The REAL REASON RuneScape Classic is Closing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- It was just announced the RuneScape classic servers will be closed on the 6th of August 2018, but are we getting the full story as to why? This is a very sad time for the RuneScape classic community, and it would be nice to have more insight into why they servers are being turned off. The problems listed in office post are trivial at best. Jagex is seemly going out of their way to destroy the roots of RuneScape, possibly due to cost cuts.

I had no idea classic was open again. I always missed the time frames when they opened it. I finally logged in today and saw "last logged in 4749 days ago." It was like opening a time capsule.
I recently started OSRS Mobile, checked the age of my account, 6000+ days 🤣 but I never was a member
I just had a 3685 log in from my main that got hacked and banned
That’s wicked lol
It's hard to capture a player base when a game is limited to those who were around for its humble beginnings.
Can't say you're wrong
A very sad day for all 7 of them
Omgg
Lol
sad day for all of us rs players.... only matter of time those cutbacks will affect game you play.

inb4 RSC private server and they fix all the bugs and it gets like 20k players then jagex puts it back lol
RSC Legacy, doesn't have that many players but if anyone gets 20k players it'll be them. They even have mobile support (android).
Syprene yeah came here to say this. The servers the best I've seen. Big community. New content like Clue Scrolls, Bonds, Auction house, etc. Fun server-especially when I'm travelling. I can be in bum fuck nowhere with 1 bar or service and it'll play flawlessly. Used up like no data.
never happening. ever. 20k ppl wont play rsc. Try 20. Also 90% of them will be bots
Nick Langley RSC will never come back. But I could easily see servers becoming significantly larger because of their mobile advantage. The same reason RS became popular. It was an MMORPG that could run on shit internet and grandma's computer. RSC private servers run flawlessly on crappy phones with crappy internet. I've been literally in the middle of nowhere with just enough data to load Google and then waited 10-20 seconds for the next Google result page to load and the games smooth and not laggy. So it has a purpose and I could see it making a small come back if people realized it. It would be more for setting aside 5-10 minutes when you have nothing to do. Quick log in. Do something or kill some things. Log out. The games so simple that I feel it'll work better than the osrs and rs3 mobiles
My point was that if any server gets 20k, it would be rsc legacy. It'll never get close to 20k, it'd be lucky to get 100 active players, but I could see it getting more activity now that rsc is being shut down.
In 2 years they will repoll it.
Can't spell Jagex without EA.
Jeagx.
*E*
It will come back suddenly like you said, and everyone will be like "yay jagex!" And it will bring people back. It's all a money making game. I bet they are already working on an equipment update for it.
There will be riots
I'm just sad about all the OG Rares that people took care of for literally decades that have now vanished
A little late reply, but at least NFTs are coming 😄
There's a good chance it has to do with GDPR compliance for their EU customers. They'd have to go in and add privacy protections to products like Funorb, classic, etc. That would require potentially major features to be built, as well as other compliance measures. Jagex doesn't want to invest developer time into that.
Funny enough if this IS the case Jagex is just being lazy with the announcement, plenty of international companies are publicly acknowledging GDPR as a reason for pulling their products. Maybe the lawyers said "don't mention it". Who knows Jagex is NOT a transparent company.
No matter what the reason people will complain. Who cares about a game with a handfull of people playing? I bet 99,99% of the complainers and whiners never play RSC themselves and just whine because they have nothing better to do
@@sirwillypeckerson7674 it was fun, I do like how they added dueling into rs3.
Pretty good theory actually
I don't play rsc but I love learning about it and seeing content from it in people's videos when they talk about the history. From my perspective it's like they're shutting down a living Museum and that make me sad
Skaveria Rawr xD
Skaveria will you please be my gf?
lol that was adorable for some reason. Yew littel cewtie :o
"Botting has no effect on anything"
Half the chat you show in the vid is "Swapping osrs for rsc money".
IF the client is writing and reading important files that contain information having to do with the function of the game, then it could indeed spawn new bugs that were not originally in the code if any of these config files get corrupted. It IS possible for bugs to form and evolve over time if IO is involved. Also you shouldn't assume that someone could hack the classic servers and not gain access to other Jagex's servers. Its entirely possible. But I do agree that it sucks they decided to end it.
Aaah....RuneScape Classic, i got onto the game as a young lad, managed to get a bronze kiteshield, chain chest, basic helm and a sword, then i went to fight a Camel and lost, then i never played it again, good times.
