As for what you could do as a Forum Mod, I would suggest somehow including the OSRS RP community in our assortment of sticky threads at the top of page one of the forum. This could mean we would add one more to the list of sticky threads that would help prospective new roleplayers into the OSRS community in particular, or simply asking the two holders of the in-game roleplaying threads to add/improve OSRS content onto theirs.


I think that having an RS3 guide and an OSRS guide would be a fantastic idea. That thread could also serve as the place for people to go and post when they're looking for groups (paired with a theme change, of OSRS/RS3 roleplay threads having that in the title) would help a lot with directing newcomers to the forums. For example, The Alliance would instead become (OSRS) The Alliance or The Alliance (OSRS) , whereas ï¦ï Asgarnia ï¦ï would become (RS3) ï¦ï Asgarnia ï¦ï or ï¦ï Asgarnia ï¦ï (RS3) .

To match this, the guide threads would go from In-Game RolePlay Guide & Help to RS3 RolePlay Guide & Help or RS3 In-Game Roleplay Guide , A Quick Guide to In-Game RP would become A Quick Guide to RS3 RP or something of the sorts. Clearly labeling which is for which version of the game, and making everything a lot more transparent for people who just use the Search Threads function.

Just wanted to make a quick comment to let people know that the sticky I host is not for RS3 only but purely about in-game roleplay. The data on it might be incorrect but that might be because the OSRS community is still 'fresh' and trying to find out what they want as a community. Right now, OSRS RP has a lot, if not all, of overlap as for the way that roleplay is hosted, performed and kept fun and fair for everyone.

Last time I was trying to help Jane Sable get her OSRS community off the ground but I haven't seem this person for a long time. If someone new could fill her space on the sticky I host, that be a great start for me to help you guys get the word out better. The bits are there and it was always my goal to make the sticky I host to be as clear and up te date as possible. If there is some W42/RS3 related info that can do with removal and people wish to present some more OSRS/W342 stuff there instead because thats whats hotter than RS3 now, totally up for it!

I'm also perfectly fine with getting an OSRS sticky in case the RP is fundamentally different in-game on OSRS (I don't if it is or not) but do want to warn that since not everyone is seemingly on the same lage as to how W342 should be handled (mainly old RS3 roleplayers trying their hands at OSRS) this option is probably the option most prone to drama. I'm all for it but I do hope the OSRS people will not simply let some very vocal ex W42 folk set the standard for them if they think things should be done differently (or completely the same as before) when it comes to in-game RP on OSRS.

I am bad and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be than me.

Thank you all for the constructive (and informative to me) discussion!

When CM Nick is around tomorrow (Sunday), I'm going to let him know (point him to this thread).
