Great video, well thought out. I started back in 2005 with school buddies but its unfortunate that they are now fathers and don't always have the time. luckily one of them still plays and introduced his 8 year old daughter to it. Then again he should not let her around drugs lol
Lol wild I almost feel like your talking about me but my daughters 10 😮
Being a dad is no excuse not to play, I'm a full time dad of 2 with a 2050 total main, currently learning how to boss and raid. Family is priority but they also needs to be relaxing time
@@INFLICTEDPAIN213 too each they’re own lol it’s like saying having no computer isn’t a excuse you can play mobile or at a local library.. it’s personal preference and or reference/issues I have 3 kids and a 2100 main but I do find balancing my time extremely hard. Also I home school my kids and they’re with me 24/7 I don’t rely on the state or government for childcare and or a break but most do
As a father of 2 who works full time while the wife does home school, I've got a 2100 total iron that I've been raiding on, but the biggest struggle is definitely finding time to play. Balancing the work, family, and leisure triangle is tough.
Dude I’ve got a wife, 5 kids and 2 businesses and I play still lol.
It's a shame you don't have more subs. Your video quality is very good. I enjoyed this one. Good work
I guess it really depends on the person and how they get into it. I never played back in the days and started around early 2020 and now im maxed lol. I got into the game because i saw it as the ultimate idle game. Little did i know...
Great vid as usual man, keep up the grind lets goooooooooo!!!

Great video ngl earned that like and sub
How I sell OSRS to a friend who never properly played, is to think about a good old classic RPG with a huge world, lore, detailed quests, and that authentic feeling of adventure and progress.
There are no loot boxes, no season passes, no level 90 boosts like in other new MMO titles. It is not a themepark MMO. It is like classic wow in the sense, that a big part of the game is just leveling up and discovering the world. Except in classic wow, 40% of the game is about the leveling grind and 60% is about the raids. In OSRS 90% of the game is about the leveling progression, and maybe 10% of the focus is on chasing best in slot.
Just don't let them get the idea that they will be raiding in days. That they will be an epic gigachad in insane gear, right after starting. I told my new player friends, that they will be starting off with killing goblins and other low tier monsters. They will be fishing and cooking their food to grind. They will discover quests that have really good rewards, and obtaining meaningful upgrades along the entire way. It is not a 100 meter sprint like modern MMO leveling. It is a beautiful 100km hike where you get to choose your own path. Remember to enjoy it before it is over.
very good video and some excellent points for sure. Aside from the graphics, I think one thing that turns a lot of people off, particularly competitive players, is just how much rng there is. It doesnt feel good when you can play better than your opponent and still lose because they simply had better rng than you. Thats not to say that PvP isnt heavily skill influenced, because it definitely is, but when 2 players who are closely or evenly matched fight, the deciding factor often becomes who gets the better hits and thats something they cannot control. Compared to a game like CoD for example where the better player always wins.
Are you going to release a video on how to get friends? I'm stuck on that part.
I like to describe OSRS to my friends as a "glorified aim trainer." AimLabs/Kovaaks but with actual content. Switching from console to mouse and keyboard for FPS games back in the day seemed way easier for me than most people, most likely cause I played Runescape on the side while I was a console kid and was basically practicing clicking heads.
That's an interesting take lmao, I've yet to question why I feel similarly. Went from RS as a kid to Xbox playing Halo for a while. Only to pick up CSGO as a first PC FPS game and did better than expected in the transition from controller. Neat
this doesnt work for me. i need a relatively high sense to boss in osrs. and in csgo i start shitting when my sense is that high. clicks dont have to be nearly as accurate in rs. and things dont track or move very often. things like that tend to require a bit lower of a sense. high sense allows me to move all over the screen easily. but reduces my click accuracy slightly. not enought to affect rs clicks. but definitely enough to overcorrect on tracking a target in a shooter
Using arrow keys to move the camera and your mouse to click monsters and fletch darts really translates well to most pc games as a skill. I click way faster than other people when shooting semi auto guns in rust because I have so much practice making darts. Changing prayers in late game pvm and looting fast also seem to be similar skills.
funny enough osrs is more of a rhythm game than an aiming game.
