It is pretty dead in the lore forum :(

Discord for the lore fc doesn't seem all that active either but maybe I'm looking at the wrong subchannel? Discord just seems a little complicated lol, it's a new thing I gotta learn. Click here for ideas on exploring other worlds, specifically the human homeworld Teragard. This one's me baby

Go to the lore channels in the official RS Discord. That's where all the activity is. I still prefer when the lore forums were the go-to place for lore discussion, but sadly it hasn't been this way for years :/

I expect many lore hounds still watch this forum, waiting for it to be active again.

Many years ago, Jagex advanced RuneScape’s lore very very slowly - just a hint here and a suggestion there. Then things started moving fast just before and up through the 6th age. Slowing down again might not be a bad thing if the Jmods most interested in lore let all the existing lore sink in deeply, and they think seriously about building on and cleaning up the excellent foundations they already have.

Removing the lores and histories wasn’t a good sign - unless they’re considering editing them to align with a more unified story.

Unfortunately I don’t have much hope for archaeology - since it could mean needing to develop vast amounts of lore quickly and in big batches. This isn’t conducive to careful and detailed story-telling.

I think simply having jmods visit the lorums would spike activity a bit. They make updates, but I don't know that they're doing terribly well to talk to the community as they make those updates, at least not on the forums. Maybe there's some discord conversation I've missed. Click here for ideas on exploring other worlds, specifically the human homeworld Teragard. This one's me baby

Instead of shutting it down, they should quit catering to Reddit and Discord and actually use their official forums. I shouldn't have to use third-party sites to engage with a game's developers and community. Even if I liked Reddit and Discord (I don't, though Reddit is the worst of the two), I wouldn't want to have to go there to engage with the community and developers when there's a perfectly good forum here.

The death of forums and rise of social media has been one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the internet. Aside from personal preferences, social media has a large chunk of responsibility for our society turning into the cesspool that it is these days. ~
