That's a fair point Ridaku but that's still no excuse as to why no one can roleplay in game, even with splitting up dialogue. RP was never meant to be that many lines, if you're writing that much head to the forums or write a book :P RP in game was pretty simple and didn't usually require more than a couple lines.

YEAH WELL I kind of wore similar shoes to you, like, seven or more years ago. If RiDaku's guide still includes any mention of "themeplay", that was the term used for what you want back in the day, roughly speaking.

Which is to say...

If everyone would've just got over themselves and not taken everything so seriously, instead rolling with the silly ludo-narrative dissonance that springs up from always being in-character...would've been pretty fun. There's both a lot of lulz and epic moments to be had from engaging like that. As a matter of fact, let's just say that I was once in a clan that was very very committed to that kind of play style... :)

But I feel like you're writing off our grievances a bit too quickly. Some of us are probably perma-salty at Jagex for never throwing us any real bones beyond all those fancy cosmetics and animations which were made for MTX rather than a loyal subset of the community. They still, even now, pale in comparison to the likes of other MMOs. Like, WoW has complete in game profiles. We have one line for examine text.

So we're sure as Zamorak not moving off of this forum, especially if it doesn't make sense to be here anymore! We will hold this forum captive! Hahahaa!!!



(We should talk in game sometime though.) Save yourself.

Thanks for your reply Faey, if you want my honest take on why Jagex didn't keep supporting world 42, at the time they did and were considering it the community was completely awful and immature at that time (not everyone of course) therefore Jagex didn't see a future in supporting the server or roleplay. So basically, the 42 community ruined that for themselves :(

Though with themeplay I do think good and meaningful RP can still happen in the game world of RuneScape. Sitting around a campfire and having some pints of ale are a good way to lightly RP and hang out with friends.

If you think that's the case, and it may well be, then the old guard definitely has its self to blame and I would take responsibility for it where ever I am to blame. Granted, back then most of us were also kids. Maybe on the cusp of 18 or 19, sure, but that's still definitely kid years to me in retrospect. 17 year old me deserves a swift kick in the pants from current me. Him and I have very little in common now.

Although, I was mostly just reactionary to the toxicity and the ridiculous way you were expected to RP in this game. I mean this one time I had an OOC agreement with the then current steward of the Wizards' Tower scene that I could have a try with it, then later I walk into a scene by accident and see the same person handing it off IC'ly to someone else. I know it was purely to mess with me. You know who you are, but it's okay -- I've personally forgiven just about everyone here for their past antics and I hope the courtesy could be extended to me as well if we ever cross paths again in the future. Leave the kid shit in the kid years, yeah?

Maybe also leave the walls of text to a game that DOES have unlimited message length -- even if it'd be so nice if RS had that too.

I'll stop myself before I get too far ahead. This forum and all of its three or four users can expect a 10 year retrospect post from me in February of next year. Save yourself.

@Faey I agree most of us were just kids at that turbulent time, a lot of us just beginning high school or in the late years of it, some going to uni.

And I didn't want to dismiss the idea of breaking the chat limit, RS should definitely look into removing the limit in chat, it is pretty ancient :|

And yes 42 had plenty of those petty situations but sadly that's not even the worst of it LOL

Changed my mind. After attaining the correct way to like the blue plume on helmets, I won't be needing a community chat for roleplaying.

I had wondered how to beat the wizards boots. And it became a chainbody with my blue sleeves exposed, blue dragonhide spiky vambraces, and a blue dragonhide shield, to my blue cape and black full helmet. I wear black boots.

Whilst playing OSRS I learned to play without magic(k) accumulation, so quit at 99 Thieving. Restituting getting 99 Ranged on RS3 now.
