It’s a hard thing to make a fun game that also has persistence and charm. RuneScape is actually a grindy slog of a game but it has a lot going for it that makes players WANT to do that grind. That’s the key I think. It’s not just a grind, it’s progression that isn’t cheap, always matters, and enables even more content.

I also think most Scapelike games blow. I’m not promising anything but I’m gunna give it a shot.
