when you're the appointed World Guardian.

when you have ties to all Gods.

when you're going up against Zamorakian followers.

when the game always pits you against Zamorak in a predetermined scenario.

How can it be possible for me to enjoy the game as a Zamorakian when all things are against it?

In my opinion, this matches perfectly with Zamorak's philosophy, being antagonistic and opportunistic in a sense.

You're supposed to fight your way through to become his 'truest' follower, by overcoming everything and everyone challenging you. I wouldn't quite expect it to be a joyful walk through the park with flowers and butterflies, but rather a rough path through his valley of darkness where - yes - you eventually go against his followers in one way or another, but in the process, you are also indirectly redeeming yourself by proving you are strongest of the whole bunch.

Zamorak has also said that many of his followers, like Zemouregal, Lucien, etc. have not been truly loyal to his cause. They were rather in it for their personal gain. I would look closer to his inner circle where, obviously, you have made a great contribution, if you have been truly devoted throughout the game, like throughout the heist and many other quests, and right up till the endgame.

Furthermore, I would say that despite the bias we've had back in the early game, Jagex has made good efforts enabling the player to make up for all that you've previously done against his clique.

I propose we needn't cry over spilt milk, as there's no way to modify the past. Let's be glad about the result, being that you've been able to support your god right uptil the end, having been allowed to help him through the mess we call questing. Not addicted but committed

You know whats even harder? Being Godless when we have:

No lore to support us being different than what a lot of people assume we are.

No Biehn in-game to show he IS the leader (because no one reads the frigging book of the gods)

Having to do almost the same thing you stated.

And no in-game quest/miniquest- mention in anyway besides Quests where we do not appear.

Not being able to mention Guthix as a good person because people will call us hypocrites because he is (ppl seem to forget "WAS&quot ;) a God.

preview of David "Evil" Karloff's newest single, It's Hard Being Zamorakian:

'Cause it's hard out there for a Zamorakian
When you're prayin' and betrayin', and your faith is forsaken
My unworthy masters shall do the dance of defeat
And we'll rid the world of Saradomin's deceit
Me and Zammy, ain't nothin' gonna sever
It's nothin' but chaos till the end of foreveeeer!


*inspired by Lord 8-Tails The legendary creators have been long gone from this world. When they return, they'll be surprised and angered of their creations' new sapience. Meanwhile, the world's most elite, summoned to be its guardians, have abandoned their purpose and intend to plunge the world into chaos. -- Bionicle or RS?

1) Have you considered that maybe they're right?

2) He's a co-founder, which puts him in the same position a Kara-Meir.

3) It is hypocritical. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

Would mind elaborating on your reasons on your response?

How is it not hypocritical to believe all the gods are bad except for Guthix? Is it not a double standard to respect one god but oppose all the rest just because they're gods?

It's only a double standard if you phrase it that way. A better way to phrase it is that Guthix was probably the best one can expect a god to be, but, in the end, he was still a god.

To quote their Book of the Gods:

I'm not with them, as I'm leaving the order. It'll come as no surprise to you; I've been thinking about leaving for some time. It rung false: why would Guthix want us to live as equals, if he was above us in every conceivable way - in wisdom, in morals, in power? I always mistrusted him for that.

But Guthix never wanted me - us - to worship him. He wanted to abandon the notion of worship completely, so that he could retire and leave the world to mortals.

Because Guthix was so far above mortals, he still drew mortals to put him above themselves and worship him. His goal was benevolent, but his nature as a god made it unattainable and worked to an end opposite his intent.
