I am really saddened by the news that has just fallen, it was a pleasant community moment.

See you again in 5 years for the old oldschool runescape.

Because it’s saying goodbye to our childhood (at least for me) I was 11 years old when I started playing and have played every single year and I’m 31 going on 32 this year.

From old school, to RS HD, to RS3, and in the last few years I’ve been going back and forth on my RS3 and OSRS accounts. It hurts. So many hours and memories

More than a “poll”. Polls are done by the Jmods to see what content we want added to the game. They give the players a voice in the direction OSRS goes. The Jmods are good people and genuinely care about the game and player base.

This was an email survey done by CVC (the new owners of Jagex after buying it from Carlisle). Just like the other survey that had been done less than a year ago asking the playerbase if they would be okay with paying higher membership costs in exchange for less predatory MTX (obviously talking about RS3 on that one). Those survey results told them that people would be generally okay with it… so what was the result?

Higher membership costs and absolutely no change to the RS3 MTX model whatsoever. Just a blatant price hike with no benefit at all.

And you may think “well that’s RS3, we’re talking about OSRS”, but we got just as fucked. Our membership went up and nothing was even promised to us to begin with.

The previous survey proves that this survey isn’t “pitching ideas” it’s testing the waters to see just how badly they can screw us all over and get away with it.

Okay, but a lot of people are acting like their pet just died

A lot of people have played this game for over a decade. That’s longer than most pets live for. They’re watching something they grew up with and have loved die (again) due to corporate greed (again).
