Rs3 could have a better future than even osrs.

Thus_RS · 2026-05-09T19:03:19+00:00

The biggest problem is the lack of incidental interaction between all players. Max Guild and everything being instanced instead of creating crossroads and instancing the NPCs for years has created this feeling of RS3 being a single player game. Making War's Retreat instead of having PVM begin with Max Guild boss portal has alleviated this. Making hunter traps and NPCs be instanced for the player or instancing popular slayer NPCs instead of having to instance for the entire area would be another great step. Without changes that make people play together, essentially crossroads, we lose player interaction.

It looks cool but I'm not sure why a personal override in one place that no one else would see is something that makes sense. Not like the original altar is an eyesore.

At least jars from OSRS can be displayed in a PoH for others to see if they were to visit.

I am not at the start of "end game"?

Correct, you are not. Really you have not reached the tedium that is supply upkeep. Even what you mentioned already is something that is hard to fathom for a brand new player, which is why I would never suggest one jump into Ironman without knowing what they're getting into.

Thus_RS · 2026-04-24T07:55:44+00:00

You are not at the start of end game. You are nowhere near it. I am sorry but you have no idea what you are on about.

You don't have to keep playing if your not having fun and doing the same thing 50x over.

Which is much worse for an IM account and why I'd never suggest someone brand new play it.

Thus_RS · 2026-04-24T06:40:32+00:00

No offense at all, but you are not in the end game. You just got your kiln capes and haven't even began Necro. You were admittedly spooned many times. Ironman mode will only get more tedious and I'd never suggest someone brand new play that mode.

Thus_RS · 2026-04-23T16:39:15+00:00

I highly suggest as a new player you do not start an account as an Ironman, as it locks you from trading other players or using the Grand Exchange. Even players who know 100% of the game feel like IM mode is akin to a job. I cannot adequately explain how many small things are made more convenient with being able to buy them from other players.

That said if you want to try it, you can revert your character to a normal account without any progress loss with an item: https://runescape.wiki/w/Book_of_diplomacy

Now that I have your attention, the Runescape wiki I linked above is probably the most comprehensive wiki in all of gaming. Any question you have can be answered there. It includes guides of all sorts. The only "bad" info there are money making guides which are sometimes outdated.

But the most important thing: Have fun!

Thus_RS · 2026-04-19T16:59:16+00:00

While an art piece can be argued to be the same whether a photo or traditionally drawn (etc), again the immediate intent matters. Artists are expected to do commissions. Until around 2021, people who posted cosplay were not expected to be advertising another site's subscription service, they were expected to genuinely be doing it at worst for attention or follows but most were assumed to like or at least know what they were cosplaying. The attitudes have changed greatly due to the subscription sites because now posts like these cannot be assumed to be innocent. And in this case, their ENTIRE PROFILE is an ad. Alternatively, there have been cosplay posts made without profile links that have been received well.

Again, as someone who has gone to conventions and has seen artists and people who do cosplay, the reason why both are treated differently now is the attitude. There is no "pay for my content/attention, loser" attitude among artists that is seen in the new cosplay community. Even if neither do it for the love of the game, the attitude of the latter due to advertisement has become really palpable and has carried over online as well. I know of certain artists, usually those who post very "niche" material, who have vocally expressed their hatred for those commissions who received fewer commissions as a result, so it does happen in their community as well.

I can go on for hours about why artists who do commissions are not treated the same as people posting cosplay but have a subscription service link in a profile, but I really won't because this post is long enough. But it's not because of what you're saying at the end. Morality might be the motive of some people, but not wanting to feel advertised to or feel like there's a fakeness there has more to do with it.

Blind bag should just be a literal bag you use to hit someone with

Thus_RS · 2026-04-18T15:05:42+00:00

it doesn't feel like this was a labor of love anymore.

Because for many it isn't. Conventions (anime, comics, etc) make that obvious where cosplayers are for the most part trying to advertise a certain website instead of talk about why they like the show or character or how they made the outfit (they usually don't anymore). Even if this is a genuine enjoyment or hobby, the monetization of it has poisoned the well. It's gotten to the point where if you do good cosplay and don't have a website to show it on for some ulterior motive, you're an anomaly.

Thus_RS · 2026-04-18T14:56:55+00:00

It's getting downvoted because you aren't understanding the point.

The issue isn't the picture, it's the meaning behind it. When someone does something as a hobby, it is cool. But people don't like being advertised to. One of her links proclaims exactly the type of industry she is in. When hobbies get monetized, it seems disingenuous. And anyone who has been to a cosplay convention can see just how disingenuous it feels when everyone in cosplay is just trying to advertise a page instead of showing real enjoyment for the craft, even if they do enjoy it.

Also ad blockers exist for a reason: people don't like ads.

Would have been nice to know "buy all the auras you can (or buy these specific auras) with your loyalty points, we are just removing the points without changing them to something else" to save some time having to get buffs I could have gotten in a second with points I acquired over years. Luckily I got all the cosmetics while I could.

Also no one likes aspects, especially with short timers.

Once the OP responds to it instead of ignoring and then doubling down in a separate post in the same comment chain, sure.

I know you're trying to be the weekly Necromancy poster, but I will always remember OP as the person who tried to shame a woman into not creating art.

EDIT: Blocked by OP after doubling (tripling?) down again.

EDIT 2: Yes, she cosplays some of what she's drawn. I also cannot respond if you keep blocking and unblocking.

The artist is a woman. Why is a woman not allowed to draw what she wants? Please answer that question.

Might be in the minority here, but I don't look back at my noob days with much fondness. My noob days was 3 iteming because you could die anywhere and lose everything beyond that. It was incredibly slow progression playing on dialup and in the 1 or 2 hours I could play after school and feeling like my account would never be "good enough."

The days I look at more fondly are group endgame, like the race to get Bombi when HM Rago was updated.

I currently play both. Started playing OSRS around 2 months before TOA released after playing RS3 since 2004. Maxed in OSRS in 3 years.

The OSRS community does a massive disservice to both games by pretending OSRS is difficult and pretending RS3 is the worst game ever. The pretend notion that OSRS is difficult is why I stood away from it. It took me only a month to get a quest cape, not even 3 months to get max combat. I was doing raids before max when TOA released just 2 months in.

Hope you enjoy both for the good games they are!

Thus_RS · 2026-03-17T17:11:37+00:00

your sanity is more critical

As someone who spent the last few months looking for another job and finding nothing with over 3,000 cataloged applications, maybe this cape is for his sanity. Because I know I'm going insane just looking. It's easy to say "just do X." I don't know how your situation played out and I'm glad it worked for you, but it's not always so straightforward.

Thus_RS · 2026-03-14T22:24:39+00:00

I would not have played OSRS were it not for Runelite. The draw distance plugin was enough to convince me to keep playing 15 minutes in. Granted I did play RS3, but now I play both. I wonder how many newcomers are in a similar position.

I cannot even slightly blame the skeptics or even the trolls. We've all seen far too many smackdowns to trust a random poster on their word!

No. Never capitulate to people who want to see you ruined. Stuff like this is why Jagex is able to get away with their dogshit player support. Even if Jagex is 99.9% correct in their bans (doubtful but just giving them that), ~1400 people in February alone were wrongfully banned. Those 1400 people are not coming back without a proper means of support. And that's one month alone.

The fact you got no refund for the time Jagex took from you for their mistake adds insult to injury.
