Old School RuneScape

Old School RuneScape is the older look of RuneScape, kept alive as its own game and still updated. It's a plain, cheerful fantasy world called Gielinor where you level up a long list of skills, from cooking and fishing to fighting, and work through quests. The unusual part: players vote on changes before they go in, and a change that fails the poll doesn't ship. It runs on a computer or a phone.
