Are these popular?

I just glanced at my rankings, and my minigame rankings are still fairly high. Did I really play minigames that much (CW excluded, I know I played that a lot), or has the minigame community all but died off?

Just curious :P

Maybe the newer minigames have overtaken the old ones and made them obsolete, I don't know. For reference, I haven't touched RS3 since a couple months after EoC was released (I gave it a try, I swear).

A simple yes/no will suffice, but feel free to go into more detail if you want.

Thanks!

minigames in both games are pretty much dead

OSRS still has a couple, like Castle Wars and Pest Control, but on RS3 you won't be playing anything unless it's on spotlight @Chee__RS

what is this spotlight?


The Minigame Spotlight system makes it all the more rewarding to play your favourite minigames – and to try out new ones!

Earn thalers – the Spotlight system's currency – by playing any of 14 minigames:

Pest Control
Soul Wars
Fist of Guthix
Barbarian Assault
Conquest
Fishing Trawler
Great Orb Project
Flash Powder Factory
Castle Wars
Stealing Creation
Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza
Heist
Mobilising Armies
Trouble Brewing
Then, spend them on selected rewards from any of the games included in the system, as well as limited runs of selected Treasure Hunter items.

Every three days, a minigame will be spotlighted, yielding thalers five times faster than it would normally.

So, let me guess what happens with that system you just elaborated on (thanks btw)

People wait for a minigame that already has good rewards to be highlighted (pest control or FOG for example) then play that. So I'm guessing it does nothing to "revitalize" dead content like trouble brewing?

5x seems really overboard to me, like if you were after that specific currency, why would you do anything else?

yes it does exactly that

also, COINCIDENTALLY Castle Wars has the highest weighting when it comes to being put on spotlight, JUST A COINCIDENCE, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRIM REQUIREMENT OR ANYTHING, NO REASON WHY THEY WOULD DO THAT @Chee__RS

It might help for comprehending, that the spotlit rate is the intended one, while the 'regular' one is heavily nerfed and fairly unfeasible to actually gain rewards.

It is good enough to see most minigames running on spotlight though - it's still hard for some, but at least TB is playable - well: you'll see most players afking though.

Not higher than soul wars, which sole comp requirement is entering it once. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
