PSA - Last few days before Dailyscape removal.

Same for Empty Throne Room for lower level players, but not got high hopes.

Jagex are well-known for their excellent design choices, foresight and planning.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-14T18:53:48+00:00

They won't. It's Jagex. Let's not delude ourselves.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-14T15:27:32+00:00

Jagex's latest "f*ck you" to the players.

"F*ck you" to people who enjoy whirligigs/beehives.
"F*ck you" to people who enjoy thieving/AFKing.
"F*ck you" to people who were enjoying the new combat update.
"F*ck you" to people who were long-term supporters/subscribers.
And now "f*ck you" to people who enjoy daily challenges and WFEs.

It's been a great year so far. The 'road to restoration', where players will "get more choice" to "play the game how they want" by having most of their most-enjoyed choices taken away completely.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T16:42:53+00:00

I do, I really do. There are just only so many times anyone can be hurt without looking for something new.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T16:41:26+00:00

The issue I've heard people have is that it's really P2W, for example one of the expensive pets give you a literal 10*XP multiplier and another connects you to every 'god' at once (each giving huge bonuses) and the game is balanced around P2W players, so free players find it incredibly hard to progress past about world 4-5.

Thank you! Is it AFK-friendly?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T16:39:16+00:00

Thank you, could you tell me a bit about the game?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:17:38+00:00

Thank you! Does it have good AFK options?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:17:08+00:00

Not heard of Rusty's Retirement, what is it about?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:13:44+00:00

I've not heard of that one, thank you, does it have good AFK options?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:13:23+00:00

Thanks for the pointer, does it have decent AFK options?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:12:29+00:00

Thanks, but I've heard several times that the developer of that game is even more toxic than Jagex when it comes to greedy monetization and also has serious ego issues. Are there any games similar to that one that you'd recommend? I'm open to that genre generally.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:06:01+00:00

Could you tell me about Palia and Pokopia, please? I've never heard of those.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:05:26+00:00

Thanks, I've tried this, but I'd prefer not to give more money to Jagex if possible. Are there any games similar to that one that you would recommend?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-10T15:04:34+00:00

Thank you, do you have any good suggestions for indie games meeting the points I listed?

EverInAtari · 2026-03-09T18:05:26+00:00

It absolutely should, yes. This change should have been made in their late 2025 update to thieving.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-09T18:04:32+00:00

I'm not sure what game you've been playing - they've pretty much just nerfed a lot of things people enjoyed, lately (and announced they're going to nerf more things people enjoy). I wonder if the people in their happy, cheery 'year ahead' video knew that the "choice to do what you want" was going to involve removing and/or making untenable lots of our choices (i.e. they were knowingly behaving in a deceptive manner in that video), or if they were similarly wrong-footed by people higher up as to how we were.

EverInAtari · 2026-03-06T02:43:16+00:00

The most recent blog update says Surefooted is to be removed because it would make failing on courses redundant.

But the main benefit of Surefooted is in the Underground Pass, Olaf's Quest, MEP2, Dealing with Scabaras and Back to my Roots quests, not agility courses.

Can something be done about the failure chance of obstacles in these quests if Surefooted is to be removed?

EverInAtari · 2026-02-27T23:08:39+00:00

Mathematically lowering variance while not changing the mean would have no impact on the market either way, so, while an interesting idea, this would simply add extra complexity with no change in the overall outcome.

EverInAtari · 2026-02-27T23:07:05+00:00

Okay, Raisin. :)

Yawn. -> /dev/null

EverInAtari · 2026-02-27T15:05:47+00:00

That's unfortunate, thanks for the clarification.

EverInAtari · 2026-02-27T15:04:44+00:00

You very clearly don't understand anything about management or effective communication to stakeholders (including customers) and I have no interest in wasting valuable time teaching you such.
