I played a lot back in '06-'08... Those were the days. Was going to log in just for old time's sake but once they asked me to download it I thought nah. Some things are better left untouched. (Actually I just didn't feel like installing anything tbh)
You don't *have* to install anything if you aren't playing on Chrome. Runescape is still very much a browser-based game and is supported in any browser than can play java. Chrome can't do Java any more, so if you try to play it in chrome it default-asks you to download the client.

You're totally right. I thought I had Java installed on my laptop, but it wasn't... So there's the culprit. I'm on my older computer playing Old School right now. Back to tutorial island, babes
As I say, it's an outfit that boosts your run restore rate. It's a bit of a grind to get but it's worth it. I think it's definitely one of the first targets an OS player should have.

I actually looked it up after posting that because I was curious about it. Considering I'm already well passed Comp and on the road to Trim in RS3, I doubt I'd mind the grind - I actually kind of like agility, too. If I ever do get into OS, that'll be one of my first goals, definitely.

Tell me about it man. I need 50 for my QP cape goal and I think 56 or 58 for the Lumbridge tasks. 50 is only like 100k experience and I have no motivation to try it at the moment.
In contrast I have two RS3 accounts with 99 Runecrafting

It's slow but still a lot faster than OS. I've been really spoiled by Runespan and Ivy and I can't be bothered 99ing those skills for a third time on the version of the game that doesn't have such good AFK methods.
I might play RS3 from time to time. It'll be from scratch because I don't feel like resubbing one of my old mains and I'd rather use the account I've been using for Old School.
