in particular that keeps you coming back to OSRS that you would share?

Appreciate any tips!

    I don’t play this game and have no idea how I ended up here. But, I know the answer to this one, I think.

    I once wanted to live in the desert. I worked for it for a whole year (when such was possible): saving, planning, changing vehicles, then job hunting. I totally got there.

    After one week in the desert I decided I fucking hate it. For awhile I thought it was a total fucking loss. But, then I realized that if I’d not gone to the desert I’d never have learned I hated it. I’d still be unhappy and still wanting something that wasn’t going to work. I’m glad I went to the desert or I’d never have found my love of the mountains.

    If it’s not a significant sacrifice to pay for a membership then buy the damned thing. See if it makes you happy. What is it, $10-20 for a month? And, that’d answer a question about happiness you’ve had for years. Seems cheap.

    If that $10-20 is important, PM me. I’ll give it to you. Get your answer. I’d consider it money well spent.

      Thanks for your answer and offer, and glad you also found love for the mountains! ⛰ I’ll give membership a go, as you say it’s not that expensive.

          Sorry for the week late reply…

          Its been really quite refreshing to jump back into this actually! Still enjoying it :) I started of using the new HDOS client, which was quite nice, but then tried Runelite and have stayed with that, altough with some nice tweaks here and there that I gathered from some content creators (Settled).

          Considering it had been so many years since I last played, I started ofc from scratch following the basic adventure path which got me going good. Completed that the other day, so now looking to start on some free-to-play missions. I fee like if I can manage to complete at least a good amount of them and still enjoy OSRS, then I will try out the membership!
