Come home jaded gamer. Why arent you playing the most popular MMO currently, the true WoW killer Oldschool Runescape?

>Le mini game tranny simulator
Miss me with Troonscape lil gup

buzzwords wont save your dying game wowfag

>>715429696 (OP)
I am playing already.
Right-wing doesn't seem to like OSRS which makes me sad, old friends who used to play it refuses to touch it because it's "woke propaganda".
It's kinda sad, I don't really interact with the pride stuff because I'm a group ironman and just chat with my friends and maybe with people on minigames or grinding stuff.

>>715430031
>Right-wing doesn't seem to like OSRS which makes me sad
how mentally ill do you have to be to make this a priority when picking games to play

>>715429696 (OP)
Quite possibly the most boring MMO out there. I’d rather play p2w koreanshit than this.

>>715430107
YWNBAW

>>715430116
OSRS is p2w as well lol

>>715430125
says the tranime poster lmao

>>715430107
Right-wing friends*
My bad, haven't had my morning coffee. Just that many of my old friends online and some IRL are very big right-wing people. It's really hard to get along with them when their whole life revolves around American idpol, even when most of my friends aren't from America.
I just learned to not comment on them because last time I made fun of Trump, my friend, who isn't from USA, got angry at me and said I was spreading woke democratic propaganda.
I hope that explains it a bit better why I used it as a context. I just want more people to play vidya with right-wing people too who doesn't obsess over politics nonstop but it's hard to find that kind of people. Usually it becomes screaming about troons or "tranime" or commies or whatever. I kinda have to hang around with leftists these days. I can at least talk about "tranime" like Frieren and Made in Abyss as well so that's nice.

I just don't want to drift to "one political side" more than other.

>>715429764
WoW players trying to call other MMOs "tranny" will never not be funny

>>715430597
Break out of that circle, anon. That shit isn't healthy and you sound really young.

Also, no one "Drifts too far to one side"
Any normal, healthy person is going to hold left and right beliefs.

Game sucks and is nothing like what Runescape used to be. I get a comfier social grinding experience playing World of Warcraft Private servers than I do from OSRS.

>>715429696 (OP)
Old School is trash. I prefer Classic and RS3.

>>715432258

How so?

That does not mean I want full communism, you absolute fucking retards.

>>715432471
I was 10 at the time and knew nothing about the game.

>implying I'm not
Finally getting my quest cape, starting to get the hang of PvM and waiting for sailing. My acc is in its golden age.

>>715432665
until you have bowfa the game doesnt even start

>>715430597
You really need to make better friends

>>715432715
I'm getting the last level right now for SotE so I can do CG to get bowfa. I'm on my way, anon.

>>715429696 (OP)
Cause it is gay shit with moderation who steal. I enjoyed that grind once, but that's over now

>>715432819
>moderation who steal.
what are you on about schizo

>>715432925
>he doesnt know

It's too changed from the original at this point for me, the soul is lost. I'll be back when they make Old Old School with less Ironman pandering

>>715432776
are you ironman?

>>715429696 (OP)
Nah this game isnt it, only fun is pvp and that is not fun, with like 3 people in vc its fun for like 30mins but anything with 3 people is fun so why not just play something better

>>715429696 (OP)
>the most popular MMO
I dunno, is 80% of the population still bots? I can't imagine the actual number of humans playing is that high

>>715433329
No, but farming gp to buy everything and skipping prog is lame

>>715432925
mod reach and jed

>>715429696 (OP)
I would but I can't be fucked to grind the final few levels for 83 smithing. Then again, elite lumby diary would be nice...

>>715433552
Giant's Froundry made smithing a free 99, anon

Too busy playing Eve online sorry. Half my corp plays OSRS too but honestly I'm tired of OSRS, I played it heaps in the first few years and I really can't be bothered with all the tick perfect bullshit for PvM and PvP.

>>715433612
It's not about the money.
I have enough gold ore to get to 84 doing blast furnace with goldsmith gloves.
It's just so fucking mind numbingly boring that I can't stomach it.

it needs more weapon variety, I'm sick of scimitar

>>715433703
what always helps me with this kind of grind is audiobooks
total focus on the story and only muscle memory ingame, it'll be over before you know it
and you'll also have done something healthy and normal that could contribute to conversations in your social life

Waiting for the decensorship patch.