"Taken for granite..."
Nathan Vaughn when you know someone plays way too much RS lol
I heard that too
Steven Assanti that requires 50 attack.
Steven Assanti bro it’s “taken for granted” not granite 😂
ItsTommy *Whoosh*
His joke went right over your head.
RSCRevolution is a private server that will not shutdown any time soon.
This is completely unfair. When runescape 2 came out we were given the option to keep our items on classic, or import then to runescape 2. All of my holiday items are on classic due to this decession. Will everything just disappear, or will they allow us what's rightfully ours to be transferred to the main game?
Many of us worked years on these accounts, it's very unfair to just let all of this go. I believe compensation is in order, at mininum in resemblance to what happened when darkscape closed.
I agree transferring items may destroy economy, but I believe there must be a solution that will make everyone happy.
Ah they'll just let you loose on RS3 with 50 free keys. Just try not to get bored of it when you max your character on the third month.
Terrible Tanner That will not make me happy lol
Jagex probably doesn't care. "Take it or leave it." They'll maybe [just maybe] chuck in a free month's membership to entice the 12 players of RSC.
Nah. Probably won't. What's 12 players worth? Roughly £60 a month? I'm surprised they even bothered warning people about RSC closing before they pull the plug.
Terrible Tanner I guess we get NOTHING
Did it take you two months to write that? What happened?
(correct me if im wrong) But wasnt jagex purchased by a chinese company? Thats probably the main reason...... The team probably cared about keeping classic on, however, I think their investors may have tightened the noose on their heads to eliminate these certain points they had brought to their attention.
bingo
That's my thought as well.
This would make too much sense
If shit don't make profit it gets tossed in the bin
The fact the company is Chinese is irrelevant beyond pushing MTX (since that is culturally normalized in east asia). There are moneygrubbing suits in every industry and in every country.
“Even if they were all botters”
There comes a time when you’re forced to move on from a game you love, and it’s always sad to see it go. However, this statement further makes me agree with Jagex’s decision. RSC didn’t have a community. It had botters.
RSC had a massive community before they closed it off to members only. Then they started hiding the servers on the main site and kept newer players from trying it out. You can't blame RSC, the game had solid mechanics to be successful had Jagex not starved it out.
the botting community is very much alive and they do play the game legitly from time to time. If they are getting paid, wats the problem exactly?
@@avatarion this late but yes your 100 percent correct jagex wanted to kill off runescape classics to force players to rs2, as when rs2 came out only 68 percent of the player base jumped over, for jagex that wasn't good enough. So they started to hide runescape classics links to the servers on the main page so new players wouldn't see rsc as a option. Then they restricted who could make accounts and play the game which was the final nail in the coffin.
I started RS when classic first came out in 2001, I played RS ever since then. Classic had a great run and it will definitely be missed and remembered as one of the best games ever to come to this life.
I was thinking about hopping on runescape as i do every few years just to check things out... sad to hear runescape is no more. I was one of the first players ever- i came over from games domain anticipating the Runescape Launch. was one of the first 30 characters. Me and a friend were the ones who constructed the concept of Monk pures w/ 1 defense, we created that trend- anyhow its sad to see a piece of my childhood gone. Farewell runescape- it was fun!!
Wow. Classic is piece of history, super sad day. I feel a little devastated for some reason.
shit.. didn't even know it was still playable...
Justin Ls LOL
That’s why I play RSC Revolution. It’s had a lot of updates so it kinda feels like OSRS with slayer and stuff
I'm still happy that you can play RSC. RSCRevolution is still up and running, really nice one :)
Your channel is underrated. Keep going with it dude. Love the videos!
Honestly I feel like it's more of an issue of the server classic is running on. The game itself has been exploited with packet edits, hence the bearded women but what if someone found something more dangerous? The game might show a backdoor into their systems and that could be catastrophic if exploited. Worse yet it might even be used to effect other players. The game is just too old to host on a network as it is now. They would need to isolate it and keep it from talking to any other devices. While that fixes issues on their end, it doesn't protect their player base.
a backdoor into their systems. lol.
Beta Male you must still run windows xp
Might =/= will, you dumbfuck.
@@Masterofchodes Sounds like a bunch of made up bs so ppl won't complain.
