As someone who played more than his fair share of Runescape I can tell you the glory days of hopping on right after school and doing literally anything are far gone.
Runescape/OSRS in general are a lot less casual now, everything is about efficiency. You set your goals and then grind them out, XP/hr and GP/hr are what is most important to everyone it seems like.
With that in mind, they're both great games to play but it's a huge time commitment to get anywhere in the game.
The main differences between both games is the focus each game puts on each activity you can do.
RS3 is all about PVM, skilling, with community and quests taking minor roles. It's an older game so the extremes are even more extreme, being maxed in level is considered normal. The real cool stuff is super high end, costing billions of GP or many hours to accomplish(yes you can spend real life $ but fuck pay to win). I'd recommend joining a clan or some group to really enjoy the game. I'm a completionist/lore nerd so I much prefer this version.
OSRS puts the main focus on PKing and PVM, with skilling/minigames taking minor roles. It's a relatively newer game so a lot of the stuff is still in its' infancy but has a lot of really cool things already like Raids and the Inferno, and new areas like Zeah. In this game it has a massive community but you're better off learning how to do things solo, maxing out your skills isn't necessary by any means.