>>715433768
Whip
Zombie Axe
Noxious Halberd
Bowfa
Blowpipe
All the moons gear

Magic is still fucked though

>>715433768
I think they've improved the gearing a bit over time but it's still annoying how useless smithing equipment is and how many dragon weps are bad

smithing overhaul when

>>715433996
they're gonna spend the next decade on forcing sailing

>>715433996
Same time as Firemaking, never. Rebalancing Smithing means rebalancing Mining which means Rebalancing alch values which means rebalancing Loot tables which means never.

Give me a version without the troon shit and I'll play.

>>715433814
I just don't think I have it in me for another mindless grind
The last grind I did was 84 cons doing mahogany homes for a maxed house and somehow that wasn't nearly as awful as this feels, despite being much longer and almost as monotonous

>>715434152
Not him but I find Giant's Foundry so much more tolerable than blast furnace even though it takes longer. Pace is just right to fully zone out.

>>715429696 (OP)
I have an internal rule to not pay for 2 subs at the same time, but I play a f2p ironman and grind ogresses when I have some downtime.
I've been mostly playing Leagues on my main, but I kinda want to progress my main on the regular game, my f2p has already surpassed it on a few skills lol.

>>715434152
how did you do it? I'm on the same boat right now but mahogany homes is so fucking slow, feels like it'll be literally forever until I get 84
did you use mahogany or teak? or did you not do mahogany homes at all?

I'm interested in entering a comfy world and grinding up my character and playing dumb fun adventure game logic quests again up until the point where I actually reinstall and attempt to play the game again.

I think I've just outgrew it. I think actually the only reason why I played it in the first place is that I had no real alternative beyond it and flash games.

>>715434384
>pic
I found a really good group randomly that was grinding elite kandarin when I did my BA for the torso.
Very nice people, made the experience so much more enjoyable, but I'm still never going back for Elite Kandarin

>>715429696 (OP)
I'm waiting another, I dunno, 8-10 years

Jagex has clearly begun to understand that Runescape, since its inception, was not a video game. It was not an MMO. The gameplay was basically non-existent and the "multiplayer" was just trading and the designated PvP area. Runescape was just a centrally-authenticated competition in who could put up with the same tedious clicking the longest, and most intensely.

Now, they're finally trying to fix the game and give it actual gameplay and multiplayer elements, but it takes so damn long because, well, for starters they're kinda lazy, but also of course they have to contend with a community that LITERALLY goes
>wuh wuh wuh wait, this new method has XP rates comparable to tick manip bullshit
>that means, while it'll still take dozens and dozens and dozens of hours straight to 99, people might actually ENJOY themselves while doing it and actually WANT to train their skills
>AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, JAGEX-SAMA, ADJUST THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS
>IT MUST BE PAINFUL SO I CAN FEEL PROUD OF MYSELF FOR CLICKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
>IN THIS GAME THAT I (see: my parents) ACTIVELY HAVE TO PAY FOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

>>715434573
I skipped torso entirely and just went straight to BCP lmao

>>715429696 (OP)
I am playing it, its fun

>>715434468
I did Mahogany homes from 71 to 84 using teak planks on lunar spellbook with NPC contact. Plank sack helps a lot so you don't need to bank as often. Always bank if you get Falador since it's on the way.

>>715434756
ty, that's basically what I'm doing atm but I wanna kill myself
wish me luck

>>715434650
I don't blame you. Recently had to sell my BCP to get crystal armour for my bowfa, so I'm back to being a torso cuck

>>715434573
When I finally commited to it, it only took a couple of hours with 3 good randos to get level 5 in everything. Just have to find that one good team and keep going

>>715434650
>>715434813
bro u can skip torse nowadays and just go for blood moon

>>715433814
i used to do this then i realized, why the fuck am i wasting my time doing something where i'm just not engaged with it at all, i'd idleclick rs while playing real games or listening to audiobooks or lifting weights and i got i think 6 99s doing that, then it just clicked that it was completely pointless lol
it's not like it's a fun game to play otherwise, there are literally thousands of much better games out there
so i haven't logged in since, think my last 99 was woodcutting, feels good

>>715434856
That was pre Moons. Also I have blacklisted doing moons since those fuckers literally only ever give me the shittiest drops
>dupe protection
YES I KNOW

>>715429696 (OP)
I'm afraid of starting over. I got comp cape in RS3, and the idea of throwing it all away makes me hesitate. I'm also cautiously optimistic that Jagex can unfuck themselves.
>new CEO Mod North cut the LGBT bullshit
>he also confirmed they're going to work on removing MTX, starting with some tests like disabling it for a week, disabling hideous cosmetics, etc

>>715435219
they copy some of the good stuff from rs3 but they've copied way more of the shitty stuff that killed the game, if you're dropping rs3 just because it's dead player-wise that's one thing but if you're doing it for content i just wouldn't, osrs is going the way of rs3 at an ever increasing rate, even if osrs players are in insane denial about this

>>715429696 (OP)
It's so funny how /v/ always jumps onto the latest streamer hype train game. Happened with XIV as well a few years ago. Lets see how long they last once the early game is over.

