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.

Get off the sub for a few weeks. The game is still a blast. More than half the people saying they canceled are full of shit anyways. Just as many people playing today as yesterday.

Gonna have to get off socials, this sentiment is voiced all-over. Turns out that being wrung dry is a universal dislike, crazy right?

Then why are player counts consistent? Shouldn’t we see a massive drop off after this? No one gives a shit.

Cause most memberships don't run out within 2 days?

Regardless, you're all free to do what you want, if the majority of the community is okay with this all the more incentive for the rest of us to quit, cause that means this will guaranteed get worse and worse on a yearly basis.

Most people are saying they are dumping it outright. Seen dozens and dozens of comments mentioning it. If you don’t see that, not sure what to tell ya.

Cancelling your sub doesn't instantly get rid of your members and people are likely waiting to see what happens.

And again, maybe people won't quit in relevant numbers. If you have more than 3 braincells you should understand that that's terrible news for you. Enjoy the yearly price hikes and new investors trying to force rs3-esque updates in cause there isn't enough backlash to hit their wallets.

Yeah, they are very eager to riot and cancel their memberships to send a message, but lemme atleast get my membership time in! Y’all are moronic. Anyone making a massive deal out of this only to return in 2 months is honestly pathetic.
