Within Runescape exists a cheap OSRS gold duality. I say"almost completely," because based on direct writer Dave Osborne, Old School Runescape serves as something of a drawing board because of the younger brother.

In a meeting with PCGamesN,'' Osborne said that"it is probably rude to call this, however I feel as Old School Runescape is a fantastic creative beta" -- a testing ground of thoughts, if you will, for its more modern counterpart.Osborne goes on to say that he's convinced the programmers of Old School Runescape think about the relationship in the complete opposite manner, and that his interpretation of this scenario"kind of trivialises it and also diminishes them, which is not how it's meant to be." But the advantage of that specific setup is that Jagex"has to determine how players perform [Old School] content and what sticks"

Later on this summer, Runescape's second major growth, The Land from Time, kicks off. As well as sending players off to research a long-lost island, the update will introduce a lot of ancient monsters -- and it is going to be interesting to check if the Old School team can bring those into their game daily.

A new landmass is opening up on the map of Runescape, a mysterious island now shrouded in fog if you start up your map. The new island is named Anachronia, and it's home to a ruddy enormous dinosaurs. To get here, you should help finish a ship that's been under construction in the city of Varrock for 11 years, with that finished you can set sail for Anachronia at which you are going to have to establish a base of operations, navigate a island-wide Agility course, and -- yes -- hunt some dinosaurs.

Old School Runescape players can recognise the landmass as Fossil Island, but in the warped deadline of Land Out of Time there are no fossils available, just enormous beasts too large for players to shoot down through regular battle. To take down the island's dinosaurs you'll need to participate with the newest Big Game Hunting activity, which sees you setting up traps to bring down these behemoths.

In addition to this there are minigames to make extra XP, a variety of quests, new Slayer monsters, a base camp to build and upgrade through your time on Anachronia, and finally craft either the new Hexhunter maul or set of dino hide ranged armour. We moved hands-on Land From Time to RuneScape Mobile gold explore as much of the new landmass as possible, so here's what you'll be able to look forward to when the launch date rolls round.