>>715435391
post some examples for your claims that osrs is turning into rs3

>>715436332
grand exchange
every skill pushing toward having intentional afk-able methods that are lower exp/tick but decent overall
balancing pushing closer toward rs3's strict tiered progression system while original rs was completely schizophrenic with its balancing

>>715436494
>implying spamming your offer like a retard in west varrock bank was fun or good in any way
>implying it's fun to have skills with only absolute dogshit training methods and that having alternative methods for afking is a bad thing
>implying anyone in the world likes smithing, the pinnacle of the schizo balancing
rs3 is shit for many reasons, none of them are what you said. if you try to force "anything from rs3 = bad so let's do the opposite", you'll end up like andrew gower and his new retarded game
it's good that jagex is copying the good parts and only the good from rs3

>>715429696 (OP)
>groomerscape
No thank you.

>>715436881
those are exactly the parts that killed rs3, when everyone's afking, nobody's talking, nobody's doing group activities, it's something that slowly kills the game, this happened to rs3 years ago, but it's been happening to osrs for years at this point we're right in the middle of it
maybe you're completely blind to it now because there's large scale denial from a very vocal minority, but lots of people have already noticed this, the massive amounts of people that just run around in full graceful not talking to anyone playing soloscape, in a few years osrs will be in exactly the same place rs3 was 4 years ago, and you'll be saying exactly what i'm saying now

But I am

Ironman btw

>>715437335
you're an extreme retard if you really think this is what killed rs3, and not mtx, cosmetics and eoc.

>>715437335
Ironmeme is genuinely killing the game

>>715437335
RS3 was killed by EoC and MTX, anything else is just personal butthurt

>>715437390
>>715437497
those things damaged rs3's integrity, but they're not what made everyone stop socializing and thus killed what's actually good about rs
if you play rs3 right now, you'll see that the mtx/cosmeticsfags are literally the only ones that still socialize, they're the ones running bosses and playing the endgame content

i hate wow tourists in my game

>>715437343

but fagex keeps adding resource dropping bosses and minigames so helmies can easily get 99s and gp for their max house

maybe we could ban all the bots if 60% of the community these days werent ironmen who wont contribute to the social aspects of the mmo

>>715437607
holy FVUARK im kneeling

>>715437720
there's nothing to say if you summon a retard reason out of your ass, point to it and say that's the real problem. what the fuck do you want me to do, you fucking imbecile, a research paper with a census? I'm just glad that it's not retards like you running the game

why do ironmen make the normies seethe so much?

>>715437749
>the social aspects
You mean like talking and grouping? You don't play the game.

>>715437726
Liar, you wont do anything unless there's profit. Jew

>>715437813
>strawmans you
>heh see you're a retard blahblah poopoo *shits self*
interesting

>>715437746
he's right, but more so that ironmemes are a bad non-solution to a deeper problem jagex refuse to fix.
They still create fundamental fragmentation in the playerbase which has a long-term effect on content.
Runescape and Jagex's history is quite the interesting study on long-term effects from unresolved dysfunction.

>Liar, you wont do anything unless there's profit. Jew
Yes? That was the entire point of my post?

>>715437859
why would anyone group with a ironmam? say the helmie gets a shadow is he going to hop on a different account and split what its worth with his group?

