A game mode cobbled together from a partial backup by a few staffers, yeeted to the fanbase as a fun, nostalgic "sorry" for crapping the main branch of the game up. Over 10 years later its still here. Personally i think the biggest strength of the game and its development methodology is also its biggest flaw - Community voting and preapproval for updates. So many updates have failed to make it to the game because the fan base are exactly what you'd expect from reddit/discord/mmo playing nerds. Incredible difficult to please.

It was an haphazard game mode that has grown into its own, and has been creating more and better content than the original for the past few years. The game has been growing a lot again after the COVID peak and it's reaching its all-time high. The population chart of OSRS vs RS3 (called EOC here) is very telling: https://www.misplaceditems.com/rs_tools/graph/ https://www.misplaceditems.com/rs_tools/graph/
