We are going to have a 2 week Halloween events in a couple of days too.
Halloween has always been my favourite time in RS. So many scary people lurking around!

I'm looking forward to hanging out at the events.

Even better MMO feeling this week as even more players show up on time with the event icon location on the world map and global broadcast messages.

I am also very happy to see heaps of players teleporting directly to the Events with me. It shows they have no problem completing all Flash Events, and more importantly they still seem to be very happy to continue to go to Flash Events even they have they got their Comp Cape back among other achievements. :)

It's gotten a lot better.

It should get even better next week when they release Garden of Kharid. We should see plenty more players making open world herb runs just like the good old days.

We see even more players running around in open world as some instance dwellers are coming out of the PvM Hub to make farm runs. RS3 is getting more and more like a massively multiplayer game, and not one with one or two player owning an entire world.

Flash Events will be as good as dead content as soon as the majority of players have received their trims and/or dark cores.

Just by throwing a load of high levelled rewards at new content doesn't make that content good, nor worthy of returning to once other content that has more rewarding content has been released. Adding in trim requirements only makes people detest the content further because they feel forced into it, rather than them feeling naturally drawn to a quality piece of content.

Most players I've come across at the events say they can't wait till they never have to do them again.

Jagex need to start looking at the quality of their updates, because the standard has slipped severely over the past year or so.


~A~ completely agree with this after comp grind it's gonna die off just like the new farming update after everyone re-comps they won't be back there any time soon

Two more weeks later, Wildyness Flash Events are still massively popular, and even more so in FSW.

Even the very popular OSRS Youtube J1mmy admitted he was wrong about RS3 all these years. He even called himself "very stupid" to miss out on playing RS3, especially FSW the past years.

It's clearly not "still massively popular".

Don't get me wrong, the special events will continue to prove popular whilst dark cores remain high value, but even they will see their popularity dwindle when another, more valuable prize becomes available elsewhere. This is the inevitable outcome of making new content viable only if "the best" prize is available from it.

Let's see how popular these special events are 12 months from now.

Of course all popular events will become less popular when new updates more popular than them come out. No saying Wildyness Flash Events will still be as massive as now 12 months from now. I am going to guess we don't have to wait 12 months from now, but when the new skill comes out next year, some players doing the Flash Events will be attracted to it.

Even Archaology, the immensely popular update that spearheaded Jagex to record revenue in 2020 became less popular 12 months later. However, when one has to keep pushing back the day when an update will become popular to 2 weeks, then 2 months, then 12 months then you know it remains massively popular at this point.
