I heavily support this idea.

I'm a mid-level casual player, and it has been really frustrating to first get excited about the concept of a minigame or its rewards, only to then find out that there is no one else playing it, or that everyone who is playing it is max level.

I'd first suggest that there be an option to add bots to minigames to fill in the missing players (Example: Me and the 2 friends think Barbarian assault looks like a lot of fun. But we need 5 people for it. If we get 2 strangers to play, they are probably max level because it seems everyone in RS3 is maxxed. Not fun. If we could instead add 2 bots to the game that do the bare minimum, then we could finally play the minegame!)

But adding AI for all the minigames is probably a lot more effort for Jagex than just reducing the needed number of players. Unfortunately Barbarian assault won't be fixed for us with this solution, but if we could go try out the other listed minigames now that would still be a win for us.

*Sigh

I don't know what it will take for us to ask Jagex to fix what once was a great addition to this game. It was always nice for me to take a break from the fishing grind and go meet up with players to play some CW , PC, or whatever.

What makes us think that they will fix the mini games? Hells bells, I'm still in compatibility mode right now.

It appears to be more and more frustrating to play this game outside the bossing realm when much needs to be revitalized. O_o Especially when It also appears that introducing new bosses is more a priority. :@

Mini games was ALWAYS a great way to blow off steam. I don't know nor would I know how, but I would love to see an improvement and I love your suggestion of "no minimum players."

Totally support!

The maps/reward system are truly what need changed, if there were rewards that had benefits to them that were relevant to todays RS economy and game style people would have an actual reason to play minigames.

I also believe they should be made to where they're more community focused and force people to truly work as a whole! We've honestly gotten to focused on being alone and doing everything by ourselves/only focused on who has the biggest cash stack or who can 4k the fastest or who has the best PB at a boss and we've forgotten that we're all one big family and became so toxic towards each other (some like to troll but we're still all family) minigames used to bring everyone together and bring so much joy to the community and after a few updates it turned into sweatscape... bring back the golden era!!!! Everything you've ever wanted is hidden behind fear.

Signed for sure, I wish some of the minigames would just be released for F2P (like in osrs). Imagine F2P Castle Wars where people can live for more than .2 seconds? Would probably bring in more players. oof yes!
I always wondered how that'd be in member worlds but that's also fun!

Ultimately I think minigames are going to need a proper update to really come back. Not just reducing minimum player count and improving rewards but fixing all the stuff that's broken or outdated like CFB's invisible walls of fire, combat not balanced for EoC needing to be either locked to legacy or updated for EoC, Heist's map visibility, old interfaces not consistent with updated ones, etc.

While the difficulty in finding other players to start a game with is part of the problem, a part of why it's so hard to find players is that a number of them have issues from how buggy and outdated they are that discourage players from wanting to engage with that content even if they don't mind whether or not they're getting rewards out of it.

In terms of a quick fix to make them at least somewhat more playable until that's done, I think the ability to see how many people are waiting for a particular minigame on a particular world would help make it easier to find other people. How to block a forum user

i think reducing the minimum is a first step.

all the other things (not including bug fixes) are way too much hassle to do and will just slow down the whole minigame process.
They should fix the bugs and make some minor qol changes like removing the player minimum.


bringing people to 1 world doesnt work well enough (most minigames that do this already are pretty dead too)

Can anyone make a complete list of which minigames can or cannot be played solo (whichever list is shorter-if you want it to be a quicker job!)

Thank you so much!
