I couldn't have said it any better Moo Bear. Kudos!

Todays gamers aren't happy with things remaining as they are. The fact is OSRS was brought back for a reason, and it should remain unchanged to maintain the validity of that reason.

Todays gamers want instant gratification for their hard (if you can call it hard) work. They aren't happy unless they have enormous amounts of gold, or items that put them near superhero/god-like status.

What we have now, is a group of players coming over to play OSRS from EoC for the first time, that are now going to play OSRS simply because there's content being added not found in the EoC version. These players are now going to vote on future content and twist the game into their own little RS playground.

I have game systems that date back to the early 80s. I have Nintendo, Super-Nintendo, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, Turbo Graphics, Sega, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Playstations 1 and 2. They all still work fine and over the decades I've played a lot of games and beaten them. Some games we good enough to play several times. Some games got old and boring, and some were even too embarassing to mention.

The point is, even though those games aren't being updated, and when I'm bored, I turn to those games upon occasion. And guess what? I'll play them again, some for the first time in years, and next thing I know, I've spent the past 6 hours button mashing on a joystick and found that I wasn't nearly as bored as I thought I was.

OSRS should remain as is... Old School, locked in time, and never updated. If player-base drops off, Jagex can remove a significant number of servers and OSRS can fall into the same category as RS Classic, where some people will still play it, but most will go back to playing EoC because of lack of updates.

cue controversy!

the only things i dont like about the main rs is eoc in general and the gamble wheel thing. i'd take every other update from start to finish bar those 2 and still enjoy the game.

shock horror yep i even like the ge, mostly because it means if i want to buy something the main limiting factor is "do i have the gold" not is that x 3rd party site up, is it current, is there someone selling, is that person who listed actually selling or just trolling. Or try to log into a busy world, try again, again, again, again, again, get in, be immediately obliterated by the old school 100 lines per nanosecond of flashy autotypers. Or lastly sit and watch the runescape forums which may or may not see the item you want posted in the next week/month.

that would be my fix for rs, no eoc no wheel keep the rest. So i'm basicaly pro any other future/possible updates

Thanks for the post Mod Mat K and I say a definite yes to the new content and the picking the good or even adding new unseen things, and I wish the rest of the team at Jagex was as dedicated as the OldSchool team, the fact that we actually get listened to is just amazing and mostly unseen in recent times. (EoC was ready) lol no.

But a huge thanks to the OS team. I can say I love the game again because of them.

I would really like Varrock Diary to be added, if it's possible, so there would be a furnace at Edgeville again. :)

Also bank tabs and search would be very appreciated!

I feel the point was that it be the original game as it was, for people wanting EOC type updates there's always EOC to play!


People don't want EoC type updates, and you have to be very stupid to believe they do.

People just don't want all the good things that happened between 2008 and 2012 to be ignored completely. We want OSRS to actually have halfway decent content, rather than just be a boring nostalgia repository.

If you want a game which doesn't have updates, you should be playing RS classic. Not this.

That's akin to saying if you want a game that is constantly changing, you should be playing the main game (aside from the fact that the main game IS available to anyone and RSC is NOT).

Surprise, surprise, but ''good'' is a relative term, defined by the individual. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

I got 63 hunter over the weekend and went to go hunt red chins but cant as every world is full of bots. It may be a crazy idea but could you please make the current content playable instead of adding new stuff. Im going back to crafting nats where there are no bots...oh wait