You’ve got a CZcamsr documentary voice haha, I bet you’ll grow :)
god your videos are really great man, I hope you keep it up! This channel is going somewhere
I quit playing at free trade removal / eoc, and started again in like 2017. But when i got to the mid game with rune gloves, dragon defender, fire cape etc, i just got.. bored and lost my drive and motivation. Everything felt sooooo slow and unrewarding, i didn't really get any cool drops or lucky clue scroll pulls, i went like 100 chests dry at barrows, i was constantly out of gold and in a price crash, i just had to force myself to to play because i just didn't seem to progress anymore. My next goal was barrows gloves and fighter torso, but i never got to it. I didn't really even want them. I lost that sense of achievement and it felt like unrewarding manual labor i had to pay for.
I had SO much fun before that though, and i was having the time of my life returning to RS, and i still think of that super fondly
I get my fix from watching osrs content on youtube, and i think that's cool too.
Thank you for putting some effort into your editing 🙏 it’s a lot nicer this way
Great video, now i just need to wait until you release one about how to get friends
Yes amazing video! I'm on a never ending quest to convince my friends to play runescape with me xD
The most fun I have in this game is raids and high level money makers like thieving elves, and bandos bossing. But to get my friends into that is hours and hours of grinds. Excited to watch this video see if there's any thing before that I can entice them with lol
How do you enjoy thieving elves it makes me want to uninstall
@@swiftfizz788 Easy generally afk 2m -3m an hour
The fact you have
Thank I was looking for a video on CZcams abt this last week lol
In my opinion, bossing for most bosses seems like high risk/medium reward.
The gradience is something I think about often and try desperately to instill into potential new players. I smoke a lot of pot and so do my friends, so I frequently try to tell them they can just vibe and fish and bullshit with strangers. A few of my friends are more competitive so I try to explain what little I know of PvP to them. It's just cool to get to explain the same game to people in many different ways.
Cool video idea. can you share all your ground markers :D
this video was wicked ty
Should have mentioned plugins. There are so many that change the gameplay drastically
Great point!
Nice video
Holy shit the speed run tip to practice Jad alone is worth the sub. Thank you sir
That intro is insane
I think most of us that are still playing, were the one out of our friend group that got obsessed with this game. My friends played casually as I was sneaking to play in the middle of the night lol
you got a like from me just from the intro "noobs to scam" now its time for me to finish the video
I will use this video to lure my friend into this world of never ending lust and balance between love and hate. I will see his journey as he sinks to lifelong addiction. *Insert villain laugh*
we are all watching the rise of runewraith, what a great video!
Cool video
1:44 holy .. that are ALOT of tilemarkers. sheesh!
I agree. I had to unmark them because it was burning my eye sockets.
@1:50 I've said this so many times which makes this game so expansive. There is ALWAYS at least 1 piece of content that will fit what you are also doing in real life!
Wow man. Beautiful video. Top advertising sustained with facts not promises. YOU Deserve Like and Subscribe !!!
U went from afk redwoods to old butterfly tech at Akka real fast❤
Ill try it out soon. Jagex shall thank me for 2 new players mark my words
A huge help would be if the advisor had a full on guide you can toggle. Do this quest, now go here and level this, now do this quest and so on.
Rs3 does a really good job at it and osrs could implement alot of things. EOC isn’t one of them lol
Haven’t really played RS3 but that sounds like a great idea. It’s not taking away your freedom but it’s helping you carve a semi-efficient account and getting you involved in more aspects of the game.
@@runewraith it’s worth checking out. I can’t stand playing the game because of EOC but the way they reworked skills, added in rewards for not afking well letting you afk way more, getting you to level 10-20 in every skill.
They guide new players along giving them time to find their own exploration interests.
Imo a easy solution would be just pulling things rs3 has implemented.
i've returned to this game back in 2018 i believe then later chosen to quit the game after the Shattered Relics (Was like the only time i had fun playing the game.) My goal was simple during the time i had return, play a little bit, get my farming cape i never gotten (I got it.), But after that i was just killing Vorkath for bonds and not really going anywhere else since i never had the skills for stuff like pvp and pvm.The game got dull after a while and i felt like i was just wasting my time not enjoying doing other skills that could had made my experience better. After getting 99 Farming i had really no other goals, I had good stats 70-90+ in most skills but never really had the energy to get max cause everything just felt really boring...I've requested a perm deletion of my account, it was fun to do the grind as a kid but as a adult it felt time consuming in a bad way and i see why i was better off probably going to RS3 since things are much more faster.
I can't seem to pick it back up because everytime I feel like everything progresses so painfully slow
Bro listed all the 80+ lvl afk options😂
If they just made the game introduce fun PvP and PvM earlier, and made some way nicer graphics and animations, the game would be the easiest sell of a game there is as an MMO.
