But the lizard looks so unserious, my family thinks it’s untrustworthy 🤷

(I went with Debian in the end and we love it)

Oh I’m not even arguing that the price increase has a justification.

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 🤷

Hey maybe it’s changed a lot in the last year. 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

It’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.

I also want to note that they’ve just:

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 😌

I’ve been a paid protonmail user for years. What should I use instead?

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.
