RS gold has released a lot of resources of EXP and fast procedures of instruction, for example levels from the 85 scope aren't exceedingly far out of reach for the new player. Post 90 levels remain for those that are hardcore, and have their own benefits, such as specific areas and battle perks.

Jagex's level of participation from the sport in general has also appeared to drastically increase. Laissez-Faire sport development, where items and mechanics would be thrust into the game and not touched again, ruled for several years. Multiple mechanical problems led, like the once gigantic imbalance of Melee/Range/Mage combat styles and abilities being completely unprofitable. Only recently has Jagex seemed to take a critical look at game mechanics, and work on polishing them. Melee weapons with fix prices equivalent to the bolt/rune utilization of the other battle styles does a great deal to even the financial field. Range and Magic also have seen steps required to increase their efficacy, with things such as the Staff of Lighting and Ava's Accumulator released. Versatility, once Melee's excellent strength, has also been awarded to those neglected combat styles. The launch of crossbows and 1h Ranged weapons made the style usable in much more situations, like against dragonfire. Magic stays in a poor spot, lacking particular benefits Ranged has like cheap gear and ammunition, but measures are being taken.

Many, many skills also have been overhauled to make them attractive. The formerly fully useless Smithing received integration into several objects, such as Godswords and Dragonfire Shields. In addition, the launch of this workshop helped battle skies high training costs. Herblore is probably the most visible instance, having become almost as essential for endgame content as Prayer and Summoning. In truth, only Firemaking remains completely useless.

Many of these changes are fueled by data mined by Jagex in the Grand Exchange, among the largest steps ahead in the game's history. Utilizing GE info, Jagex can respond to market OSRS Gold For Sale shifts, and accordingly design updates to resist economic woes.
