Yes, you can play OSRS and RS3 at the same time, but there are specific rules you need to know. The main rule is that you cannot use the same character in both games simultaneously. This means you need separate accounts to play both versions together.
I often use two different accounts to play both games.
One account stays in OSRS, where I can buy OSRS gold and level up my skills, while my other account explores RS3. This setup works perfectly and is completely allowed by Jagex.
Here's how to play both games at once:
- Open your first RuneScape account in either OSRS or RS3
- Log in with a different account on the other game version
- Position both game windows on your screen
- Start playing both games
The good news is that you can create as many RuneScape accounts as you want. Each account can access either OSRS or RS3, just not both versions at the same time.
You'll need separate membership subscriptions if you want member benefits on multiple accounts.
Remember that your progress, items, and achievements stay separate between OSRS and RS3. This means starting fresh on each version, but it also gives you two different gaming experiences to enjoy.
