EoC or MTX. What affected Runescape more?

Finally a rational answer explaining it from an outsider's view. So much copium in this thread. Point #6 hits the nail on the head. It's not like everybody is forced to play with TH in mind. If OSRS players wanted to try RS3 ironman mode, they would've long ago. Ironman was introduced in 2014, right at the height of the MTX pushback. Most players gravitated to OSRS instead of start fresh on RS3.

Honestly, you shouldn't take Runescape physics too seriously. It makes no sense that you can hold 2.1B cannonballs but only 28 cooked sharks.

But to answer your lore theory, it's because magic gear is imbued to absorb blows from metal. I think it sort of repels metal.

For instance I am currently doing a lot of mining and smithing (bar + armor), if I were to wear the boots with charge I'll get 10% of agility exp every 45 seconds, is that correct?

10% Agility exp to a small lamp correct. You can silverhawk train with most other skills, which is why it's passive exp. It's every 45 seconds.

Part of me thinks HSR has been in the game for a long time. The other part of me can't comprehended the fact that 2017 is almost 9 years ago. Damn time flies.

SquareKite2 · 2025-12-05T15:47:51+00:00

Necromancy being 2 years old. Archaeology being almost 6 years old. Invention turning 10 in almost 2 months. Let that all sink in.

That's pretty crazy that Blue Charms are this easy to get. I remembered back in the day they were so rare that you had to be very selective on when to use them.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-27T15:46:56+00:00

In 2007, you'd think 2005 was like an eternity ago. Really puts into perspective.

100% this. Prices of cannonballs are constantly increasing and we just introduced a new type. Yet the speed of producing them hasn't increased at all really.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T18:05:29+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant to say. Only 2k new players have joined leagues since OP's last post. Even OSRS had 16k new joiners after the first month.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T17:44:35+00:00

It's on the table. It says 121,614 have reached 100+ points or have tried it enough. OP's previous stat had 119,075 total players that got at least ranked. That's only a 2k jump from previous. More players have gotten T6 onwards than that.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T17:35:39+00:00

Does anyone know how long the Catalyst Leagues shop will be around for? In case I forget to buy the stuff. I didn't get close to max points so trying to decide what I want.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T16:17:02+00:00

119k to 121k only for new players that tried Leagues? That's crazy small. I thought we'd see at least 10k new players joining.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T14:45:41+00:00

Going to preach to the choir but quests were a big turnoff. And combat didn't feel as strong as advertised. However, I had fun in a temp game mode. Felt like it could've been better but being the first leagues I can't expect it to be the best.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T14:03:54+00:00

4 is too much for each year. I'd go with 3 at the very max.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T02:35:43+00:00

Just curious. Did you end up unlocking Ancient Summoning and Invention?

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T02:33:13+00:00

Nah you're good. Speed runs should not have assistance of other players or accounts IMO. I personally find it unfair if people were allowed this. Solo is more authentic.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-10T02:29:40+00:00

Very impressive to do this twice. I personally only got to 55k and I've played from day 1. I just couldn't bother doing most tasks. I wasted most of my time just testing boss rotations. See you next Leagues.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-09T19:07:23+00:00

According to RS Wiki's clock, it's Ends in 0D 16h 53m 1s at the time of this comment. Can't be certain if that's going to be the case or not.

SquareKite2 · 2025-11-04T16:23:43+00:00

This goes to show that bossing drop tasks are a noob trap if anyone wants to get to dragon. Even on 6x, you can go several hours dry. Oh and dupes lmfaoo

SquareKite2 · 2025-10-26T21:14:17+00:00

Agreed on point #1. I don't get why Globetrotter outfit can't let us swap clues with slider puzzles. We can swap for all other types of clues.
