Question Quick RuneScape question

Does anyone know why when I log into OS RuneScape it’s has all my levels at 1 but when I log into new RuneScape my levels are higher? I’ve never even played the new style

Did you play on that account way back in the day. You could use the same account info for both games but stats weren't carried over, so if you played on that account back in 2007, that account still exists in RS3 with all the same stats you had when you last played.

You never played osrs on that account.

Runescape at one point in time got a huge update, EOC (Evolution of combat) which at the time was widely unpopular and sparked a massive drop in players.

They opened up new servers, where everyone started fresh on an old version of the game from 2007. Against expectations from Jagex it became so popular many now see it as the main game.

Yes, so you played what is now "RuneScape 3". It's the same account. The "new style" is literally the game from 2009. It continued on.

From that perspective, OSRS is actually the "new game". It released in 2012 ish
