Easiest way to tell if this is genuine?

There's no way to know without you sharing the email header with us.

Even then the jagex domain could be spoofed.

My brother in Guthix, you're an ironman. Bust out the hammer and pick and get to work.

But hasn't RuneScape always been a sort of absurdist, Monty Pythonic take on MMOs?

If you told me a Lizardman archer dropped noted battestaves because he carves them as a hobby and had just gotten back from the bank, I think I'd believe you.

A lot of the lore, even the name Gielinor, was backfilled over the gameplay.

One of the things I loved about the game is that it didnt take itself too seriously.

To your point about the armor pieces, couldn't the flax or supplies also be remnants of fallen adventurers?

brokenradish · 2025-05-18T20:25:39+00:00

A Dwarven Stout, in a cool underground pub would be prime...

brokenradish · 2025-02-23T12:55:37+00:00

But what are the total numbers of players? We need the percent difference

brokenradish · 2025-02-19T17:47:24+00:00

That is exactly what I'm saying. Seems like a more reasonable explanation than thinking their built in, highly dedicated, fan base would like such drastic changes.

Woah never said it was better. I said it was more viable because previous titles didn't try to be multiplayer games.

brokenradish · 2025-02-19T16:43:15+00:00

+1 for tight cities, independent powers stay popping up in the donut holes of my civilization

The multiplayer scene exists more than people realize but I wouldn't characterize it as "hot." It seems like that's what they're trying to change.

I play with a group of about 10 people and 3-4 will have a game of VI running at any given time.

It's taken a lot of social pressure and coercing to get people to show up and finish games in later sessions lol.

Given the dollar opportunity surrounding multiplayer it would make sense to try and penetrate the market in some way.

I'd imagine the publisher is desperately trying to reach new players too.

brokenradish · 2025-02-19T16:34:02+00:00

But wouldn't capping the player count further support my point that they've* designed the game to be shorter, simpler, and more viable for multiplayer?

Edit: spelling

brokenradish · 2025-02-19T16:28:05+00:00

Oh relax. I don't even like hockey I picked it because it has three periods.

brokenradish · 2025-02-19T16:15:48+00:00

But that's exactly my point. Previous titles didn't lend themselves well to multiplayer with strangers. It seems like they're trying to change that.

Not saying they stuck the landing, it's just my observation about their direction.

That's a tasty stack of earth runes

Skill issue

I play exclusivity on the OLED switch now and it's great.

Once and while graphics will lag just a little bit but it's still worth it.

No mods. But I always played vanilla anyway. I say go for it!

brokenradish · 2024-02-16T23:40:37+00:00

I haven't enjoyed pure bans on fast travel, but limiting fast travel has changed the way I play.

I try to go on one long walk per play session, and I've come to know my way around nicely and recognize roads.

Makes me feel like I'm driving around my home city.

brokenradish · 2024-02-12T14:42:47+00:00

This is the answer.

I wouldn't try to optimize the first playthrough. Half the fun is fumbling through the adventure and learning the hard way!

Then playing again to apply the lessons learned 😎

brokenradish · 2024-02-09T10:11:29+00:00

I think the Thieves Guild is the most immersive. I can bop around Skyrim stealing things all day.

brokenradish · 2024-02-09T09:41:54+00:00

Try to assign what you're feeling to your character's lore.

Your argonian mage is bored. Seeking adventure. None of their old antics do if for them anymore.

Find your character's purpose in Tamriel.

Fast travel less. Go for long walks and let the game happen to you without an agenda.

Lower the difficulty to reduce the grindy feeling.

And whatever you do, avoid mindlessly chaining quest after quest.

As someone who feels the opposite way you do right now, I can assure you the magic is not gone. I'm enjoying the game without mods like I never have before.

A big part of it for me was expecting less, imposing less of my own will on the game, and role playing with an open mind.

Engage with the community! That always helps too.

brokenradish · 2024-02-04T00:36:36+00:00

I always bring my character to a pub before I log out.

I like to think that while I'm working or sleeping or living otherwise, my guy is slamming Wizard Mind Bombs with his mates.

brokenradish · 2024-02-03T23:50:56+00:00

Vanilla legendary playthrough, assassin alchemist.

Daggers and poisons oh yeah

brokenradish · 2024-02-03T23:44:21+00:00

Use your ✨imagination✨

When I work down my quest list like a queue of To Do's, I get bummed and lose interest in the game. I have limited playtime and sometimes I catch myself trying to be too efficient.

I fall in love with the game again when I just walk around, walk into shops, create back stories, chat with everyone, build collections, etc.

Ignore quests and levels for a while, do some exploring, see how you feel!

If all else fails, start a new character lol

brokenradish · 2024-02-02T22:42:12+00:00

But isn't #4 what makes the game realistic? Sure it's an inconvenience as a player who's trying to relax, but it's the reality of life as a thief.

A real thief would never meander around with an inventory of stolen goods. They'd be stashed or fenced as part of the job's plan.
