Discussion Post reignite cancelation complaints
So many posts about how everyone was "so ready to play" followed up by "reignited canceled will be the end of rs3 " or whatever. These folks were the same that left for MTX and have been bashing the game for 13 years.
Let Jagex continue to cook and give them a chance if youre really that interested instead of hopping on here and saying crazy things that will actually drive new players away.
SO, this question is for those people-
Why dont you just use your wallet to tell jagex whats up?

My in laws and coworkers were also going to play.
Now we never will because someone who’s played the game for 20 years is farther in it than we are. You can just kiss the money we’ve never payed, because we haven’t played, goodbye!
Your entire community is so toxic because they won’t change the game that’s been out all of these years for me! What kind of toxic behavior is that, do you not know who I am?!

u/EmbarrassedPower5875 1d ago
But the truly ironic part of that is.. Jagex wouldn't be making more money on subs anyways because they already have membs.
They'd have to anti up for a brand new sub and pay the new price hike that everyone (rightfully so) was so pissed about.- ESPECIALLY the OS sub
0
u/minisom38 1d ago
The truly ironic part is that all of my comments are mocking the osrs players and the bots who have been toxic in this sub the passed 2 days
So I’m not sure if you want me to actually answer your concerns or just listen to you be upset 😂
1
u/EmbarrassedPower5875 1d ago
Huh? I have no concerns. Reignited has been canned. The game will either grow organically or not based off the time/effort Jagex chooses to put into it (Quite literally what the Roadmap- which was frankly, something I was incredibly excited for).
Now we can get back to that. Now- if they choose to revisit reignited sometime in the future- but with certain changes being made.. Well I'm not going to lie- they probably fucked that beyond salvation at this point BUT had they had those changes from the get go and NOT drop the ball with how they went about the announcement and follow up blogs- then I would be willing to bet the reception would have been overall POSITIVE.

No need to dwell on it, be toxic, or flood the thread with the same posts everyone else is doing. Let it go, we won, move on.
Now is the time to speak highly of the good thats coming ahead and push for organic player growth rather than a new mode. If the game tanks because groups like this keep laughing at those who wanted ReIgnited, the community will keep shrinking.
-4
u/NoGuarantee3572 Max Skill Taint 1d ago
Start? I've always spoken highly of the game. You've essentially repeated the point of the post.
New players have always been and will always be welcome. I think the real gate is being kept by the larger portion of the community that have always talked badly about it
2
u/EmbarrassedPower5875 1d ago
That part- they spread around blatantly false information and/or just repeat talking points that haven't been applicable to the game in YEARS just.. because.
We're at the point now where most of the ones talking shit have never actually played RS3 because they weren't there for EOC.

u/Comput3rn3rd My Cabbages! 1d ago
Half the reason people play MmOs is because they have put a ton of time into it, it’s a bit of sunk cost fallacy.
Sure, maybe reignited would bring more people.
But would it bring more than the vets who were giving up and stopping playing?
Why is the solution to invalidate people’s work for 20 years? You have people who are just getting their first 99s after a decade because they don’t have the time others do. So those People just restart? They’ll move onto something else.
So now you’ve gotten rid of someone who happily payed year over year for minimal play, for someone you hope will stay long term that hasn’t in the past?

If the are done right. Because it like the fresh Start could give me a different way of playing. Like a chunk account. Rs3 would benefit from more styles of play..

u/NoGuarantee3572 Max Skill Taint 1d ago
I agree. And I wish theyd put a conscious effort into this a while back. There is a certain toxicity in the air now that this is all out of the bag. Certainly a victory for long term subscribers but my point is 100% that people should try it out again anyway.
And why wait? Halloween events going on now, updates still taking place.

Actually, I didn't leave and bash the game for 13 years, I kept playing rs3. As someone who's been maxed since 2018, I think the fresh start would've just been fun.
But I was repeatedly insulted and called a tourist and a liar for saying I'd play it.
The damage isn't in the cancellation of reignited, but in how the community acted toward anyone showing support for it.

u/Scudy_22 22h ago
a hard reset is a requirement to remove the impact of mtx.
2
u/NoGuarantee3572 Max Skill Taint 17h ago
Unfortunately people think this way. Expecially since they've all expressed how badly they wanted to play. Its not in the game anymore and will fix itself over time. The reset isnt necessary because nothing is fundamentally broken (except early game content) that would be effected by it.
People need to stop worrying about what other people did while they werent even interested in the game.

u/ProfessionalBedding 1d ago
Was excited for a fresh start with everyone beginning at the same time. No maxed accounts or any mtx influence like before.
Almost like a new mmo.