Because I hate the gameplay

>>715437839
farming ruins any fun in ironmanning
just to make simplest of potions you need to do retarded amounts of farm runs which is not fun

>>715437940
And when your "millions" you get on sharks equates to super restores you'll piss and cry and moan, like all botscapers

>>715433386
An update broke all the bots for a few hours and the population dropped 25%. Way higher than it should be of course but its not all le bots like rs3 players pretend

>>715438032
Oh no I'll have to use the money I make to buy things I don't want to make, oh nooooo

>>715437983
Yeah, that's usually what happens. They pay the split with their main, or they play free for all, or they discuss it first

You know... THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME

I LOVE SLAYER BROOOOOOOOOOOOOS

>>715438032
no ill use those sharks to go kill vorkath and make some money to buy supplies to kill stuff to make more money
meanwhile the helmiecuck is on his 800th corrupted gauntlet while seething on reddit begging jagex for bad luck protection because every ironman just NEEDs a bowfa

I still love the game but I'm not giving money to game that replaced male and female with body types or uses DEI shit as a bludgeon to censor even the most inane things like the word "white".
Not to mention the game being ran by redditors as well as HLC retards on twitter that get everything new nerfed because it improved EHP gains by 1.
Or the constant price increases while letting bots run rampant to make bonds unaffordable.
Or the incessant power creep to prop up the perpetually dying PvP scene with unpolled updates.
the list goes on and on

>>715438102
That's one very needy anon very focused on trying to make friends on a 30 years old point and click game.

2011 runescape...home....

>mat k basically saw bots as integral to the game
>his future plans were turning it into roblox with custom player servers
Runescape is one of the most simultaneously resilient and mismanaged games in history, when it perpetually had so many things going against it constantly.

>>715438243
i would never pvp in a game that basically requires you to be anglered up to not get stacked out for 120+ damage

runescape players are even more mazed than wowfags, literally gambling the game.
>noooo i just need to do 1000 more kills of this boss or raid to get the bis loot!!!

>>715438573
I personally dont PK except for occasional LMS, im too shit at it and dont feel like learning. Ill never be godly and I dont feel like it would be fun to compete with the other raggers for scraps.

>>715436494
>every skill pushing toward having intentional afk-able methods that are lower exp/tick but decent overall
Allow me to play doubles advocate, I don't get why this is a bad thing. I've played RS3 for a while last year, fucking hated it, but I cannot for the life of me come to hate the idea of skipping massive chunks of absolutely shit skills like Agility or Thieving.
Never once have I played RS3(or 2) and thought "man I'm glad I have to sit here clicking ore rocks for the next hour!" or "man I sure do love running back and forth from the bank to power level summoning!"

>>715438873
>doubles advocate

>>715438829
nah, wow fags have the eternal crown for that faggotry.

Varlamore was when the game jumped the shark for me. Introduced way too much content for plebs to make the midgame ezscape while giving endgame players near nothing other than collo which is just another powercreep cape slot item.

>>715438873
i know people strawmanned me because they're apes, but since you're giving a real response i'll give a real response, i think there should just be progressively higher and higher exp rate real skilling methods, rather than pushing for low exp afk methods just to inflate player statistics
they sort of have this, but they're typically extremely high-cost methods exclusive to people buying bulk on the ge
i would rather them make real content you actually play, and preferrably content where you're interacting with other players

when you look at rs3 skills (and the direction osrs is going) every skill has essentially just become a variant of granite mining, long term afk heavy skilling, necromancy? granite mining, smithing rework? granite mining, divination? granite mining, archeology? granite mining
now look at how osrs has been reworking skills

>>715439191
>to make the midgame ezscape
the very first OC update to OSRS was a safe boss-rush mini game where you could AFK xp.
It was already over.

>>715439191
>powercreep
What the fuck does this mean? Do you only want sidegrades from now until the end of the game? Why even complain about end game content if that's the case?

>>715439191
>waaah they made fun content for 80% of people who actually play the game
Cry about it nigger

>>715439237
also, on reflection, i want to point out a skill i specifically like how they updated since you mentioned thieving >>715438873 i think thieving in rs3 with safecracking was a really interesting rework, they essentially took thieving and made it about planning your own route around the world to steal things, it's high gp and extremely high exp, think 99 thieving took me like 12 hours last hardcore i made on rs3, that's more the right direction for what i'd like to see
yes SOME content is the right direction, but lots isn't, that's my point

>>715439345
he means osrs is just following rs3, and speedrunning players to end-game.