Thanks man, I work in a gaming company and everything that you said is very logical, I am impressed and subbed
I started in classic and missed y chance to play it again, thou I would like to thank you for just happening to show someone talking about a private server in this vid. Now when I AFK train in RS3, I can relive my days of playing classic in middle school
I was literally considering starting this morning...
Sakura same
Its still going on until august
You can't just start whenever. You would've had to have played it before or when they opened the servers for any members to join. Other wise your out of luck
The last time they opened it they never closed it, so any member account can log in and play - even if they never touched it before
You can still play rsc even on mobile. Search up Rscrevolution then download it
Your first point, botters aren't harming anyone. I have to say, I had a RSC acount post 2007 and I wanted to play fair but botters would often ruin my experience either by botting in my location or just the fact that they gain an unfair advantage over me. But yeah, I haven't played RSC in many years now.
Okay so pretty sure one doesn't know much about network management.
A 'static' environment for an online game doesn't exist. You can't freeze the state of your game infrastructure, even if you don't update it, because protocols keep changing as well, and that can't remain unchanged or you'll not be able to contact at all.
The real reason why RSC is closing, is because they need the money. Saying 'RSC makes ~2.000 dollars per month' isn't true, because people don't pay separately for RSC. This money already goes to the main game revenue, and the bot accounts just play on RSC (Because Rs3/OSRS bans don't apply to RSC, so basically, RSC is 'botany bay', the only zone botter accounts can go to after botting on RS3.
Classic in its prime was amazing. The empty servers now do not represent at all how it was.
Yup, it was like a swarm of ants everywhere. In 2001-2004 I never felt even remotely alone.
Just a note from the technical side of why they may be closing it. While it's true that "code doesn't change" there can be bugs that appear due to many different things. It could be that they host the game on an old server machine. I've had software running for years without issue suddenly stop working because of a bug in windows scheduler that didn't run overnight. Backups randomly stop working, updates randomly don't run, maintenance randomly doesn't happen. There's so much stuff that could be required to keep the game running that is non-code based. The system NEEDS security / windows updates to avoid being hacked (it's internet accessible afterall) but those same systems get bricked from Windows updates. It's not just 1 server, they need a test server to run updates and verify everything. Pretty soon you end up with a list of updates you can and can't use and you have to filter through them all testing each one when it doesn't work. Every time you run updates / change something you need to run through a testing procedure to verify the original code still works. If they are using other old software (mysql?) in tandem those must also be tested. Old tech just doesn't talk to new tech in an office environment. If they are moving their third party programs to SaaS solutions (cloud) then suddenly this old server is a liability. Both from an infrastructure perspective and a security perspective. You also need to employ somebody who knows how to administer it.
Don't forget they tried to shutdown Runelite, from what I heard was OSB paid Jagex, but Runelite was free and had close to equal users with OSB, so this definitely plays into what you were talking about maximizing profits. Of course that failed from lash back. Although the closure of all those other projects makes sense, they just died out overtime
nubpwnsu They didnt like RuneLite being open source as the code can be used to make malicious content and script.
They gave them the greenlight may want to not believe everything your CC tells you.
If they shut down rsc then why won’t they shut down all those private servers that are literally causing money loss to RuneScape in general
How do you envision this going? The #1 private server gets taken down, and then what? You think those players are gonna be like " Oh Jagex~ looks like you got us! Guess i'm back to playing retail, lemme just buy that membership! " ...
The only money Jagex " loses" is in the hands of people who aren't gonna spend on Retailscape anymore, or who like the game but want a different experience since Both OSRS and RS3 are completely stale games
@@riplix20 You're right but i think theres still going to be a small portion of people going to go to the real game
Some guy walked up and gave some random low level and I each 1mil literally yesterday on osrs and told us to keep being awesome.
actually almost got a tear in my eye from this. This should be saved. Cuz it is an awsome game still and its history which needs to be kept.
man, it sucks they are closing. i fancied going back to it sometime when i had the time :(
People who just started Runescape classic 2 days after the closing of the game: *”I’m gonna miss this game, it’s been with me for a long time”*
You mean before?
in school we used to talk about a place where we could find a thing called rune all over the ground from dead people. Then it turns out that it was a big dragon and we all died. Great stories so sad.
