RuneScape may be the biggest MMO that TheHiveLeader has never played. I think it's time we change that with a two part series covering RuneScape! This is Part 2: New School or RuneScape 3 or whatever. TheHiveLeader is wrapping up his adventures in RuneScape with the new-ish kid on the block. Does this version hold up to the Old School version? Which is better? I dunno. Let's find out!

    Excellent review! I liked the "deep questions" that you didn't pretend to have answers on. I actually think a lot of people are going to be asking themselves something similar when other games release... especially ones that brag about how old school they are. (Pantheon, I'm looking at you)

    Look forward to comparing Classic Wow with newest Wow. Should be really interesting.

    one of your best videos in a long while :) im almost tempted, having never played runescape i was started on the behemoth in the mmo world. So i might just have a DL of the new version, dont think ive got time in my life to dedicate to hitting creatures for 100s of hours to get to level 2 :) 

    But i did enjoy the video.. thx.

    This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

    This was a great video as I ask myself those exact same questions when I go back and forth from new mmo's to older.

    I've never minded long leveling (I like it) but there are conveniences in the new games that sometimes trump some of the play in the older games.

    So ... which one are you going to spend more time in?
    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Try the "Special Edition." 'Cause it's "Special." https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64878/?tab=description

    I tried playing it after watching the video and I'm afraid it's a bit too old school for me. Great video though.

    Good video and good questions which I don't know the answers for myself too.
    Anyway I installed the new one right after watching the video ;)
    Played it for a few hours and liked it so far. The only thing that bugged me was the camera controll with the scrollwheel button. I hope I can change that to right mouse button or something else.

    I found camera control to be odd as well, that scrollwheel wasnt working so I'm using the WASD controls, which is also weird but better than the mouse.

    No idea what server to join (63 of them) or what a "Trade" server is,  so picked a high pop US east coast one and went with it.

    Finished the tutorial and made it to the mainland last night, so today the adventure begins.

    Kyleran, the label the server has just means its the suggested server for that activity. It makes it easier to coordinate the community that way.

    All I can remember about Runescape 3 is "You cant go there"...After about 10 of those I deleted.
