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.

Well Bandos got a quest line, but it didn't help him very much

Also like i said, Saradomin got more content then Zaros has since TWW, Saradomins in everything, even other gods world events or things that you would expect to primarily be about other gods, like Garlandias story, or guthixs memories, or Ooak. He just keeps popping up in random places

Since jagex is trying to make lore more open to new players they skipped the quest stage and allowed you to talk to the gods in world events and ask them tons of questions, which is good because it means it wont take 6 months of development time to find out a gods opinion on a matter like it will for Zaros, so really "Zarosians" are getting the short stick as they wont hear from their god until the next elder god quest comes out, yet we will prob hear from Sara next month when he invades some other gods content

The saradomin isn't really content though I mean here is how I sum it in plain terms.

He gets a "sup bro I'm Saradomin" in tww, the World event was nice but the only one you get to talk to is Padomenes and there is no backstory on the event at all. Saradomin starts summoning centaur champions, lion pride leaders, colossus all these things that could have amazing back stories but instead they are just there and leave when the WE is over with no real story.

I wouldn't say garlandia's story is content, in truth it just seems like it was an event to just start a flame war I mean Saradomin rips off her wings, the story is true but bias and you never hear the other side so basically it was just fuel to a flame war. Which a good quarter of posts on saradomin are just wing ripper comments.

(SPOILER)
And for Zarosians they can talk to Zaros whenever they want after fot*, plus their god is the foundation of majority of future content is how Fot* was promoted.

"bad" lore content is still content, remember not everyone likes good lore for their god, many enjoy the bad lore much more. Just because you didn't like the lore doesn't mean you can exclude it. The fact is Saradomin has received the most lore recently, and doesn't need anymore any time soon, though if jagex feels the story could be better told by giving him even more lore, then i am all for it.

I mean it isn't really content there is nothing to. I mean if you were to take one NPC that has a story about a god and she just says that is why she doesn't like the god and ends there. It isn't really content, versus having a quest in detail explain the story line or better understand the character. Plus I don't get where he had the most lore recently, I mean seriously if he did I'm very interested. But much of the post TWW content was based around zaros ending in Fot* which really was all about zaros, I mean the only storyline he got was DoC, and a small glimpse of teragard from the Ooak

Not to mention a 10 week event all about him, plus emissaries, plus a 2 week long event detailing his actions with guthix. I don't see what the problem is saradomin got a smaller quest plus a whole lot of medium size things plus a massive world event. Zaros got a quest and emissaries. I think that's pretty fair even though it doesn't need to be

Is someone seriously trying to say that Zaros isn't getting enough content?

We had an entire month that was nothing but Zaros themed updates. We had a quest about the last remaining member of a race that served Zaros, which also included the Dragonkin, tying in to a quest series that is about Zaros. We then had an update where we did annoying amounts of divination in order to get more information about Zaros' old empire and were rewarded with Zarosian titles, then we had a quest where we brought Zaros back into Gielinor, before having a postquest reward requiring us to collect memories about Zaros' past. We also received a piece of Zaros which can be used to listen to his monologues about himself, and prevents all sides from attacking you in GWD, because they're apparently terrified of how amazing Zaros is.

Next month, we're having a Zaros themed piece of content (details TBA) that rewards us with some Zaros themed abilities, something that Guthix had to die in order for us to get, and one of the final quests of the year (assuming that we get no other Zaros content at all) is going to be a quest where we play second fiddle to Zaros in his quest to wake up the Elder gods.

But apparently a world event that was largely disliked by the players, a noob quest that features Saradomin briefly at the beginning and end whose sequel has been postponed for at least another year, and several areas where Saradomin is insulted and implicated in random atrocities means that Saradomin is rolling in delicious content, and his followers can rest easy at night, knowing that they're getting dedicated content instead of being maligned during events that aren't even related to them.

I never once said Zaros needs more contet, read the entire thing if you decod to comment. All I said was saradomin gets a crap ton of content, more then other gods so I don't see why people are complaining. It's stupid how personal people take these factions, they act like some negative lore is an attack on them, instead of enjoying the content, if Zaros murder hundreds of people in an upcoming quest, why does it matter at least you have a quest, you get to learn some things about Zaros, and it progresses the story.

And yeah saradomins "followers" should rest easy, at least they get content on a very regular basis, when I was zarosian and I cared about these stupid factions,I was very envious about how the saradominist got frequent lore about their "god" Zaros hadn't had anything in many months except emissaries and a diamond on a mat, while saradomin had tww, guthix memories, emissaries, doc, world event one, a large role in Mpd, a small bit of lore in BotD, World event 2 lore story. My favorite part of Zaros lore was all of his negatives, I loved the story Jagex wrote about how he treated his empire, and I wrote a thread about it trying to make it public knowledge about how bad thru were treated, and I did this as a zarosian. So I really don't see why people complain when they lean something about their faction whether it's good or bad, at least you got something. Stop being picky people

Exactly so lore forumers should be satisfied that they are getting lore, and not be picky about it.

You said in your previous post that "zarosians got the short end of the stick" which just wasn't right because Zaros had a tons of lore dedicated to him. There is nothing wrong with liking zaros because he has the most content. It is just truth that Saradomin doesn't have a lot of content because it is like you said earlier they didn't expect people to like him. But now in the future they are going to give saradomin more content because he doesn't have much now. All the content you listed is content all gods were involved in.