I played this game when I was 6 I remember you used to use a sleeping bag to refresh your character every know and then , pure nostalgia
8:50 audio jump. Idk if it was something that became too hard to fix
Finally someone makes the connection between the closure of funorb and RSC around the exact same time, both peanuts compare to the main games. These consultations with their legal team sounds like a really plausible idea.
been playing since 2002. I wish they didnt get rid of it. I never switched my items over to RS2 cause i didnt really like it at first and my red phat was still on my classic account. Loved the look of rares on classic
damn that story is tragic.... rest in pixels..
In response to this, i proceeded to make my first ever classic account. I feel guilty for not doing this sooner.
Thinmint The Monkey not sure if they’ve opened it up for account creations lately, Was awhile ago since they did, I think like 09, I really need to check and see if I can login also, play a little and make some quick vids
Shanty Town I could. Do it, see what's up.
Thinmint The Monkey yee I just checked, still works for me, I’m like lvl26, the struggle is real
Hahaha, well to be fair i JUST started classic so im only level 4.
"Closing Funorb" Funorb hasn't worked for years now. It's practically already closed.
Now I want to go back and play this :(
How does private servers compare with the live RSC?
an Awesome video, informing why and what decision were made. :D
Thanks man (:
My oldest cousin started on Runescape classic way back in the day and got my other cousin and I into RS2 on release. I got into it at that time and have played with varying degrees of intensity over the years. If one day (hopefully long down the road) OSRS gets shut down I'll build my own private server at home for the nostalgia. Not a copy hosted online but one for me. The ULTIMATE Iron man.
haha that would be sick!
is this game back???? where can i find itttttt please tell me i miss classic soooo much
are you saying that you can use rs classic as an secret chatroom?
I don't care much for rs classic but does jagex think people are dumb ? The reasons they gave for shutting it down make zero sense. Game breaking bugs lol..just sigh....Jagex should cut the bs for once in their life.
makchamp yep. The answer in Legalese.
I started on classic. Private servers are still around, but still.
The game was broken, someone bugged the crystal chest to a state were it was always open. Meaning uncut dragonstones were impossible to get in game. And thats just the tip of the iceberg
MagmaPants I'm curious what else there is that's new and game breaking. Not for my gain, I don't play anymore. Just wondering
Thats about all i know for massive bugs, A Friend made a video on it along time ago
MagmaPants Nothing has changed for years on RSC. Servers slowly getting random bugs like mobs becoming unattackable or blocking paths, but you just hop worlds if you come across something and keep playing. Even the dragonstone problem wasn't that major imho because there's no new accounts coming in and high levels already had as many as they needed. Jagex could have shut down RSC in 2016 or even 2006 for the reasons they gave here.
Feels real sad since the Friends List links to all three games. And now, you will have just a little less friends online since they only played RSC.
I wonder if we can get some kind of poll like how oldschool was to be brought back, just to get a general idea of how many people would still want something like this.. rather than just cutting it off :\
iIunderstand the other stuff like fun orb but i don't think from a community standpoint that you should kill the roots of the main game.
I wonder if a private server like that really old 2006 private server will pop up and try to replicate rs1, but like you said jagex is greedy and they would take something like that off the market if they found out it had potential..
I love the idea of making rs1 a single player game, just the genuine facts like how paul's mom is making bacon and that became the sound of cooking really make the game feel like something a little closer to home rather than some development teams filters coming into play.
Sad to see the end of an era, but maybe we will see a return in the future; in one shape or another.
F
The moment you said RSC only made 2000 a month, they should have shut it down years ago from a business perspective. They were kind enough to keep a game mode and servers open to only like 100 people. They should have shut it down ages ago. But people only cry about toys when someone says they can T have it anymote
in my opinion, runescape classic should be either...
A. Open-sourced.
B. f2p using a dedicated server system (players hold their own servers) that stores player data using SQLite.
or C. both.
The bug thing is an issue. They aren't saying that a new bug will be created. They mean discovered. When they stop supporting software, you end up with non fixed bugs getting discovered.
Really sad...
I started in 07 playing Runescape. And I am back into the game with OSRS and even exceeded my original account I made as a kid.
Scares me to think that OSRS could shut down eventually...
GOD DAMMIT!!! I just started playing it earlier this year and they already wanna take it down!! WHY ON THE INTERNET DO PEOPLE ALWAYS GET RID OF THE BEST STUFF???!!!
there's quite a few people from OG RSC that are now on RSC Vanilla 👍
I haven't personally played the game before, but I just booted it up today and I found it pretty cool. I don't want to see this go...
