Jagex have released Old School RuneScape on Steam, with cross-platform progression and an event to celebrate the game's eighth anniversary. Seeing all this news about it has absolutely blasted me with nostalgia. The free-to-play fantasy MMORPG is an old version of RuneScape from 2007 that was re-released as Old School RuneScape in 2013. It's been available to download and play online for ages, but I don't think I've thought about it since I was a wee babe in school. Lumbridge! The Grand Exchange! Not knowing what to do and just fighting goblins in a forest! Oh no, I think I'm about to download it on Steam.

The game's arrival on Steam coincides with its eighth anniversary, complete with an in-game event that sees you tracking down and capturing monkeys in Lumbridge. “Old School has something for everyone, and this past year we’ve seen it hit new heights: it’s seen the largest number of concurrent players, most members ever, and millions of active players across both the members edition and those who enjoy the game for free on both desktop and mobile," said Rob Hendry, executive producer for the game.

Given the fact that RuneScape kicked off as a browser game initially, one would expect the system requirements to not be too high and one would be right in assuming that. Old School RuneScape Steam page lists extremely old components in both minimum and recommended specs, along with the modest 200 MB of disk space that is needed to store the MMO.

In the release trailer, players are asked to come up with their own story. And this correlates with the gameplay: the game has a huge variety of gameplay styles, unique skills, powerful bosses, dynamic economy and various PvP battles.

Indulge in nostalgia at Old School RuneScape for free. But subscribers receive a number of bonuses, including access to the entire map, additional skills and quests, as well as exclusive powerful items of equipment.

Both the free-to-play and paid versions of OS RuneScape are available on Steam. Paying for it gives you access to more quests and stuff. Though, from what I remember, the free version has more than enough to explore. It also has achievements, trading cards and all those Steam gubbins if you like to collect that sort of thing.