>>715439410
Coloseum is harder content than Vorkath, I don't see how that's "speedrunning" to end-game

>>715433996
its over on rs3, you need smithing to make some of the best weapons and armor in the game

>>715439458
That's a different and separate issue concerning existing end-game players. Where the expectation of the next boss or raid being harder than the last one isn't mixing well with osrs's inherently limited combat system, which is why the new fights are increasingly just tile mini-games where actual fighting is maybe a quarter of the encounter.
This was also evident in DS2

>>715439709
>Random armour stats
Worst thing about RS3 for me, I do not like RNG slotted upgrades

mmos in the early internet were fun because there was actually unknown variables and you could genuinely discover things, not to mention the broken-telephone style of sharing secrets and having actual server communities. now the fun is optimized out of everything and if you're not playing in the most optimal way possible you're considered trolling. you can never go back

I wish rs3 didnt have such an ugly artstyle, I'd give it a go to check out pvm content

>>715439738
You have gone off on a complete tangent from any kind of upgrade to existing gear being "power creep", could you please stay on topic

>>715439095
muh correct spelling fags like you are diamond dozen.

>>715439237
I get you but I think the core problem in either the
>RS3 press interface and then go work out(literally what I did when training smithing for invention)
or the
>OSRS minigame windertodt/tempross where the presence of other players is only there as a scaling mechanism
or the
>classic just click rock/log until resource and then click rock/log again
Is that at its core its not fun and I really doubt it will ever be. I don't know what to do about it beyond the vaguest of LOL JUST MAKE IT FUN retarded comments.

>>715439759
That's invention which was both a blessing and a curse for itemization in RS3. Blessing because it made just about all loot worthwhile after other updates made them useless(rune items are worth relatively something since you need to disassemble them for components) and a curse because the augmentation gimmick a shit and I don't like it on top of everything else RS3's fucked up with its combat.

game stops being fun around level 75 in every skill and when bosses have 1/1000 drop rates

>>715439759
i dont know what youre talking about, im talking about trimmed masterwork

>>715439875
Thank god if you don't get the drop you can just buy it on the GE

Stackable clues are le bad because it devaules clue rewards. Dont look at the fact that 99% of clue scroll uniques are already actually worthless. Or the fact that RS3 not only had a removable stackable clue cap and encourages people to do as many clues as possible because its required for the best amulet in the game but still has chase rewards well over max cash if anything knocks down the price of the third age pickaxe I will literally get I’m gonna post a strony worded tweet to Mod Ash

>>715439789
>you can never go back
Not completely, but an MMO designed against "number go up" could be good. We've already seen a couple directly runescape-inspired ones around this idea, but they just went too far the other direction.

>>715439789
yea the 3rd party clients that literally highlight every single thing you're supposed to click are fucking cancer
>how do i finish this quest? oh there's a plugin that highlights every single thing and gives me an explanation of every step with a list of all the items i'll need before i even start
>how do i do these clue scrolls? oh there's a plugin that immediately gives me the answer to every step, gives me highlights of where to click for every puzzle box, etc.
>how do i do this boss fight? oh there's a plugin that highlights every single tile i'll need to click on
it's insane to me that the majority of the playerbase essentially turns themselves in to bots playing like this

>>715439976
stackable clues are bad only because it ruins the content of so many snowflake youtube series

>>715430597
Iv been playing games with my same friend group for over 20 years and we never talk about politics unless really stupid shit happening in that moment, which is very rare. I really don’t like how you youngsters need to be political (even when the conversation wasn’t). It must suck growing up these days. I’m in my late 30s and I still think politics talk is for old ass men.

>>715439976
We need more clue cosmetics so fucking bad, don't understand why they're so against adding any

>>715440060
nah it would just remove the autism of ironmeme series youtubers having to juggle 8 clues on the ground at once

>>715429696 (OP)
>sub
no

>>715439976
Jagex forgot what "Distraction and Diversion" meant, as well as inherent tradeoffs that make games interesting.
Clues were originally supposed to be either
1. you stop the slayer / monster killing and go do it
2. finish it and go do the clue (At the risk of rolling another one)
With stackables there's no trade-off, no diversion. Just more excessive "QoL" that paradoxically kills the spirit of the game.

>>715432004
>Game sucks and is nothing like what Runescape used to be
and that's a good thing, 2013 release was a barren desert of activities and devs would only cater to the late game faggots

clues are not even in the same realm as dailies/hourlies. But even if, casualizing them further would be bad regardless, but that's all modern OSRS players want. just more dopameme

correct, thats all this game should be

I think ironman is a good idea for the game, but most ironmen are the biggest obnoxious faggots around who feel the need to keep throwing out that they're ironmen for some reason, like they need validation all the time.

>>715440247
wow, having to decide between stopping what you're doing to do clues or finishing it and then doing clues. holy shit, anon, riveting gameplay. THAT'S why people play osrs. you should be hired as a game designer.

