I've said a few times to people, it definitely reminds me of Runescape in that regards, I spent too much time chopping trees, fishing and mining back in the day and now all these years on I am repeating it in 3D world. If the game had questing like Runescape it'd be much better.
Used to do this in Ultima Online. Spent ages chopping trees to get the str stat to go up, only for it to decrease 10 mins later after you stopped lol