Less reliance on the Wiki too, which at least has been getting better over the years (like the Activity Advisor). I kinda wish there were quests to kind of introduce mechanics like how how running makes you avoid obstacles every other tile, or prayer flicking, or combo eating, etc.
I 100% agree about how the game isn't just a tile clicking simulator in mid-to-late game, and it's actually like a fun rhythem game with depth in its various mechanics. So many people barely touch PvM or any of this stuff, so most people market the game as just an afk fishing simulator with social aspects, but it's actually way more than that. At least Tombs of Amascut has been introducing this stuff to more mid-level players, like myself. Completely changed my view of the game since the most PvM I had done before was just killing the Giant Mole or Barrows... which are kinda boring.
osrs is definitely a hardcore game and it takes hundreds of hours to get into the fun content (in my opinion ofc) - i think that in addition to the graphics are the major reasons why it's hard for new players to jump in.
Yea, most new players I've talked to seem to fit in more with rs3 than osrs. I mean Jagex brought it back for the older players who loved what runescape USED to be, so it makes sense.
I got into osrs 2018 when I was at a pals house watching ufc with some buds and smoking pot.
The dude I was smoking pot with kept trying to get me into clash of clans and it looked so fucking corny and my other pal who doesn't smoke was grinding on osrs just minding his own.
Needless to say I got watching him now I'm lv123 almost 2k total lvl.
90 base combat stats and a $100-200M bank can have you ready to do most end game content. A lot of BIS gear outside of some notable weapons provide very negligible DPS upgrades. It's still quite the grind tho.
what happens to me:
friends and i play another RPG and some say, "this game is good, but wish there was something that requires more grinding"
me bringing up the world of OSRS:
👁👄👁
didn't get my friends to play OSRS.. Did get them to play Rs3 tho, and they are enjoying it more!
I highly suggest telling new players about ironman mode.
The only reason why I hate osrs is bots and if you are playing normal mode, you're competing with gold buyers, bots, scams etc.
Ironman is much harder, but playing a bit of main and then transitioning into ironman is my advice.
#7 best community hands down
unless you know you're in a mini game of literally any type then they're the worst community ever.
The one friend i have who got on osrs that didnt play as a kid likes to get to the start of mid game then get hacked/forget his password
Good video, but I don't think you covered the best topics to convice anyone. I would not mention the hard early game or the economy, id probably mention the huge size of the game and the varities of content to do and probably even the pvp wilderness for example for the ones who enjoy pvp, but great video either way
I agree with a lot of this video but suggesting to grind stats to 60s before becoming members is very...slow. Especially with a few very easy members quests.
One of my friends asked about getting into it and I told him it’s hard for me to recommend because I know him as a gamer and raids and bossing would be fun for him but the 1000 hours before is kind of a hard sell.
That’s the biggest deal breaker for my friends too. You gotta enjoy the grind because most people will burn out trying to rush their accounts to be raid ready to play with friends.
They still don’t wanna play what do I do
Introducing your friend to runescape is like introducing them to cocaine, why tf would i do that?
Cause it gets you high duh 🙄 😒
Got my friend to play, he got 99 str at sand crabs afking and now he gets yelled at for having low slayer. XD its great!
See everyone oversells this shit. "BATTLE MONSTERS!" You point at them, then they point at you, then they go "Weh" when you hit them during the automated combat. Sure end game and bossing can get cool, but the 5k hour actual not fun grind to get there sucks. the fact our game even gets new players amazes me. Every MMO has a market you can play.
my buddy said he tried even back then but just liked wow more and i’m like bruh i likes and played both come on!
My friend got me to start playing in 2021. I’m pretty sure he regrets it because osrs is all I play now lmao.
tbh i love the graphics im kinda weird for it but i like old games and old looking games i have no nostalgia towards the game either. i started playing in high school around 2020 and i still play till this day maxing both my accounts B).
Friends?
Well Idc about Ray tracing but graphics is usually a benefit.
I try n try, if the person didn't play when they were younger it's a 0 percent chance
yeah but what if I'm trying to convince them to play osrs over ffxiv
Very bold of you to assume that I have friends…
I'm here for a long time not a good one
My friend always complains about everything. I tried to get him to do kbd with me he just kept bitching about how hard it was. He has 80 range
Oh and he hates spending all gp. Bro will not pay more than median price. He will sit and wait. If he spends 10k on activity, it's too much and I need to cover it. I spent like 5m on him just to play with him.
