Modern RuneScape and Old School RuneScape are different enough games that recommending one does not replace the other. The modern version has more guided questing and a smoother onboarding experience for players coming in without nostalgia for the early 2000s browser era. It runs comfortably on modest hardware and the free tier gives you a real taste of the world before membership comes up. It sits here rather than in the main list because Old School RuneScape is the stronger low-end choice by a small margin, but if the pixel aesthetic of OSRS puts you off, this is the alternative to try.
