One of the things I enjoyed about OSRS when it came out was there was no GE.
It motivated me to play the different skills I now find mostly useless sort-of like an Ironman.

I liked stockpiling stuff on my bank I could sell like Redberry pies.
And then the GE came to OSRS, I got turned off by it and went back to RS3.
Only reason I ended up back in OSRS was because my computer caught on fire so I ended up playing from my laptop which couldn't handle RS3 for a few months.
And I've stayed in OSRS because RS3 seems so foreign now with everything that has changed.

I've seen a lot of my old friends I made 15 years ago return in the past 5 months.
Many of us just trade among ourselves.

That being said, the one feature I'd love to see in OSRS is the lending system.
I think that would help mitigate a lot of the scams.

So when the GE came out, the player counters suddenly tanked within like two months but they somehow "liked" the GE? Intriguing.
I would much rather anyone PK in game than do so irl. If you wanna get it out, do it on an online platform please. I don't want anyone getting harmed physically. :(

I loved world 2 fally gardens back in real 07 and for a part of osrs, the G.E wasn't there either, the problem in osrs was fally gardens was dead and varrock was the trade centre, i'd rather it not be there but its handy and will never be removed

Once again, you choose to ignore other factors.


Ahhh, right. How could I ever forget about the PKers? They jumped ship right after the wilderness was revoked which was part of a bigger update that the GE was solely created to pave way for. I understand now. It was both the GE and the removal of PvP.

Assuming you're talking about the ACTUAL 2007, player count went down because of the wilderness update.

We were talking about 2013 and after. The wilderness pking removal was 2008.

As usual, when you cant win an argument with fact, you blow smoke out your wazoo and use mirrors to hide your loss.

I brought up 230k player counters. Did we have that between 2013 and the present? I mean don't get me wrong, we're obviously headed there at this rate contrary to what a certain gold farmer said ages ago about us never being able to hit 100k again "due to the skillers quitting", but that's besides the point.

Also, I don't do drugs, dibby. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't party. That's something only conservatives waste their time doing. Us liberals actually go to college to further educate ourselves and believe in science. We like to do productive things with our time.