It's hard to read these comments here and still give a damn about the game. Watching people argue OSRS vs RS3 is like watching people argue over Xbox and PlayStation. Who the fuck cares? Both platforms and both games benefit from the other group being there. Just appreciate the fact that players of both games are supporting the company running your preferred version of RuneScape.
great video and classic was the best i miss those days!
Came back to play rs classic only to find its shutdown, im devastated.
This makes me so sad. =(
Whatever the specific reason is, I think we can all agree it comes down to money in some form. whether it's them trying to trim down the fat of their portfolio for investors, protecting some sort of vulnerability they fear would somehow effect the playerbase and cause lawsuits, or just not wanting the few resources still being put into it "wasted".
It's the end of an era and I'm sad to see it go, even if I didn't play.
First club penguin now this. 🙁
Tiny correction @5:43, Jagex only developed Ace of Spades, they didn't make it. They picked it up a year after its release
Damn fun orb was the shit I miss armies of Gielinor
Is the source code available
Its a better idea to close the rs3 servers.
marlb0r015 all bots there too
Leon S Not really, i botted for 20 mins after i got banned on rs3, i had a bot running for a whole day on osrs.
Ur shit at bottling then xd
I'm just gonna copy and paste this off another reply:
Just a brief breakdown, back in I believe 2013 when the OSRS servers were being polled, 449k voted for OSRS servers to be returned. You would've gotten a small team for development, $5 more in membership charges, basic maintenance, a chance to get any form of anti-bot updates and no polls for future content.
Instead of all that, simply because a lot of people completely uninterested in the game still decided to vote for those who were interested to benefit, Jagex decided to have update polls, anti-bot upgrades and not add an extra $5 to play OSRS. Also although unmentioned on the poll link, it's not a small team assigned to dealing with OSRS it is it's own development team.
Basically, because of the support from the thousands of RS3 players with 0 interest in OSRS as well as people that simply don't care about the game anymore, you have servers that don't cost extra to enjoy while also having gotten more then originally promised.
To add, the membership cost is the exact same for access to both games, so simply having let's say 20k players more doesn't mean OSRS is the one providing more for the company. To add onto that point, bots in RS3 are significantly more rare then OSRS. Sure OSRS has a bigger player base, but a LOT of that is bots. The gold is worth more to RWT, it's easier to get away with botting, it's easier for bots to function on OSRS, etc. I'm fairly positive you could go to nearly any bot hot spot on OSRS, then go to the same spot on RS3 and find next to none.
Now one last point, not only does RS3 and OSRS share a membership cost making it that they both support each other on relatively equal terms not counting the thousands of bots constantly online which likely does more harm then good. But RS3 also has MTX which I'm sure brings in a LARGE portion of the companies income/profit and considering it's only in RS3, it's safe to assume RS3 brings in significantly more profit then OSRS ever will.
So uh, you know. No it's not, "Kinda funny how old school rs is Jagex's future." It's kinda funny how the same version of the game people like you consistently talk shit about is the only reason the game continues to exists while also having many of the people who helped people like you avoid a larger membership cost.
But hey, feel free to start a petition to get RS3 and OSRS split into different subscriptions. I know RS3 will be fine without the people unwilling to pay for both versions of the game thanks to MTX, but I don't know if I could say the same about OSRS losing I'd guess around at the absolute minimum 1/3rd of its income.
Swiggity Swoogity I'm Coming For your Memes , funny my friend and i both made new accounts, botted them to max, got multiple 200m’s and we aint banned, maybe you used bad rs3 scripts?
RS Classic shuts down on my birthday. As a veteran of RS who started in RuneScape class (previously was known as just RuneScape) it's one hell of a birthday. Now I never realized they're shutting down ace of spades and chronicles? I closed beta tested chronicles, as well as transformers universe, but ace of spades was bought out from an open source project, so if they are shutting it down, they're making a mistake.
Shitty to say the least. Yeah what happened with Ace of Spades is really unfortunate too. I played the open source version with friends way back before Jagex purchased it, and now ultimately killed it. I feel bad for the devs
one day the main game and old school will be on the chopping block... but that's still years away
did anyone else almost go into tears when they saw that it is closing?
Yeah. That's how hard i was laughing.
No because I'm not a pussy
not realy never realy looked back on it..and i played the game for so many years.
