Mini games are dead content. Please delete all unpopular multiplayer mini games!

Any mini games that are soloable should stay, as you can participate at any given moment. Soloable mini games include Fight Kiln, Shattered Worlds, Fight Cauldron, etc. These can stay! Games like Fist of Guthix, Castle Wars, Soul Wars etc should be banished, just destroyed and deleted from the realm of Runescape!

I am currently trying to complete the Ardougne achievements - Be on the winning side of Castle Wars and use a catapult. I find myself spending more time out of the game searching for a FC that can help, than ACTUALLY PLAYING RS ITSELF. This further proves how DEAD mini games are. Seriously! No one plays that fing s***!!! Just re-word your achievements to "Successfully find a FC that can host a Castle Wars game".

Edit: As Cole stated, I would fully support a full revamp of mini games ESPECIALLY with it's removal from achievements. I still support complete deletion with no regards to the few players that play mini games, but a revamp would still win support. Spotlight games come once a month or not often enough. That's ridiculous!

Certainly, minigames should be removed from achievements and completionist requirements.

They should certainly not be removed from the game.

There are still many players who very much enjoy these minigames, and with a little bit of attention from the developers, they can become accessible again.

If you're desperate for the achievement, you can wait till the spotlight falls on Castle Wars again. Fortunately, you don't have long to wait as this will be from Wednesday 18th January.

Minigames absolutely should not be removed from the game. They're in the state they're in because they were ignored and neglected despite the once thriving community that has given plenty of feedback on what problems they have and how to address them. If they updated the social aspects of the game and modernized minigames they'd be able to reclaim their spot as a major facet of the game. Demand is still there for restoring them so there's hardly a lack of interest. How to block a forum user

Achievement diaries are supposed to showcase content in a distinct area. I mean they basically have four issues for that matter - they're a locked up time bubble from whenever they were released, they may partially showcase absolute bullshit (I mean it's nice, that you learn there might be some random anvil or range in the middle of nowhere - but with the exception of the diary task it is involved in, you won't ever use again), sometimes they are absolutely irrelevant to their specific region (like creating something you literally could create anywhere, without showcasing any benefit why it should be done in that specific area) and sometimes it just involves some random multiplayer content nobody plays anymore for a plethora of reasons.

In general I would support re-designing achievement diaries from scratch - possibly with an extension for master tiered tasks - and that can include changing those minigame tasks to general purpose achievements. When it comes to the comp cape - I'll fully support getting rid of achievements neither involving an unlock or a completable (like they did with CW and conquest in the past), but if it involves unlocking or completing something - you'll have to get through that if you want your cosmetic cape I guess...

For your problem right now, it's better to wait for a minigame spotlight - I don't know how it is now, but in the past you usually were able to find players then. For your specific issue - CW right now has a spotlight - just hop in on one of the worlds and look if something's going on. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Yep, thanks to the overwhelming amount of players that don't play Castle Wars, I was able to successfully dodge the Ardougne Achievement. So now I must wait a glorious 28 days before the next spotlight. That spotlight system sure was handy dandy. All the players just flocked to Castle Wars... All 0 of them.

Achievements are dead content. Please delete all unpopular singleplayer achievements!

Any achievements that are groupable should stay, as you can participate at any given moment. Groupable achievements include Fight Kiln, Shattered Worlds, Fight Cauldron, etc. These can stay! Achievements like Fist of Guthix, Castle Wars, Soul Wars etc should be banished, just destroyed and deleted from the realm of Runescape!

As Angel Bone stated, I would fully support a full revamp of achievements ESPECIALLY with it's removal from minigames. I still support complete deletion with no regards to the few players that play achievements, but a revamp would still win support.

There are people like me who would absolutely love to get back to play Minigames if people were playing. I mean I cannot solo make a clan in Clan Wars or play Fist of Guthix with nobody, right.

I do support that they should be revamped. If people are not playing the minigames, then there is probably something wrong with the system - Something is probably not working out.

So in this case, I think our opinion should be taken into consideration and they should be used to revamp minigames.

Removing minigames will remove any hopes that players like me would have to play them in future.

----------

If Minigames are removed, then what about all minigame-related items?

Rune Berserker Shield, combat Hood, etc. can only be recharged using FOG tokens, so if Minigames are removed, then should these items be removed as well?

What about people who already own them? Jagex simply cannot remove all the items. They would have to repurpose them.

This is a bit too complicated, and I dont think minigame content that have been well thought of, coded and were popular at one time but not now, should simply be removed.