>>715440885
vegans

>>715440885
because we want to make sure you normie accounts know we're better than you

>>715440775
guzu is exactly the right kind of person for runescape, i'm surprised he didn't play it already
soda has fostered an audience that loves to see him get pissed off at things so they actively annoy him whenever he does anything and it's painful to watch, but he's the most interesting streamer to come to the game because the game has to grow on him rather than him immediately taking to it
like watching a bird learn to swim

We bitching about settled now? Ok. Region locked accounts or [insert shit here]locked meme accounts are fucking boring and boil down to "I will have the slowest early game possible and then this turns into a normal account later.

Did they change Recruitment Drive to account for this shite?

>>715441172
they did actually, the knight now ask "what do you identify as" if you pick female or other you get to skip that part like before.

>>715441172
>>715441237
no they changed so he says no BLADE can harm him and you have a choice between sword axe or hammer to fight him

>>715440885
It's mostly to explain why we don't have gear that reflects skill we don't have, like how mains run around in max melee setup but have never actually done nex, TOB, tormented demons, or the inferno since they just pay for a venezuelan to run it. I swear mains are so afraid of actually playing the game.

ironmanbtw

>>715441172
they did in fact change recruitment drive because of this
it was always kinda weird that you had to go hit up the makeover mage to finish that quest if you didn't roll female, frankly

kek, if they removed bonds it would get rid of a lot of bots

Botting is fun.

>>715441334
When you consider that the original quest released about a year after Return of the King came out it really isn’t that weird.
Most of the quests are just references to other stuff.
They shouldn’t have changed it.

>>715441302
ultimately ironman is a tradeoff
it forces you to engage with all the content in the game, which is good
however it means you are locked in to every grind you decide to do because you cannot decide "you know what fuck this, i've done 300kc, i'm fucking done with this boss" and go buy the item for like 5mil or less
you will kill bosses potentially thousands of times if you get unlucky enough to not get the drop and there's absolutely nothing you can do about that

It’s too easy to cheat in this game. Iv made dozens of private scripts to just max out skills for lulz.

One day I logged into my main account which is maxed out and I got like a little more than 500m full pve sets…I’m like what is the point of this anymore?

My accounts are just chilling now, probably will never return to runescape unless they actually release the client support mod tools so players can host their own versions of the game (along with modded out types of games, i long for a slower dungeon delving system that’s not dungneering

Old School Runescape is not Old School Runescape anymore. It started with Zeah, and Varlamore was the last nail in the coffin for me.

>>715429696 (OP)

varlamore is good content, zeah was not really

>>715446045
I dunno, I tried to have fun with it. I did the Hunter stuff, took a few shots at the Colosseum, but the whole area just feels like it doesn't belong in the game at all. Every time I have to go there for something, I feel like I'm playing an entirely different game. At least with Zeah, it still felt fairly Runescape-ish.

>>715445836
it stopped being runescape in the very first update

>>715446132

>>715445719
They're borderline nonexistent, really. The way the game is built, running into another player is, more often than not, a bad thing. If they're not in the wildy trying to kill you, then they're likely competing with you for mobs or resources. The only exceptions are raids and some types of mindless skilling like fishing and woodcutting.
And even in those circumstances, running into another player only inherently gives you somebody to chat with. Whoop-de-fuckin'-doo.

People pay money for this. Consistently. Month after month. Boggles the mind.

>>715446745
>he still fucked up by leveling his HP before doing Wintertodt
again, this isn't the case anymore. you don't take hp damage anymore, you take a hit on your warmth meter, which regenerates equally and heals equally for everyone. so you take exactly the same setup no matter any of your levels.

Yes black indigenous people of color that's what I fucking said moron. The original Runescape is single player point and click adventure game masquerading as an MMO with a lighthearted tone deeply rooted in European fairy tales. Both "what if le Romans?" and "what if le Aztecs?" are already extremely lazy ideas, combining them is even stupider, and putting this bloated abomination that I can only imagine was the aborted concept for some retarded fag's worst TTRPG campaign ever in a game as brimming with charming stories and lands as runescape was the death knell for the possibility of any future content being good.

