    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

      Yup, I haven’t been able to get back into RS3 for years now when in the past I’ve been able to at least have annual stretches of play

      There’s OSRS still, for the moment “uncorrupted”, but it’s basically starting fresh even when your account existed when OSRS was Runescape

        Unfortunately you’re a little bit behind on the times. They basically gave up on fighting bots because they know that they pay a subscription and there’s no point in getting rid of them if they are a recurring source of revenue, so they quietly stopped fighting back against them and claim that it’s not possible to solve the problem when they know exactly what they can do to solve it. Endgame is basically non-existent, it’s literally just grinding the same exact bosses infinitely to fill out collection log or get a specific pet. That’s the entire end game. They have done nothing to actually make the game more enjoyable and that’s kind of a problem for people because if you’ve already maxed wood cutting and fishing, what’s the incentive of doing it again on another account?

          A lot of people absolutely love collection logging and pet hunting.

          It ain’t for me either, to be clear, but what exactly do you want out of OSRS end game? I can’t really come up with what I’d actually want it to look like.
