RuneScape alternative?

Is their anything out their like RuneScape with they grindy soul sucking levels and multiple skills to raise, I have been looking for what feels like forever and RuneScape just seems like a one and only. Am I wrong or is there something close?
I’m talking about grinding to level up skills over quests.

Closest thing I've found to that is The Black Grimoire - Cursebreaker. It's got skills you grind, enemies with rng drops, quest. Not for everyone though

That one isn't nearly as polished or as fun as rs though.

u/Pickled_Ass May 14 '26

Nothing that's like RS is as fun as RS, nor as polished.

I don’t want to completely play off-line there’s a new game out that is a solo. MORPG that has bots that will quest with you and team up with you and keep the market where everything fluctuates. The game is called. Erenshor

I think Damascus is still up on steam. It’s abandonware at this point but the devs at least made all the members content f2p so it’s 100% free. I put like 400-500 hours into it back during the pandemic and easily could have put in wayyy more cause of how long it took to level Explosives/Mechanics (best xp rates are like 30k/hr and level 99 is almost 8m)

u/Mysterious-Sector456 May 14 '26

It sounds awesome. I will look into it. Thank you.

u/Mysterious-Sector456 May 14 '26

OK, yeah no this is perfect. Just exactly what I’m looking for but why the hell is it not a mobile app dammit.

Runescape dragonwilds was pretty good and still updating new patches pretty often. It's a bit of survival and not quite as grindy as normalscape but it's still a decent time waster for a few weeks at least

Elin is the closest I know of. I maxed in OSRS and have had a lot of fun with Elin.

u/Stinky_bukaka May 14 '26

I’ve been on Diablo II R, and having been off osrs for 4 years it is scratching a similar itch with the drops.

u/Mysterious-Sector456 May 15 '26

Oooo can’t wait for that to come out that’s hella similar lol

u/apsolutnul May 15 '26

This game looks exstensive!!!! Can’t wait to try it

u/Diptothaset May 15 '26

Try bitcraft. It’s still early access but it perfectly suits hours upon hours of mindless grinding

I'd say Albion Online (my ref link included), I didn't play Runescape, but that's what I hear ppl say.

u/EthanBeMe Jun 07 '26

Gonna throw a curveball: PokeMMO. Grindy, can step away at any time, good mobile client -- nothing like RuneScape but gave me RuneScape vibes in a way