Hey maybe instead of hiding behind an alt account that you decided to take out of hiding just 13 days ago, try growing some gonads and use your main account and voice that opinion of yours.
You may be taken more serious for your take. So far? You’re only proving that you guys are trolling/showing signs you don’t even have any means of staying/taking this seriously.
Account is faker than funk.

u/Cloud0P 1d ago
Difference to what? An economy that been around since before some of us have been born? Botted accounts that never got banned for cheating all day and if they did get caught they just got a slap on the wrist with some reduction in levels?
Whats wrong with opening new servers, are you Houdini and can predict an outcome? If the game isnt competive like all you think it isnt then why do you care about a new server? Because it will pull people away from old servers? I dont understand your take at all dude.

u/Cheap_Illustrator910 1d ago
The Grand Exchange is the big equalizer. After a few short days, you can buy almost anything you want on the GE - at least at the levels you’ll be at. As a result, the feeling would be no different as a new account or a new economy account.

u/Radiant_Site9287 1d ago
"If they were so ready to play, they would be playing already"
Can you elaborate on that because as an RS3 player it seems people liked the appeal of an new player base where people start to together. And that with it cancelled they wont be interested since it was a big appeal.
1
u/AU-Kitten 1d ago
And what is stopping all those 'new players' all just logging in together, and doing exactly that.
Nothing.
Its the exact same game.
4
u/Radiant_Site9287 1d ago
They wanted to start together seperate from the existing playerbase. But now they can't because it got removed.
If its the exact same game then we wouldnt of needed all that outrage for Reignited to be cancelled. Do you even listen? You ignored my question to elaborate on what you meant
0
u/AU-Kitten 1d ago
Exactly.
They didnt want to be part of the community, they wanted their own little piece of the world for themselves, away from the community as a whole.
I was interested in Reignited from the start, even considered playing it until i heard that it would be splitting the existing (tiny) playerbase into even smaller segments.
That is not acceptable at all.
Runescape 3, is not a game that can afford to be split up like OSRS. It doesn't have the playerbase to do so.
If you want to play a game you will play it, you do not need to segregate the existing playerbase and piss them off to try a game out and see if you enjoy it.
0
u/Radiant_Site9287 1d ago
People arent trying to play the game just to piss off existing players. The world doesn't revolve around yours and their feelings. The money focus isn't with catering to the end game player base right now. What is this logic?
And youre right. Many people wont play it now and it is a big loss on a financial move. Only because the existing playerbase is still their money source for RS3 and that population is shrinking. Apparently splitting the community was a popular choice and a lot of people were ready to try it.
You even saw the appeal why people would return and you backpedal on your words based on your emotions. They can try the game now. But its even cooler if it was with reignited. You think all those people who were pumped for reignited and now are upset are just being performative or something?
2
u/AU-Kitten 1d ago
The reality is that Reignited was just the same game.
Nothing different. For people who have never played RS3, they do not understand the core of the game itself, it was solved years ago. It's broken, disjointed and very easy to just push progression extremely fast.
Two weeks to a month is all it would take for Reignited to end up in the exact same spot as the current live servers, People would be pushing endgame bosses, have BiS gear and we would just be back at square one.
The kicker? All the people that wanted to try the game would just complain again, that veterans with 25 years of knowledge ruined the game for them by playing it as its intended.
2
u/Radiant_Site9287 1d ago
Its not the same game. I can see the reason people dont want to play a game full of players who didn't need to train agility because they had boots to avoid a dreadful skill. People who had handouts of gold, magical note paper and springs. People who used DXP week with $100-1000s+ of daily MTX rewards to get to 99 in a few hours from nothing from proteans and dummies which are the biggest AFK xp methods. And then wonder why it doesnt feel as fulfilling to have to share the same servers as them. They should just force every to player to play an ironman with that logic. Those arent 2 weeks to a month problem. We need clear indicators to separate new players and what they want. And this is the reason the biggest MTX games nowadays are singeplayer with extremely limited coop mode.
1
u/AU-Kitten 1d ago
Copy -> Paste
"Its not the same game guys!"
/s
Realistically though, why does any of that matter to you.
Your progression is not tied to another persons. Its a personal acheivement, and if you think otherwise have you considered that perhaps you are the problem to begin with?5
u/Radiant_Site9287 1d ago
Its a social aspect. Thats why all these triple A successful gatcha games who are very methodical in their approach dont make it multiplayer or MMOs to not mix them with such MTX players.
Do you think they are making a mistake and don't know how to onboard new players? They should know the most. Apparently a lot of people know its a big money aspect except for a chunk of RS3 players. Or do you jsut not want to admit it?

u/Dutch_Lightskin Master Completionist 1d ago
If you and the other people that were TOTALLY gonna play all start at dec 2 youd have your dream still fulfilled yall can all start at low level together :)
1
u/MrStealYoBeef 1d ago
And if you and all the other vets that were TOTALLY gonna have nobody to trade with just kept playing instead, you would have an economy after all.
And yet somehow vets convinced themselves that it was the end of the world, they needed to delete their accounts, and there would be no future for them. Welcome to the self fulfilling prophecy.
The reality is that it doesn't happen all at once without a catalyst event. If you want to see a lot of people join up and play together, there needs to be an event to incentivize it. Otherwise they just won't care.

