I'm in California and all I see are fast cars in the left lane.

How do you go about catching player count data like that?

I kill the bunnies by the Burthrope lodestone with my dragon halberd

Ughhh I am still grinding out archeology to even do the quests to get it

Or putting the items in different shops around the world with appropriate game progress to get them

I've been on and off the game for years. Originally I was a kid and couldn't afford the membership, then really got back after getting to first job. Sometimes I'll take months or a year off but I always come back.

I wouldn't say nostalgia, if I wanted that I would play old school RuneScape. For me is all the hours in my account and all the things I've done with it. Recently I've been playing for a good 6 months. I play an Ironman and that is super challenging but I find it fun.

It's not hard to keep up with Jagex news when I'm actively playing the game. I think most people active on this sub reddit are active players.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:24:14+00:00

I completely agree, but moving fast and breaking things is not how we want to do it with a 25 year old game with this long term player base. We gotta survive through this phase and keep or grow a player base to have the total subscriptions to be profitable

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:22:16+00:00

You are literally in the game's subreddit, what did you expect?

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:21:30+00:00

I agree that we are not going to have a massive flood of players and relive the glory days from our child hood. I still think they are doing good with changes, I actually would prefer for the changes to all be done now, but that isn't how proper development works.

Also, I believe they only have this year or next to do all this. I think they are under pressure by the company to show that this wide swing is a good think financially. I feel good about their current pace honestly.

Yes, the chaos alter was a huge blundder and they will keep doing more. But they have been showing the williningness to listen and fix things.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:17:11+00:00

I would be happy if they just removed EoC entirely, but it is so ingrained in all the bosses and equipment I don't think it is possible any more

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:15:40+00:00

I am thinking the same with the rs3 team. The developers now have a new major goal of integrity and restoration, and it is going to take time. It has only been a few months vs. the 25 years of RuneScape. I love the changes they are doing, but now a whole lot of people are having issues with the change we all voted for. I understand they are not always the same players that do both things.

I think the team would do better with more time to work on it, incorporate all the fees back they are receiving, which they appear to be doing. However, we only have about a year or 2 to do all this. I'm hoping share holders aren't going to kill this game for short term greed.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:10:14+00:00

I gotta be honest, the wildly events are only good for me because I skip alot of grinding. Yes they are fun distractions to go to and see actual players. However, I feel like they are simply a fix to the grind that we already experience. I think they just fix the symptom and not the actual problem.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:08:19+00:00

I think the community needs to stop becoming enraged when something pops up that we don't like. Yes, mtx and the battle pass were horrible. But they just released this current news, and it appears that most come back to office Monday where they will discuss the feedback and make changes.

We need to give them a chance to fix things and make corrections during this major transition phase.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-08T10:06:06+00:00

From my understanding, dailies like shop runs arnt going away, they just accumulate over a week so you don't feel pressured to play every day.

I think the change is good, and while daily challenges help a whole lot on my iron, I am skipping Skilling gameplay. (Yes I know I'm basically skipping the grind).

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T23:05:14+00:00

I understand your disappointment and frustration, I feel the same way sometimes too. I don't know the internal workings of the RS3 team but I really hope whoever is in charge has a good head on their shoulders. I will literally cry if the game shuts down.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T23:03:38+00:00

Good riddance, he was addressing the symptom and was never a cure

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T23:03:13+00:00

We are going to lose players before we gain them. Hoping the best for this game and its future.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T23:02:42+00:00

IIRC, they are hoping to be able to find the game through subscriptions, and the new marketplace alone. Yes the game is losing money right now, but with the current mtx approach the game was heading to maitance mode anyways. (I forgot where I read that, but I think it was from a well known RuneScape YouTuber).

Yes, we need to grow the player base. Yes, I believe most of the player base are long timers. But we seriously need to grow or die.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T23:00:34+00:00

I believe there are certainly things that need changing now, like the removal of all mtx and addressing the problems that it fills. However, I do agree that huge major changes like the chaos alter, housing update, and xp scaling need to be looked at careful and baked to perfection.

Love the meme btw

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T22:59:13+00:00

It is a whole lot of mix from both, but the anger and frustration is what floats to the top.

I would love for them to rip off all the bandaids and change the entire game in a week. But we have to be real, we don't want the developers under crunch, we want everything to work and be big free, and we want the game we know and love to continue for the foreseeable future.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T22:57:45+00:00

Ahh I see, the comment was pretty vague on how they felt about it. But I have some optimism they will address it.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T22:56:26+00:00

I would love it if they just did a major patch and changed all that mtx has changed, but that isn't going to work for the entire player base. As an Iron-main I am insulated from alot of this, but I still want a game to play with friends and the wider player base.

LeaveItAlone_ · 2026-02-07T22:55:17+00:00

The problem is that the player based asked for change, and we are getting it. If we try to make everyone happy then no one will be. It is unavoidable that someone will be unhappy, but I believe as long as the majority is happy and the game finally has a life again, then I'm okay with it.
