Old School RuneScape Heads to Steam February 24

Jagex have declared the Steam release date of free-to-play classic MMORPG Old School RuneScape. In 2013, developer Jagex published a new branch of RuneScape gold, based on the 2007 version of this game. It became a free-to-play game in 2015, and still sees regular content updates through community votes. The original Runescape launched in 2001. Players are free to take on the world as they see fit; with over 140 quests and 23 skills using a free account, and a complete membership adding 120 more quests and eight more skills. Existing Old School accounts may be used using the Steam version, with all progress kept undamaged.

Some folks only need to hang out with friends. And you will find plenty of people to do that together in Gielinor. But those who want seek a different kind of adventure have plenty of choices, too. Regardless of what you're specializing in, the quest for the ideal loot will possess skillers and perfectionists obsessing over their character builds. The most powerful additive, the mightiest bow, the most *fabulous* hat -- there's always something to aim for. And if you are among the most ardent adventurers, make certain to let people know by donning one of the many Capes of Accomplishment. Who knows, perhaps one day that the fabled Max Cape could be yours? From the dastardly dealings of corrupt rulers to the daily musings of the village baker, tales of both... world-shattering urgency and casual procrastination abound. Over two dozen major quest-lines make it possible for players to delve right into Gielinor's future and past, and also the pages are still being written, awaiting you to witness their sanity. This world goes where you go, too, with full cross-compatibility around PC and mobile variations!

The key to Old School's success is both special and unique -- it is you! In the afternoon Old School was born, we recognized that building on the game's foundations while staying faithful to its very essence was crucial. That's why players have the deciding vote on every advancement that is or is not introduced to the game. In-game polling is not the sole interaction, either. Join developers in their routine behind-the-scenes live-streams, or chat with them directly across our many social channels. Old School is possessed as much by its players since it is its makers.

For all those outside of those worlds of WoW and Old School RS Gold, it could have seemed a strange turn of events when the 2 games re-released what could be explained as older versions of themselves as standalone games. However, the figures clearly show why this was a good move. And while'WoW Classic' doesn't beat out the Retail version, it does come close to a 50-50 divide when it comes to active, everyday players.
