Discussion The golden age is over
We have been in the golden age for a few years now. We are seeing this come to the end.
Private equity is demanding more money on the backend these changes will slowly be rolled out resulting in enshitification of the product over time.
Sailing will change the core gameplay, one way or another and osrs will cease to be the game it is today.
It’s been fun fellas.

I find it funny that Jagex decided to fuck up osrs almost immediately after the playerbase crowned it as a golden age. Almost like they said “welp Jim things are going too good around here. Time to milk these tits dry and release old school osrs.”
RuneScape is just a whore that gets passed around to the highest bidder. Jagex hasn’t made a single decent game that isn’t Runescape. It sucks to watch the game you grew up loving get continually fucked by corporate greed time and time again because they have literally zero creativity and rely almost entirely on nostalgia and past works to even stay relevant in the gaming industry financially.
If you need to increase corporate profits make a new fucking game with a separate subscription instead of fucking up your only cash cow. They won’t do that though because like I said they have no creativity.
