I know I'm in the minority here, but I figure I may as well voice my opinion just for my own peace of mind.

I understand the need for Jagex to move towards the mobile app market, but you're doing so at the detriment to both of your existing games. If you must go for the cash pot that is the mobile gaming industry, please at least create a separate game that doesn't ruin the games you already sell to us.

Adding the ability to access OSRS and RS3 from a mobile device from anywhere at any time de-values the progress that so many dedicated members have worked towards for over a decade in some cases. A big part of the challenge of high-level play and skilling is the fact that you have to be on your PC or laptop. Now that anyone will be able to idly click trees, rocks, or fishing spots at work, school, or out shopping, a skill like 99 woodcutting, fishing, crafting, fletching, mining, smithing, etc. means absolutely nothing. AFK and idling activities will become an easy path to 99. All the work that current players put in is made meaningless.

Again, I know I'm in the minority on this one. I'd love to hear some counter-arguments about this. It's funny - I remember being surveyed a lot about mobile related ideas (and I was in the minority in a lot of those surveys), but there was never really a poll asking us if we'd want this. I guess it wouldn't matter since everyone seems to just pass every idea.

idk who cares bai


I'm very excited for this new update because so many more people will finally get to enjoy the game just like us, That's cool!
But as a RS Veteran that started back when you could still make RS accounts AND RSC accounts at the same time, you brought up a crazy fact :O true scaping and 100% grinding will soon be over. But I'm going to look at it's 15ish years later there is a 2nd wave of Veterans coming into the game at the same time. :P

This could be cool although I don't think I'd have the data to run it on the go. One thing I wanted to know is a follow up to someones earlier remark about whether content would be avoided if it wouldn't work well on mobile.

What about the time for content updates, wouldn't this be longer if there's another 2 platforms to make it work on? Or is that not how the app would work?

Hey mate, will the game be available on IOS, i remember seeing a clip that it couldn't be done because of update rules with Apple needing a 30 day check on the changes. thanks.



FAQ is here :
The app will be free on iOS and Android, and will mirror your current experience; if you’re a member you’ll be able to access all worlds on the app, if you’re not a member, you’ll be able to access non-members worlds only.
