I'll only stop playing OSRS if they shut the servers down.
When they do you can still play 2009scape! Has up to 5x XP modes in case you want a less grindy experience, a single player mode and a brilliant community
Worth noting that OSRS is really just a fork of RuneScape from around the mid RS2 days, (if I remember correctly it's based on a full backup someone found of their codebase, so it started as "hey look we found this old version of the game in a box in one of our offices, wanna play?") and now it contains more new content than original content. Heck way back in the day the idea of a sailing skill was always a silly joke that nobody took seriously, and I'm talking back when Hunter and slayer were being added. Yet here we are.
