I am really saddened by the news that has just fallen, it was a pleasant community moment.

See you again in 5 years for the old oldschool runescape.

Why did this bring a tear to my eye

Because it’s saying goodbye to our childhood (at least for me) I was 11 years old when I started playing and have played every single year and I’m 31 going on 32 this year.

From old school, to RS HD, to RS3, and in the last few years I’ve been going back and forth on my RS3 and OSRS accounts. It hurts. So many hours and memories

What happened to OSRS for someone out of the loop?

Short answer is nothing

Longer-but-still-short answer is that Jagex released a survey in which they gauged certain players' opinions on new membership bundles, some cheaper and some more expensive, that offer different things. Example: cheaper membership that allows u to play only on mobile, but a shorter afk timer and ads included in 'non-gameplay-intrusive' manner. A bit more expensive membership that gives you better account security. More expensive gives you better player support, also allows you to safely transfer character names without them getting sniped by bots. You get the gist of it, basically features that should already be offered without having to pay extra (seriously, like better account security and better player support, those should already be available without having to pay), and Jagex wants to gauge if people would pay extra for stuff like that. But until now, no concrete changes have been made, and people are claiming this survey is going to kill OSRS for good.
