I was very resentful to the changes that RS underwent following it's

Evolution of Combat update back in the day. I was reluctant to even

give RS3 it a shot for quite a while. I tried logging in OSRS Gold some time ago

using my account from the beginning and was completely confused. Maybe

I should try it once more with a fresh account and pretend I have no

idea what the game is. I might play on an Ironman account there.

That's what I've heard: The idea is that RS3 works best if you

completely discard your preconceived notions. Apparently, Burthope is

the new Lumby which, to me, I see the town as a depressing little

isolated town that's not located on the road from Fally to Catherby

However, a lot of players probably see Lumbridge as some castle that

connects Draynor and Al Kharid.

That's because you're basing it on your memories of Burth which is why

the Burth in RS3 is substantially expanded and more or less joined to

Taverly so it's pretty big.

It's has agriculture, an agility course, a player-owned home portal, a

flax field, sheep, loom+spinning wheel, a mine, an anvil and furnace

and a dungeon to train combat with a slayer-themed dungeon, shops

selling the different styles, a slayer master, the herb-based and

summoning shop/supplies and a dock that has boats to ferry you to

destinations like Daemonheim for the dungeoneering experience, a

twisted, higher quality substitute for chef's helper, thieving zone as

well as a bank...

Basically, every skill but divination, invention, and archaeology can

be done there. It has a sample of everything and a pretty decent path

system to guide players around the town/world. The castle is also the

location where the story of the moment began, using the castle as a

sort of neutral location for any important leader, and a place for god

willing to attend Seren's world council meeting in the upstairs.

Though to be accurate Burth is where you'll end up. First, you start in

Davendale or tutorial island. Evendale is a more developed tutorial

area for starters which is currently in A/B tests to determine if it's

superior to a tutorial island. As a whole response to it has been

incredibly well-received.

Following that, you'll drop into Burthorpe. Then, you'll follow an

open-ended course that teaches you some essential information, and

after that you're free to do whatever you like. They offer a variety of

paths within the path system to follow to give you guidance otherwise

there's this sampler of content to help you get your beak.

The idea is to offer the player a bit of instruction at the beginning

and then provide some assistance with a game that doesn't completely

lock you in for long, then let you fully free into the open world. This

is to avoid those who are new joining feeling overwhelmed by cheap Runescape gold all the

possibilities there is to be played.