>>715448685
Oh yeah and the one area of middle eastern fairy tales. Doesn't change my point though, not a single one of the derivative simpleton quests in Varlamore even comes close to being as entertaining as the beginner desert quest (The Feud).

i am just gonna start playing retail wow
i've never played wow before so i am excited to hate it and "not get why people like it so much" 20 years after relevancy
but also i am just hoping for community, runescape's community is bots and whatever discord clique you're in the clan chat with rather than an organic community and the entire game feels singleplayer with shit like the GE and ironman reinforcing that. it's basically a dead chatroom with a carpal tunnel simulator on the side.

>>715442103
Oh yeah? Did they remove the pronouns, body types instead of male/female and all the LGBT shit they've already put in the game?

>>715429696 (OP)
I've said this on here before, but OSRS is the most soulless shit I've ever seen. Back in the day you played the game to have fun and interact with people. I have a buddy who will stream it for me occasionally and he's just constantly switching worlds so he can avoid people and tick manipulate his skills in half the time it would have taken me as a kid. Bosses now just seem to revolve around it too. Oops, you didn't flick the right prayer in 0.2 seconds so now that boss just one shot you lol teehee get fucked scrub learn to dance. Half of what made the grind fun was talking to people but now you just log on and minmax the shit out of it alone like it's an office job. No thanks. It was a product of its time... that time has long since passed. RS3 is even worse dogshit for different reasons.

>>715449084
It was absolute trash and just as much of a non-mmo non-game as RS without the saving grace of quests or PKing but some runescapers liked it because they're legitimately mentally ill. Also what about that RS survival game they released? I remember seeing it and immediately disregarding it because
>Runescape game
>art style from dying version of RuneScape that no one likes
>new location with no landmarks that noone cares about
Did they just reskin some early access junk and try to sell it as an RS game?

>>715449419
if what you don't like about runescape is that it feels like a single player game, that's only going to be worse in retail WoW
the game feels utterly abandoned outside of cities, you might run into a small handful of people in the leveling zones across your entire journey to max level
this is because there's no reason to do anything aside from the current patch content due to how progression in the game works (the only relevant progression is gear and the latest patch has the best gear and you can just skip straight to it so it invalidates the entire rest of the game)

and also because nobody bothers leveling with quests anymore, everyone just spams dungeons if they're leveling a new character
also most of the game is genuinely trivial and much too easy due to multiple stat squishes that have fucked up the entire stat curve of the entire game

>>715449084
andrew lost the plot really hard.
I'm guessing he originally set out to make something closer to the original pen & paper adventure fantasy games he used to make as a kid, hence the diorama aesthetic. But I don't think he quite knew how to give it substance, so he just fell back on a weird runescape fan-fiction game, but it couldn't just be another runescape so he had to be as different as possible with a lot of bad decisions

>>715449419
Oh boy, you get to experience the sheer autism of having a 2nd job as a guild member

>>715449308
You just changed your point though.
You started off by saying that Varlamore was bad due to it's inability to fit into the game's setting, which as you said was rooted in European fairy tales. That's not a complaint of it being boring, that's a complaint about it not matching the setting, which was wrong because from the inception they had an entire kingdom based on Arabic and later egyptian culture.
Now instead of it being about fitting the European theme, it's about how the quests are boring. Why the change?

>>715449718
yeah i figured since mmos arena dead genre but at least, having never played wow, it'll be a new experience for the month before i quit out of boredom. i've played RS on and off since 2004 so a lot of it is old hat at this point.

Fun.
Compared to either give up mods and play on a strictly regulated platform or lose everything to gold farmers, this was rhe best outcome.

>>715449857
Al kharid fits into the game though, it's also a genericized funny fairy tale bend on a real place (the middle east). Varlamore is full of Disney's marvels the avengers critical role quippy writing and is a lazy high fantasy setting that doesn't match the tone of the rest of the game. I see what's happening here. You're getting too caught up in the "European" generalization I made in my comment because you're a tranny and you hysterically imagined the reason I don't like Varlamore is because they're brown, not because the tone and setting doesn't fit with classic RuneScape at all.

>>715450090
that's gonna be the issue, huh. i had thought about just playing turtle or something but my concern there is that everyone says i'd end up behind and mmo private servers always feel like they're geared towards people who have played the game for a decade
i had hoped retail would be different but maybe i'll take your advice and try the anniversary server.
this is what i get for trying to find social games to meet new people instead of just returning to my comfort grindan game

Runescape was bad when I was 13 and it is bad now absolutely braindead clicker game.

I'm still banned for telling someone to go be gay somewhere else. It's still too gay.

