OSRS buy gold is the type of game in which you have to bookmark the wiki until you can get everywhere. But if you are willing to push through the harsh learning curve, and should you discover Runescape's freewheeling sense of adventure liberating rather than overwhelming, you might well find your eternally game.
Part of this reason Old School Runescape is really bad at explaining itself comes down to its own heritage. A decade ago, there wasn't any Old School Runescape. There was only Runescape. However, following a major update totally overhauled Runescape and turned it into what is now colloquially called Runescape 3, Jagex conducted a poll to determine if players desired independent servers where they might play Runescape as it had been back in the day.
Nearly 500,000 people said , and Old School Runescape was first born. So, the threadbare tutorial is more than enough for those who've played Runescape before (like myself). Nevertheless, Old School could still stand to guide new players somewhat better, because it is completely unlike other MMOs.
Everybody has the same 23 skills, which could be grouped into battle skills like Power and Ranged, crafting abilities like Herblore and Fletching, and collecting skills like Fishing and Mining. To put it differently, you're not a mage, you've got high Magic.
You're not a warrior, you've got high Attack, Strength, and buy RS gold. Your skills reflect your playstyle, however there is not a hard division between personality types. Everyone is invited to level all their abilities, and the end goal for most players is to find all of them to 99.