You can even play gnome football all day long.
How to convince your friends to ruin their lives.
Jokes on you. I don't have friends so Noone to convince me to play hah!
The problem is that you can't really play together with your friends until you've poured like 100 hours in the game or so. :(
That is the big issue. If my friend were to join at this point the only thing I could do with him would be to kill goblins 🥲
Don't need to convince friends, lmao, people who are curious what I was playing on mobile when they see me play OSRS, I always tell them Guiness World of Record MMORPG and they get interested
Absolute pleasure of a video. Much appreciated. Will def be bookmarking as a reference for people looking to try out this game we all love 🤍.
Runescape is a time sucker
I had a friend tell me RuneScape will drop off because of the graphics lol
I honestly wouldn't call EOC a disaster, it just took the game in a different direction where the split became necessary. Both games are excellent in their own right but they're different games now.
The release of it sure was though
@@Shwrecked Okay yeah I'll give you that
Old school jewscape
forgot the #1 reason. no micro-transactions. (I wouldn't call bonds a micro-trans) this is a huge reason to play, not just runescape, any game.
I tried to bribe my friend into playing with gp he took the gp n hasn't played since... 🙃 I think I just got scammed 🤔
i convinced one person to play by letting them use my spare account for a little while so they could experience the better stuff without having to grind first. unfortunately, they didnt want to start a fresh account and i wanted my pure back so never joined up. i think it its time jagex started offering pre-trained accounts for sale, they could make a fortune doing this and it would attract a lot more players to the game, even have current players starting pure accounts to co their main. even better - give us the tools to sell accounts ourselves, like their own ebay for example
There is already a market for this, cornered by third world countries n stuff. What you described is what happened to the game Tibia, and it completely made everyone who has ever progressed their own account quit now people level by grinding GP and buying higher level accounts lol. Made a lot of the game seem pointless, osrs is a grind based game for sure
@@LoveSpellzFB i get what you mean, i didnt mean lvl 99s. maybe something like armour use levels up to rune, or starters of pure accounts eg mages/rangers with exclusive untradeable outfits to make everyone want one
The graphics are not the hard selling point. It’s the fucking start of the game is abysmal. Hey this game is great here let’s do the worst fucking skill for 12 hours on a roof to get graceful.
I love coming back to osrs but I can’t imagine trying to sell this game to people unless they play like mobile games or something else mega grindy
"the developers care about the balance of the game" yet fails to mention how the last update to the wilderness just a few weeks ago just completely screwed over a lot of old players with the idea of power-creep with the newer weapons, they require less effort than some of the god-swords to obtain, and are just far better, honestly really lazy of jagex to do something like that on top of it hurting game balance
struggled a bit with the word barbarian huh lol
osrs just isn't as attractive or fun as other more modern games that get released. all my friends quit rs throughout the years and i have been playing less and less simply due to the fact that they don't wanne click the same spot for 100 hours to train a single skill while they could be playing something more engaging, actionpact or just more fun. i've asked them if they considered starting rs again for some bossing or raids and always get the reply "why would i braindead grind rs when i can play x or y." i can't blame them tbh. and since they quit it's been less and less fun for me aswell since i have to play with random clan members or strangers. just compare ff14 to osrs. both are mmo's but ff14 has a better crafting system, better raids(mechanics and visuals), very noob friendly aswell as a very good story and it's very rewarding for every type off player from rpers to hardcore raiders. osrs's reputation as a scam fest doesn't help either. if you add all these things up osrs really doesn't seem that appealing anymore to alot of people or at least to my friends and i.
Feel free to quit anytime you want pal. The game isn't for everyone.
Dude... In 2003-6 - - 7th-10th grade all my buddy's played rs lol... I don't even know if those guys still play though cuz they're all losers, and I don't talk to them.
Osrs is too grindy. Go to rs3 instead. Problem solved.
dont lie... none of us have friends
Do your friends a favour and don't try and convince them 😂 This game is like meth
Just play rs3
also good
Everything about this video is why people don't play.
You're looking at it from a seasoned player's perspective, and that alone, is a huge turn off to new players.
Getting owned by the dark mages in Varrok was part of the fun and feel of the game.
We need to stop sucking up to everyone who just wants a timekiller or an easy dopamine fix. It's players like this that have actually RUINED the game.
My proof: Castle Wars.
Can't have a fun time in Castle Wars anymore because of the players who farm it for decorative armor. STUPID.