Been getting the urge to resub the last couple days. I won’t, I’ll resist. This game makes me neglect the attention of my cats. It gives me zero xp anxiety. It turns me into someone I hate. I can play any other game, but I must not resub to osrs. I will not resub to osrs

No, I don't give a shit that you don't like Varlamore because they're niggers anon. I care about you changing your reasoning. Jumping from

Sure, but they should contain it to only parts of the map, a lot of players don't enjoy the pvp aspect of OSRS after all. Maybe theme the area after a place with no laws, somewhere wild, and name it as such. Something like... Wilderness.
I do think it'd be neat to see a new wilderness zone

https://runescape.wiki/w/DarkScape
>DarkScape was a variant of RuneScape, announced on 16 September 2015. It was a fork of the main RuneScape code as of late May 2015,[1] featuring an open PvP environment without "safe zones". Furthermore, only Legacy Mode combat was available; everyone started at combat level 3; and progress in RuneScape did not affect DarkScape in any way.
it was jolly good fun

>>715453727

Remember that time they teased that they were drawing up ideas for a sci-fi flavoured runescape called mechscape only to be never mentioned again.

>>715453824
apparently it was releasable too, which hurts more.
Atleast jagex dodged a bullet of being split between two different games :)

>>715453727
tf just buy it for 2m gp nowadays

1. Make an invasion mode where it makes you some type of, revanant based on your current stats.
2.You are sent to kill people currently on quests.
>dying on a quest as a none-revanant, results in unable to attempt the quest for 24 hours.
3.Make slayer pvp based with this as well somehow.
4.make server sizes 8000 people.

>>715453751
Thousands of hours of grind is the exact point of osrs though. Why do (You) play this game? To swipe for BiS gear and roll for shitty digital pets I imagine?
I feel like anyone who hates irons is just projecting the lack of free time they don’t have required to play an iron. Swipe for your torva, that’s ok, just don’t pretend like your account has any worth at that point

Becuase Old School turned into the same shit RS3 is minus EoC.
The GE and Bonds killed the game so hard that the only way to get any enjoyment is to play a non-MMO version of the game with Ironman.

I feel happy for new players who don't know just how shit the game is yet and are playing it for the first time. It must feel like a breath of fresh air to WoWdrones.

>>715454174
Yeah iron accounts are pretty cool and tangible evidence of dedication and willpower unlike main accounts which 90% swipe for all their gear

You know a main account also doesn't have to use the GE right?

you can still do raids and other stuff with others though?

>>715454935
Helmies can also do raids with others. Only GWD and Corp are solo only.

>>715454859
I’ve played pretty much every mmo solo. What’s the difference? I play MMOs so I can share a world and see other plays around me, talk with them, and share experiences. I get all that with an iron. I don’t really understand this sentiment that being an MMO requires trading. Is it just a meme for mains to cope? Playing an iron is extremely rewarding

ironman largely was a reaction to the GE trivializing the game.

It's neither tho. There are almost zero social incentives in Runescape, and ironically most of the extent ones are in the absolute worst forms of AFK leveling so that most people are not even paying attention anyways. It's functionally no better than an AIM chatroom, which was fine before the game was populated exclusively by emotionally stunted adult men.

>>715460583
why do retards act like you need 99s in order to do the content in runescape? base 70s are literally all you need to do every single quest in the game, base 85s get you access to 98% of stuff and thats not much of a grind with modern ezscape

getting a quest cape at combat 85 was pretty fun, i wish dream mentor didn't have the arbitrary requirement so minimum level quest capes could be a thing.

>base 85s get you access to 98% of stuff and thats not much of a grind

How broken are you as a human being to think 300 hours of your life at a MINIMUM, which includes buying gold in addition to your subscription after having spent the time reading strats to soullessly click click click level at max efficiency, is something that isn't that bad to a normal person?

>all these streamers playing ironman
is normalmode gonna get phased out to irrelevancy with time bros?

>>715461542
better they play ironmeme than fuck up the economy with le monkey nuts like soicritical

eventually it will become 2x exp for people who just want to skip to end-game, and then in another decade, jagex will let you buy max character tokens

If you had an actual argument you wouldn't need to make half your post up, sheesh

>>715462029
but enough about world of warcraft

>>715463080
jagex have always little brothered blizzard pretty hard, so yeah, they're gonna rip off max character tokens sooner or later

>>715461542
normalmode is already irrelevant and is the designed paypiggy mode