I use revo bar + a little manual for bossing. Hot keys on the keyboard. Plays more like WoW than osrs. It takes some getting used to but I find it more engaging than just the point and click.

u/AU-Kitten 1d ago
I mostly use revolution basics and just use my major abilities myself, its enough to push any content in the game and doesnt require the APM input of a starcraft 2 pro.
When im not doing bosses i just go full revolution and let it cycle skills itself.

Similar to other MMO's you have Basics (Builders) and Threshhold/Ultimates (Spenders) that use your adrenaline in combat.
The core gameplay is build -> Ultimate buff -> spend as much as possible in that window

u/Open_Organization997 16h ago
It is easy to communicate to a large audience a new beginning I don't blame the devs for this. It shows that the game desperatly needs new players. People without game knowledge are less interested about specific things changing in the said game. One is easily markatable and the other not at all.

They literally could have said the servers would merge after 3 months and it probably would have been fine.

u/VarrocksTopModel 15h ago
Right but you need a reason for these new players to want to come to the game. It comes down to how it’s marketed.
Players don’t want to join an empty world with a crazy inflated economy. Players DO however want to start fresh in a living world with a new economy because it’s infinitely more social.
2
u/NoGuarantee3572 Max Skill Taint 15h ago
RtR had been that reason for months before reignited. The world's arent empty and the economy (though "inflated", through 13 years of people playing) currently benefits new players because lower teir gear is cheaper than it would be otherwise.
Again, they could have announced the servers would have merged in 3 months and none of this would havr been an issue.
2
u/VarrocksTopModel 15h ago
The worlds are absolutely empty lol. I resubbed on my Ironman 3 months ago and only ever saw people at the GE and sinkholes.
There are many grinding methods that bring in tens of millions per hour. It’s completely out of hand. Goblins drop grapes that are literally 22k
They can merge the servers but that doesn’t automatically bring in new players. People aren’t just sitting around googling what RS3 is up to. You need big overhauls like Reignited
1
u/NoGuarantee3572 Max Skill Taint 15h ago
There are far too many servers for how many players there are but there seems to be a fair amount of people currently grinding out Necromancy. Thats where ive been the last 2 months.
I dont understand the problem with a free market in the game. 22k for grapes means theyre worth something to someone. Change the drop rate or creature.

u/Tavius14 1d ago
Such disingenuous comments.
Why is RS3 the only MMO that needs to be restarted and reset? As if there isn't MTX in other MMOs.
I'm sure you were "just" about to sign up for Reignited. I'm sure.
There's so many accounts that are vets that never bought any MTX. I'd say the majority probably haven't boosted their accounts. But besides that, saying you don't want to try RS3 because there's higher level players than you is just trolls talking.
Honestly, if there's genuine people that want to try RS3, right now is the best time to do so. Road to Restoration, 10 days free membership in December, early game reworks.
Now is the time. This path will attract and retain members. Reignited trolls were never here to stay.

Because your assumption was stupid and toxic.
You said those that said “so ready to play” and “reignited cancelled will be the end of RS3” were the same folks that left for MTX and have been bashing it for years. I’m neither of those but your above statements apply to me as I was ready to play reignited and I believe the game is going to come to an end due to y’all rioting over every update. Therefore, I apply to your question.1
u/NoGuarantee3572 Max Skill Taint 1d ago
I believe you could play the game perfectly well as is, still, and youre welcome to. It doesnt apply to you because you probably werent on here questioning validity of veteran accounts based off how youre talking here.

u/Lucyonshrooms Maxed 1d ago
I’m not going to give my long old comment again as I’ve done it on multiple posts, and it just goes over peoples head or in one ear out the other.
But in short, creating a new account in current RS3 isn’t the same as creating an account in reignited and it’s stupid to assume so. I planned on keeping my membership for my main as well as purchasing one for a new reignited account so I can enjoy being a low level on the rise with likeminded people. Ya know, being a noob in the world of noobs again. Being a noob on a server with people as toxic as the current veterans that claim to “love and care for the game” as they’re protesting every “controversial” update sounds horrible, especially the more I’m on Reddit.

I don't understand, the game IS good, yet people won't even bother trying because little timmy could or could not have bought some mtx bs. Not to mention the plethora of fallacies revolving MTX like people claiming everyone is maxed, and/or maxed through MTX.
Just try the game ffs, so many new content creators giving an honest try to the game, iron or not, all they gotta do is just try it. The reignited was a miss from Jagex, because it was never truly needed.
