I think it was mistake to inform Jagex of a battle pass which should be removed and so the Yak-Track also. Keeping it simple to just membership in making revenue is wholesome aside from making money from the merch shop and the deadman mode tournament. I understand RS3 and Old School RuneScape conflict but I think that in hopes of it in becoming one game with no dead content would spark a new life in the game.

I think some cosmetics can be used for armor like the undead slayer outfit which can be armor for a level of slayer and defence. Which some cosmetics can be used after completing quests and mini quests and diaries or acquiring levels to unlock and can be used for fashion or armor.

No more monetization and trying to sell your game in anyway for pay-to-win. You don't buy the same game someone else buys completed for an advantage because that ruins competition and therefore cheating. Everyone should have an equal standing ground when it comes to competing or playing and enjoying a game.

Didn't you already make this thread?

Why repeat the obvious and pretend both OSRS and RS3 are not pay to win when Bond MTX can buy almost every in game items and max a skill like Herblore within hours in both games? It won't fool anybody when everybody can just look at the RS3 and OSRS Jagex Launcher login screens and know PEGI forced Jagex to reveal they have pay to win MTX we call Bonds.

RS3 and OSRS are simply two games with very different economies, objectives and communities. OSRS's economy is totally crumbled and they are artificially inflating selected items to make certain group of players happy while making skillers trash. This can't happen to RS3.

"I understand RS3 and Old School RuneScape conflict..."


I don't see any conflicts from the RS3 side. RS3 players have always been engaged in a game of the past, the present and the future. The existence of OSRS or not really don't bother me, and I doubt if many RS3 players care about OSRS. On the contrary, it is always the OSRS players worrying about their existence and lack of ways to attract players of the present and future generation. They may be desperate for RS3 players to prolong the agony of OSRS. However, it absolutely won't work as it is OSRS, the legacy game of the past won't live long into the future even with RS3 players in their game. No new players and garbage content not made for the future, on top of trash profit margin willl absolutely kill Jagex in no time.

@Zombie: RS3 and OSRS are two different games now. Each with over a decade of updates since EOC and the creation of OSRS.

If I had to go back to RS as it was pre-EOC ~shudder~ no thanks!

I played it back in the day, when this game was RS2, but I like many of the updates and skills we've had since. We've had EOC for over a decade now, and rolling back over a decade of updates and new quests and new skills that I've put time into, that would just be too frustrating to me as a player.

If that happened I'd just add RS to the pile of "games I used to play but don't any more" and go play something else.

And I'm sure there are OSRS players who similarly don't want rollbacks or a ton of changes to the decade of updates they've had. Who don't want a significant portion of that decade of playing just thrown away.

Your idea would drive away more players than it would bring back. The only reason I can see for suggesting that we merge the games (which would mean tossing out a significant part of the last decade's worth of updates & skills & quests & new areas & other stuff players of both games have put time into) is because you hate both games and want to kill both of them off.

I won't play an over a decade old pre-EOC game either, especially when I have to grind all my levels and other progression back for Guthix-knows-how-many-more-years.

Don't worry though, as OP's suggestion is just a pipedream. RS3 and OSRS are incredibly different technologically. Even ***IF*** Jagex was so stupid to waste their time to put the 2 games into one, we wouldn't see the "new" game in another 10 years.

I wasn't worried Dilbert. I was trying to explain to the OP why it's such a crazy, ridiculous idea that it could only come from someone who hates both versions of the game.

The player rage that would ensue as any new skills that were deemed incompatible were removed... and there'd be a similar level of rage from OSRS players as they'd also lose many of their updates in any merger...

It'd make the original furor about EoC - the rage that led to the creation of OSRS - look like a mild disagreement.

Jagex are not going to do anything this insane. Cranky old woman

But Dilbert says they will:

If you are aware of big news from Reuters earlier, you should know they are "shifting" RS3 and OSRS into one new game

lol

Actually, Jagex is far likelier to split OSRS into multiple games following the history of 2013. Of course, if OSRS players prefer to come to RS3 instead of the new games, they are welcome but Jagex won't force them to combine with RS3.
