If Seren for example finds the sword which guthix had which let him open portals, couldn't she potentially but up the same barriers guthix did and lock the other gods out (I choose Seren because she was close to guthix so It' be nice if it did happen again for her to be the one doing it).

So while we don't have guthix around anymore it might not matter.

Humans are the greatest threat to the world of Runescape, not the gods.
Pollution, global warming. We've killed off a few species of trees (The White Tree) and wildlife (the animal used to make the skillcapes).
Frankly, the World guardian has probably endangered the world more times than we "saved" it.
Kinda like how we were instrumental in getting Azzy back in contact with Zaros during Temple at Sennisten, and when Zaros flexed his muscles, he nearly destabilized the rift in the Abyss. Why is that a problem? Well ... it would have been bad if that rift when boom. So once again, we nearly destroyed the world.

We're the ones that helped let the Spirit Beast slip into our world and become the Corporeal Beast.

Everyone else knows what they are doing. We're the walking storm of chaos that's a disaster waiting to happen.

We're the ones that effectively awoke the Dragonkin and allowed Lucien to Steal the Stone of Jas in the first place, which in turn led to Guthix's death and Sliske's little game.

We're the ones that escalated the war between the Daggonath and the Fremennik by killing that 1 Dag mother, allowing a smarter/stronger one to arise, who led an attack on multiple Isles and Rellekka, and ended with the deaths of the Prince and Princess of Misc.

There are a significant amount of threats, you have the elder gods, even some of the young gods. Particularly Zamorak for a god to be nothing less than addicted to the same elder artifact that he used to blow up one of the biggest continents in Gielinor is a pretty massive threat as it stands.

But I do feel where you are coming from, it does seem like we don't really lose anymore. I guess after 15 years of Runescape and all the quests in between its just hard to ever see us being in a position where we won't come out on top.
Saradomin is just as addicted... I am worried about the god wars. It needs to stop. Mortal wars are pretty harmless. But last time god wars could have destroed the world. But then Guthix Stopped it. This is the second god wars. And who is missing (dead)?

Bandos
who made the war as long as it was


(and Guthix, who stopped the war)


WHat happens without him if the god wars gets out of hand?

Saradomin being addicted hasn't really been indicated too much anymore. In MPD he even warned sliske the dangers of the stone, and unlike Zamorak he didn't rush to find the stone he was instead looking for the wand of resurrection he seems to care way more about reviving the centaurs than anything to do with the stone and sliske's game.

We do not know what he is doing right now. If he wasn't addicted, would he be in the endgame? NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

We saved the white tree from extinction and prevented the ice mountain from melting 2.The corporeal beast doesn't leave the cave so it doesn't endanger anybody in our world 3. Lucien ended up stealing the staff regardless of our choice we failed to stop him from awaking the dragonkin but it would have happened anyways. 4. In short of commiting genocide I don't see how the world guardian would have stopped a second daggonath mother

And attacking the planet, we have Vorago--who onced attacked before and may do so again--the Dark Lord, who we recently defeated, and the Empty Lord, who wishes to control our fates.

And then we have our greatest threats, Saradomin, an egomaniac who has a temper problem that has caused him to destroy and entire planet before. And Armadyl, an alien invader who wishes to conquer us all and kill everyone who opposes him.

You have no right to speak Zamorakian, your evil God is the only God that destroyed an entire continent on gielinor leaving a dark scar on the planet!

The greatest threat is Zamorak, should that devil gain the Eye of Saradomin than all hope for survival is lost.

Agreed, though I hope Saradomin retrieves the Eye of Saradomin in Sliske's Endgame

Is Gielinor safe? Of course not.

Never forget the abyss is crammed with the worst of the worst hiding out from the Elder God's Great Revisions. I imagine that there are more threats hiding in the depths between realties than our worse nightmares can conjure, one meat grinding battle for survival. There are things in the dark, demons are only one of them.

The cycles of Great Revisions would have ground on and even with Mah something will rise to consciousness. Something else will hide in the dark. What would they be driven by? Revenge? Compassion? Predatory instinct? But they're out there...

It all had to start somewhere. The First Elder God. The First Universe. Something is going to have seen it coming. The something will be hiding in the dark. Waiting... The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,

From a gameplay perspective, I want them to actually make some changes to the game world because of lore. How bout instead of Tuska crash landing in the ocean, she flattens Pollnivneach? Well because some players haven't done all the quest content there, that can't happen. But how about DURING quests? Look at the "damage" the dragonkin did to Edgeville in ROTM; while from a gameplay perspective nothing changed.

River of Blood is set to take place mostly around Paterdomus, hence its upcoming graphical rework. What if the building itself is obliterated in the quest? Since there is little content in Paterdomus once you've done all the Morytania quests, that's not a particular issue. What about Canifis? Again outside of quests there is little to do there.

My point is, once all quests and activities have been completed in an area, they are often never visited again unless you're just passing through. To this end, finales to quests (or at least once which require all previous quests that include said area) should be able to not only threaten but act upon the threats presented within the quests*
