When are you XIV and WoWfags hopping aboard the train? OSRS has been and will be the greatest MMO of all time, don't miss your chance to say you were here during the game 2nd Golden Age.
>>715338549 (OP)I've been playing RuneScape since 2006. I have a feeling I will never quit. It's the only game that I still play actually
>>715338549 (OP)>MMO>you actually play the game solo 99.99% of the time>has modes dedicated to solo only playersthe fuck happened to this genre?
I fell asleep blackjacking today and almost died
>>715338809the genre has always been that you silly cunt
>>715339132 Based. That’s the true OSRS experience - risking life and limb for 200k xp/hr and 2m/hr max. Your suffering fuels the economy, king. Now go splash some water on your face and get back in that tent, we’ve got gp to make.
Speaking from someone who has done a decant amount of ~high level PvE (cleared inferno, lots of raids KC, never bothered with blorva, for reference), I think the economy is absolutely fucked for anyone trying to get into it. Unironically, what you should do (and what everyone does), is just buy gold, since grinding to get out of the "mid game" is abysmal. Fang was a good cheap option, but they systematically nerfed it until it stopped being a good budget option. Magic damage has been fucked for years now because of the shadow, and they "fixed" it by nerfing the cheap mid game staple item.
It just seems like MMOs should try to speed up the onboarding for new players into high level content, but OSRS actively works against that.
>>715339207You have literally never played an MMO older than 2015.
>>715338549 (OP)Because I'm waiting for the better game to come back.
>>715340263this is why plying iron is the best way to experience the game. mainfags can seethe all they want about this factually true statement.
>>715340897Until you get to the endgame and it's sheer cock and ball torture.
And then you come out on the other side of that cock and ball torture knowing that every single upgrade actually matters and is a massive, permanent milestone for your account. The ultimate whitepill.
>>715340897Iron is fun for going for a quest cape on. I will agree, this is probably objectively some of the most fun you can have in OSRS. Iron doesn't actually fix any of the problems with PvE though, and just makes it worse for sane people, since you can't even skip the shitty grinds you don't care about, and are just going to be blocked by boss drop RNG.
>>715341158classic wow is literally impossible to get to level 10 without grouping up in the very first place u spawn in the world ats
>>715338549 (OP)OSRS, the new fotm judging by the mmo youtubers spamming videos about it. Cant wait to see what comes after OSRS, my guess will be project epoch.
>>715341387>project epoch.nah, its mostly streamers hopping on osrs like they did xiv before, they cant stream epoch on twitch or blizz will get them banned
>>715341237literal children were able to do it back in the day
Varlamore killed the game, literally EZ scape island, remind me of for fun clasic wow server that made the game easy.
>>715341532blatantly false, u can boot upclassic right now and forced to grp for pgress from lvl 1
>>715338549 (OP)I tried it out again but what's the point of calling it Old School when it's really not? They've bastardized a bunch of old quests and NPCs and the GE is a bot enabler that removes the only reason to socialize. Do tell me if you still have to talk to another human to complete Shield of Arrav.
>>715340263thats what makes osrs good
>>715341635>Do tell me if you still have to talk to another human to complete Shield of Arrav.most ppl make an alt acc in the rival gang for this nowadays instead of finding another player :)
>>715341570it's been ezscape long before varlamore
>>715341614why would i boot up classic now when i spent my teens playing it. if you cant even beat solved games today then i don't know what to tell you lad
>>715338549 (OP)I'm already playing 2009scape offline and whenever my friends or my wife wants to hop on and join, they can do so by connecting to my IP address.
I don't see the point of investing time into live service games.
sailing and stackable clues are massive mistakes
>>715340378I have never interacted with a single person in my whole life while playing WoW, other than flinging shit at each other for "stealing" creeps and gathering resources. I only started playing it multiplayer when I hosted the server for my 4 friends.
>>715341893yeah. though project zanaris getting canned was a rare win for jagex. maybe one day they'll realize shit's a bad idea before they waste time on it
>>715338549 (OP)I quit when they removed male/female and won't be returning until it's back. woke trash game
I play Albion Online. The best sandbox MMORPG in the world.
>>715338549 (OP)Dude fuck the end game autism. Patch out prayer flicking. They won't because they'd have to rebalance how prayer points work entirely
>>715340790Gotta fill the void with something
>>715340263>It just seems like MMOs should try to speed up the onboarding for new players into high level contentThis literally killed WoW. Do not do this.
>>715342009>Let's split the community even more to appease the hardcore audience.Jesus Christ stop listening to people who hate the game please Jagex.
Sailing could be great, but it's gonna depend on the content released
>>715344575>genre swaps from idle clicker to bus schedule rhythm game after you've completed ~90% of the contentthe classic bait and switch. RPGs should have almost no player skill involved outside of coming up with proper builds, either go full stats game or full action/reaction game, anything between is malformed
>>715339207Habbo Hotel was literally just a chatroom, built purely around talking or RP'ing with randos online and people spent hours playing it daily. Now stuff like that would at max gain 10 players and then die.
People are all scared of social interactions now and want everything to be singleplayer friendly, but still want to see players roaming around them.
>>715340263Not being able to skip the early or mid game is the main thing that makes OSRS good and worth playing.
>>715338549 (OP)Anon, I don't think you want wowfags to join OSRS. I've seen the talk of the exodus, and all I can say is I pray for OSRS players. After the LGBT event pozzing, the body types and pronoun shit, getting flooded with WoWtrannies must be another divine punishment and I've no idea what you've done to earn it.
>>715338549 (OP)Played RS regularly until they upped the membership prices
It's just not worth the money anymore
>>715347483that's not the genre changing, that's the entire internet landscape changing. why would you boot up a habbolike these days when you can hop on reddit or discord and talk to any cunt about any garbage without having to furnish a room. runescape was one of the first MMOs and it had zero group content. oldschool added group shit like raids and people bitch about it catering to antisocials, okay sure. you wanna socialize go play XIV and sit in limsa, or play second life and talk to the mid-40s women who are trapped there. sick of idiots whining about lack of social interaction when they themselves never bother attempting to strike up conversations in a game
>>715338549 (OP)I did after needing an MMO fix, and then uninstalled it a week or so later. I had just spent the night before grinding 55 Magic from the mid-40s and had logged in to do some quests. After walking around for a bit, having fun, I had this massive, sudden realization of what the fuck am I even playing right now? Grinding just to grind more just to grind even more after that?
Uninstalled immediately after that. It was genuinely such a visceral and overwhelming feeling of pointlessness that I still feel badly whenever I think of Runescape now.
>>715347483>Now stuff like that would at max gain 10 players and then die.I mean VR chat exists, though it's a lot more involved than the usual chat simulator was back in the day.
