Play With Players Across Multiple Platforms
As Oldschool Runescape is a multi player experience with the ability to connect thousand players on a server, playing Oldschool Runescape on LDPLayer allows you to experience the joy of playing with other players from across multiple other platforms with ease without any fees or purchases.
If during the server connection process, players encounter any problems regarding server connection issues, you can fix this by using LDPlayers’ Network Bridging function, allowing you to connect to the server better and may even offer an edge over other players by having a better connection and better ping than on other gaming platforms.
Experience Nostalgia With Runescape Controls
Like many old Runescape players, the way you can control the game using the keyboard have been ingrained into most avid players, including myself, and having to control the game using the mouse is a bit awkward most of the time.
Well,thanks to LDPlayer 9.0’s Key Mapping function, players can experience the controls of ye olde Runescape by assigning the game’s controls with your keyboards’ buttons
Personally, I normally assign the keyboard buttons as followed for the smoothest gameplay:
- For Camera Angle Controls: To control the camera angles when playing the game, you can use the directional keypad to control the camera using the 4 direction ASDW buttons.
- For Hotkeys Buttons: To quickly use Oldschool Runescape special Hotkey buttons, you should assign them to some key buttons that you usually use in order RPG games like E,R,T,Y to quickly access special areas.
- For Items Slots: To quickly swap between items in the item slots and inventory, players should assign each item to a number button from 0-9 to be able to quickly use them when needed.
However, If you do not find the button's positions good enough or if you want to change the key binding for these movements, simply choose the Keyboard Mapping button on the Emulator side bar and adjust the buttons by dragging their positions and assigning new keys to them.
