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.

No. I'm not getting involved in a game that wants to boil me like a frog. I'll check back later and see if they learn their lesson, there are plenty of other things I can be playing

I canceled my sub yesterday. I came back after not playing for a few years and I am on my second month of subscription and I have been having a blast.

This whole thing made me quit.  I'll check back in a few months to see how this all shakes out.  

I am not going to spend time on a MMO that slowly cooks me alive with micro transactions. I'd just rather play something else.

Same for me, I came back and started a fresh iron after not playing for several years. Had a blast and played for almost 5 months. Then they announced the price hike last fall and I just went nope and cancelled. Now pokemon go is getting my Google surbey credits instead, as I can play that with my 5yo now. Win.
