And to think in ~6 months you’ll probably need to go through that whole song and dance again when you switch them to Matrix 😔
Don’t worry mates, I booted up the RuneScape 3 rework two weeks ago and life has color again ☺️
But the lizard looks so unserious, my family thinks it’s untrustworthy 🤷
(I went with Debian in the end and we love it)

I just think the games are still worth it at the higher price and that RS3 might be underrated now.
But I don’t want to use American software 🤷

I know they cut out flash events for example. It’s felt very chill for me but I bet you have more context with your OSRS background
SleepyPie@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•RuneScape's monthly membership now costs as much as a World of Warcraft subscription as Jagex announces its second price hike in less than 2 yearsEnglish6·21 days agoIt’s definitely not just about raw content. OSRS primarily exists because of the failings of RS3’s monetization and first combat rework.
Both have been MUCH improved now and finally the good of RS3 can shine, primarily the graphical fidelity, UI modernization, and combat that isn’t a pile of engine exploits discovered by players and embraced by devs who were happy to use bugs as features.
RS3 has lots of unique content that OSRS doesn’t have, with better designed bosses (I’m told) and regions like Anachronia. Even OSRS was behind RS3 in content for a long time considering it was an old fork from a previous version that the devs were cautious about updating, so there isn’t a large gap here.
I believe RS3 now has a better foundation than old school, and I suspect there will be a gradual increase in new players (and curious OSRS players) over time. As a new player that’s why I chose it over OSRS at least. I tried both and RS3 just feels way better to play.

Removed all pay to win elements
Removed all loot box and fomo purchases
Added the ability to toggle off other people’s cosmetics in the settings
Removed all “dailies”, “hourlies” and any content that would pressure you to log in or not do the activity you’d rather do
They overhauled the combat system last week to be more intuitive
Are releasing a whole new continent on the 28th to give new players a taste of endgame activities like bossing
The price increase is on the annual subscription, and as a new player I’m letting my monthly sub roll another month. Not saying it doesn’t suck for long-time players but it’s what, another $40 for a game you intend to play for a whole year and will get hundreds of hours out of?
I just started playing RuneScape last month as part of a “group Ironman” and have been having a blast. I want to note this is the new RuneScape and not “Old School”. I honestly think it’s going to surpass OSRS at this rate.

I am at peace knowing the millennial imsorandumxD meme never died and lives on in a more abstract sense with the kids these days 😌

Can’t argue with that, glad you’re enjoying it 👍
Well, now you don’t.
Moving to Debian from Ubuntu was like moving from Windows to Linux again for me. It basically removes all the bloat and adware and just left the things I actually like, which I assume Ubuntu inherited from Debian anyway.
But to be fair I just use my Debian machine for writing projects, research, and flash cards.
I didn’t realize spoiler links were possible and took the bait 🫠
Some people want a revolution and some people want their community fed. These are not mutually exclusive and I’m happy people are doing anything at all instead of hooking themselves up to the short form content IV every night like the vast majority.
It’s absurd to not help someone now because you could also do something highly theoretical and better in the future. Both things should happen.
Busted her ass covering for him for years, viciously insulting and cooking up conspiracies about everyone who criticizes him and now is saying the things everyone has been saying all along.
Better late than never but what the fuck.
