In case you might be interested, there are a handful of private-servers for old school RuneScape. And they usually give you the ability to choose an XP multiplier. 2009scape for instance, gives you a 5x multiplier by default.
They’re not 100% complete recreations, but they add more quests all the time and I believe they have most skills.
Worth checking out imo. You can even download and run your own copy of their server (with some effort), and then you can tweak literally anything (again with effort and knowledge of Java)

I tried a couple of those a few years back, but even with the xp multipliers, it seemed like a bit too much of a time commitment :(

Fair, I guess at that point, it might just not be the kinda game for you. It is grindy by design, the official game, of course, wants you to stay in the game longer so you buy more subscription time.
Idk, I enjoy playing OSRS on occasion, they added sailing as a skill, and honestly it was pretty cool. Having your own boat and being able to freely sail around the entire map. I mostly play for the nostalgia though.

It certainly was my kind of game growing up when I had a lot of free time, but even then, I wasn’t super into grinding, I just did it to get to the quests, which I very much enjoyed. If there was a server with virtually no grinding and just quests to where I could play it essentially like an online point’n’click adventure with some combat, I’d hit it for sure. :)
