Today's game is Old School Runescape. I got approached by a wizard who asked me to solve his maze. I love mazes so i figured why not. I have to admit though it threw me for a loop with how trippy the walls are. It made navigating it difficult. I managed to make it through though with around 60% rewards left so not too hard.

Honestly, that brings me to my main point. I love how Runescape isn't really grounded. They'll just throw shit at you and i love it for that.

I've spent the last few days just running quests and trying too get my levels up. I hope to take on the Dragon Slayer quest next. After that though i'm not really sure what my next goal is. Maybe i'll travel somewhere i havent been yet.

Anyways, a lot of these quests have kept me hovering around Lumbridge. I neglected a lot of my earlier skills so these are perfect for leveling up everything i had ignored.

That's probably all i'll end up doing for the rest of the evening. Tomorrow i think i'll go back to control. I finally caught up to my save last time i played and i don't want to let that go to waste.

Caught the addiction!

OSRS is a sandbox MMORPG, so you slowly build your character and do random activities however and whenever you like. You can come back to it years later and pick up where you left off without missing out.

This is in contrast to something like WOW which is often called a themepark MMO, where you make progress quickly, suffer from FOMO and then that progress is wiped when the next big expansion releases.

Now that you mention it i have noticed a lack of FOMO when it comes to OSRS, which would help explain why i like it so much. Whenever something hits me with an attempt at causing FOMO it always makes me go "Why am i tolerating this?" and start to lose interest fast. At best the thing will have some core part of it i actively enjoy, but there's a lot of "pure" FOMO things that i end up getting tired of fast
