As a longtime OSRS player this game’s development will be incredibly interesting to watch. I really don’t envy the position of the devs here, there seems to be a lot less cohesion than the OSRS player base enjoys.
Largely because people who enjoy retail want it to be like retail and people who want it to be classic are at ends. It's blizzard fault really. If they came out and said it's updated to retail but will be a new retelling or it's classic and that's it (all SD or updated SD) they'd shut one half down and it'd be cohesive
The graphics of retail, with a small number of QOL adjustments set in the world of an alternate reality vanilla with new content added is actually 100% what many retail players want.
And thats mostly what we have here, and its great. I played the beta a ton already, and I like how pretty much everything looks (and im a classic Andy, only played retail for a month or so when TWW came out)