Jeffrey Pell oh you are
If they never shut down the rsc f2p servers, then classic would still be booming. Rsc pking was intense and a totally different experience compared to the main game. A private server admin said he made 100k off selling items and subscriptions, so the money was there. Jagex isnt loyal to their fanbase like the fans are loyal to the game. Thats why rs is dead now. World 1/2 isnt even full 24/7 like it used to. Many people have said that if rsc opened f2p servers again private servers wouldnt exist.
Sad but true
That right there sir is bull shit
Rip Nostalgia.....
while going on the chat stuff you seem to be ignoring the chat updates the rs3 team is working on
"I wanna see maxed accounts so i bot..." not a valid reason. If they truly enjoyed RSC they would work their ass off just like the rest of us. I'm sad to see RSC go, but botters did ruin the experience for me when I played it.
Not true. Just because they don't play the game in the same fashion as you does not indicate a lack of genuine enjoyment. Their enjoyment of the game can come from the history they've had with the game, the sub-community they are currently apart of, or whatever else. The valid reason for botting is that it isn't against the rules since rules no longer became enforced. I'm sure people like Eraserhead truly enjoyed RSC more than you, despite him deciding to bot for specific goals/reasons. In fact, one can even say that because the RSC experience was ruined for you in the first place, that you in fact don't enjoy rsc as much as they do. And there would be no genuine metric to discern between the two interpretations.
In short, this is subjective. And trying to pass off your subjective opinion as an objective metric to deem the "true" subjective preferences of others is silly.
Botting is a cheat, If you truly want to experience any game, You are going to work for it, Botting your way up is not a way to enjoy the game.
I agree with what you say about the bugs "issue." That's BS. Like you said, code doesn't decay over time. It's not like RuneScape is like a car that decays on its own if it's not maintained. And if they're using the same infrastructure, I see no reason why they can't fix any bugs that do come up. If anything, this should be the most patched, stable release of RuneScape. It's definitely because of cutbacks or something, like you say. They simply don't want to devote any time to maintaining RuneScape Classic any longer.
I literally had no idea classic servers were even still available. No wonder there are barely any players.
the gold on rsc is worth something cos there's swapping services/selling services on sythe
What a shame :( I feel sorry for the guys still playing.
Now imagine the guy named Rob is the first top 6 Registered player still playing classic...
Correction, Jagex didn’t make Ace of Spades. They bought it back in 2012.
I was just thinking about playing again.
will OSRS like the 317 be still available or just the trashy new servers?
RIP Classic
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!
Jagex should consider selling the game to players. (not the rights to the game or anything, but as any other game)
James Zabor sell it on steam :)
Farther down in the post they said they're changing hardware, so that's what they are taking about when they mention game breaking bugs in the future
Suprised this isnt a seers video with that title lol
They already did this once in....2012?...sometime around there. They removed classic, then brought it back as members only and you could only create an account during certain periods. If they really do get rid of it, they just need to release the source code for people to keep it alive themselves, but who knows if they ever do that.
I guess I'll just play one of the classic private servers instead. XD
I didn't know that there was still classic servers alive. Thought that osrs was the oldest alive version.
I mean it's unfortunate but not really surprising to be honest. R.I.P. classic, hope to see you all on OSRS or RS3
what i really think: Jagex is selling out
There are alreadyprivate servers of RSC, been there a loooong time ago, much more alive and populated...
Even though runescape classic will be gone in the next 3 months. the cupboard in nurse sarahs house in west ardounge remained open. and I actually don't think it was possible to reobtain the doctors gown after completing the quest biohazard. that's what I've thinked about back then
I doubt Classic has much shared code, except inter-server chat and login, with OSRS or RS3. Jagex should open-source the rest of that, or failing that release the server binary closed-source. That way people could make officially-licensed private servers.
Crumb actually I've seen on all RS's generous guys like week ago some guy gave me 5m (RS3) which was really nice because I was poor as hell and some months ago got around 2m (OSRS) and both cases were by completely random players trading me and I think the RS community as a whole is amazing.
So how long until runescape oldschool gets shut down.
Reason I don't play much anymore is because I feel like someday all my work will just disappear....
Very well reasoned video and probably true. Liabilities etc etc
I recently started playing osrs after quitting several years of playtime into rs2 before the evolution of combat made me quit.
I've only had an account for less than a week and extremely generous friendly people have given me over 6 mil in total just 'cause they wanted to help me out
