Hey,

Right now old school has 125k people playing.
Rs3 has 25k people playing.

What will future hold for rs 3,it is sad to see only so few people playing while old school shows that there is potential.
Its not to late to safe rs 3,all that is needed is undo the combat update. Bring back fun things like castle wars and such. But then again,why would they when there is already old school.

I sometimes feel robbed of my time by jagex,the time spend on playing rs. Old school is the game rs3 should have been. And rs3 should have been something new.

In 5 years it will be 10k people playing,maybe even less. I wonder what the bottom line is,where it is no longer sensible to keep running the game.

I am so sad,i miss runescape and all the fun things. Keep logging in for old times sake but everytime it makes me more sad about how this beautifull game turned into something so bad. Old school is way to go but I just want chill a bit with my max account lol,i cant do it all over again :(

The game is completely death,forums,ingame,ge,everywhere.
If it was not for old friends still playing and logging in there would be no reason for me to long in at all.

Keep hoping jagex will see the light and changes rs3,but with every year that passes the hope gets smaller. They don't even care I think,happily milking the last remaining players for their mtx moneys.

It is a shame :(

You're one of those RS3 demoralizers. I'm not on board with that negative logic.

RS(3) IS the MAIN edition of the game.
IF OSRS players want change, they need to voice it.

There's NO good reason RS3 and OSRS can't be re-merged.
Legacy combat mode exists.
All that would be needed is "OS Models" be added, and those textures applied to models if in Legacy mode.

IF RS(3) is done away with EVER, I'm quitting for sure. And JAGeX can "F" off.
I've invested 15+ years and money into my game, and I'm not jumping on some half-wit "DarkScape", "Old School", or otherwise crap re-iteration of the main game.

RS(3) IS the definitive.
OSRS isn't even 2007-scape. It's a mutant of something that once was.
It's pathetic, and while I don't dislike anybody for playing it for nostalgia, it's absolute garbage and I'm done with the game. Once everyone quits because RS3 was "tossed" or anything close to that, the OSRS players will do the same, because nobody will move to OSRS, nor accept it as "main-game". Nor should they.

The whole dividing the RS community was a stupid thing to do.
The old JAGeX employees just wanted to continue their pet project (OSRS) because they didn't want to work on RS3. Some internal BS.

Whatever you want to call it, the low player count is because of lack of advertising, and poor site involvement on their own websites. A company spreading resources too far and wide rather than focused. As for content, it doesn't need more crap added, it needs REFINED. Some older stuff needs re-modelled, re-scaled, and re-hashed (such as minigames, especially things like Castle Wars) so there's something called "Replayability" - and the game should not take 10 years just to max. No new players are going to want to invest that much time into a game just to be told "okay, now to unlock all content, you have to max to 120 everything and keep up with this completionshits thing"...

It's always been a stupid moving goal line- and no endgame.
You need an endgame AND replayability.

125k players vs 25k players. If it wasn't for old players the difference would be even bigger.
There is no argument to be made.

But you are right,i shouldnt vent my annoyance about rs3 on this forum,it is kinda pointless and there is stil people who do enjoy rs 3.


You don't need an endgame,thats the perspective from one type of player,the monsterhunter/skiller working towards a goal. (I used to be a skiller myself)
But there is a large group of players who do not need an endgame. What is the endgame for pvp pures and pkers, castle wars players. People who play for the social experience mostly. What is their endgame?
They don't have an endgame,they don't need an endgame either because the game itself is fun enough for them already.

This endgame idea and philosophy behind it,its complete nonsense. It is not needed at all but game makers don't recognize this. Now wow also come with classic wow,they realized that they have pushed the endgame mechanic to far. Its a bad way of design,its the wrong path that's why I am so fierce about it.

there is no future for rs3, Jagex has run it to the ground

I very much doubt new players are coming in, and the ones who stick around are just being fed comp requirements/mtx exp promos to keep them sated and silent about the shitty state the game is in

I was ready and willing to accept your argument until I read this

I do hope you're kidding

if RS3 is truly the 'main' game, why does it have 1/4th the player base?

OSRS had a big upsurge because of mobile

Yeah 30-40K more players playing at one time, but that doesn't change this fact:
RS3 website's counter (right now): 154,371
OSRS's website's counter (right now): 123,667
since RS3's counter includes OSRS's players, RS3 has 30704 players

let's disclude the 30K or so new mobile users, that drops OSRS to about 90K, meaning even before the mobile update we still had 3x as many people playing, and don't tell me you actually believe that 2/3 or more of those accounts are bots because that's just deluding yourself

Of course this is a non combat skill, fishing. Many of the people, I found, at the Barbarian fishing hole were mobile. Also, OSRS has had more interesting updates recently as well. Making Friends with My Arm. I have to admit the game tends to be cleaner as well. If RS3 would stop with the dumb crap, POF, it might have more people. I dread what they plan to do with Prif on OSRS. Believe Prif was one of the updates that destroyed RS3. Prif better not be just infested with ways to get fast experience from 99 to 200mil. That was all Prif was for RS3.
