    “We’re only asking about those outrageous monetization schemes so we know how much you hate them! We definitely didn’t consider them!”

    Yeah, testing the waters.

    Us RuneScape vets who quit knew this was coming when they started playing hot potato with Jagex limited. They keep selling it to different companies, now it’s owned by a shitty investment company that basically kills off the companies it buys so it owns the IP and doesn’t have to keep the games alive. It can then flip the IP for huge amounts of money. But anyway… Both versions of the game are just cash grabs at this point designed to waste the maximum amount of players time

    I remember connecting to private World of Warcraft servers back in the day and even hosted one for just me and my partner. Anyone know if it would be technically possible do this for RuneScape?

      Yeah. At least OSRS, I’m not as certain about RS3.

      Google RSPS- Runescape Private Servers.

      I have no idea how much effort it would be, but it’s clearly possible.

    I’m so glad I buried every relationship I ever had with a live service game.

    They all turn to shit. All of them.
