nah dude, they need to nuke this version of 'osrs' and start over


They can actually have 3 or more versions of "osrs" like Lineage and WoW Classic.

Lineage has heaps of Lineage classic clones. WoW Classic doesn't have as many yet, but they still have TBC Classic or soon to be WotLK Classic, vanilla WoW Classic and rebooted Classic.

pkeres arent playing anymore cause pvp is starting to suck ass .

combo foods , op weapons mixed witch plug in scripts that allow u to eat and pray switch so quick is ruining pvp.

PvP is shrinking weekly and is now just some rev cave pkers and a few hundred PvP world regulars. The economy also shows signs that the player base is dwindling more generally. Trading volume on items is falling steadily and volatility is increasing. The most interesting thing about looking at market data from the GE is trends on trading volume on items like t bows shows real player data and not bots. Bots don't often buy high level items but the number of osrs players will be inflated by them. Looking at trends on high value items (being a long time flipper myself) there is a strong trend showing a marked decrease in the number of real players over the last few years.

Need new skills


No thanks. I wouldnt train a skill unless it was related to combat. RS3 has pleanty of new skills. OSRS is just here because the RS3 combat system is so atrocious, nobody really cares about anything but bossing and slaying its rs3 without the eoc

PVP is based on money, when i was in a warring clan for 5 minutes we did f2p wars becuase we didnt want to spent 70$ a week to get 50m to buy gear thats not even the best and still lose every P2P war. PVP is for the pay2win

Archaeology is far more on lore, exploration and questing than specifically on combat, skilling or minigames. Invention is definitely aimed at giving skillers more meanings and benefits to train the skill. I don't think OSRS has anything close to the stories and lore in RS3 to make a skill like Archaeology as impactful, but it should still be quite clear players don't just train a skill because of combat. If some skill is fun and entertaining, then players will engage in it. It doesn't have to be combat related.

EOC is just a part of the combat system, not the entirety. If the RS3 combat system is so "atrocious" then why is OSRS transitioning its raids to RS3's Elite Dungeon system? Why is OSRS putting RS3's Demon Flash Mobs in their Wildy? Why is OSRS breaking down old gear and use the components to create and upgrade new gear ala the RS3 invention style? The list goes on and on... Four legs good, two legs bad better! :D

Last but not least, Revolution is definitely the head and shoulder better version of Legacy combat, with exactly the same ease of 1 click attack but far better keybind instead of point and click mechanics that even RUNELITE IS COPYING.

Now that the hype of GIM is fading quick despite of OSRS's big spending on advertisement, and all the actual content announced on OSRS Summer Summit is delayed to 2022. It is interesting to see if OSRS can hold up.

Meanwhile Jagex is pushing Jagex Partners and seemingly have big plans to globalize their partnership label and new games they are picking up.

I have a strong feeling we are going to hear interesting news from Jagex, and more so on OSRS early in 2022. :)


Reality Check:

GIM is dying, and it is being repurposed in 2 weeks to have GIM grouping with people outside their group.

OSRS seems to be quite desperate to be offering the RAFFLE gambling with free membership prizes to hope to retain players.

We know the price hike already. It is $12.5, no longer $11 a month now.

Still, OSRS is not going to be shut down tomorrow, but perhaps OSRS gold sellers and real world traders are getting very desperate now as OSRS gp is selling at $0.35 per mil (a historic low?) at bigger OSRS rwt sides and like $0.32 per mil at some smaller ones.
