Balanced in what way, content wise saradomin has received the most since tww. Tuska and bandos have received the least, although I might want these two to have more content, I want Jagex to tell their story, and not change it from how they want to tell it, to how players want it told, so I don't complain content wise.

I wouldn't really say the most the thing that kinda irked me was how Zaros return has its own quest series building up over 9-10 years with a good deal of master quests ending in the biggest grandmaster quest ever released.

And then how Saradomin's return is basically a cameo in TWW, Zamorak is just a 5second cut scene from WE1. You don't see armadyl or Bandos. Saradomin doesn't have a ton of content I would love for them to address teragard and basically all the info that was never covered on him I mean he never gets in-depth lore. But I think they are probably saving that as back up content or something like that. But it would be nice to see more of Tuska and Bandos, I really hope bandos dying isn't the end of all that content because that rhinoceros race he was a part of was pretty interesting.

If you think about it its not really a great thing for "Zarosians" all content is pretty much locked away behind lots of skill req, he will never be in world events, and now thanks to polls its always iffy whether we will even see Zaros content. Saradomin got tons this year btw, we learned a lot in guthix memories, DOC, Ooak, emmisaries, Fot*(only a little bit here) World event 2, world event 1 (but not as much as one would think)

and apparently we are getting bandos content soon

Yea and Zamorak content it will be nice. The skill requirements you gotta look at like this, if you like quests and you do level up your character but you don't like zaros you kind of got the really short end of the stick. Everything is related to him, you got gear, curses, ancient magics. Saradomin got some nice content but the content was hyped as giving the player a better image of Saradomin and giving him a balanced look well the content wasn't exactly balanced. Plus with power to the players you need to do balanced content. I mean if there is only one quest to a particular series, or the other series is 7 quests in, people are going to vote for the quest series they have been involved in for the past 9 years. Which is why every quest poll it is going to be sixth age quests, elder gods are zaros. That is the thing I'm getting at. I would rather they give balanced content to the younger gods.

I like to think of Zaros as a character relating to batman or superman you bring the character up as an underdog but it just keeps growing to the point where you can just predict what is going to happen next, or built to the point where is so above everyone else that it is only himself that can be his undoing.

Ooak wasn't very Zarosian so its not all Zaros, though i can see where you are coming from Zaros is so interconnected in all lore its hard not to put him places, though its part of his character to be like a spider in the center of a web, pulling all the strings so it makes sense.

I don't think they ever promised to make Saradomin more balanced.

Do remember it took 9 years for Zaros to return and Saradomin like 1 quest, now imagine you are the "Zarosians", doesn't seem quite fair now does it, everyone else gets to talk to their favorite npcs and you get to talk to some crazy guy (tho its worse for Serenist)

The thing is you always have the option of stopping Zaros, which is pretty cool i think.

The thing is you always have

I think that is very fair for zarosians I would love for every god to have their own quest series.

1 - I am so, so eager to offer you the more balanced view of Saradomin. We have an upcoming piece of content that very definitely does this, and it's time for you Saradominists to understand more about what Saradomin was about. It is true that the rules Saradomin set for his people are not the same as those he follows, but he has good reasons for this. Imagine Saradomin as the sheriff of a backwater Wild West town - there are varmints who are upsetting the peace, and the only way to remove them is to face them with gunfire. There is an element of selflessness in Saradomin, but also an unforgiving nature, that we really want to present.

This is what I was more pointing to with the balanced view of saradomin.

So you would want Saradomins return to take 9 years with maybe if your lucky one quest a year about helping him return???

And this is about DoC right?, Didn't you get what you wanted from the quest, Saradomin explained the Naragi incident, said in game how badly he feels about it, how he regrets it, how he has changed, and then if you take a saradominist path in the quest he is quite nice and seems like he cares deeply about his followers, plus he ends up with a great tool, and regarless of player choice ends up with it, which you could say is unfair to Zaros, I don't know how much more pro Saradomin you can get with the quest.

It is not about my god its just all others. I would rather have content leading up to the return rather than just 9 years of irony or nothing at all. Which is basically what the younger gods had. Fot* was a grandmaster quest and you got to talk to zaros and ask him tons of questions that should be the standard for other gods as well. I think players should get a more balanced view of characters, I mean it is not hard to see the most popular god Zaros also has the most quests and content related to him. It is just that kind of thing, making characters and the overall story more interesting relies on how in depth they plan on explaining those characters or letting them speak through action but you really can't get a good understanding of them if there is no content on them.

Personally I like saradomin the most because he has so little content but yet he still plays a major role in the storyline.
